Article Synopsis
  • Arsenic is a toxic contaminant in drinking water, and this study introduces a new electrochemical sensor for detecting arsenic(v) using a modified electrode made from ZnO nanorods and α-FeO nanoparticles.
  • The electrode is created through a two-step process involving hydrothermal synthesis and dip-coating, with the most effective results coming from a sample coated three times (ZNF-3), which exhibited the best morphology and electrochemical performance.
  • Testing showed the sensor can detect arsenic(v) concentrations between 0 to 50 ppb, with a strong linear correlation in the calibration plot, and it has detection limits that are below the WHO's maximum recommended levels for arsenic in drinking water.

Background/purpose: The treatment of children with Hirschsprung's disease beginning in the proximal jejunum remains a challenge for the pediatric surgeon. These patients need a definitive parenteral nutrition, which could lead to a liver impairment. The goal of this work is to assess the quality of life after combined liver, intestine, and right colon transplantation.
