Magnetite addition reduces nitrite requirement for efficient anaerobic ammonium oxidation by facilitating mutualism of ANAMMOX and FEAMMOX bacteria.

Partial nitrification (PN) is crucial for anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX), but faces challenges such as high energy demands and process control. Recent research has highlighted additives like magnetite as potential alternatives to conventional electron acceptors (O₂ and NO₂) for enhancing ammonium (NH) oxidation with lower energy consumption. This study investigated the effect of adding 50 mg/L of magnetite to ANAMMOX reactors, resulting in improved nitrogen (N) removal efficiency.

Enhanced anaerobic co-digestion of cattle manure with food waste and pig manure: Statistical optimization of pretreatment condition and substrate mixture ratio.

This study investigated the optimal pretreatment condition and mixture ratio of cattle manure (CM) for its efficient anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) with food waste (FW) and pig manure (PM). The pretreatment performances of thermal (TM), microwave (MW), and ultrasound (US) technologies and the AcoD performance were statistically and experimentally evaluated at various mixture ratios of CM, FW, and PM. The results revealed that the most effective pretreatment condition with the TM, MW, and US pretreatments was 129.

Influence of increasing anode surface area on nitrite-absent ammonium oxidation in a continuous single-chamber bio-electrochemical system.

Reducing energy consumption in conventional nitrogen removal processes is a crucial and urgent requirement. This study proposes an efficient electrode-dependent bio-electrochemical anaerobic ammonium (NH-N) oxidation (BE-ANAMMOX) process, employing a carbon brush as the electron acceptor and voltage of 0.8 V.

Uncemented Total Hip Arthroplasty in an Adult without Osteotomy for Neglected Developmental Dysplasia of Hip.

Introduction: Developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) is an abnormal development of hip joint which when neglected in early age group can lead to joint pain and secondary osteoarthritic changes. Crowe types III and IV neglected DDH joint is widely managed with total hip arthroplasty with subtrochanteric shortening.

Case Report: A 52-year-old female presented with neglected DDH joint which was managed in two stages with femoral lowering followed by uncemented total hip arthroplasty without osteotomy.

Prediction, Synthesis and Evaluation of a Synthetic Peptide as an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) Candidate for Screening of Bovine Antibodies against .

Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) of livestock are endemic across various parts of tropical countries. Theileriosis is one such economically important TBD, caused by the Theileriidae family of organisms, which is transmitted by ticks. , the causative agent of tropical theileriosis, contributes a significant loss to the dairy sector by causing anorexia, high fever, anemia, inflammatory changes in vital organs and icterus, thus, a loss in milk yield.

Potential of nitrite-absent anaerobic ammonium oxidation by mixed culture ANAMMOX granules in a single chamber bio-electrochemical system.

Nitrogen (N) removal from wastewater is essential, but it a process that demands a substantial amount of energy. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop treatment processes that can conserve and use energy effectively. This study investigated the potential of a single chamber bio-electrochemical system (BES) for ammonium (NH) removal.

Bioelectrochemical system for nitrogen removal: Fundamentals, current status, trends, and challenges.

Biological nitrogen removal (BNR) is essential for the treatment of nitrogen-containing wastewater. However, the requirement for aeration and the addition of external carbon sources, resulting in greenhouse gas emissions and additional costs, are disadvantages of the traditional BNR process. Alternative technologies have been devised to overcome these drawbacks.

Synergetic effects of anaerobic co-digestion of food waste and algae on biogas production.

Anaerobic co-digestion of food waste and algae was assessed to offset the drawbacks of anaerobic mono-digestion of each substrate. Batch test results indicated that a food waste and algae mixture ratio of 8:2 facilitated the highest CH yield (334 mL CH/g COD). This ratio was applied to the anaerobic co-digestion reactor, resulting in a CH yield that was twice that of the anaerobic mono-digestion reactors, thereby facilitating high operational stability.

Acute Reconstruction of Traumatic Zone IV Re-tear of Extensor Hallucis Longus Tendon using Extensor Hallucis Brevis loop Technique - A Mid-term Follow-up Case Report.

Introduction: The present case report describes an acute reconstruction of extensor hallucis longus (EHL) tendon with defect treated using looped extensor hallucis brevis (EHB) tendon graft.

Case Report: A 40 year male manual labor had an acute traumatic EHL tear which was repaired at a primary health care center. After 2 days, the patient felt a sudden click and a re-tear at zone IV of EHL.

Realizable wastewater treatment process for carbon neutrality and energy sustainability: A review.

Despite a quick shift of global goals toward carbon-neutral infrastructure, activated sludge based conventional systems inhibit the Green New Deal. Here, a municipal wastewater treatment plant (MWWTP) for carbon neutrality and energy sustainability is suggested and discussed based on realizable technical aspects. Organics have been recovered using variously enhanced primary treatment techniques, thereby reducing oxygen demand for the oxidation of organics and maximizing biogas production in biological processes.

Molecular and pathological screening of canine distemper virus in Asiatic lions, tigers, leopards, snow leopards, clouded leopards, leopard cats, jungle cats, civet cats, fishing cat, and jaguar of different states, India.

The present investigation was conducted to rule out canine distemper (CD) diseases in Indian wild felids (Asiatic lions, tigers, leopards, snow leopards, clouded leopards, leopard cats, jungle cats, civet cats, fishing cat, and jaguar). The collected samples were screened for CD virus (CDV) by histopathology (HP), immunohistochemistry (IHC) and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) targeting H gene and N gene. The HP and IHC of suspected samples portrayed that 22 [11 leopards, 6 lions, 3 tigers, 1 snow leopard and 1 civet cat] out of 129 (17.

Biochar seeding promotes struvite formation, but accelerates heavy metal accumulation.

This study investigated the effects of biochar seeding (wheat straw biochar and rice husk biochar) on nutrient recovery via struvite formation, and improvements in the particle size of precipitated struvite from anaerobic digestate supernatant. Simultaneously, the influence of biochar seeding on heavy metal accumulation and elimination of pathogens (total coliforms and Escherichia coli) was evaluated under various operational factors, e.g.
