Utilizing a patient advocacy-led clinical network to engage diverse, community-based sites in implementation-effectiveness research.

Background: Increased engagement with community-based practices is a promising strategy for increasing clinical trials access of diverse patient populations. In this study we assessed the ability to utilize a patient-advocacy organization led clinical network to engage diverse practices as field sites for clinical research.

Methods: GO2 for Lung Cancer led recruitment efforts of 17 field sites from their Centers of Excellence in Lung Cancer Screening Network for participation in an implementation-effectiveness trial focused on smoking cessation integration into screening programs for lung cancer.

Population and conservation threats to the vulnerable Sarus crane in Nepal.

Globally, biodiversity is declining due to habitat loss and degradation, over-exploitation, climate change, invasive species, pollution, and infrastructure development. These threats affect the populations of large waterbird species, such as Sarus crane (), which inhabits agricultural-wetland ecosystems. Despite the burgeoning built-up areas and diminishing agricultural and wetland spaces, scant research investigates the impact of these changing land uses on the globally vulnerable Sarus crane in Nepal.

Study protocol of a multiphase optimization strategy trial (MOST) for delivery of smoking cessation treatment in lung cancer screening settings.

Background: There is widespread agreement that the integration of cessation services in lung cancer screening (LCS) is essential for achieving the full benefits of LCS with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT). There is a formidable knowledge gap about how to best design feasible, effective, and scalable cessation services in LCS facilities. A collective of NCI-funded clinical trials addressing this gap is the Smoking Cessation at Lung Examination (SCALE) Collaboration.

Sexual dimorphism of inferior alveolar canal location: A record- based CBCT Study in Eastern India.

Background: Sex determination from unidentified skeletal remains a daunting task in forensic odontology. The mandible is the strongest and most durable of bones available for post-mortem profiling and its morphometric characteristics have been investigated. Less explored is the location of the mandibular canal which in a few populations has shown gender dimorphism.

Hydrolytically stable citrate capped FeO@UiO-66-NH MOF: A hetero-structure composite with enhanced activity towards Cr (VI) adsorption and photocatalytic H evolution.

Design and facile fabrication of a magnetically separable hetero-structure photocatalyst as well as an adsorbent having dual green benefits towards energy conversion and pollutant remediation are quite indispensable in the current scenario. In this regard, a composite of citrate capped FeO and UiO-66-NH has been designed to remediate Cr (VI) by adsorption and harvest photons from visible light for clean energy (H) conversion. The material was prepared by the union of citrate capped FeO (CCM) and versatile aqueous stable Zr-based MOF (UiO-66-NH) through in-situ solvothermal method.

Exfoliated Boron Nitride (e-BN) Tailored Exfoliated Graphitic Carbon Nitride (e-CN): An Improved Visible Light Mediated Photocatalytic Approach towards TCH Degradation and H Evolution.

A series of 2D/2D exfoliated boron nitride/exfoliated g-CN nanocomposites denoted as e-BN/e-CN have been successfully prepared using a simple in situ technique. The successful deposition of e-BN on e-CN was confirmed from high-resolution transmission electron microscopy analysis. According to electrochemical measurements, 1.

Efficient Photon Conversion via Double Charge Dynamics CeO-BiFeO p-n Heterojunction Photocatalyst Promising toward N Fixation and Phenol-Cr(VI) Detoxification.

For better exciton separation and high catalytic activity, the most trailblazing stratagem is to construct defect engineered low-dimensional p-n heterojunction framed photocatalytic systems. In this context, we have developed a rod-sheet (1D-2D) p-n heterojunction of MCeO-BiFeO by a simple hydrothermal method and scrutinized its photocatalytic performance toward N fixation and phenol/Cr(VI) detoxification. The intimate contact between MCeO and BiFeO in the junction material is well established via X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrosopy (DRS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and photoelectrochemical studies.

Resurrection of boron nitride in p-n type-II boron nitride/B-doped-g-CN nanocomposite during solid-state Z-scheme charge transfer path for the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride.

Antibiotic contaminants have received much attention due to the increasing serious environmental concerns. In this work, for the first time, we have fabricated a series of significant type-II p-n heterostructure with Z-scheme charge transfer between p-type B-doped g-CN with different proportion of n-type BN through a simple in-situ growth process. PXRD, FTIR, UV-Vis, FESEM, HRTEM and EIS analysis were applied for the detailed characterization of the as-prepared composites to study the crystal phase, structural features, optical and electrical properties.

Cr(VI) remediation from aqueous environment through modified-TiO-mediated photocatalytic reduction.

Cr(VI) exhibits cytotoxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic properties; hence, effluents containing Cr(VI) from various industrial processes pose threat to aquatic life and downstream users. Various treatment techniques, such as chemical reduction, ion exchange, bacterial degradation, adsorption and photocatalysis, have been exploited for remediation of Cr(VI) from wastewater. Among these, photocatalysis has recently gained considerable attention.

Pyrochlore CeZrO decorated over rGO: a photocatalyst that proves to be efficient towards the reduction of 4-nitrophenol and degradation of ciprofloxacin under visible light.

In the present study, a series of Ce2Zr2O7@rGO nanocomposites were synthesized using a simple solution combustion method followed by a photoreduction technique. The as-prepared samples were well characterised using various analytical techniques to determine the morphological, optical, structural, electrochemical and compositional properties. The presence of oxygen defects was observed from Raman and photoluminescence spectra.

Anatomy and clinical applications of the mandibular nerve.

A thorough anatomical knowledge is very essential for clinical practice and any surgical procedure. Unfortunately anatomical variations can lead to hazards in medical and dental diagnosis and treatment. Such knowledge is very essential even in effective local anesthesia which is an essential part of treatment in patients with many oral disorders.
