Background And Purpose: Previous observational studies have identified correlations between liver enzyme levels and stroke risk. However, the strength and consistency of these associations vary. To comprehensively evaluate the relationship between liver enzymes and stroke risk, we conducted meta-analyses complemented by Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses.

Herein, we develop a simple and high-reliability hydrogel-based nanotechnology based on the formation of Au nanoparticles in molybdenum disulfide (MoS)-doped agarose (MoS/AG) hydrogels for electrophoresis-integrated microplate protein recognition. After the incubation of MoS/AG hydrogels in HAuCl solutions, MoS nanosheets spontaneously reduce Au ions, and the hydrogels are remarkably stained with the color of as-synthetic plasmonic Au hybrid nanomaterials (Au staining).

- Aerobic granular sludge is a cool method for cleaning dirty water, but it can be hard to keep it stable and working well.
- This study looked at a new way to predict how healthy the granules are by using something called dynamic texture entropy from images of how they settle.
- The results showed that faster sorting of the granules means they are healthier, and using this new method can help keep the sludge stable and effective at treating wastewater.
Managing stability of aerobic granules by coordinating diameter and denitrification.

Aerobic Granular Sludge (AGS) technology is a promising solution for wastewater treatment due to its structure and high biomass retention capacity. However, the stability of AGS is still a challenge for widespread use. This study investigated the relationships among granule stability, granule diameter, biomass retention capacity, and denitrification efficiency.

- - A 28-year-old woman with a 5-year history of intermittent abdominal pain was diagnosed with chronic diverticulitis and multiple inflammatory polyps related to Meckel's Diverticulum.
- - During laparoscopic surgery, a large Meckel's Diverticulum with inflammatory polyps was discovered and successfully removed, with the pathology revealing ectopic gastric mucosa.
- - This case highlights that Meckel's diverticulitis, although rare, can lead to multiple inflammatory polyps and should be considered in adults with chronic abdominal pain.
The essential oils (EOs) from leaves, stems, and whole plant of Piper boehmeriifolium were analyzed using GC/FID and GC/MS. The main constituents of P. boehmeriifolium EOs were β-caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide, β-elemene, spathulenol, germacrene D, β-selinene, and neointermedeol.
