Chemical Looping: A Sustainable Approach for Upgrading Light Hydrocarbons to Value-Added Olefins.

In recent times, chemical looping offered a sustainable alternative for upgrading light hydrocarbons into olefins. Olefins are valuable platform chemicals that are utilized for diverse applications. To close the wide shortfall in their global supply, intensified efforts are ongoing to develop on-purpose production technologies.

Effects of aerobic, resistance, and combined exercise training on body fat and glucolipid metabolism in inactive middle-aged adults with overweight or obesity: a randomized trial.

Method: Twenty inactive males (BMI 27.67 ± 0.88 kg/m, age 49.

Efficacy and safety of combination of poly-ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) and chemotherapy compared with chemotherapy alone in treatment of recurrent ovarian carcinoma: a systematic review.

Platinum-based chemotherapy after surgical cytoreduction is the universal treatment for advanced ovarian cancer (OC), however, about eighty percent of patients experienced relapse and progression-free survival remained poor. Patients who relapsed within one year of treatment eventually become resistant to second-line chemotherapy. Poly-ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors are a novel class of targeted therapy that could overcome these challenges by augmenting the chemotherapeutic activity of other cytotoxic agents.

DETERMINANTS OF OUTCOME OF NEONATAL SURGICAL EMERGENCIES IN GOMBE: A 3-YEAR RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW.

Background: Mortality associated with neonatal surgical emergencies is high, due to late presentation and delayed surgical intervention in developing countries. The aim of this study is to determine factors associated with poor outcome of neonatal surgical emergencies at a Federal Teaching Hospital Northeastern Nigeria.

Methods: A retrospective study of 85 neonates aged 1-28 days was carried between June 2019-May 2022.
