Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) using a photocatalyst made from CoFeO@3D-TiO and graphene aerogel, achieving complete removal under specific conditions within 60 minutes while showing high reusability.
  • Intermediate products from the degradation process were found to be non-toxic to E. coli, and total organic carbon (TOC) analysis showed 86% mineralization of CIP, indicating successful transformation of non-biological sewage to biodegradable effluent.
  • The research emphasizes the effectiveness of photocatalysis over simple adsorption with a significantly faster reaction rate, showcasing the potential environmental benefits of using the synthesized photocatalyst under visible light.

Background: Eptinezumab's impact on self-reported work productivity in adults with migraine and 2‒4 prior preventive migraine treatment failures is not fully understood.

Methodology: Electronic diaries captured monthly migraine days (MMDs) reported by patients enrolled in the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled DELIVER trial (NCT04418765). The migraine-specific Work Productivity and Activity Impairment questionnaire, administered at baseline and each monthly visit, was a secondary outcome of DELIVER and used to model changes from baseline in self-reported monthly hours of absenteeism (decreased work attendance) and presenteeism (reduced work efficiency while at work with a migraine) in Canada, as the base case.
