Biosorbent silver nanoparticles decorated coffee-ground waste composite for cleaning water and antimicrobial applications.

A sustainable biosorbent, silver nanoparticles-decorated coffee-ground waste (CWAg), was synthesized through a simple in-situ reduction method. CWAg is extensively characterized via SEM-EDX, PZC, FTIR, XRD, HR-TEM, and XPS analyses. The biosorbent was tested to remove chromium (Cr(VI)) and methylene blue (MB) from wastewater, and its antibacterial properties was evaluated.

Clinical validity of fluorescence-based devices versus visual-tactile method in detection of secondary caries around resin composite restorations: diagnostic accuracy study.

Objectives: To assess the validity of light-induced and laser-induced fluorescence devices compared to the visual-tactile method for detecting secondary caries around resin composite restorations.

Materials And Methods: The study included 20 participants with 30 resin-composite restored teeth. Restorations' margins were examined using three diagnostic methods: the visual-tactile method (FDI criteria), the light-induced fluorescence camera (VistaCam iX), and the laser-induced fluorescence device (DIAGNOdent pen), and the reference was visual inspection after removal of defective restorations.

Successful Reduction of a Dislocated Hip Joint in a Patient With Cutis Laxa From a PYCR1 Mutation: Case Report.

The surgical principles of treating a high riding hip dislocation in patients with positive PYCR1 gene mutation should be comprehensive including open reduction, pelvic osteotomy, and femoral shortening osteotomy with derotation. Meticulous capsulorrhaphy optimizes the development and stability of the hip joint.

Predictors of renal outcomes and mortality in patients with renal vein thrombosis: a retrospective multicenter study.

Background: Studies on renal vein thrombosis have been conducted as case reports or case series. The renal outcomes and mortality risk of renal vein thrombosis have not been fully established. We aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment modalities, and predictors of renal outcomes and mortality in patients with renal vein thrombosis in a large multicenter cohort.
