The non-linear complex relationships among the process variables in wastewater and waste gas treatment systems possess a significant challenge for real-time systems modelling. Data driven artificial intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly being adopted to predict the process performance, cost-effective process monitoring, and the control of different waste treatment systems, including those involving resource recovery. This review presents an in-depth analysis of the applications of emerging AI tools in physico-chemical and biological processes for the treatment of air pollutants, water and wastewater, and resource recovery processes.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze how erythropoietin is used in patients with end-stage renal disease and how factors like body weight and sex affect their response.
- A total of 120 patients were reviewed, with different dosing regimens for erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, and results showed that the once-weekly dose was significantly more effective than the others.
- Higher body mass index (BMI) was linked to better responses to the therapy, while no significant difference was found between sexes regarding their response to treatment.
APV20002 was a multicenter, international, open-label study that began in 2003 investigating the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety of ritonavir-boosted fosamprenavir (FPV/r) oral solution (OS) in combination with nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) in participants living with HIV-1 aged 4 weeks to <2 years with a primary endpoint at Week 48 (48W). Participants in APV20002 could continue in the study post-48W until FPV OS was locally available in their countries. Children were required to discontinue after reaching >39 kg or if FPV OS had no clinical benefit.

According to medical literature, the frontal recess' intricate physical structure resembles an inverted funnel. The anatomical structure is not distant from the frontal ostium. Surgery requires a good understanding of the frontal recess architecture because of the intricate anatomy of this relatively small area.

- Children's pain during dental procedures can be effectively reduced with computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery, which provides a steady flow of anesthetic.
- A study comparing children's discomfort using traditional anesthetic methods versus a new auto-controlled injection method found that kids reported greater comfort with the computer-controlled device.
- The study involved 25 children aged 6-12 and used self-report anxiety and pain scales to assess their experiences during both types of anesthesia administration.
