A novel MOF-on-MOF-derived carbon-encapsulated CeO/Co/CoO humidity-resistant heterojunction with abundant oxygen vacancies for efficient ozone removal.

Ground-level ozone (O) can infiltrate indoor environments, severely impacting the environment and human health. Moisture-induced catalyst deactivation is a major challenge in catalytic ozone removal. MOF-template-derived heterojunctions supported by carbon materials can prevent chemisorption of water vapor at active sites.

Association between long-term PM exposure and mortality on Sumatra Island: Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) 2000-2014.

The concentration of PM (particulate matter with a diameter < 2.5 µm) on Sumatra Island has increased, mainly because of forest and peatland fires, transportation, and industry. Biomass burning releases partially burned carbon into the atmosphere, resulting in a smoky haze containing PM.

A post-test only control group experiment was conducted from July to October 2020.

Can We Predict Renal Function Recovery After Pyeloplasty in Pediatrics with Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction? A Systematic Review.

Chronic unilateral renal obstruction, primarily caused by ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), poses challenges in determining the optimal timing for corrective surgery. The goal is to preserve renal function and alleviate symptoms, but there is no definitive diagnostic test to reliably predict the outcomes of surgery. This systematic review aimed to identify predictors for renal function recovery after pyeloplasty in order to guide effective treatment options.

Lipid Droplets in Endosymbiotic spp. Associated with Corals.

Symbiodiniaceae species is a dinoflagellate that plays a crucial role in maintaining the symbiotic mutualism of reef-building corals in the ocean. Reef-building corals, as hosts, provide the nutrition and habitat to endosymbiotic Symbiodiniaceae species and Symbiodiniaceae species transfer the fixed carbon to the corals for growth. Environmental stress is one of the factors impacting the physiology and metabolism of the corals-dinoflagellate association.

The challenges in diagnosing isolated epididymal tuberculosis (TB) in an adolescent male: a case report.

Background: Genitourinary tuberculosis (GUTB) is a common form of extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) in children. An example of GUTB is epididymal TB, which usually presents unspecific chronic clinical manifestations. Definitive diagnosis can be conducted based on bacteriologic confirmation and histopathologic results, but this is challenging due to the paucibacillary nature of EPTB.

The dhikr and the mental health of the elderly in Aceh, Indonesia.

Background: The ageing population in Indonesia is increasing. However, biological and social changes and declines may trigger mental health problems among the elderly. Existing data show that the prevalence of mental health problems (depression) among the elderly in Indonesia is above 15%.

2,8-Dihydroxyadenine nephrolithiasis with chronic kidney disease in children: A case report and review of literature.

The incidence of nephrolithiasis in children ranges from 5 to 10% in developing countries. Etiology of nephrolithiasis in children remains largely unknown, so metabolic evaluation is indicated in all case, because of potential morbidity and recurrence. We report a case of 2,8-Dihydroxyadenine nephrolithiasis present as bilateral staghorn stone in 11 years old boy with chronic kidney disease.

The role of angiotensin receptor blocker (losartan) on decreasing fibrotic process of corpora cavernosa in priapism model of wistar rats.

Background: Priapism induces regulation of Transforming Growth Factor-β1 (TGF-β1) expression and collagen-type-1 deposition. This will replace the normal corpora cavernosa with fibrotic tissue which eventually resulted in erectile dysfunction. It is also known that the fibrosis process of corpora cavernosa is related to Renin-Angiotensin II System (RAS).

Dynamics in cardiac surgery: trends in population characteristics and the performance of the EuroSCORE II over time.

High-efficiency carbon-coated steel wool filter for controlling cooking-induced oil smoke.

Cooking oil smoke (COS) contains many harmful substances, such as particulate matter, formaldehyde, and phenyl esters. Currently, commercial COS treatment equipment is expensive and requires a large space. Furthermore, a large amount of agricultural waste is generated and is mainly burned onsite, producing large amounts of greenhouse gases and air pollutants.
