Article Synopsis
  • - The growing emphasis on wastewater treatment is largely due to the environmental and health risks posed by hard-to-treat pharmaceutical compounds, which traditional methods often fail to eliminate.
  • - The electro-Fenton (EF) method, a new advanced oxidation process combining electrochemistry with traditional Fenton chemistry, has emerged as a promising solution for effectively breaking down these persistent contaminants in wastewater.
  • - The review highlights key factors affecting the efficiency of the EF process, such as pH and current density, and discusses its scalability and commercialization potential, while also addressing ongoing challenges in wastewater treatment.

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the most commonly performed bariatric surgical procedure with successful outcomes. RYGB has multiple positive outcomes, including sustained weight reduction, resolution of co-morbidities and improvement in the overall health. RYGB has many complications like any other surgery, but the development of tuberculosis (TB) either pulmonary or extra-pulmonary secondary to RYGB is very rare.

Asn deamidation was monitored in Ala-based octadecapeptides of varying alpha-helicity. Gly was substituted for Ala residues at positions 6 and 16 to create a peptide with less helicity. Ala --> Gly substitutions were made at three or more residues from the Asn to negate known primary sequence effects on deamidation rates.
