Integrated Approach to Hydrogeochemical Assessment of Groundwater Quality in Major Industrial Zone of Punjab, Pakistan.

Groundwater contamination with arsenic (As) is a significant concern in Pakistan's Punjab Province. This study analyzed 69 groundwater samples from Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Lahore, and Multan to understand hydrogeochemistry, health impacts, contamination sources, and drinking suitability. Results revealed varying as concentrations across districts, with distinctive cation and anion orders.

Fabrication and characterization of a novel Ba-loaded sawdust biochar doped with iron oxide for the super-adsorption of SO from wastewater.

Biochar is a low-cost adsorbent used in the treatment of contaminated wastewater. We investigated the potential of an Fe-impregnated, Ba-loaded biochar (Fe-(Ba-BC)) for the removal of SO from aqueous solutions. The Ba-loaded biochar was synthesized from sawdust impregnated with iron oxide via pyrolysis at 600 °C.

An atypical presentation of small bowel adenocarcinoma; a case report.

Small bowel malignancy (SBM) is a rare malignancy in the gastrointestinal tract. Duodenum is the most commonly involved segment and the most common histological subtype is adenocarcinoma (40%). Due to a lack of screening tools and vague symptoms, its clinical detection is very challenging.
