Ultrasonic oxidation provides the degradation of a wide range of water pollutants to the final products defined as carbon dioxide, short-chain organic acids, and inorganic ions, typically less toxic and favorable to biodegradation. In this study, it was investigated the application of novel ultrasonic reactor that allows the several combinations of low (20Â kHz and 40Â kHz) and high frequency ultrasonic piezoceramic transducer (578Â kHz, 862Â kHz and 1142Â kHz) to degrade two main cyanobacterial toxins, Microcystin-RR (MC-RR) and Microcystin-LR (MC-LR). A plate transducer operating at different frequencies (40Â kHz or 578Â kHz/862Â kHz/1142Â kHz) was combined with a probe (20Â kHz) as well as two plate transducers 40Â kHz and 578Â kHz/862Â kHz/1142Â kHz were combined to provide dual frequency ultrasonic reactor (DFUR).

- * About 9.8% of the patients died during hospitalization, with older individuals and those with preexisting kidney issues showing higher mortality rates due to severe injuries and complications.
- * Key factors influencing mortality included age, injury severity, shock, and certain elevated lab values, highlighting the need for better disaster preparedness and health care improvements for future events.
Article Synopsis
- Millions are affected by natural disasters annually, leading to serious medical issues like crush syndrome, which often results in acute kidney injury tied to high mortality rates.
- This study analyzed data from 1024 patients with crush syndrome after the February 2023 earthquakes in Kahramanmaras, focusing on their treatment and outcomes in Turkish hospitals.
- The findings revealed high rates of acute kidney injury and hemodialysis treatment, with a 9.8% in-hospital mortality rate, highlighting the urgent need for improved emergency response training and protocols for managing kidney health in disaster scenarios.
The development of effective methods for the surveillance of seasonal respiratory viruses is required for the timely management of outbreaks. We aimed to survey Influenza-A, Influenza-B, RSV-A, Rhinovirus and SARS-CoV-2 surveillance in a tertiary hospital and a campus over 5 months. The effectiveness of air screening as an early warning system for respiratory viruses was evaluated in correlation with respiratory tract panel test results.

- SNURPORTIN-1 (SNUPN) is important for transporting proteins in the cell but its exact job wasn’t known before.
- Researchers studied 18 kids with a rare type of muscular dystrophy and found that changes in the SNUPN gene might be causing their health issues.
- The study showed that the faulty SNUPN protein doesn't work properly, leading to problems in muscle cells and causing symptoms of muscular dystrophy in these kids.
