Uptake of lead, cadmium and copper by heavy metal-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain DR7 isolated from soil.

This study highlights the biosorption capacity for Cd (II), Cu (II) and Pb (II) by a locally isolated Pseudomonas aeruginosa DR7. At initial concentrations of 150 mg L and 240 min of contact time, P. aeruginosa DR7 showed a 62.

Association of Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery of Great Britain and Ireland (AUGIS)/perioperative quality initiative (POQI) consensus statement on prehabilitation in oesophagogastric surgery.

Background: Prehabilitation is safe, feasible and may improve a range of outcomes in patients with oesophago-gastric cancer (OGC). Recent studies have suggested the potential of prehabilitation to improve body composition, sarcopenia and physical fitness, reduce surgical complications and improve quality of life. Despite this, prehabilitation services are not offered throughout all OGC centres in the UK.

Radiation Exposure During Invasive Cardiovascular Procedures: Portable Shielding System Versus Standard Lead Aprons.

Introduction Significant progress in the field of interventional cardiology has led to a rise in percutaneous procedures and an increase in the risk of radiation exposure at the workplace. Staff health has been put at risk due to the limitations of conventional radiation protective techniques. Innovative methods, such as RAMPART, have promising prospects for enhancing radiation safety.

Removal of Heavy Metals by Pseudomonas sp. - Model Fitting and Interpretation.

Industrial and urban modernization processes generate significant amounts of heavy metal wastewater, which brings great harm to human production and health. The biotechnology developed in recent years has gained increasing attention in the field of wastewater treatment due to its repeatable regeneration and lack of secondary pollutants. Pseudomonas, being among the several bacterial biosorbents, possesses notable benefits in the removal of heavy metals.

In-Situ Generation of Hydrogen Polysulfides (HS) with Thioglucose, Glucose Oxidase, and Chloroperoxidase.

Hydrogen polysulfides (HS) have emerged as critical physiological mediators that are closely associated with hydrogen sulfide (HS) signaling. HS exhibit greater nucleophilicity than HS while also having electrophilic characteristics, enabling unique activities such as protein S-persulfidation. Despite their physiological importance, mechanisms and reactivities of HS remain inadequately explored due to their inherent instability in aqueous environments.
