In this study, the assessment of the leaves' co-product resulting from the hydrodistillation process was conducted to evaluate its anticorrosive potential for carbon steel in the hydrochloric acid medium. Phytochemical analysis of this biomass revealed its abundance in terms of polyphenols and flavonoids; hence the determination of total polyphenol content recorded a value of 75.4 mg GAE per g extract.

Anodic (negative) electrodes based on Janus two-dimensional (2D) monolayers are among the most promising candidates. In this effort, the adsorption and diffusion of these Li, Na, and Mg ions on and through Janus 2D-TiSSe as anodic material was investigated by means of periodic DFT-D calculations.

Methods: Retrospective study including patients who underwent frozen embryo transfer (FET), ovarian stimulation (OS), or unassisted conception (UC) and had a live singleton birth. The primary outcome was the development of hypertensive diseases of pregnancy (gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, HELLP, or eclampsia).
