The performance of both free and solid supported urease for the enzymatic hydrolysis of urea was studied. Kinetic analysis of reaction rate data shows that the kinetic data were consistent with the proposed model. Statistical tests validated the model. Despite the deactivation of ureases, the immobilized enzyme could be the choice for a technological process aiming at the detoxification of blood in haemoperfusion columns.

This study investigates the production of high-purity cellulose pulp from peach (Prunus persica) fruit wastes generated during the processing of a Greek compote and juice production industry. A three-step chemical process is used, including alkaline treatment with NaOH, organic acid (acetic and formic) treatment, and hydrogen peroxide treatment, with the goal of cellulose extraction and purification. A fractional factorial design optimized reagent levels, revealing the strong influence of NaOH concentration on α-cellulose content and degree of polymerization.

Earthworms are keystone animals stimulating litter decomposition and nutrient cycling. However, earthworms comprise diverse species which live in different soil layers and consume different types of food. Microorganisms in the gut of earthworms are likely to contribute significantly to their ability to digest organic matter, but this may vary among earthworm species.

Introduction: End-stage renal failure has negative effects on sexual life, and solid kidney transplantation helps to recovery in sexuality. However, recovery in sexual life progresses slowly, and female recipients may need spousal support during this process. To examine the perceived spousal support and sexual lives of female kidney recipients in the aim of this study.

Selpercatinib, a highly selective inhibitor, has demonstrated efficacy in various solid tumors harboring alterations. Here, we present a case highlighting the use and clinical outcomes of selpercatinib in a patient diagnosed with advanced lung adenocarcinoma harboring a fusion.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the value of a radiomic nomogram based on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) for differentiating benign and malignant solid-containing renal masses.
Materials And Methods: A total of 122 patients with pathologically confirmed benign (n=47) or malignant (n=75) solid-containing renal masses were enrolled in this study. Radiomic features were extracted from the arterial, venous and delayed phases and further analysed by dimensionality reduction and selection.
