Medication errors in the hospitals are not uncommon even in the developed countries. A 30 years old lady was admitted with 32 weeks pregnancy with gastroenteritis followed by intrauterine death. In the high dependency unit of obstetric department, accidentally 50 milliliters of liquid paraffin was administered intravenously. With 12 days of vigorous treatment comprising mechanical ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure, an emergency hysterotomy to avoid the complications of intrauterine death; 3 cycles of plasmapheresis; and ultimately broncho-alveolar lavage, her condition improved and she was discharged from hospital.

Understanding the interfacial interaction mechanisms between oil and minerals is of vital importance in the applications of petroleum production and environmental protection. In this work, the interactions of dodecane with mica and calcite in aqueous media were investigated by using the drop probe technique based on atomic force microscopy. For the dodecane-mica interactions, the electrical double layer (EDL) repulsion dominated in 10 mM NaCl solution, and a higher pH facilitated the detachment of dodecane.

The Canadian Guidelines for the Management of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) have been developed to manage radiation doses received in workplaces involving NORM, such as mineral extraction and processing, oil and gas production, metal recycling or water treatment facilities. This management strategy works well for most naturally occurring radioactive materials in workplaces, with the exception of radon. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas generated by the decay of uranium-bearing minerals in rocks and soils.

Department of Civil Engineering, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, People's Republic of China.
The remediation of oil-contaminated soil poses significant environmental challenges, often necessitating innovative approaches for effective and sustainable solutions. This study focuses on the synthesis, characterisation, and application of biodegradable capsules loaded with surfactant for enhanced oil remediation of a clean sand. By controlling the release properties of capsules, the research aims to overcome the limitations of conventional surfactant-based remediation methods, such as rapid washout and reduced efficacy over time.

Genetic alterations, including mutations and gene fusions, are central to its molecular pathogenesis. The discovery of therapeutically targetable gene fusions, such as ALK, RET, ROS1, and NTRK1, has significantly advanced lung cancer management.
