College of Chemistry and Material Science, Northwest University, Xi'an 710127, China.
With rapid, energy-intensive, and coal-fueled economic growth, global air quality is deteriorating, and particulate matter pollution has emerged as one of the major public health problems worldwide. It is extremely urgent to achieve carbon emission reduction and air pollution prevention and control, aiming at the common problem of weak and unstable signals of characteristic elements in the application of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technology for trace element detection. In this study, the influence of the optical fiber collimation signal enhancement method on the LIBS signal was explored.

Objective: To identify the available evidence on the risk of developing cancer in transgender people undergoing hormone therapy.
Methods: This was a rapid systematic review conducted in the PubMed, Embase, Virtual Health Library, Cochrane Library and Epistemonikos databases. Screening and data extraction were performed by independent reviewers using the Rayyan platform.
Rapid and comprehensive detection of viral antibodies and nucleic acids via an acoustofluidic integrated molecular diagnostics chip: AIMDx.

Thomas Lord Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708, USA.
Precise and rapid disease detection is critical for controlling infectious diseases like COVID-19. Current technologies struggle to simultaneously identify viral RNAs and host immune antibodies due to limited integration of sample preparation and detection. Here, we present acoustofluidic integrated molecular diagnostics (AIMDx) on a chip, a platform enabling high-speed, sensitive detection of viral immunoglobulins [immunoglobulin A (IgA), IgG, and IgM] and nucleic acids.

J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr
November 2024
Institute for Global Health, UCL, London, UK.
Background: The risk of onwards HIV transmission is strongly influenced by the interval between HIV infection and its diagnosis. The SELPHI trial examined whether this interval could be reduced by offering free HIV self-testing kits to men-who-have-sex with-men (MSM).
Setting: Internet-based RCT of MSM aged ≥16 years, resident in England/Wales, recruited via sexual and social networking sites.
Enhanced remediation of oil-contaminated mineral sand by the controlled release of a surfactant from calcium alginate capsules.
Environ Technol
January 2025
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.
