High saturation magnetization monodisperse Fe(3)O(4) hollow microspheres (109.48 emu/g) with superparamagnetic property at room temperature are promptly synthesized by a one-step solvothermal process with the presence of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate as an additive. The as-synthesized products possess superparamagnetism, large cavity, high water solubility, and saturation magnetization at room temperature. In particular, these hollow microspheres exhibit both of a rather short separation time from industry wastewater and a high adsorption capacity about 180 mg/g at high Cr(VI) concentrations, which is much better than those of reported magnetite solid nanoparticles. In addition, the X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) show that the uptake of Cr(VI) into the spheres was mainly governed by a physicochemical process. The micelle-assisted Ostwald ripening process was proposed to explain the rapid formation of hollow structures by a series of control experiments. The as-manufactured products with the two advantages mentioned above serve as ideal candidates for environmental remediation materials.

A Magnetic Photocatalytic Composite Derived from Waste Rice Noodle and Red Mud.
Nanomaterials (Basel)
December 2024
College of Materials Science and Engineering, Guilin University of Technology, Guilin 541004, China.
This study is the first to convert two waste materials, waste rice noodles (WRN) and red mud (RM), into a low-cost, high-value magnetic photocatalytic composite. WRN was processed via a hydrothermal method to produce a solution containing carbon quantum dots (CQDs). Simultaneously, RM was dissolved in acid to form a Fe ion-rich solution, which was subsequently mixed with the CQDs solution and underwent hydrothermal treatment.

Implementation science can identify such barriers and offer potential solutions to speed up this process. Blood-based biomarkers (BBBMs) may enable scalable confirmation of amyloid pathology in the Alzheimer's disease (AD) care pathway with test performance similar to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) testing and positron emission tomography (PET), so-called confirmatory biomarkers as they can corroborate amyloid pathology with high certainty.

In this study, we investigated the relationship between vascular risk factors and microvascular physiology (i.e.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: White Matter Hyperintensities (WMH) appear on T2-weighted Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and are an important biomarker of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), cognitive decline, and stroke. However, manual delineation is laborious and bias-prone, while automated segmentation has proven challenging. With the recent conclusion of the MICCAI-Society WMH segmentation challenge, and our large clinical trials, "Risk Reduction for Alzheimer's Disease" (rrAD) and "Hypertension, Intracranial Pulsatility and Brain Amyloid-beta Clearance in older adults" (HIPAC), we investigated the differences in the total WMH volume segmented by various algorithms to ensure the extraction of accurate and meaningful image-derived phenotypes.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Sleep apnoea is gaining attention as a modifiable risk factor for neurodegenerative disorders, with recent cross-sectional studies observing associations with advanced brain ageing and increased white matter hyperintensity (WMH) burden. Building upon these findings, we investigate the effects of sleep apnoea on longitudinal changes in brain structural measures using lab-based polysomnography and 7-year follow-up MRI measurements from the general population-based Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP).
Method: Ordinary least square regression was used.
