Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is one of the most fungicides and pesticides used in wood protection. Poisoning from PCP may be happened in dermal absorption, and respiration or ingestion. With regard to health and environmental effects of PCP, many methods were studied for its removal. Microwave assisted other methods are environmental friendly, safety, and economical method, therefore, in this study; a modified domestic microwave assisted hydrogen peroxide (MW/H2O2) and sodium persulfate (MW/SPS) was used for PCP removal from aqueous solutions. PCP removal rate was measured under different factors such as pH, energy intensity, SPS, H2O2 concentration, Tert- butyl alcohol (TBA) and chemical oxygen demand (COD). The concentration changes of PCP were determined using spectrophotometer and HPLC spectra, respectively. The best removal PCP rate obtained in condition of pH of 11, 0.02 mol L(-1) of SPS, 0.2 mol L(-1) of H2O2 and energy intensity of 600 W. Moreover, COD removals in MW/H2O2 and MW/SPS process were 83% and 94%, respectively, also TBA test decreased 15% and 3% of PCP removal in MW/SPS and MW/H2O2 processes respectively. Experimental results indicated that sulfate radical was stronger than hydroxyl radical and examinations order reaction was in first order. In this study, was cleared that MW/SPS process was more effective than MW/H2O2 process in PCP removal.

2D and 3D porous coordination networks (PCNs) as exemplified by metal-organic frameworks, MOFs, have garnered interest for their potential utility as sorbents for molecular separations and storage. The inherent modularity of PCNs has enabled the development of crystal engineering strategies for systematic fine-tuning of pore size and chemistry in families of related PCNs. The same cannot be said about one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymers, CPs, which are understudied with respect to porosity.

Introduction: Several studies have documented that higher rates of primary care physicians are associated with lower rates of preventable hospitalizations. Counties with higher rates of preventable hospitalizations are found in the Appalachian and Mississippi (MS) Delta Regions.
Purpose: (1) To determine if the association of primary care capacity with preventable hospitalizations is different in the Appalachian and MS Delta regions compared to the rest of the U.

Article Synopsis
- * Adsorption was the main PCP removal mechanism, showing high efficiency (86-104%) at various concentrations, while biodegradation produced toxic intermediates, with significant bacterial community impacts noted.
- * Indigenous inoculum from the Santos-São Vicente estuary and polyurethane foam were effective in enhancing both the adsorption process and the overall PCP removal, without inhibiting microbial activity.
Can Environmental Enrichment Modulate Epigenetic Processes in the Central Nervous System Under Adverse Environmental Conditions? A Systematic Review.

Article Synopsis
- - The paper reviews how enriched environments (EE) influence epigenetic changes in the brain under stressful conditions through an analysis of 14 relevant studies from databases like PubMed and Scopus.
- - Findings indicate that after EE exposure, there are notable changes in microRNA expression and histone modifications, particularly in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, which affect brain plasticity and potentially improve behavioral outcomes.
- - The study suggests that EE could serve as a simple, non-drug method to enhance brain health and mitigate symptoms associated with brain-affecting conditions.
Quality and access outcomes in 2 Veterans Health Administration facilities with fidelity to the comprehensive medication management framework.

Purpose: Utilization of clinical pharmacists providing comprehensive medication management (CMM) has been shown to improve the quadruple aim of healthcare. Lack of fidelity surrounding CMM practice standardization components has led to heterogeneity in interpretation of clinical pharmacist outcomes. We compared 2 Veterans Health Administration (VHA) facilities with the patient-aligned care team (PACT) Platinum Practice designation in terms of clinical pharmacist practitioner (CPP) access and care quality relative to national CPP averages.
