Of 1,811 individuals sampled in a metropolitan community, 382 reported having a musculoskeletal complaint. Eighty-four percent of them had used an unconventional remedy within the previous 6 months. Most individuals used inexpensive, unharmful remedies such as exercise, prayer, and relaxation. This study indicates that people with musculoskeletal disorders often use unconventional remedies, but raises questions regarding the seriousness of this problem.

The fabrication of dual-quantum dot heterostructures offers a promising strategy to enhance the environmental remediation performance of photocatalysts. Herein, a BiWO-based Z-scheme heterojunction was constructed by incorporating carbonized polymer dots (CPDs) and CdS quantum dots (QDs) via a microwave-assisted solvothermal method. The 1 wt% CPDs/CdS QDs/BiWO (CCBW-1) composite achieved optimal Cr(VI) removal, reaching 97.

Mineral precipitation is ubiquitous in natural and engineered environments, such as carbon mineralization, contaminant remediation, and oil recovery in unconventional reservoirs. The precipitation process continuously alters the medium permeability, thereby influencing fluid transport and subsequent reaction kinetics. The diversity of preferential precipitation zones controls flow and transport efficiency as well as the capacity of mineral sequestration and immobilization.

Article Synopsis
- The rearrangement of surface atoms in oxide nanocrystals, specifically tungsten trioxide, significantly enhances their physical and chemical properties.
- Direct investigation using a scanning transmission electron microscope reveals that the surface atoms form a (1 × 2) structure and that density functional theory (DFT) calculations support these findings.
- The study also uncovers that surface reconstruction leads to a shift in the Fermi level towards the conduction band, akin to n-type doping, and may offer a novel approach to repair sub-nanometer cracks in tungsten trioxide.

Article Synopsis
- Canadian Arctic summer sea ice is declining significantly due to global warming, which is opening up the Northwest Passage as a new shipping route, increasing the risk of oil spills and environmental damage.
- Research focuses on evaluating bioremediation techniques for cleaning hydrocarbon contamination in Arctic beach sediments, involving 32- and 92-day experiments that analyzed the impacts of nutrient additions and a surface washing agent on microbial communities.
- Findings indicate that while nutrients show limited benefits for biodegradation, a surface washing agent emerges as a promising approach, highlighting the potential of unconventional microorganisms in effectively degrading hydrocarbons.
