Aim: To analyze long-term outcomes of Graves' disease management.

Material And Methods: There were 428 patients for the periods 2000-2004 and 2005-2010. Patients were called for examination and thyroid status control. 2 groups were compared: group 1 of 203 patients and group 2 of 225 patients.

Results: It was found that after subtotal resection by original technique (patent 1802309 of the Russian Federation, MPK 5 G01N1, 1/28) in group 1 euthyroid state was observed in more than half (59.4%) of patients, hypothyroidism - 30.3% and recurrence - in 10.3% 10 years postoperatively. At the same time most of patients of group 2 (71.6%) after predominant thyroidectomy had hypothyroidism, euthyroid state was only in 24%. Postoperative recurrent diffuse toxic goiter incidence was 4.7%.

Conclusion: The dynamics of postoperative thyroid status depending on type of surgery and follow-up was presented.

The advancement of rapid-response grid energy storage systems and the widespread adoption of electric vehicles are significantly hindered by the charging times and energy densities associated with current lithium-ion battery technology. In state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries, graphite is employed as the standard negative electrode material. However, graphite suffers from polarization and deteriorating side-reactions at the high currents needed for fast charging.

Impact of sediment resuspension on near-bottom mercury dynamics: Insights from a Baltic Sea experiment.

J Hazard Mater

January 2025

Polish Academy of Sciences, Institute of Oceanology, Department of Marine Chemistry and Biochemistry, Powstańców Warszawy 55, Sopot 81-712, Poland.

Marine sediments are major sources of legacy pollution, capable of releasing toxic mercury (Hg) into the water column when disturbed. This study evaluated Hg remobilization from surface sediments during resuspension events by examining sediment properties, Hg concentrations, and speciation. Research was conducted in the southern Baltic Sea, representing diverse environmental conditions and human impacts.

This study presents an eco-friendly strategy by developing alginate based photocatalyst, where heterojunction photocatalyst is reinforced in calcium alginate via a facile method called ionotropic gelation. The prepared heterojunction photocatalyst (ZnO-g-CN) and alginate reinforced heterojunction photocatalyst (Alg/ZnO-g-CN) were characterized with Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectroscopy to confirm their structural, elemental and physicochemical properties. The photodegradation experiments demonstrated Alg/ZnO-g-CN showed excellent efficiency in the removal of methylene blue (MB) under both UV-vis light and natural sunlight irradiation.

Insight into migration of Cr(VI) in self-hardening slurry materials for trench cutoff wall.

Environ Res

January 2025

Zijin School of Geology and Mining, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350108, China; State Key Laboratory of Geomechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, Institute of Rock and Soil Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan 430071, China. Electronic address:

The migration and immobilization of heavy metals in soil and groundwater pose significant environmental challenges, particularly in the context of Cr(VI), a highly toxic and mobile contaminant. Self-hardening slurry materials, commonly used for trench cutoff walls, have gained great attention due to their potential for pollutant containment. However, the relationship between their adsorption properties and pollutant diffusion behaviors remains poorly understood.

Sulfides as environmental stressors in Paracas Bay, Peru.

Mar Pollut Bull

January 2025

Facultad de Pesquería, Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina, Av. La Molina S/N, La Molina, Lima 15024, Peru.

Paracas Bay, located in the Humboldt Current system, is a highly variable coastal environment where hypoxia (dissolved oxygen concentrations <2 mg L) has been reported as a persistent feature of bottom conditions. In addition to hypoxia, milky water events have been reported in the bay, most likely associated with the presence of sulfides (i.e.
