Anthropogenic activities have resulted in enormous increases in atmospheric CO concentrations particularly since the onset of the Industrial Revolution, which have potential links with increased global temperatures, rising sea levels, increased prevalence, and severity of natural disasters, among other consequences. To enable a carbon-neutral and sustainable society, various technologies have been developed for CO capture from industrial process streams as well as directly from air. Here, direct air capture (DAC) represents an essential need for reducing CO concentration in the atmosphere to mitigate the negative consequences of greenhouse effects, involving systems that can reversibly adsorb and release CO, in which polymers have played an integral role.

Xylazine, increasingly implicated in illicit opioid overdose deaths, poses a significant public health threat due to its synergistic effects with fentanyl and resistance to naloxone reversal. Despite its rising prevalence, xylazine is not classified as a controlled substance, leading to its exclusion from routine forensic screening. This study introduces a novel analytical method combining Raman hyperspectral imaging with Multivariate Curve Resolution-Alternating Least Squares (MCR-ALS) to detect xylazine in drug mixtures containing common excipients such as acetaminophen, dipyrone, and mannitol.

The rising rates of obesity worldwide have increased the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), making it the number one cause of death. Higher plasma bilirubin levels have been shown to prevent metabolic dysfunction and CVD. However, reducing levels leads to deleterious outcomes, possibly due to reduced bilirubin half-life that escalates the production of its catabolized product, urobilinogen, produced by gut bacteria and naturally oxidized to urobilin.
