In this study, an iron oxyhydroxide nanocomposite with magnetic properties has been successfully synthesized. The quantification of the phases determined by Rietveld refinement has shown the presence of 74% of -FeOOH (akaganeite) and 26% of Fe₃O₄ (magnetite). TEM images show aggregates of around 5-15 nm Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles with cubic morphology and -FeOOH somatoids and nanorods with length and width of 100-200 nm and 10-50 nm, respectively. The estimated maximum adsorption capacities for As(III) and As(V) at pH 5 are similar (9 ± 1 and 8.1 ± 0.8 mg/g, respectively), suggesting the elimination of the oxidation step usually used in As(III) removal by precipitation. In low concentrations, the removal is efficient indicating that the magnetic composite shows potential for use in the removal of trace concentrations. Therefore, the magnetic nanocomposite shows potential for use in the removal of arsenic in aqueous media, eliminating the filtration step by applying a magnetic field.

More micrometastases, more recurrence? The role of qPCR of PSA mRNA in lymph nodes during prostatectomy.

Background And Objectives: Radical prostatectomy is a standard treatment for prostate cancer, yet about 30% of patients experience rising biochemical markers within a decade post-surgery. Pelvic lymph node sampling during prostatectomy assesses potential lymph node metastases, but standard histological assessments, which typically examine only 2-3 tissue sections, often miss occult metastases. This study assesses the effectiveness of qPCR in detecting PSA coding KLK3 mRNA for identifying lymph node metastases post-prostatectomy and explores the correlation between PSA-mRNA and biochemical recurrence.

Background: Mismatch between osteochondral allograft (OCA) donor and recipient sex has been shown to negatively affect outcomes. This study accounts for additional donor variables and clinically relevant outcomes.
Purpose: To evaluate whether donor sex, age, donor-recipient sex mismatch, and duration of graft storage affect clinical outcomes and failure rates after knee OCA transplantation.

Including sensor information in medical interventions aims to support surgeons to decide on subsequent action steps by characterizing tissue intraoperatively. With bladder cancer, an important issue is tumor recurrence because of failure to remove the entire tumor. Impedance measurements can help to classify bladder tissue and give the surgeons an indication on how much tissue to remove.

Prostate cancer is a disease which poses an interesting clinical question: Should it be treated? Only a small subset of prostate cancers are aggressive and require removal and treatment to prevent metastatic spread. However, conventional diagnostics remain challenged to risk-stratify such patients; hence, new methods of approach to biomolecularly sub-classify the disease are needed. Here we use an unsupervised self-organising map approach to analyse live-cell Raman spectroscopy data obtained from prostate cell-lines; our aim is to exemplify this method to sub-stratify, at the single-cell-level, the cancer disease state using high-dimensional datasets with minimal preprocessing.

For the purpose of this study, four natural rock samples-namely, diorite, granodiorite, tonalite, and granite-are being investigated about their radiation attenuation. The elemental composition of the rocks was obtained through Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) which examines the microstructural and localized area elemental analyses of the four rock samples. A Monte Carlo simulation (MCNP) was used to determine and evaluate the investigated samples.
