Impregnating CuCl on AC (activated coke) support to synthesize xCuCl/AC showed superior activity with higher 90% Hg removal efficiency at 80-140 °C, as well as a lower oxygen demand of 2% O for Hg removal. The acceleration on Hg removal was observed for NO and SO. The BET, SEM, XRD, XPS, TPD, and FT-IR characterizations revealed that the larger surface area, sufficient active oxygen species and co-existence of Cu and Cu may account for the efficient Hg removal. In addition, the low demand of gaseous O was contributed to higher content of active oxygen and formed active Cl. After adsorbing on Cu sites, Cl sites, and surface functional groups, the Hg removal on xCuCl/AC was proceeded through two ways. Part of Hg was oxidized by active O and formed Hg, and the other part of Hg combined with the active Cl, which was formed by the activation of lattice Cl with the aid of active O, and formed HgCl. Besides, the Hg detected in outlet gas through mercury speciation conversion and desorption peak of HgCl and Hg further proved it. As displayed in stability test and simulated industrial application test, CuCl/AC has a promising industrial application prospect.

Background: In this study, we prepared a porous gradient scaffold with hydroxyapatite microtubules (HAMT) and chitosan (CHS) and investigated osteogenesis induced by these scaffolds.
Methods: The arrangement of wax balls in the mold can control the size and distribution of the pores of the scaffold, and form an interconnected gradient pore structure. The scaffolds were systematically evaluated and for biocompatibility, biological activity, and regulatory mechanisms.

Background: Hallux valgus (HV) is a complex, multiplanar deformity. In this study, we examined the interrelationships between various components of this deformity using weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT). We hypothesized that the severity of traditional axial plane deformities would correlate with malpositioning of the metatarsosesamoid complex, first-ray coronal rotational deformity, and malalignment of the hindfoot and midfoot.

Despite extensive experience with influenza surveillance in humans in Senegal, there is limited knowledge about the actual situation and genetic diversity of avian influenza viruses (AIVs) circulating in the country, hindering control measures and pandemic risk assessment. Therefore, as part of the "One Health" approach to influenza surveillance, we conducted active AIV surveillance in two live bird markets (LBMs) in Dakar to better understand the dynamics and diversity of influenza viruses in Senegal, obtain genetic profiles of circulating AIVs, and assess the risk of emergence of novel strains and their transmission to humans. Cloacal swabs from poultry and environmental samples collected weekly from the two LBMs were screened by RT-qPCR for H5, H7, and H9 AIVs.

This study investigates the preparation of coamorphous systems composed entirely of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), namely praziquantel, niclosamide, and mebendazole. The objective was to formulate and characterize binary and ternary coamorphous systems to evaluate their structural, thermal, and stability properties. Ten different mixtures (binary and ternary) were designed through a mixture design approach and prepared using a sustainable, one-step neat grinding process in a lab-scale vibrational mill.
