Upcycling of nutrients from residual resources for producing microbial protein (MP) is an attractive method to valorize residues. In this study, we investigated bio-electrochemical methods to recover ammonia-N, for further production of MP. Reject water and digestate were used for ammonia-N recovery in microbial fuel cell (MFC) system. In one-stage process, ammonia-N recovery was 32 - 42% with 57 - 154 kJ/m waste stream of electricity generation. For further enhancing recovery efficiency, a two-stage process was developed, achieving efficiency of 53 - 61%. Subsequently, MP was grown with the extracted ammonia-N, and amino acid concentration was 421 and 272 mg/L under 25 °C and 35 °C, respectively. Similar essential amino acid content of MP (especially under 25 °C) with the one from fish demonstrated the attractiveness of upcycling residues to proteins. Based on simplified economic evaluation, the produced energy performed the potential to catch 1.63 - 6.54 €/m waste stream.

A Retrospective Analysis of the Impact of Electroconvulsive Therapy on Anxiety Symptoms in Patients With Treatment-Resistant Depression.
J ECT
January 2025
From the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA.
Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective treatment for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). There are limited data on the improvement of anxiety symptoms in patients receiving ECT for TRD.
Objective: The aim of the study was to examine the extent to which anxiety symptom severity improves, relative to improvements in depressive symptoms, in TRD patients receiving an acute course of ECT.
Evolutionary constrained genes associated with autism spectrum disorder across 2,054 nonhuman primate genomes.

Background: Significant progress has been made in elucidating the genetic underpinnings of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, there are still significant gaps in our understanding of the link between genomics, neurobiology and clinical phenotype in scientific discovery. New models are therefore needed to address these gaps.

Peatlands are key ecosystems for global climate regulation because they provide the most efficient carbon sink on the planet. Despite this, they have been widely degraded by various anthropogenic disturbances, causing imbalances in their ecological functioning. A more recent type of disturbance corresponds to the commercial extraction of Sphagnum mosses, which has been carried out in temperate peatlands distributed in Australasia and Patagonia.

Objective: Hysteroscopic myomectomy is widely regarded as safe and feasible, although achieving single-session results for larger myomas often requires alternative methods. This study introduces a novel approach: ultrasound-guided myoma extirpation using ring forceps combined with hysteroscopy.
Methods: This retrospective, single-center study includes patients who underwent ultrasound-guided myoma extirpation between 2016 and 2024.
Abiotic and Biotic Dissipation in Natural Attenuation of Phenanthrene and Benzo[a]pyrene: A Systematic Quantification Study in Contrasting Soils.

Natural attenuation represents a significant ecosystem function for mitigating the quantity and toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) through both abiotic and biotic dissipation processes. This study systematically investigated abiotic and biotic dissipation of phenanthrene (Phe) and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in four soils over 360 days, using CSIA to quantitatively analyze δ³C changes and demonstrate biodegradation. The results indicated that extractable Phe was primarily attenuated via biodegradation (65% - 81%), as revealed by CSIA, with the δ³C changes ranging from 2.
