This study aimed to evaluate the nitrogen removal of a post-treatment system for natural rubber processing wastewater (NRPW) under low chemical oxygen demand to total nitrogen (COD/TN) ratios without any supplemental external carbon source. The system including a downflow hanging sponge (DHS) reactor and an upflow anaerobic reactor (UAR) was operated in two phases. In phase 1 (day 0-102), under a nitrogen loading rate (NLR) of 0.23 ± 0.06 kgN m d and COD/TN ratio of 0.63 ± 0.47, the DHS-UAR system removed 82.5 ± 11.8% and 83.9 ± 7.6% of TN and ammonium concentrations, respectively. In phase 2 (day 103-229), higher COD/TN ratio of 1.96 ± 0.28 was applied to remove increasing NLRs. At the highest NLR of 0.51 kgN m d, the system achieved TN and ammonium removal efficiencies of 93.2% and 93.7%, respectively. Nitrogen profiles and the 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing data suggested that ammonium, a major nitrogen compound in NRPW, was utilized by nitrifying and ammonium assimilation bacteria in DHS, then removed by heterotrophic denitrifying and anammox bacteria in the UAR. The predominance of detected in both reactors suggested its essential role for the nitrogen conversion.

This study aimed to enhance humification and cadmium (Cd) remediation in compost by investigating the effects of three post-treatments: ultrapure water, citric acid, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium (EDTA). The results revealed that the EDTA post-treatment significantly enhanced humification by facilitating an EDTA-Fenton-like system within compost comprising rice straw and river sediment to remediate Cd-contaminated sediment. EDTA post-treatment not only promoted humic substances and humic acid concentrations of up to 66.

Background: Facial contouring procedures are increasingly sought to address aesthetic concerns such as submental fat accumulation and lack of jawline definition. Cryolipolysis and hyaluronic acid (HA) injection have emerged as promising modalities for lower face contouring, targeting fat reduction and jawline enhancement, respectively.
Objective: This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of a combined treatment approach involving cryolipolysis followed by HA injection for addressing lower face contour concerns.

Background: Burnout is among the greatest challenges facing healthcare today. Healthcare providers have been found to experience burnout at significant rates, with COVID-19 exacerbating the challenge. Burnout in the healthcare setting has been associated with decreases in job satisfaction, productivity, professionalism, quality of care, and patient satisfaction, as well as increases in career choice regret, intent to leave, and patient safety incidents.
