AI Article Synopsis

  • Methylene blue is being explored for its use in otolaryngology, particularly in guiding neopharynx closure after total laryngectomy.
  • This new technique may help lower the chances of developing pharyngocutaneous fistulas and hasn't been previously documented.
  • Methylene blue also aids junior surgeons in executing modified Connell sutures during neopharynx reconstruction and has other important applications in the field.

Article Abstract

Methylene blue has many usages in the field of otolaryngology. We describe a preliminary finding of methylene blue guided neopharynx closure after total laryngectomy. This technique can potentially reduce the risk of pharyngocutaneous fistula and has not been described in the literature. It is also handy in assisting junior surgeons to perform modified Connell suture during neopharynx reconstruction. Concurrently, we reviewed other essential applications of methylene blue in otolaryngology.

This research focuses on the development of a novel Ru-doped TiO/grapefruit peel biochar/FeO (Ru-TiO/PC/FeO) composite catalyst, which exhibits exceptional photocatalytic efficacy under simulated solar light irradiation. The catalyst is highly effective in the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB), methylene blue (MB), methyl orange (MO), as well as actual industrial dye wastewater (IDW), and can be recovered magnetically for multiple reuse cycles. Significantly, the PCTRF-100 sample exhibited degradation efficiencies of 99.

Organic contaminants from wastewater toxicity to the environment has increased during the last few decades and, therefore, there is an urgent need to decontaminate wastewater prior to disposal. This study aimed to create a high surface area catalytic activated carbon (AC) under same carbonization conditions for phenol and methylene blue (organic wastewater) decontamination. husk (MH), sesame husk (SH), and baobab husk (BH) were used to prepare activated carbon for the removal of methylene blue (MB) and phenol (Ph).

A series of anionic poly(acrylamide--sodium acrylate)/poly(ethylene glycol), PAN/PEG, hybrids were conveniently synthesized free radical aqueous polymerization by integrating bentonite, kaolin, mica, graphene and silica, following a simple and eco-friendly crosslinking methodology. A comparative perspective was presented on how integrated nanofillers affect the physicochemical properties of hybrid gels depending on the differences in their structures. Among the five types of nanofillers, bentonite-integrated hybrid gel had the highest water absorbency, while graphene-integrated gel had the lowest.
