This work proposes the fabrication of a novel adsorbent based on agro-waste resources with functional adsorption properties to remove a recalcitrant pollutant, such as Nimesulide, from water effluents. An aerogel system, produced through supercritical carbon dioxide drying, was made of cactus powder and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide ionic liquid. The use of ionic liquid allowed to obtain a 3D porous structure showing a mean pore size of 0.12 μm. Its incorporation into cactus-based aerogel improved the adsorption capacity, allowing a drug removal of 88% compared to pristine aerogel, which showed a removal capacity of 15%. Different parameters such as temperature, contact time, pH, initial drug concentration, adsorbent dosage, and salt presence were changed, and their effects on the removal of Nimesulide were assessed. According to the Langmuir model, the maximum adsorption capacity is q = 109.9 mg/g, while the kinetic data obeyed the pseudo-second-order model. The reusability tests proved that the adsorbent can be reused for up to 10 cycles without significant adsorption performance loss.

Anaphylactic shock is a life-threatening medical emergency, and its successful approach depends on early recognition and treatment. We present a case report of a 54-year-old female, with the American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) Physical Status Classification III, admitted for cervical conization. She presented with known allergies to paracetamol, diclofenac, and nimesulide, and a history of nickel contact dermatitis, with no reports of complicated anesthesia.

Nimesulide is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug and a COX-2 inhibitor with antitumor and antiproliferative activities that induces apoptosis in oral, esophagus, breast, and pancreatic cancer cells. Despite being removed from the market due to hepatotoxicity, nimesulide is still an important research tool being used to develop new anticancer drugs. Multiple studies have been done to modify the nimesulide skeleton to develop more potent anticancer agents and related compounds are promising scaffolds for future development.

Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the effect of photobiomodulation with low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and nimesulide on inflammatory parameters, biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation, and quality of life after lower third molar (L3M) surgery.
Material And Methods: A randomized, two-factor, triple-blind, controlled, split-mouth clinical trial was performed with 40 volunteers who required bilateral L3M removal. Patients were allocated depending on the use or not of 100 mg nimesulide 1 hbefore surgery, as well as the use or not of LLLT in the preoperative period.

The lack of adequate treatment for the removal of pollutants from domestic, hospital and industrial effluents has caused great environmental concern. Therefore, there is a need to develop materials that have the capacity to treat these effluents. This work aims to develop and characterize an activated charcoal from olive pomace, which is an agro-industrial residue, for adsorption of Nimesulide in liquid effluent and to evaluate the adsorption kinetics and equilibrium using experimental design.
