Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital condition characterized by mirror image transposition of thoracic and abdominal organs. The coexistence of SIT and abdominal aortic aneurysm presents unique anatomical and surgical challenges. We reported a case of a 60-year-old male with SIT and a history of endovascular aneurysm repair who developed multiple endoleaks (T1bEL, T2EL, and T3EL). A hybrid procedure combining open surgical repair and endovascular techniques was successfully employed to address the complex endoleaks (ELs). The procedure included ligation of collateral vessels, stent-graft extension, and preservation of the right internal iliac artery using an artificial vessel. This case highlights the feasibility of a hybrid approach for managing ELs in patients with SIT and underscores the importance of tailored surgical strategies.

Biomimetic Self-Oxygenated Immunoliposome for Cancer-Targeted Photodynamic Immunotherapy.

Objective: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising strategy with significant clinical application potential for tumor treatment. However, the tumor hypoxia and limited efficacy against tumor metastasis present significant limitations in the clinical application of PDT. To alleviate tumor hypoxia for PDT against tumor growth and metastasis, we developed a self-oxygenated immunoliposome by encapsulating the catalase (CAT) within the liposome cavity and loading the photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) and immunoadjuvant MPLA in the lipid bilayer of the immunoliposome (CAT@LP-Ce6-A).

A numerical attempt has been initiated to analyze an unsteady pulsatile blood flow of ternary nanoparticles (, , and ) in a two-dimensional model through tapered arterial stenosis when a magnetic field is present. The most significant motivations for treating tri-hybrid nanoparticles as nanomaterials is their exceptional antimicrobial and biocompatible properties, which enhance thermal conductivity and facilitate nano-drug delivery. The semi-analytical approach used in this model involves solving the governing Navier-Stokes equations.

The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and its extensive use in many regions, such as smart homes, healthcare, and vehicles, have made IoT security increasingly critical. Ransomware is an advanced and adjustable threat influencing users globally, limiting admittance to their data or systems over models like file encryption or screen locking. Traditional ransomware detection methods frequently drop, deprived of the ability to combat these threats successfully.

Innovative hybrid approach for enhanced PFAS degradation and removal: Integrating membrane distillation, cathodic electro-Fenton, and anodic oxidation.

J Environ Manage

Department of Mechanical Engineering, 10-241, Donadeo Innovation Center for Engineering, Advanced Water Research Lab (AWRL), University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, T6G 1H9, Canada. Electronic address:

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants that pose significant toxicity risks to humans and ecosystems. Traditional advanced oxidation processes using boron-doped diamond (BDD) anodes degrade PFAS in wastewater effectively but suffer from slow kinetics and high energy costs, limiting commercial application. This study introduces a hybrid process combining cathodic electro-Fenton (EF), anodic oxidation via a BDD anode, and membrane distillation (MD) to improve perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) degradation efficiency and reduce energy use.
