Replacement of disposable by reusable care materiel is a mandatory question in sustainability management in nephrology. Recommandations have already been edited for individual protection in the operating room and the DGOS (Direction générale de l’offre de soins) will soon launch an experimentation in the reuse of some catheters and endoscopes. The literature is unanimous on the advantage, in the fields studied, of reuse over disposable material regarding green house gaz emissions. However, this advantage can be lost when considering water consumption that partly results from washing and sterilization activities. Our article aims to encourage nephrologists to start applying some measures in their clinical practice and be aware of the coming innovations.

Obtaining controllable active layer morphology plays a significant role in boosting the device performance of organic solar cells (OSCs). Herein, a quaternary strategy, which incorporates polymer donor D18-Cl and small molecule acceptor AITC into the host D18:N3, is employed to precisely modulate crystallization kinetics for favorable morphology evolution within the active layer. In situ spectroscopic measurements during film-formation demonstrate that while D18-Cl works as a nucleator to promote aggregation of D18 and foster donor/acceptor intermixing, AITC has exactly the opposite impact on aggregation of N3 and intermixing kinetics of donor and acceptor, working as a plasticizer.

Background and aim The natural progression of liver fibrosis and its association with biomarker changes have not been fully established in the literature. This study aimed to investigate liver fibrosis progression in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection using a novel machine learning tool called 'Subtype and Stage Inference (SuStaIn).' SuStaIn can identify disease progression patterns and subgroups from cross-sectional biomarker data.

The design of cost-effective and efficient catalysts based on transition metal-based electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is crucial yet challenging for energy-conversion devices like metal-air batteries. In this work, we present a cost-effective strategy for preparing catalysts consisting of single-atomic Fe sites and Fe3C clusters encapsulated in nitrogen-doped carbon layers (FeSA-Fe3C/NC). The FeSA-Fe3C/NC electrocatalyst demonstrates outstanding ORR performance in alkaline electrolytes, achieving a high half-wave potential (E1/2 = 0.

Background: Pulmonary infection is a common clinical complication in children with congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM). Surgical intervention has been proven effective in managing this condition. We aim to evaluate the impact of pulmonary infection on the outcomes of total thoracoscopic procedures in children with CPAM.
