A novel metal-free perylene-functionalized graphite adsorbent for efficient antibiotic removal from wastewater.
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int
December 2024
Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Sciences, Shahrekord University, P.O. Box 115, Shahrekord, Iran.
Adsorption remains a widely utilized and effective technique for removing chemical contaminants from polluted water, and novel adsorbents are currently in the process of being developed. The presence of antibiotics residues in aqueous effluents is a potential concern due to their potential adverse effects on living organisms. In this work, perylene tetracarboxylic acid-functionalized expanded graphite (PTCA-EG) was synthesized as a metal-free adsorbent and its potential for efficient treatment of contaminated wastewater with cefalexin (CLX) antibiotic was studied.

Article Synopsis
- Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune blistering disorder characterized by tense blisters and severe itching, often diagnosed through skin biopsies showing specific changes.
- This case report highlights an atypical BP presentation, where symptoms mimicked a herpes zoster infection before proper diagnosis led to the correct treatment with steroids and antibiotics.
- The report emphasizes the importance of recognizing BP in patients with widespread itching and skin lesions, to ensure timely and effective treatment.
Influence of cephalexin on cadmium adsorption onto microplastic particles in water: Human health risk evaluation.

September 2024
Systems Environmental Health and Energy Research Center, The Persian Gulf Biomedical Sciences Research Institute, Bushehr University of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, 7518759577, Iran.
This paper explores the impact of environmental factors on the adsorption of cadmium (Cd) and cephalexin (CEX) onto polyethylene (PE) microplastics. The study focused on Cd adsorption behavior on microplastics (MPs) of various sizes, revealing that particles sized 30-63 μm exhibited the highest adsorption capacity compared to other sizes. Cd sorption was significantly influenced by initial pH and salinity levels.

Division of Orbital and Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery, Department of Ophthalmology, University of California Los Angeles, United States.
Article Synopsis
- This report discusses a rare case of necrotizing fasciitis in a healthy 10-month-old infant, which is unusual due to the eye area's good blood supply.
- After a fall, the infant developed fever and eyelid swelling, initially treated as cellulitis, but her condition worsened quickly, indicating a more severe infection.
- Successful stabilization followed aggressive treatment, but extensive tissue damage necessitated orbital exenteration, highlighting the need for quick diagnosis and intervention in such cases.
