Synthetic organic dye such as methylene blue (MB) is non-biodegradable and highly toxic, released from textile wastewater. This work investigates the applicability of Ni@ZnO polymer nanocomposite for MB removal from the wastewater. To understand their differences before and after MB adsorption, composites' surface morphology was characterized by various techniques including scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transformation infrared (FT-IR) and UV-Vis spectrophotometer.

Purpose: The real-world effectiveness of switching from denosumab to romosozumab remains controversial. Sequential therapy with romosozumab was shown to be associated with inadequate suppression of bone resorption and there was anecdotal evidence of major osteoporotic fractures (MOFs) after transitioning from denosumab to romosozumab. This study evaluated the effects on bone resorption of early romosozumab administration 3 months after denosumab withdrawal in fractured women with post-menopausal osteoporosis.

Labour commencement diagnosis is still challenging in obstetrics. The majority of scientific techniques that were used to determine labour are costly and require a professional healthcare personnel to be carried out. Hence, in this work, an experiment was conducted using a 3D-printed 50% scale model of the abdomen of an average 40-week pregnant woman.

Background: Sarcopenia is a common condition in the elderly, especially in diabetics (DM). Metformin (MTF), known to reduce glucose levels, can also be a therapeutic intervention in age-related diseases, although it may contribute to muscle loss.
Objectives: To compare the prevalence of sarcopenia among elderly people treated for DM, with or without MTF, and non-diabetic patients (NDM) and evaluate whether there is an association between the use of MTF and the development of sarcopenia.

Approximately 1% of all live births in the USA are affected by congenital heart disease (CHD), the leading cause of congenital defect-related illness and infant death. Although technological innovations have improved CHD diagnosis in utero, variation among fetal cardiac counseling practices persists. Our study aims to evaluate physician counseling content based on cardiac defect complexity.
