Target sign in COVID-19, radiological interpretation and diagnostic contribution of digital thoracic tomosynthesis
CONCLUSIONS: TS in COVID-19 predominates in peripheral and declining regions and can be multiple. Pulmonary thromboembolism was detected in one case. It occurs in young people, frequently with pleuritic pain and does not worsen the prognosis. DTT detects more than 80 % of TS than radiography.PMID:38642959 | DOI:10.1016/j.rxeng.2023.07.005 (Source: Radiologia)

Ghostbuster: A phase retrieval diffraction tomography algorithm for cryo-EM
Ultramicroscopy. 2024 Apr 12;262:113962. doi: 10.1016/j.ultramic.2024.113962. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEwald sphere curvature correction, which extends beyond the projection approximation, stretches the shallow depth of field in cryo-EM reconstructions of thick particles. Here we show that even for previously assumed thin particles, reconstruction artifacts which we refer to as ghosts can appear. By retrieving the lost phases of the electron exitwaves and accounting for the first Born approximation scattering within the particle, we show that these ghosts can be effectively eliminated. Our simulations demonstrate how ...

The associations of physical parameters with the Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test, the Upper Quarter Y Balance Test, and the Upper Limb Rotation Test in professional overhead athletes
CONCLUSIONS: Many of the physical parameters influencing scores on the CKCUEST and the YBT-UQ are different. Common parameters influence the CKCUEST and ULRT scores, yet more parameters influence the CKCUEST score. We suggest the combined use of the CKCUEST and the YBT-UQ in overhead athletes.PMID:38642438 | DOI:10.1016/j.ptsp.2024.03.001 (Source: Health Physics)

What are the global patterns of microplastic ingestion by fish? a scientometric review
Environ Pollut. 2024 Apr 18:123972. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123972. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe billions of tons of plastic released into the environment mostly fragment into smaller particles that reach rivers and oceans, posing toxicity risks to aquatic organisms. As fish serve as excellent environmental indicator organisms, this study aims to comprehensively review and quantify published data regarding the abundance of microplastics (MPs) ingested by fish through scientometric analysis. Systematic analysis reveals that global aquatic ecosystems are contaminated by MPs, with the characteristics of these contamin...

Remediation of Pharmacophoric Laboratory Waste by using Biodegradable Carbon Nanoparticles of Bacterial Biofilm Origin
In this study, extracellular polymeric substance-based carbon nanoparticles (Bio-EPS-CNPs) were synthesized from bacterial biofilm derived from Bacillus subtilis NCIB 3610, as a model bacterial system. The produced Bio-EPS-CNPs were investigated for physiochemical properties by dynamic light scattering, optical, Fourier-transformed infrared, and Raman spectroscopy techniques, whereas X-ray diffraction study, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy were used to investigate structural and morphological features. The Bio-EPS-CNPs exhibited negative surface charge with spherical morphology having a u...

Harnessing carboxymethyl cellulose and Moringa oleifera seed husks for sustainable treatment of a multi-metal real waste
This study aimed to evaluate effective treatment strategies for laboratory waste with an initial pH of 1.0, containing Cr6+, Mn2+, Co2+, Fe3+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Sr2+, Hg2+, and Pb2+ ions, focusing on flocculation, precipitation, and adsorption techniques. The study utilized microparticles derived from Moringa oleifera seed husks (MS), cryogels of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and hybrid cryogels combining CMC and MS (CMC-MS25 and CMC-MS50) as adsorbents. The optimal strategy involved raising the pH to 7 using NH4OH, leading to the partial precipitation of metal ions. The remaining supernatant was then passed through colum...
