Ischemic stroke is a devastating disease that represents the second leading cause of death worldwide [1]. As ischemic stroke in patients usually results from a thrombotic or embolic occlusion in a major cerebral artery, most often the middle cerebral artery (MCA), experimental focal cerebral ischemia models have been developed to mimic human stroke and serve as an indispensable tool in the stro...

Increasing dependency on pharmaceutical compounds including antibiotics, analgesics, antidepressants, and other drugs has threatened the environment as well human health. Their occurrence, transformation, fate in are causing significant concerns. Several existing treatment technologies there with their pros cons for of wastewater (PWW). Still, electrocoagulation is considered modern decisive te...

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of electrocoagulation technology using iron electrodes on phenol removal in aqueous solutions. The removal of phenol was investigated in terms of various parameters, namely, current density, phenol and NaCl concentration, pH, and alginic acid concentration. The results showed that the removal efficiency of phenol increased with increasing the cu...

Some representative quinones, viz. one naphthoquinone (plumbagin) and five anthraquinones (alizarin, purpurin, chrysazin, emodin, and anthrarufin), were subjected to electrocoagulation. It was found that the rate and extent of coagulation of these compounds appears to correlate with the number and relative position of their phenolic substituent groups, and that all of the coagulated quinones co...

PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of an embolotherapeutic technique that uses electrolytically detachable platinum coils and radio frequency (RF) energy to achieve rapid and distal occlusion of targeted vessels. METHODS In swine, branches of the ascending cervical artery and the hepatic artery measuring 1.5 mm or less were subjected to endovascular electrocoagulation. RF energy was ...

Palm oil mill effluent from the palm oil processing industry has been documented as a cause of severe damages to aquatic systems and a significant increase in greenhouse gases. This study was designed to use electrocoagulation for the pre-treatment of palm oil mill effluent to simultaneously reduce the pollutants and produce hydrogen gas. In this research, response surface methodology was appli...

We present 2 cases in which, when faced with suspicion of catamenial hemopneumothorax or pneumothorax, video-assisted thoracoscopy was used for identification, biopsy, and electrocoagulation of the tissue sites where pleural endometriosis was suspected.

background & aims of the study: detergent and phosphate are one of the main and vital threats (eutrophication phenomenon and production of synthetic foam) for the source of drinking water, agriculture and industrial uses in the ahvaz, iran that threaten human health. the aim of this study is the evaluation of the efficiency of the electrocoagulation (ec) process in the removal of detergent and ...

Natural organic matter (NOM) affects some qualitative parameters of water such as color. In addition, it can deteriorate the performance of water treatment process including coagulation, adsorption, and membranes. NOM also reacts with chlorine in the chlorination process and may form disinfection by-products. The present study was carried out in laboratory-scale in a batch system using a cylind...

Abstract This experimental study concerns the elimination of fluoride from water using an electrocoagulation reactor having a variable flow direction in favour increasing electrolysing time, saving area, and mixing. The detention time space-saver EC (S-SECR) was measured compared to traditional reactors inert dye (red drain dye). Then, influence electrical current (1.5 ≤ δ 3.5 mA cm−2), pH (4 1...
