Contamination of drinking water by arsenic and fluoride is a global problem, as more than 300 million people in 100 countries have been affected their presence. These elements are considered the most serious contaminants removal worldwide concern. Therefore, evaluation three alternative approaches—electrocoagulation, adsorption biomaterials, metal oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs)—was perform...

The wastewater used in this study was obtained from a treatment plant where it mixed with wastewater of 142 industries and was treated using electrocoagulation with iron electrode and phytoremediation with Myriophyllum aquaticum, likewise certain biomarkers of oxidative stress of the plant were evaluated to find out its resistance to contaminant exposure. Electrocoagulation was performed under ...

Electrocoagulation (EC) was used for the removal of anthraquinone dye, Alizarin Red S (ARS) from aqueous solution. The process was carried out in a batch electrochemical cell with Al electrodes in a monopolar connection. The effects of some important parameters such as current density, pH, temperature and initial dye concentration, on the process were investigated. Equilibrium was attained afte...

UNLABELLED Ingrowing nail also known as onychocryptosis is a common health problem. This disease mostly affects young people, often carrying a considerable amount of socio-economic implications. It's foot problem that usually manifests as inflammation of tissue along the side of a toenail. The aim of the study was to asses and to compare effectiveness of electrocautery and phenol application in...

OBJECTIVE To compare the long term impact on ovarian reserve between laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy with bipolar electrocoagulation and laparotomic cystectomy with suturing for ovarian endometrotic cyst. PATIENT AND METHOD(S) 121 patients with benign ovarian endometroitic cysts were randomised to either laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy using bipolar electrocoagulation (61 patients) or laparot...

We previously developed a water immersion (“underwater”) technique for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) to reduce adverse events [1,2]. We herein present a novel method of gel immersion ESD with the advantages of underwater ESD. We used a gel-type oral rehydration solution (OS-1 Jelly; Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory, Tokushima, Japan) with balanced electrolytes and carbohydrates. Bipolar e...

Parietal podocytes are fully differentiated podocytes lining Bowman's capsule where normally only parietal epithelial cells (PECs) are found. Parietal podocytes form throughout life and are regularly observed in human biopsies, particularly in atubular glomeruli of diseased kidneys; however, the origin of parietal podocytes is unresolved. To assess the capacity of PECs to transdifferentiate int...
