You know how sometimes wastewater has too much nitrogen but not enough oxygen-demanding stuff? That's a problem! One way we deal with this is using biological contact oxidation reactors (BCOR). These reactors use certain microorganisms to help remove the nitrogen. In this story, scientists found tha
Leishmaniasis, a significant but neglected disease in tropical regions, urgently needs improved treatments. Over the past year, researchers have been active in developing new tests and strategies to find better medicines. The current treatments are limited, making it challenging for doctors to treat
After breast cancer treatment, many women think their life goes back to normal. But a hidden condition, called lymphedema, can appear out of nowhere. Researchers kept an eye on 101 women for a year. Every three months, they measured the women's arms with simple tools like a tape measure and a perome
Reaching out to young gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) has always been a challenge for researchers. This group, often labeled as "hard-to-reach, " can be effectively tapped into through the internet, given its widespread use among them and young adults in general. Internet re
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have been making some big claims about taking over the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). But hold on a second, says a conservative writer. They think it's all just a show. Dace Potas, the head of Lone Conservative, a big conservative student publication in Am
Laryngeal chondrosarcoma, a rare and slow-growing cancer, comes in different forms. Three types—high-grade, dedifferentiated, and myxoid—are known for being more aggressive. They can spread and have worse outcomes. This review looks at how these tougher types are treated and how patients fare. It's
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a curious immune condition. It makes certain organs swell and not work properly. One big clue is that affected organs grow special lymphoid tissues, called TLTs. Inside these, special helper T cells (Tfh2) turn regular B cells into IgG4+ cells, which cause the swell
Industrial wastewater often contains harmful pollutants like p-chlorophenol (4-CP) and hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)). Scientists are looking for ways to clean up this mess and create energy at the same time. They've been experimenting with a type of plant called Leersia hexandra and a clever system c
Imagine turning waste plastic bottles into a powerful tool to clean up polluted water! That's what scientists did in a fascinating study. They took recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles and transformed them into something called expanded graphite (EG). This new material was tested using
Have you ever wondered if job stress could affect the chances of getting pregnant through in vitro fertilization (IVF)? Science has been exploring this question, and the results are interesting. While there are mixed findings on how general stress impacts fertility treatments, the role of workplace
