Rational design of Pt-integrated SnNbO/BiMoO monolayer S-scheme heterojunction for efficient ethylene removal toward fresh produce preservation.

Effective removal of ethylene (CH) during fruit and vegetables storage and transport remains a critical challenge for post-harvest preservation. Although S-scheme heterojunctions can improve charge separation and redox capacity for ethylene degradation, their efficiency is still restricted by limited carrier transfer and sluggish oxygen activation. Here, we rationally designed a novel 2D/2D SnNbO/BiMoO monolayer S-scheme heterojunction integrated with Pt co-catalyst to address these limitations.

Comparison of Postoperative Wound Healing in Fistulectomy and Fistulectomy With Marsupialization in Patients With Low Fistula-in-Ano.

Introduction: Fistula-in-ano is a relatively common benign disease of the anorectal region, which may pose considerable complications in terms of surgery, as this disease has the propensity to recur and may be accompanied by postoperative wound healing. Surgical therapy can be considered the key in the management, and surgery involves fistulectomy or fistulotomy as a part of surgical treatment. Nevertheless, due to the fear of slow healing of the wound and acquiring infection because of common methods, some other methods have been explored, and some have been suggested to be defined as the process of marsupialization, which could allow decreasing the size of the open wound and stimulate its recovery quicker.

Cardiovascular Benefits of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) Receptor Agonists in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus With Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials.

This systematic review evaluates the cardiovascular effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, or heart failure (HF). A comprehensive literature search across four major databases identified eight eligible studies, including randomized controlled trials and prespecified or pooled post-hoc analyses. The findings demonstrate consistent cardiovascular benefits of GLP-1 RAs, particularly semaglutide and exenatide, with notable reductions in major adverse cardiovascular events, cardiovascular mortality, and HF-related outcomes.

The impact of microwave technology on fruit drying processes in food industry: a bibliometric and comprehensive review (2018-2024).

This study offers a comprehensive bibliometric analysis and review of microwave drying technology's impact on fruit quality preservation in the food industry from 2018 to se2024. Key contributions from leading researchers and institutions globally are highlighted, revealing the prominence of countries like Turkey, China, and India in advancing this field. The review demonstrates that microwave drying outperforms traditional methods such as hot air, sun, and freeze-drying in terms of efficiency, energy consumption, and preservation of nutritional and sensory qualities.
