A Review on Innovative Biotechnological Approaches for the Upcycling of Citrus Fruit Waste to Obtain Value-Added Bioproducts.

The cultivation of citrus fruits has increased significantly around the globe due to rising consumer demand. The citrus fruit processing industry produces approx. 110 to 120 million tonnes of citrus fruit waste worldwide every year.

Green Synthesis of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Treating Coffee Cherry Pulping Wastewater: Environmental Implications.

The disposal of coffee cherry pulping wastewater (CPWW) poses severe environmental risks, including water body eutrophication, soil acidification, and toxicity to aquatic life due to its high organic load (COD: 29,450 mg/L; BOD5: 16,500 mg/L), acidic pH (4.8), and elevated solids (TDS: 3240 mg/L; TSS: 4540 mg/L). To address this, we synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles from Ricinus communis L.

Pre-Operative Assessment of Anatomical Position of Inferior Alveolar Nerve Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography During Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy Surgery.

Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the pre-operative assessment of the anatomical position of the inferior alveolar nerve using computed tomography during bilateral sagittal split osteotomy surgery.

Materials And Methods: The inferior alveolar nerve was delineated on a pre-operative CBCT scan from the position of the lingual first visible to the mental foramen on both sides. The buccolingual and supero-inferior distances from the inferior alveolar nerve canal were measured bilaterally at four different locations.

Epidemiology of Buruli Ulcer in Victoria, Australia, 2017-2022.

Buruli ulcer (BU) is a rare, neglected tropical disease caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans that can lead to severe skin ulcers. To determine the epidemiology of BU in Victoria, Australia, during 2017-2022 we analyzed surveillance data. A total of 1,751 cases of BU were notified; 968 (55%) patients were male and 781 (45%) female (2 were missing sex data), and 984 (56%) resided in established BU-endemic areas, although an increasing number were in new BU-endemic areas.
