3D-Printed Fe-Ni Porous Framework Structures for Efficient and Recyclable Degradation of Azo Dyes in Wastewater.
Chemphyschem
September 2025
Advanced oxidation processes offer a potent, eco-friendly solution for degrading organic wastewater. Creating high-activity and stability catalysts is crucial to addressing water pollution concerns. Nevertheless, due to constraints in their preparation, prevalent catalysts often lack satisfactory cyclic stability and pose challenges in recovery.

While didactic and experiential learning enhance QIPS knowledge and skills, there are limited experiential opportunities. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a longitudinal didactic and experiential student-led programme, Quality Improvement Experiential Student Training (QuEST).

World J Gastrointest Oncol
May 2025
Background: Submucosal tumors (SMTs) are rare conditions frequently encountered in clinical endoscopic practice. With advancements in endoscopic technology over the past decade, endoscopic management of SMTs has emerged as a significant research area.
Aim: To examine developments in this field, compare contributions from different countries, institutions, and authors, and identify potential research hotspots.
A systematic review and meta-analysis on the impact of institutional peer review in radiation oncology.
Radiother Oncol
January 2025
Article Synopsis
- Radiotherapy peer review is essential for ensuring quality in treatment planning, though its effects have been unclear.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis of 55 studies found that peer review led to change recommendations in 28% of cases, with 12% being major changes requiring significant adjustments.
- The most common issues prompting changes included target volume delineation and dose prescriptions, suggesting that implementing early peer review could enhance patient safety across all treatment methods.
Article Synopsis
- Quality improvement (QI) efforts are essential in addressing healthcare disparities and promoting health equity, particularly through equity-focused QI (EF-QI) interventions tailored to the needs of marginalized groups.
- A scoping review analyzed 5,330 titles, ultimately identifying 36 relevant articles that highlighted various barriers faced by EF-QI interventions, including provider and institutional challenges, with a significant focus on racialized communities.
- Engaging patient partners and hospital leadership in the design process is crucial, as sustainability emerges as a significant theme affecting the effectiveness and future of EF-QI interventions.
PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors in cold colorectal cancer: challenges and strategies.
Cancer Immunol Immunother
December 2023
Article Synopsis
- Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer deaths, with a majority being proficient in mismatch repair (pMMR) and microsatellite stable (MSS), which show little response to PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).
- Current research is exploring combination treatments, such as dual ICIs and various therapies (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and others), to enhance the effectiveness of PD-L1/PD-1 inhibitors in MSS CRC patients.
- The paper aims to examine the causes of resistance to PD-1/PD-L1 ICIs in pMMR/MSS CRC, review existing combination therapy results, and suggest future research directions.
Article Synopsis
- Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is a serious condition in newborns with high rates of morbidity and limited treatment options, leading researchers to study it in neonatal rats.
- The study used a specific rat model to compare effects of hypoxic-ischemic reperfusion brain injury versus simple hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, revealing that mitochondrial proteins and signs of ferroptosis were prevalent in the reperfusion model.
- Results indicated that reperfusion worsens brain injury while also triggering protective responses related to ferroptosis, suggesting new directions for treatment and understanding of the condition in neonates.
Article Synopsis
- Two types of lightweight porous concrete were developed: expanded polystyrene concrete (EPSC) and ceramics-cement based porous material (CCPM), both derived from C60 concrete.
- Dynamic mechanical experiments were conducted using a 100 mm split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) to analyze the strength, deformation, and impact properties of these materials under varying strain rates.
- Results indicate that both materials exhibit strain rate sensitivity, with CCPM outperforming EPSC in strength and toughness, suggesting better potential for use in civil defense applications.
