Response surface modelling of Fenton pre-treatment of slaughterhouse sludge for enhanced anaerobic digestion.

Slaughterhouse sludge, a byproduct of meat processing, poses significant environmental risks if not properly treated, with potential impacts including water contamination and land pollution. Anaerobic digestion (AD) of this high-organic-content sludge offers a sustainable solution by facilitating biogas production, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and enabling resource recovery. However, the complex nature of sludge necessitates pretreatment to enhance its biodegradability.

A protocolised approach provides a favourable outcome in patients with severe pelvic trauma.

Background Pelvic fractures are often a result of injuries caused by a major force and lead to considerable morbidity and mortality. Despite advances in acute management protocols involving angioembolization as a prime intervention, mortality in complex pelvic fractures remains high. We analysed our experience with the outcomes of a pelvic trauma management protocol using surgical haemostatic techniques over 5 years.

Inferior vena cava injuries at a level I trauma center: six case reports.

Inferior vena cava (IVC) injuries are rare but deadly. Depending on the mechanism of injury, patient status, and type of injury, intervention may be surgical or endovascular. These injuries typically pose challenges in identification and treatment.

Clinicopathological association of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in uterine cervical carcinomas: A cross-sectional observational study.

Background: Programmed death ligand (PD-L1) binds to its receptor PD-1 on T-cells and inhibits the immune response of T-lymphocytes. Cancer cells evade immune surveillance by upregulating PD-L1 expression, leading to tumor progression. Anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy has emerged as a new treatment modality in various solid carcinomas.
