The excessive use of antibiotics has led to various environmental problems; the control and separation of these antibiotics are important in environmental science. Herein, a novel mesoporous nanocomposite, FeO@SiO@mSiO-CD, has been synthesized for the removal of antibiotic compounds from aqueous media. The well-designed nanocomposite is composed of β-cyclodextrin functionalized surfaces, ordered mesoporous silica shells with large radially oriented mesopores, and nonporous silica-coated magnetic cores (FeO). The synergistic action of both the mesoporous structure and the accessible cavity of β-cyclodextrin ensures the good adsorption of doxycycline. Furthermore, the FeO@SiO@mSiO-CD nanocomposite can be collected, separated and easily recycled from aqueous solution using an external magnet.

Unlabelled: Microalgae treatment is regarded as a green and environmentally acceptable method of treating pig farm biogas slurry (BS). Numerous studies have been conducted on the use of microalgae to treat sterilized BS. Nevertheless, in large-scale application settings, this method will undoubtedly result in high costs and low efficiency.

Adults with short bowel syndrome (SBS), malabsorption, and malnutrition often require long-term parenteral nutrition (PN), typically as total PN (TPN). These patients are susceptible to bloodstream infections and sepsis. We present a case of a 63-year-old male patient who developed SBS following an acute mesenteric event.

Postoperative infections following orthopedic fixation can lead to devastating consequences, particularly in patients with comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus. We present a rare case of a 61-year-old female patient with a patella fracture treated with tension band wiring who developed a severe polymicrobial infection resulting in complete destruction of the patellar tendon. Multiple debridements, removal of implants, and prolonged targeted antibiotic therapy were necessary.

Rationale: Sepsis following hysteroscopy is an rare complication, with current evidence suggesting that routine prophylactic antibiotic administration may not be warranted. However, this does not imply that we should disregard vigilance regarding the potential occurrence of severe infections post-hysteroscopy.
Patient Concerns: A 27-year-old female underwent hysteroscopic resection of retained products of conception after incomplete medical abortion.

The activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) by biochar has shown promising potential for the efficient degradation and detoxification of antibiotics in wastewater. However, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, Fenton-conditioned sludge-derived biochar (FSBC) was prepared by microwave pyrolysis to activate PMS for the efficient degradation and detoxification of sulfamethoxazole (SMX).
