Combined effect of increasing the post‐reformer temperature and adding red mud as a secondary catalyst in the thermocatalytic reforming of digestate

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This work studies the combined effect of increasing the post‐reformer temperature and introducing red mud as a support catalyst in the thermocatalytic reforming (TCR®) of digestate. The TCR® method, developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology UMSICHT (abbreviated as Fraunhofer UMSICHT), is an extension

Seroprevalence and detection of Human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) among healthy blood donors residing in Qatar

Journal of Infection and Public Health
Background: Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is a critical causative agent behind Kaposi sarcoma (KS), an oncogenic disease with profound consequences in immunocompromised individuals. Studies suggested HHV-8 seroprevalence in healthy populations is uncommon,

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Human Herpes Virus Type 8 (HHV-8), Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1), and Syphilis among Female Sex Workers in Malindi, Kenya

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, 2019
The prevalence of Human Herpes Virus type 8 (HHV-8), Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and syphilis is high in Sub-Saharan Africa. Studies on HHV-8 in Kenya are few and data on its coinfection with HIV and syphilis scanty.

Sensitivity analysis and stochastic optimization of levelized cost of hydrogen production through methane pyrolysis

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Hydrogen plays a crucial role across multiple industrial sectors and is increasingly recognized as a clean energy carrier with significant potential in decarbonization efforts. Methane pyrolysis (MP), particularly using molten metal catalysts, offers a promising pathway for hydrogen production with low CO2 emissions.

Febrile status epilepticus and epileptogenesis: The FEBSTAT study

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The multicenter FEBSTAT study (Consequences of Prolonged Febrile Seizures in Childhood: https://grantome.com/grant/NIH/R37‐NS043209‐12; PI S. Shinnar) examined the outcome of febrile status epilepticus (FSE) in over 200 prospectively enrolled infants, with many followed for 10 years after FSE.

Upper Airway Obstruction due to Kaposi Sarcoma—Presenting Sign of HIV: Case Report and Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study presents a case of undiagnosed HIV presenting with Kaposi sarcoma (KS) of the head and neck with acute upper airway obstruction (UAO) and provides an updated scoping literature review to examine the patient characteristics, lesion characteristics, interventions, and outcomes of KS cases with UAO from the pharynx, larynx, and/or trachea.

Intrinsic and Water‐Triggered Hydrophilicity in Tween 20‐PDMS Composites for Dynamic and Long‐Term Wettability Control

Small, EarlyView.
A one‐step bulk integration of the surfactant Tween 20 into PDMS enables intrinsic and water‐triggered hydrophilicity. Combined molecular simulations and experiments reveal a dual mechanism where bound and mobile Tween 20 molecules cooperatively induce self‐activating, stretch‐tolerant, and long‐term wettability, supporting self‐driven liquid transport,

Professional antigen presenting cells in human herpesvirus 8 infection

Frontiers in Immunology, 2013
Professional antigen presenting cells (APC), i.e., dendritic cells, monocytes/macrophages, and B lymphocytes, are critically important in the recognition of an invading pathogen and presentation of antigens to the T cell-mediated arm of immunity.
