Potential Waste‐to‐Wealth Strategy for Combining Medical Surgical Gloves‐Derived Pyrolysis Oil with Pentanol and Nanoparticles: Experimental Analysis on Engine Behaviors

Global Challenges
In this work, the applicability of surgical glove waste pyrolysis oil (SGWPO) combined with pentanol and nano‐additives (silicon dioxide (SiO2) and nano‐graphene) as a substitute fuel for a 5.2 kW‐diesel engine is experimentally conducted, aiming to ...

Medical wastes found on coastline are increasing [PDF]

BMJ, 1994
EDITOR, - Last year we reported, on the basis of data from Norwich Union Coastwatch UK, that in 1991 one item of medical waste was found per 5.4 km of coastline surveyed in England and Wales.1 In 1992 the findings were similar,2 but in both studies unspecified medical items accounted for more than 48% of the waste.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Circulating microRNA signatures of cachexia and cancer in Canis familiaris as a comparative oncology model for human disease

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Circulating microRNAs as biomarkers of cachexia and sex‐specific cancer in senior dogs. In 25 client‐owned dogs, four circulating miRNAs (miR‐15a, miR‐15b, miR‐16, miR‐140) were downregulated in cachexia, with miR‐16 the strongest individual biomarker (AUC = 0.899).

A numerical analysis of pollutant dispersion from the chimney of the medical waste incinerator in the urban environment

Građevinar
Numerical analyses were carried out on the dispersion of pollution from the chimney of a medical waste incinerator in an urban environment. The research focused on determining the location and height of the chimney to ensure that the descent of pollution

Long‐term hippocampal alterations and cognitive impairment in a murine model of surgical sepsis

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Using a mouse model of surgical sepsis, we tested long‐term memory and analyzed the transcriptome of single cells isolated from the hippocampus. Survivor mice showed worse memory, loss of certain brain cell subpopulations, and abnormal immune cell activity—suggesting that post‐sepsis brain alterations may be linked to cognitive deficits.

Biological hazards that can affect the health of the workers that handle hospital waste

International Journal of Occupational and Environment Safety, 2019
Technological advances allow the science development, with the creation of new materials / equipment and the offer of different products and services. Some of these materials, after use, are discarded, becoming waste.
