Catalytic Pyrolysis of Waste Polystyrene Over Fe–B Composite Catalyst for Enhanced Liquid Fuel Production

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Healthcare derived polystyrene waste represents a growing and under addressed fraction of plastic waste streams due to contamination risks and limited recyclability. This study aims to investigate the valorization of waste polystyrene foam through catalytic and noncatalytic pyrolysis pathways to evaluate product yield distribution and identify

Getting (un)wasted: How planning failures generate consumer waste across resources: Time, money, goods, and energy

Incidence and Disease Course of Polymyalgia Rheumatica During Two Decades: A Nationwide Study Across Health Care Sectors in Denmark

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective A new algorithm enables the identification of patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) across health care sectors in Denmark. We estimated annual incidence rates from 2003 to 2024 and described the disease course, including the occurrence of late‐onset giant cell arteritis (GCA) and prednisolone or prednisone (PDN) treatment.
