Assessing seed pellet formulations to improve native plant restoration under water‐limited conditions

Restoration Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 7, September 2024.
Water scarcity, a challenge expected to worsen with climate change, significantly hinders native plant community restoration. Enhancing seed‐based restoration requires methods to increase the water availability for seeds and seedlings. Surfactants and superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) can improve soil water‐holding capacity and infiltration, but their use

Talc pleurodesis: comparison of talc slurry instillation with thoracoscopic talc insufflation for malignant pleural effusions.

Journal of B.U.ON. : official journal of the Balkan Union of Oncology, 2007
Pleurodesis can relieve dyspnea in patients with malignant pleural effusions. We retrospectively compared the success rate of talc slurry instillation pleurodesis with thoracoscopic talc powder insufflation pleurodesis.From 2000 to 2005, two methods of talc pleurodesis were performed in 71 patients with symptomatic massive malignant pleural effusions ...

Effect of Opioids vs NSAIDs and Larger vs Smaller Chest Tube Size on Pain Control and Pleurodesis Efficacy Among Patients With Malignant Pleural Effusion: The TIME1 Randomized Clinical Trial [PDF]

, 2015
IMPORTANCE For treatment of malignant pleural effusion, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are avoided because they may reduce pleurodesis efficacy.

Enrichment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH)–Degrading Strictly Anaerobic Sulfate‐Reducing Cultures from Contaminated Soil and Sediment

Current Protocols, Volume 4, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract Sulfate‐reducing bacteria (SRB) are crucial players in global biogeochemical cycling and some have been implicated in the anaerobic biodegradation of organic pollutants, including recalcitrant and hazardous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

Management of malignant pleural effusion and trapped lung: a survey of respiratory physicians and thoracic surgeons in Australasia

Internal Medicine Journal, Volume 54, Issue 7, Page 1119-1125, July 2024.
Abstract Background Malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) are common, and a third of them have underlying trapped lung (TL). Management of MPE and TL is suspected to be heterogeneous. Understanding current practices in Australasia is important in guiding policies and future research.

Geopolymers made using organic bases. Part I: Synthesis and atomic structure

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 107, Issue 7, Page 5051-5072, July 2024.
Abstract Geopolymers can act as a facile forming route to aluminosilicate ceramic composites due to being processed as fluids rather than as powders. However, the compositions available via typical alkali geopolymers are limited by the presence of alkali cations, introduced by the alkali silicate solution precursors.
