High efficiency and rapid treatment of naproxen sodium wastewater by dielectric barrier discharge coupled with catalysis
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Apr 25. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-27125-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPharmaceutical wastewater has the characteristics of high organic concentration and poor biodegradability, which will cause serious environmental pollution when discharged into water bodies. In this work, naproxen sodium was used to simulate pharmaceutical wastewater by dielectric barrier discharge technology. The effects of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) and combined catalysis on the removal of naproxen sodium solution were studied. The removal effect of naproxen sodium was affected by discharge conditions, includin...

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs-aspirin interactions and with risk of cardiovascular disease in patients osteoarthritis
Am J Epidemiol. 2023 Apr 19:kwad094. doi: 10.1093/aje/kwad094. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNon-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) remain the mainstay of the pharmacologic management for relieving osteoarthritis (OA) pain and low-dose aspirin is often prescribed to OA patients who are at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We conducted cohort studies using data from The Health Improvement Network (THIN) database (2000-2019) to assess whether the relation of initiation of naproxen or ibuprofen vs. initiation of other NSAIDs (excluding both naproxen and ibuprofen), respectively, to the risk of CVD was modifie...

A Review of Thyroid Dysfunction due to COVID-19
Conclusion: Changes in thyroid tests may be one of the most important manifestations of COVID19. These changes can be confusing for clinicians and can lead to inappropriate diagnoses and decisions. Prospective studies should be conducted in the future to increase epidemiological and clinical data and optimize the management of thyroid dysfunctions in patients with COVID-19.PMID:37069724 | DOI:10.2174/1389557523666230413090332 (Source: Mini Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry)

Ambiguous changes in photosynthetic parameters of Lemna minor L. after short-term exposure to naproxen and paracetamol: Can the risk be ignored?
This study aimed to compare the effects of NPX and PCT, drugs with different physico-chemical properties, on the growth and photosynthetic processes in Lemna minor during a short-term (7 days) exposure. Although duckweed took up more than five times higher amount of PCT as compared to NPX (275.88 µg/g dry weight to 43.22 µg/g when treated with 10 mg/L), only NPX limited the number of new plants by 9% and 26% under 1 and 10 mg/L, respectively, and increased their dry weight (by 18% under 10 mg/L) and leaf area per plant. A considerable (by 30%) drop in the content of photosynthetic pigments under 10 mg/L treatment by both...

Enhancement of peroxymonosulfate activation by humic acid-modified sludge biochar: Role of singlet oxygen and electron transfer pathway
Chemosphere. 2023 Apr 12:138690. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.138690. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSludge biochar (SBC) modified by humic acid (HA) was used to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for degrading naproxen (NPX). HA-modified biochar (SBC-50HA) boosted the catalytic performance of SBC for PMS activation. The SBC-50HA/PMS system had good reusability and structural stability, and was unaffected by complex water bodies. The results of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XPS) indicated that graphitic carbon (CC), graphitic N, and C-O on SBC-50HA played a vital part on the removal ...
