Chronic effects of palm oil mill effluent on the hepatosomatic index of zebrafish (Danio rerio) by Zulfahmi Ilham, Setia Batubara Agung, Ali Rizwan, Wulandari Nasution Ayu, Puspita Bela, Nafis Badratun

“…Despite fluctuations during the study, such as an initial 20% increase in HSI in treatment A by day 7, the results indicate adaptive hepatic responses without significant toxic effects at the tested concentrations. These findings highlight the resilience of zebrafish to low concentrations of POME, underscoring the importance of HSI as a biomarker for sub-lethal toxicant effects. …”

Sustainable Leaching of Cu, Ni, and Au from Waste Printed Circuit Boards Using Choline Chloride-Based Deep Eutectic Solvents by Sara Saffaj, Diego Mantovani, Georgios Kolliopoulos

“…Conventional e-waste recycling approaches, including hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy, often involve substantial water and energy consumption and the generation of by-products, such as the emission of toxic gases or hazardous effluents. Within this context, solvometallurgy has emerged as a compelling alternative, whereby green non-toxic non-aqueous solvents, namely deep eutectic solvents (DESs), are used to extract and recover the metals with minimal water and harsh acid/base chemical use. …”

IMPASSIVE DICTATING: A Mnemonic Acronym for Systematically Generating Differential Diagnoses by Ho M, Coloma M, Ngo R, Santhakumar J

“…IMPASSIVE DICTATING is an acronym for pathophysiologies to consider in a differential diagnosis: immune reactions and dysregulation, metabolic, psychiatric, allergic, structural, social, infectious, vascular, endocrine/exocrine, degenerative, iatrogenic, congenital, traumatic, autoimmune, toxic, idiopathic, neoplastic, and genetic. We suggest that this mnemonic includes several improvements on previous pathophysiology-based acronyms and have informally validated this new mnemonic with two lists of common diseases. …”
