Frailty Is Associated With Decreased Survival in Adult Patients With Nonoperative and Operative Traumatic Subdural Hemorrhage: A Retrospective Cohort Study of 381,754 Patients by Evan N. Courville, MD, Oluwafemi P. Owodunni, MD, MPH, Jordyn T. Courville, BS, Syed F. Kazim, MD, PhD, Alexander J. Kassicieh, BS, Allyson M. Hynes, MD, Meic H. Schmidt, MD, MBA, Christian A. Bowers, MD

“…Frailty was associated with major complications, LOS, mortality, and high level care discharges in a nationwide population of 381,754 patients. While timely surgery may be required for patients with tSDH, rapid deployment of point-of-care risk assessment for frailty creates an opportunity to equip physicians in allocating resources more precisely, possibly leading to better outcomes.…”

Silver (Ag) doped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4)/biochar composite photocatalyst for improved photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) by Ijlal Idrees, Muhammad Zafar, Malik Adeel Umer, Fahad Rehman, Abdul Razzaq, Seongwan Kim, Yunsook Yang, Woo Young Kim

“…The best sample 0.10-ABCN (with 10 wt% Ag content) exhibits the highest photocatalytic activity i.e. 70 % degradation of CIP (after 4 h of light irradiation), which is 3 times better than the pure GCN sample (25 %). Results from experimentation suggest that the strategy of composite photocatalyst fabrication based on the doping effect and fusing with carbonaceous material improved the photocatalytic efficiency mainly ascribed to improved optical absorbance and efficient charge separation.…”
