Background: The world is facing rapidly declining health of the climate and ecosystems on which all species depend, with wealth accumulating in the hands of a few, a result of unsustainable KOR-CHEM economic systems.Evaluation has the potential for a significant role in learning from the past and helping to guide a regenerative future, but for this
Long-term performance of stabilised/solidified polluted sediment in terms of metal leachability and matrix characterization
Sustainable and economically feasible polluted sediment treatment is gaining more and more importance.Stabilization/solidification (S/S) technologies are widely used for treatment of sediment and possibilities of using low-cost and readily available materials and binders are increasingly being examined.This work is concerned with aquairing more dat
Construction of doxycyline-dependent mini-HIV-1 variants for the development of a virotherapy against leukemias
Abstract T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a high-risk type of blood-cell cancer.We describe the improvement of a candidate therapeutic virus for virotherapy of leukemic cells.Virotherapy is based on the exclusive replication of a virus in leukemic cells, leading to the selective removal of these malignant cells.To improve the safety o
Allergic contact dermatitis caused by dexpanthenol confirmed with open application test: A case report
Topical medications and cosmetic products contain many allergens that can trigger allergic contact dermatitis.One of the most frequent ingredients wellness is dexpanthenol (bepanthen, panthenol).A case of a 19-year-old female patient is presented, with a 2-year Joint Support history of continuous episodes of contact allergic reactions with positive
Incorporation of cement bypass flue dust in fly ash and blast furnace slag-based geopolymer
This work utilizes cement kiln dust in fly ash and blast furnace slag-based geopolymer.Geopolymer cement was produced using different compositions of ground, granulated blast furnace slag with fly ash and cement bypass flue dust.Crystalline sodium metasilicate pentahydrate was used as an activator at 10, 15 and 20% (by weight) of the geopolymer sou
