Contaminants of Emerging Concern in Water and Wastewater Advanced Treatment Processes, 2020, Pages 139-176
This book chapter advances SDG 3 and 6 by presenting state-of-the-art design and use of adsorbents, membranes, and UV/oxidation processes, along with the challenges that will need to be addressed to close the gap between development and implementation in water/wastewater treatment applications.
Correspondence on the burden of tuberculosis on the Māori population, in the context of SDGs 3 and 10, highlighting the need to incorporate innovative technologies and develop strategies that align with Māori values to address tuberculosis health inequalities in Indigenous peoples.
This study examines the relationship the extracellular volume fraction (ECV) measured using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) T1 mapping and cardiac events in symptomatic adults with tetralogy of Fallot (the most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease). A correlation is found between right ventricular (RV) volume and ejection fraction (EF); with RV- and septum-extracellular volumes (ECV) in this disease. In particular, the combination of septum-ECV and RVEF was a useful predictor, compared to the use of a single CMR parameter. This study supports SDG 3 Good health and wellbeing.
This chapter addresses SDG10 and SDG3 by investigating how racial and ethnic diparities affect the incidence, prevalence, and course of chronic kidney disease (CKD) worldwide.
This book chapter reviews the literature supporting a genetic basis for obsessive-compulsive disorder, advancing SDG 5, gender equality.
Purpose: Although the wind, rain, and flooding of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico abated shortly after its landfall on September 20, 2017, the disruption of the electrical, communications, transportati
There are increasing policy and market drivers for removing chemicals of concern from manufacturing processes and products. These drivers have centered primarily on developed countries.
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease causing dementia in the elderly population.
Polymorphism in the microglial receptor CD33 gene has been linked to late-onset Alzheimer disease (AD), and reduced expression of the CD33 sialic acid-binding domain confers protection.
Air pollution and climate change are key global challenges for cities and both have large impacts on human health and economic development.
