Electrochemical degradation using boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes has been proven to be a promising technique for the treatment of water contaminated with per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Various studies have demonstrated that extent PFAS is influenced by composition samples electrochemical conditions. This study evaluated significance several factors, such as current density, initial concentration PFAS, electrolyte, time, their interactions on PFAS. A 24 factorial design...
The ubiquitous occurrence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) the detection unexplained extractable organofluorine (EOF) in drinking water have raised growing concerns. A recent study reported inorganic fluorinated anions German river systems, therefore, some samples, EOF may include anions. Thus, it might be more appropriate to use term "extractable fluorine (EF) analysis" instead analysis. In this study, tap samples (n = 39) from Shanghai were collected assess levels EF/EOF, 35...
The contamination of natural water and industrial wastewater with per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) occurs globally. Thus, proper technologies are required to reduce PFAS in the environment mitigate adverse effects these pollutants on human health environment. This study used a 23 full factorial design evaluate importance operating factors including level persulfate (PS), initial concentration PFAS, time photochemical degradation via ultraviolet irradiation at 185/254 nm assisted (PS/UV...
Abstract OBJECTIVE The experiences of health care professionals using new screening tools in clinical and public settings are crucial to the implementation process. However, further research is needed on their with fall risk screening. This study utilized integrated-Promoting Action Research Implementation Health Services (i-PARIHS) framework explore professionals’ First-time Injurious Falls (FIF) tool, aiming identify barriers facilitators for implementing FIF tool primary settings. METHODS...
Electrochemical and ultraviolet-based methods are advanced oxidation processes emerging as viable water wastewater treatment options. In this study, a combination of these two (EO-UV) using boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes ultraviolet radiation at both 185 254 nm was assessed for the degradation poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Sodium persulfate (Na2S2O8) sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) were used electrolytes. The method investigated on model solutions containing perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA)...
Abstract Introduction After radical cystectomy physical activity is important to reduce risk of complications, but patients with urinary bladder cancer have difficulties in achieving general recommendations on and exercise. The aim this randomised controlled trial was therefore evaluate the effects a exercise programme primary care, following discharge from hospital after robot-assisted for cancer. Materials Methods Patients scheduled at Karolinska University Hospital, Sweden between...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been used for decades in a broad range of consumer products industrial applications. A variety waste containing PFAS inevitably end up at management facilities when they are no longer considered useful. Drainage water samples (n = 157) were collected from eight subsections facility Sweden analyzed 23 extractable organofluorine (EOF). Two different sampling methods used, grab 32, without filtration) composite 8, produced by pooling 16 filtered...
The current study evaluated a three-stage treatment to remediate PFAS-contaminated soil. consisted of soil washing, foam fractionation (FF), and electrochemical oxidation (EO). possibility replacing the third stage, i.e., EO, with an adsorption process was also assessed. contamination in studied soils dominated by perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), concentration 760 19 μg kg−1 I II, accounting for 97 % 70 all detected per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Before applying pilot soil,...
Abstract Background Early mobilisation is strongly recommended following abdominal cancer surgery, but evidence on how to structure early improve outcomes and support patient adherence lacking. Pedatim® (Phystec) a novel digital tool designed in hospital settings using prescribed activities goals tablet. The aim of this study was evaluate the feasibility Pedatim tablet enhance surgery. Methods In non-randomised trial design, participants were recruited between January May 2022 at Karolinska...
Abstract Background Physical activity is thought to be a key component in reducing postoperative complications following major abdominal surgery. The available literature on exercise interventions radical cystectomy patients with bladder cancer scarce but suggests that physical and might improve function health-related quality of life, thus calling for further investigation. CanMoRe-trial single-blinded randomised controlled trial (Clinicals Trials NCT03998579 25/06/2019), aimed at...
