We examined the utility of 13 pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) as molecular markers sewage contamination in riverine, groundwater, coastal environments. The PPCPs were crotamiton, ibuprofen, naproxen, ketoprofen, fenoprofen, mefenamic acid, thymol, triclosan, propyphenazone, carbamazepine, diethyltoluamide, ethenzamide, caffeine. Measurements 37 Japanese rivers showed positive correlations riverine flux crotamiton (r2 = 0.85), carbamazepine 0.84), ibuprofen 0.73), acid...
Perfluorinated surfactants (PFSs) in groundwater were analyzed to reveal their distribution and sources. Sixteen spring samples collected from the Tokyo metropolitan area, nine PFSs, including perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), by liquid chromatography−tandem mass spectrometry. A column test using artificial street runoff was also performed study behavior. PFSs detected all samples, some at concentrations comparable those wastewater runoff, suggesting widespread...
While the occurrence of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in groundwater has typically been reported bank filtration sites, irrigated fields, septic tanks, sewage disposal practices, fewer studies have conducted highly urbanized areas, where infiltration treated or untreated is not supposed to be a source recharge. Furthermore, little known about various kinds PPCPs relation microbial indicators from different types aquifers. Thus, we examined city-wide selected...
Red blood cells (RBC) circulate the human body several hundred thousand times in their life span. Therefore, deformability is really important, especially when they pass through a local capillary whose diameter can be as narrow 3 μm. While there have been number of works discussing simulated such microchannel, far we examined literature, no work focusing on change shape after reciprocated mechanical stress has reported so far. One reasons that appropriate experimental systems to achieve...

Increased concern has recently emerged pertaining to the occurrence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in aquatic environment during current disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. While infectious SARS-CoV-2 yet be identified environment, virus potentially enters wastewater stream from patient excretions and a precautionary approach dictates evaluating transmission pathways ensure public health safety. Although enveloped viruses have presumed low persistence water are...
Abstract Recently reported detection of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater around the world has led to emerging concerns on potential risk water bodies receiving treated effluent. This review aims provide an up-to-date state key knowledge impact natural wastewater. In this review, concentrations wastewater, expected removal WWTPs, and possible dilution decay are reviewed based past studies related enveloped viruses. We suggest a quantitative microbial assessment (QMRA) framework estimate through...
Pyogenic spondylitis typically presents with back and neck pain, fever, fatigue. Sharp chest pain upon deep breathing, commonly associated pleurisy, is not a typical manifestation of pyogenic spondylitis. We report case pleuritic as the initial presentation A 62-year-old male patient presented one-week history right-sided fever. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed right pleural effusion. The was initially treated for bacterial pleurisy without improvement subsequently developed pain....
