This study investigated the impact of polyethylene microplastics on the growth, root length, and chlorophyll-a content of Lemna minor (duckweed) while evaluating its potential as a phytoremediation tool to address microplastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems. Microplastics, prevalent in the environm...
Currently, activated charcoal is used to remediate heavy metals from water, but it can be expensive. Alternatives such as rice husk-derived biochar can be used as a cost-efficient method of remediating heavy metals. This study aimed to determine the most effective particle sizes (0.149, 0.42, 0.85 m...
Primary care physicians routinely calculate Body Mass Index (BMI) to assess health risks, but BMI is widely criticized for its inaccuracy and lack of inclusivity—particularly in accounting for racial and gender differences in body composition. These limitations contribute to health disparities...
Nearly 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s Disease. This number is expected to rise in the future. Oregano is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. This means reducing inflammation in the body, such as muscles, nerves, etc. Two compounds in oregano were evaluated for their sp...
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a common neurological disorder that af fects the nerve cells in the brain (1). An atomically guided PET reconstruction (AGR) has been a promising method to improve the quality of amyloid PET images (6,7). While previous studies investigated the AGR method on PET ima...
TCyberchondria is defined as the obsessive usage of the internet to research health symptoms, often leading to increased health anxiety. (1,2) Additionally, there exists little research between cyber chondria and self-esteem, two constructs that share associations to other conditions such as obsessi...
Psychotherapists in training lack a standardized and formalized method of patient interaction for the proper development of empathy, communication, and experience. Currently, the experience of a resident may include training with other residents where one patient acts as the patient and one the psyc...
In 2022, 148.65 billion dollars were spent on wound care in the US. Wound healing is facilitated by cell regeneration and proliferation. Scientists use planaria to study regeneration. Planaria is a flatworm with the ability to grow its body back from small body parts. Arachidonic acid (AA) is a poly...
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a vital diagnostic tool used by radiologists, and image quality is heavily dependent on the performance of radiofrequency (RF) coils. RF coils are important components of MRI scanners as they influence signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which is crucial for high-quality...
The peak hurricane season in August and September demands immediate monitoring and response planning to minimize environmental destruction and protect communities. The protection of communities from powerful storms requires ongoing data analysis and improved infrastructure and public education progr...
