This study explores the potential utility of the Albumin Creatinine Ratio (ACR) in initial renal function assessment for hypertensive pregnant patients in Benin City, Nigeria. The research addresses challenges in accurately measuring the incidence of pregnancy-related hypertension, emphasizing limited access to prenatal care and standardized definitions for pre-eclampsia. Elevated levels of microalbuminuria and ACR in preeclampsia and pregnancy-induced hypertensive cases underscore the link between renal dysfunction and hypertensive disorders. The study reveals a prevalence of microalbuminuria in hypertensive pregnant women and emphasizes the need for early assessment tools. Bivariate correlation analyses show significant associations between ACR and gestational age, microalbuminuria, total cholesterol, and urine creatinine during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analyses demonstrate promising diagnostic potential for ACR at both trimesters. The distribution of ACR values across age groups provides insights into potential variations in renal function based on maternal age. Notably, severe preeclampsia is associated with higher ACR levels, suggesting its role in indicating the severity of renal involvement. Despite the study's shortcomings, which include its insufficient sampling size, the findings highlight ACR's potential as a valuable marker for renal function and risk stratification in hypertensive pregnant patients.<#LINE#>Salako, B.

Owing to growing human population, industrialization and human activity, water is heavily contaminated with various dangerous substances. Dye manufacturing industries represent a significant environmental pollution challenge globally due to their discharge of undesirable dye effluents. This study examines the physico- chemical properties of various industrial effluents gathered from different facilities in and around Surat. The report emphasizes the necessity of proper treatment of industrial estate influents to mitigate land and water pollution. The pharmaceutical, chemical, dye and textile industries are significant contributors to the pollution of the surrounding aquatic environment. Analysis of effluent samples obtained from dye industries revealed elevated levels of Total Dissolve solid (TDS), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biochemical oxygen Demand (BOD), Chloride concentrations. In addition, various other parameters were assessed for wastewater samples, including pH, Temperature, Total Suspended Solids (TSS). The results of the present analysis underscore the importance of adopting innovative and enhanced wastewater treatment methods along with a range of supportive policies and objectives.<#LINE#>Ramesh, P., & Damodhram, T.

Binder stabilization or plant fiber reinforcement are among the techniques that are being studied and deepened with the aim of adding value to the properties of this material. The present study reveals the influence of the length and content of coconut fibers from the coconut palm on the physical and mechanical properties of stabilized compressed clay soil (BTCS) blocks. To do this, the clay soil from the Noèpé quarry (Togo) was mixed with the extracted fibers and cut into two length classes (0-6 and 6-10 cm). Three types of soil were used (70% Sand (S), 30% clay silt (CS); 75% S, 25% CS and 80% S and 20% CS). The land was stabilized with cement with a rate varying from 2 to 8% for a step of 2%. The fibers are incorporated into the clay-cement matrix with a mass content of soil varying from 0 to 0.4% for a step of 0.1%. The results obtained show that the density of the blocks decreases with the increase in the content of fibers incorporated for the two length classes and increases slightly with the content of cement. The opposite phenomenon is observed for capillary absorption, which increases with the fibers content and decreases with the increase in the cement content. Overall, the results show that compressive strength decreases with increasing fibers content.<#LINE#>Anger, R., Fontaine, L., Joffroy, T., & Ruiz, E.

Patil College of Engineering, Akurdi Pune, Maharashtra, India<#LINE#>10/9/2024<#LINE#>26/10/2024<#LINE#>Phosphate and ammonium are significant contributors to eutrophication in water bodies, originating mainly from wastewater. However, conventional methods for removing these nutrients in water treatment plants face considerable challenges. Additionally, the natural reservoir of phosphorus is finite and expected to be depleted within the next 50 to 100 years, highlighting the urgency of phosphorus recycling as a pressing issue. One promising avenue for phosphorus retrieval from effluent is through the sleet of crystalline struvite. Struvite, also identified as MgNH4PO4•6H2O, presents an appealing solution for sustainable development. This method not only recovers valuable phosphorus but also mitigates environmental issues associated with excess phosphorus in wastewater. After precipitation, struvite serves as an effective fertilizer or a valuable resource for phosphorus recovery, supporting a circular economy and lessening reliance on conventional phosphorus sources. The effectiveness of struvite recovery hinges on achieving the appropriate super saturation of wastewater, which dictates the rate and extent of striate formation. In recent research, the stability domain of struvite in synthetic wastewater (SWW) was investigated, focusing on the kinetics of its spontaneous precipitation. This investigation involved aqueous solutions mimicking the composition of municipal wastewaters. By adjusting the concentrations of Mg2+, NH4+, and PO43- ions maintain a stoichiometric molar ratio of 1:1:1, varying degrees of super saturation with respect to struvite were achieved. Results indicate that phosphorus removal rates of up to 70% or higher can be attained through this method. However, there remains room for improvement, particularly in controlling the quality of struvite production. Efforts in refining this technique could enhance its efficiency and viability for widespread implementation in wastewater treatment processes.<#LINE#>Zhang, M., Chi, Y., Li, S., Fu, C., Yuan, H., Wang, X., & Chen, F.

Now a day’s environmentalists are worried about the climate change which is consequently responsible for the persistent challenges faced by our planet. It is a cause of the important threats to ecosystem, human health, and socioeconomic stability. This comprehensive study specifically focuses on mitigation strategies and adaptation measures that can help lessen the effects of climate change and increase the power of resilience to its impacts. These strategies aim to cut down greenhouse gas emissions and intensify carbon sinks. The transitioning of low carbon economy paves path for the development and deployment of renewable energy technologies to replace fossil fuel-based energy generation. In addition to these mitigation strategies, certain adaptive measures like sustainable land management practices and the protection and restoration of natural ecosystems are essential to combat climate. By implementing effectual mitigation and adaptation measures, we can unanimously work hard towards a sustainable future.<#LINE#>Cunningham, W. P., & Cunningham, M. A.

Raman University, Khandwa, MP, India<#LINE#>29/8/2024<#LINE#>26/11/2024<#LINE#>Nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems (NBDDS) enhance the safety and therapeutic efficacy of drugs due to their unique properties. By combining therapeutic drugs with nanoparticles, these systems address the limitations of conventional treatments, such as poor stability, solubility, transmembrane transport, short circulation time, and toxicity. This review covers recent advancements in targeting design strategies and therapeutic approaches using various nanomaterial-based systems. It also discusses the challenges and future perspectives of smart systems in targeting both intravascular and extravascular diseases. Nanomedicine has revolutionized drug delivery, offering precise control over drug release and targeting. Key developments in nanoparticle formulations, targeting mechanisms, and clinical applications are highlighted, along with the challenges and future prospects of nanomedicine in improving therapeutic efficacy and reducing side effects.<#LINE#>Patel, V., Shukla, R., & Patel, A.
