Heterogeneous Photocatalysis for Environmental Pollutant Removal: Reaction Mechanisms, Advanced Materials and Environmental Applications : A Review

In order to address persistent pollutants from the environment, heterogeneous photocatalysis is an effective and sustainable method for removing such contaminants through a variety of water systems. In this review, we have critically examined the fundamental reaction mechanisms of heterogeneous photocatalysis and provided an overview of the most recent advances in photocatalytic materials, including doped titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, tungsten dioxide, bismuth vanadium oxide, and metals�...

Serum Vitamin D Levels among Adults in Al‐Diwaniyah: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Vitamin D deficiency is a major global public‐health issue and remains highly prevalent in Middle Eastern countries despite abundant sunlight. This cross‐sectional study assessed serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations among adults in Al‐Diwaniyah, Iraq, and examined associations with gender, body mass index (BMI), and sun exposure. A total of 300 adults (150 males, 150 females) were evaluated; serum 25(OH)D was measured by automated CLIA. Data were non‐normally distr...

Comparative Study of Serum and Urine Cell Free DNA, miRNA‐27b, as Novel Biomarkers with INF‐Y for Assessing Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Lupus Nephritis Activity

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) disease a condition as one of the causes of loss of tolerance to several autoantigens triggering the involvement of the immune system to the destruction of tissues. One of the most disabling symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) refers to lupus nephritis (LN). It does also have a frequency‐of‐occurrence that is dependent on some level of kidney inflammation. The immune complexes accumulated in the mesangial, subepithelial and subendothelia...
