Abstract:
4 pp.<br>Arizona Know Your Water.<br>Today, homeowners have access to several water treatment systems to help control minerals and contaminants and to disinfect their water. Nearly half of the homes in the U.S. have some type of water treatment device. Mistrust of public water utilities, uncertainty over water quality standards, concerns about general health issues and limited understanding about home water treatment systems have all played a role in this increasing demand for home water treatment systems. Private well owners also need to provide safe drinking water for their families and ha

Thesis (M.A.)--Boston University<br>Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most prevalent fatal autosomal recessive diseases in the United States. Although early diagnosis and improved treatment methods have helped increase the median predicted survival age of CF patients, CF remains a burdensome and life-threatening disease. Furthermore, the challenges of treating CF are amplified by the fact that there are over 1,800 known CF mutations. Recent advances in drug therapy have begun to target the main classes of CF mutations at the protein level, addressing mutational events instead of downstream di

In the present studies we have explored the link between food hypersensitivity and IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and evaluated treatment options in primary and recurrent disease. Approximately one third of our IgAN patients had a rectal mucosal sensitivity to gluten, as demonstrated by increased local mucosal nitric oxide production and/or myeloperoxidase release after gluten challenge. The gluten sensitivity seemed to be an innate immune reaction unrelated to the pathogenesis of celiac disease. Approximately half of the patients had a rectal mucosal sensitivity to soy or cow’s milk (CM). The levels

Abstract:
There is approximately 14 million tonnes of biodegradable organic waste produced by households in the UK every year which must be treated or disposed of. The EC Directive on Landfill (1999/31IEC), is likely to lead to an increase in compo sting and anaerobic digestion as methods to treat the waste stream diverted from landfill. Householders play an important role in separating their waste, which, if not performed efficiently can lead to contamination of the organic waste stream, and hence the compost product.

Patients with difficult to manage asthma and chronic cough are commonly seen by respiratory physicians in the NHS.

In the first study, 30 patients with asthma and eosinophilic inflammation were given two weeks of prednisolone and then randomised to receive either ciclesonide 360mcg or placebo twice daily for 8 weeks.

Battlefield retinal laser injury is an infrequent but potentially devastating cause of irreversible blindness. Resultant laser-induced photoreceptor death may occur by necrosis or apoptosis, the latter which is a form of programmed cell death that may be physiological or pathological. Though necrosis cannot be prevented, apoptosis may be inhibited under certain conditions. Therefore, following retinal laser injury, specific treatment aims to target apoptotic photoreceptors and may take the form of neuroprotection or cell replacement.

Abstract:
Seasonal periods of high rainfall have led to difficulties in removing sufficient natural organic matter (NOM) to meet trihalomethane (THM) standards, and hence better or alternative treatments are required. Typically bulk water parameters such as dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and UV absorbance at 254nm (UV254) are used to optimise treatment processes. Here the isolated fraction character and molecular weight (MW) distribution was used in conjunction with bulk water parameters to tailor process options for the treatment of humic rich waters. Three options for the removal of NOM were proposed.

The treatment of advanced nuclear fuels is relevant to the stabilisation of legacy spent fuels or nuclear materials and fuels from future nuclear reactors. Historically, spent fuel reprocessing has been driven to recover uranium and plutonium for reuse. Future fuel cycles may also recover the minor actinides neptunium, americium and perhaps curium. These actinides would be fabricated into new reactor fuel to produce energy and for transmutation of the minor actinides. This has the potential to reduce the long lived radioactivity of the spent fuel and reprocessing high level waste, whilst also

The robustness and versatility of Bayer precipitates for the treatment of different AMD waters makes them an attractive alternative to commercial materials, especially as they have the potential to reduce the footprint of both mining

Abstract:
Horizontal subsurface flow (HSSF) constructed wetlands were evaluated for the treatment of flow-through trout farm effluent, phosphorus sorption affinity of gravel-bed media, and influence on Rhodamine WT (RWT) transport. HSSF wetlands coupled with mechanical pretreatment demonstrated significant (p <0.05) removal of total ammonia-nitrogen (TAN), total phosphorus (TP), total organic carbon (TOC), total suspended solids (TSS), five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), and turbidity. Treatment occurred predominantly within the wetland cells, with minimal removal of studied water quality paramet

Abstract:
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide and atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent arrhythmia associated with increased risk of mortality and morbidity. Despite improved outcome in both diseases, there is a need to further describe the prevalence, outcome and management of CAD in patients with concomitant AF. AF was a common finding among patients with MI, with 16% having new-onset, paroxysmal or chronic AF. Patients post-MI with concomitant AF, regardless of subtype, were at increased risk of composite cardiovascular outcome of mortality, MI or ischemic stro
