Abstract The production of environmentally friendly SAP using biodegradable natural resources such as chitosan was synthesized for water saving and controlled-released fertilizer. Chitosan-g-poly(acrylamide)/attapulgite superabsorbent composites (CTS) were created by crosslinking N , '-methylene-bis-acrylamide (MBA) with (Ch), acrylamide, attapulgite (ATP) initiating the reaction potassium pers...

Aims: To assesses the effectiveness of surgical handwashing (S-HW) in healthcare workers (HCWs) terms organic material and bacteria elimination by means bioluminescence assays.
 Methods: 62-HCWs were subjected to analyses determine adenosine triphosphate (ATP) colony forming units (CFU) Enterobacteriaceae (EB) E. coli before after S-HW. A checklist evaluate adherence hand hygiene (HH) prot...

background: some evidence, not in large study populations, suggests that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) and metabolic syndrome (mets) share common interactions. we aimed to determine the prevalence of nafld and mets in a large population registered to kavar cohort study center. we also assessed the role of each component of mets in nafld existence. methods: data were obtained from 341...
