The present study successfully produced a highly effective and stable organ phosphorus-doped tungsten trioxide (P-WO3) photocatalyst by a combination of hydrothermal and postcalcination methods. The crystallites, morphologies, and optical properties of the produced WO3 and P-WO3 crystals were investigated. The results indicated that P was consistently doped into the WO3 lattice in a pentavalent-oxidation state (P5+). Additionally, charge carrier traps capable of accepting photoelectrons were created. Additionally, the optical band gap was reduced from 2.4 to 2.33 eV. The degradation of methyl blue by photocatalysts was utilized to evaluate the photocatalytic performance of the synthesized P-WO3 samples at varied P concentrations (MB). The sample containing 6% -P-WO3 exhibited the best photocatalytic performance, degrading 96 percent of MB in 120 minutes, which was more than four times faster than the pure WO3 sample. The practicality of the synthesized P-WO3 was determined using samples from two residential wastewater treatment plants. When treating real wastewater with low organic matter concentrations, the P-WO3 demonstrated strong photodegradation performance. The creation of hydroxyl radicals (OH) and photography-created holes (h+) could be the key protagonists of photocatalytic activity in the P-WO3.

“…Every analytical method has different detection range and sensitivity, which hinders the direct comparison of serum AMH level measured by different analytical methods [ 15 , 16 ] and the determination of cut-off value. Compare different AMH kits provided in France: three kinds of manual (AMH Gen II, Ultrasensible Al-105i, AL-124i or pico-AMH) and two kinds of automatic (Elecsys AMH, AMH Access Dxi) [ 17 , 18 ]. The two automated means delivered higher accuracy, faster speed (automatic: 18-40 minutes; manual 4-6 hours), with sensitivity 10 times more sensitivity than ELISA analysis, and a need for less serum in analysis, and less variation in laboratories.…”

Objective. To explore the diagnostic value of serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) for patients with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and premature ovarian failure (POF). Methods. Totally, 125 women with menstrual disorder treated in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Ningbo Women & Children Hospital between January 2020 and December 2021 were enrolled. Among them, based on the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level, 54 patients ( 25 IU / L < FSH ≤ 40 IU / L ) were assigned to the POI group, and 71 patients ( FSH > 40 IU / L ) were assigned to the POF group. In addition, 72 individuals who went physical examination in the hospital and showed normal menstrual cycle were selected as the control (CON) group. Serum AMH in each group was quantified via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Beckman Coulter Access active immunoassay analyzer, and the levels of serum neutral hormones [luteinizing hormone (LH), FSH, as well as estradiol (E2)] in each group were detected through the electrochemiluminescence method. The difference between AMH level acquired by the latest automatic method and that acquired by the traditional manual ELISA was compared, and the correlation of serum AMH with sex hormones was analyzed. In addition, receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn for determining the diagnostic value of serum AHM for POI ad POF. Results. Beckman Coulter Access quantified AMH more accurately and fastly (Beckman Coulter Access: 35 minutes; manual quantification: 3-4 hours) and was more sensitive than ELISA, with a requirement to less serum. The levels of serum AMH and E2 in the POF group were 0.04 ± 0.10 ng/mL and 35.16 ± 53.06 ng/mL, respectively, which were notably lower than those in the POI group (( 0.69 ± 1.46 ) ng/mL and ( 3.96 ± 2.82 ) ng/mL) and CON group (( 76.31 ± 97.84 ) ng/mL and ( 113.19 ± 114.84 ) ng/mL). The LH and FSH levels in the POF group were 37.86 ± 19.44 IU/L and 75.05 ± 35.31 IU/L, which were higher than those in POI group (( 22.66 ± 26.15 ) IU/L and ( 11.30 ± 17.05 ) IU/L) and the CON group (( 29.81 ± 4.45 ) IU/L and ( 6.78 ± 3.45 ) IU/L) ( P < 0.05 ). The POI group showed a notably lower serum AMH level and notably higher LH and FSH levels than the CON group ( P < 0.05 ), and the POI group was similar to the CON group in the E2 level ( P > 0.05 ). Serum AMH showed a positive correlation with E2 ( r = 0.291 , P < 0.05 ) and a negative association with both FSH ( r = − 0.476 , P < 0.05 ) and LH ( r = − 0.143 , P < 0.1 ). The optimal cut-off value of serum AMH in predicting POI was 0.83 ng/mL, and the corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 95.8% and 85.2%. The optimal cut-off of serum AMH in predicting POF was 0.075 ng/mL, and the corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 81.7% and 94.4%. The area under ROC curve (AUC) of serum AMH + FSH in the diagnosis of POF was close to 1. Conclusion. Beckman Coulter Access AMH test is the latest automatic electrochemiluminescence sandwich immunoassay, with higher sensitivity and reproducibility than traditional manual ELISA and with ability to produce repeatable results. With the decline of ovarian function, the serum AMH of POI patients decreases gradually, and the serum AMH of POF patients decreases obviously, so serum AMH level has great value in predicting POI and POF and can be used as a sensitive index for early diagnosis of the two. Serum AMH combined with FSH can lift the diagnostic efficiency of POF.

“…Despite of all these, first aid is a crucial skill for everyone, as anyone could face emergencies during their day. In a specific manner, junior doctors or medical students are generally expected to be able to perform basic life support skills, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in an emergency [ 16 – 18 ].…”

First aid is one of the most important life-saving skills a health provider specifically or anybody generally must have. It can be defined as the first treatment one provides at the site of the accident to the injured person until full medical treatment is available. In some emergency situations, simple first aid can make a life-or-death difference. Aim. This study is designed to evaluate the knowledge of first aid among medical students at KSAU-HS in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods. The cross-sectional study is conducted in KSAU-HS, Riyadh, about the knowledge of first aid among medical students. A self-administered structured questionnaire is used for the purpose of data collection. The main variables are as follows: to compare the knowledge of first aid between male and female medical students, among different years of study, and identify the percentage that have knowledge of first aid. Results. Out of 326 students, 10 students (3.1%) scored excellent, 99 (30.4%) good, 136 (41.7%) average, 75 (23%) poor, and 6 (1.8%) very poor. Conclusion. The level of knowledge improved with the advancement in years, but this was not sufficient, and more training should be given to all medical students on first aid.
