Combined application of biochar and silicate rock powder might have synergistic effects on carbon dioxide removal and soil improvement. However, it remains unknown how their combination affects mineralization and stabilization of soil organic carbon (SOC). We compared pure 13 C-labeled wheat-straw biochar, pure basanite rock powder, their co-application, and rock-enhanced biochar from co-pyrolysis of wheat and basanite. All am...

The modern use of neoadjuvant and conversion systemic therapy in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) has improved resection rates and changed the borders between “resectable” and “unresectable” disease. Also, the use of preoperative systemic therapy has resulted in an increased frequency of disappearing liver metastasis (DLM). The optimal management of DLM is still controversial. In this review, we explore...

The response of heterotrophic bacterioplankton to the addition of macrophytic dissolved organic matter (DOM) and temperature was investigated in the Red Sea. We added 40 μ mol C L −1 of leachates obtained from seagrass and mangrove leaves to natural bacterial communities, incubated them at three temperatures (25.5°C found in situ plus 3°C below and above that value) and monitored the microbial and biogeochemical responses over...

Purpose Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become a leading cause of liver disease, affecting 30% of the global population. NAFLD prevalence is particularly high in obese individuals and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). NAFLD ranges from simple fat deposition in the liver to necroinflammation and fibrosis (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)), NASH-cirrhosis, and/or hepatocellular carcinoma. Insulin r...
