Congenital heart defects (CHD) appear in almost one percent of live births. Asian countries have the highest birth prevalence of CHD in the world. Recessive genotypes may represent a CHD risk factor in Asian populations with a high degree of consanguineous marriages.

Ranitidine, a competitive inhibitor of histamine H 2 receptors, has been identified as an emerging micropollutant in water and wastewater, raising concerns about its potential impact on the environment and human health. This study aims to address this issue by developing an effective removal strategy using two types of layered double hydroxide (LDH) catalysts (i.e., CoFeLDH and CoCuLDH). Characterization results show that CoFe...
