After lung transplant, infection is a leading contributor to morbidity and mortality, and hypogammaglobulinemia (HGG) may be an important risk factor for many of these infections. Some reports suggest that HGG not only increases the risk of various infections, but also worsens survival. The incidence of HGG has been shown to increase after lung transplant, and may be as high as 70%. In order to mitigate this risk, intravenous immunoglobulin G (IVIG) replacement for the treatment of HGG has been utilized. However, t [...]

(1) Background: Lung transplantation is an increasingly utilized treatment for end-stage lung disease. Scarcity of organ donors limiting transplantation underscores the importance of optimal histocompatibility testing approaches to facilitate organ allocation and avoid immunologic rejection. Significant data has emerged over the past decade to define the role of alloantibodies against HLA in the pathogenesis of post-lung transplant complications. (2) Methods: Medical literature from 1996–2016 related to search term [...]

A relevant objective of managing an electromagnetic (EM) device is to improve its expected results and reduce its undesirable side effects. In this context, this paper aims to evaluate the interest of the two One Health and Responsible Attitude methods in the daily practice of wireless transmission (or transfer) in EM energy devices. These approaches are respectively linked to device eco-design and optimization, as well as to the protection of biodiversity and ecosystems against device side effects related to EM fi [...]

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping microplastic research by enabling faster, more accurate, and scalable detection, characterization, and modeling. Deep learning automates the identification and classification of microplastics from microscopy images, while machine learning accelerates the recognition of polymers from Raman and infrared spectra. AI-based clustering and segmentation improve the analysis of complex samples, and source-apportionment models learn morphological and chemical features to trace emiss [...]

Dynamic Life Cycle Assessment (DLCA) is an emerging approach in the construction industry it is. Yet, current research is often limited, overlooks operational patterns, and relies on generic case studies, highlighting the need for an extended method to apply these analyses in the built environment. This study conducts a Systematic Literature Review to evaluate the current state of DLCA research and identify key steps toward developing a unified and globally applicable methodology. Using the PRISMA protocol, 69 peer [...]

The United Nations Organization (UNO) in the year 2015 formulated seventeen sustainable development goals (UNO’s 17 SDGs) to be achieved by the end of the year 2030. The so far achieved progress indicates that none of these UNO’s 17 SDGs can be achieved before the deadline. In fact, all these goals can be achieved by developing suitable technologies to fully capture and utilize all the renewable energy resources available on earth to meet all the energy needs of society without any backup from fossil fu [...]

Lanthanum (La) is widely used in various fields. As a consequence, it can accumulate in soil and thus pose a potential hazard to the environment, including a decrease of plant biomass and chlorophyll content. To date, most experimental studies on the biogeochemistry of La have focused on toxic effects resulting from its accumulation in plants growing in La-contaminated areas, while the behavior of La in plants growing in uncontaminated soils has been the subject of much less research. The primary objectives of this [...]
