REMOVAL OF AS(V), CR(VI) AND CR(III) HEAVY METAL IONS FROM ENVIRONMENTAL WATERS USING AMIDOXIME AND QUATERNIZED HYDROGELS

Removal of as(V), Cr(VI) and Cr(III) heavy metal ions from environmental waters using amidoxime and quaternized hydrogels

Acrylonitrile (AN) and 1-vinyl imidazole (VI) based hydrogel was prepared in bulk (macro) dimensions via redox polymerization technique.Afterward, this hydrogel was quaternized (positively charged) and exposed to the amidoximation reaction.The prepared hydrogels (quart-p(AN-co-VI), amid-p(AN-co-VI) and p(VI)) characterized using fourier transform i

Lung Recruitment Maneuvers Assessment by Bedside Lung Ultrasound in Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

The use of recruitment maneuvers (RMs) is suggested to improve severe oxygenation failure in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a non-invasive, safe, and easily repeatable tool.It could be used to monitor the lung recruitment process in real-time.This paper aims to evaluate bedside LUS for assessing PE
