KOH-Activated Iron-Modified Corn Straw Biochar for Nitrate Removal: Preparation, Adsorption Performance, and Mechanism

Nitrate contamination of groundwater requires low-cost adsorbents with strong affinity for anionic species. This study developed an iron-modified corn straw biochar (Fe-BC) by coupling KOH activation with FeCl3 impregnation and secondary pyrolysis, thereby integrating a porous ca...

Efficacy and Safety of Oral Creatine Supplementation in Patients with Heart Failure: A PRISMA 2020 Systematic Review and Narrative Evidence Synthesis

Background: Oral creatine is biologically plausible as an adjunct in heart failure (HF), but its clinical efficacy and safety remain uncertain. Methods: We performed a PRISMA 2020 systematic review (PROSPERO CRD420261391605) of oral creatine supplementation in adults with HF. Ran...

Trop-2 overexpression as a prognostic marker in early triple-negative breast cancer: results from the GEICAM_CIBOMA trial

Trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (Trop-2) is a key therapeutic target in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), yet its prognostic significance in early-stage disease remains poorly defined. We evaluated Trop-2 expression and its clinical impact within a sub-cohort of...

Sex differences in epidemiology and clinical presentation of glomerular diseases in a nationwide Spanish biopsy registry

Sex differences influence the epidemiology and clinical expression of kidney diseases. Most primary glomerulonephritis shows male predominance, whereas lupus nephritis remains strongly female-biased. Large national cohorts with sex-stratified analyses are limited. We analysed all...
