6years; 49.0% female). A total of 61% of patients (TD, 66%; TF, 58%) discontinued eculizumab, with TD patients having a shorter median time to discontinuation (TD, 0.5years; TF, 0.9years). TD patients had more all-cause hospitalizations than TF patients (p < 0.05). TD patients incurred higher all-cause direct medical costs (adjusted cost difference = $247,848) and medical-related absenteeism costs (adjusted cost difference = $4186) than TF patients (all p < 0.05), largely driven by hospitalizations. Similar trends were observed for PNH-related HRU and costs.

The economic burden of patients with PNH treated with eculizumab is greater among those dependent on blood transfusions.

We employ the second-generation cointegration methods and cross-sectionally augmented autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) to analyze the short- and long-term association also Dumitrescu and Hurlin Granger causality test applied. The results of Pesaran and Yamagata slope heterogeneity and Pesaran CD test confirm the presence of cross-sectional unit relationship and slope heterogeneity across countries, while positive long- and short-term associations were found among ECI, GDP, and CO2e. Also, TR, GPC, and EPI decrease carbon emissions both in the long and short term . Moreover, Augmented Mean Group (AMG) techniques verified and support these findings. The outcomes of the Dumitrescu and Hurlin Granger causality test showed that any policy aim at ECI, TR, GDP, GPC, and EPI has a considerable impact on CO2e. Based on the rigorous empirical analysis, we suggest that economic complexity, tourism, GDP, GPC, and energy prices would help alleviate high economic complexity countries' environmental degradation challenges.The development of water-stable metal-organic frameworks is a critical issue for their photocatalysis applications in water treatment. A phenyl-ethyl side chain with low surface energy was grafted into NH2-MIL-101(Fe) through a post-synthetic modification (PSM) method. As a result, a novel MIL-101(Fe)-1-(4-(ethyl)phenyl)urea (named MIL-101(Fe)-EPU) was synthesized. Basic morphology, crystal structure, and chemical bond features of MIL-101(Fe)-EPU were retained after PSM. Nitrogen X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis confirmed the successful introduction of the phenyl-ethyl side chain, and this transformation increased its hydrophobicity and water stability. Contact angles of MIL-101(Fe)-EPU to water raised from 59.6 to 140.4°. And its structure maintained intact after 72 h water exposure, indicating higher stability than parent NH2-MIL-101(Fe). In the photocatalysis reaction with visible light and oxidant donor (H2O2), MIL-101(Fe)-EPU demonstrated a degradation efficiency of tetrabromobisphenol A with a reaction rate at 0.0313 min-1. The predominant reaction mechanism was OH·oxidation. The acid condition was beneficial for this photocatalysis reaction and high stability was observed. Besides, photocatalysis efficiency, crystal structure, and chemical structures were all retained in different actual water mediums, suggesting high adaptability of MIL-101(Fe)-EPU. In general, hydrophobic group grafting using a PSM method endows MIL-101(Fe)-EPU the potentiality as photocatalyst for organic contaminant elimination from water.Accumulation of heavy metals in the coastal ecosystem has become a prodigious problem in any developing countries like Bangladesh. The impact of human activities on some physicochemical parameters and heavy metals was studied in surface water of the Bengal coast, Bangladesh. For ease of description, the fourteen study stations were categorized into four regions of the coastal sites of Bangladesh to determine physicochemical parameters and nine heavy metals like chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn) in water samples. The mean concentrations for water physico-chemistry are temperature (27.7±1.2 °C), pH (7.4±0.27), electrical conductivity (EC) (41.8±6.6 mS/cm), dissolved oxygen (DO) (6.7±0.69 mg/L), turbidity (58.5±12.0 NTU), fluoride (1.4±1.2 mg/L), chloride (126±66.3 mg/L), sulfate (120±90.5 mg/L), nitrate (4.7±2.5 mg/L), and phosphate (4.7±2.5 mg/L). While the mean concentrations of Cr, Ni, Cu, As, Cd, Pb, Fe, Mn, and Zn were 150±58.3, 40.2±10.1, 186±114, 77.3±31.3, 32.7±20.7, 66.7±32.5, 871±268, 178±41.4, and 222±100 μg/L, respectively. As a whole, average concentration of studied metals in surface water followed the decreasing order of Fe > Zn > Cu > Mn > Cr > Pb > As > Ni > Cd. Heavy metals in water samples were much higher than the water quality guidelines for freshwater quality criteria for protection of aquatic life and drinking, indicated that the water of the study areas may create health hazard. The outcomes of the contamination factor (CF), pollution load index (PLI), Nemerow's pollution index (NPI), degree of contamination (Cd), and modified degree of contamination (mCd) varied spatially and most of the water samples were moderately to heavily polluted.As an emerging class of nitrogenous disinfection by-products, halonitromethanes have caused public health concerns owing to their high toxicity. More and more attention has been paid to the new materials and technologies for the removal of halonitromethanes. In this study, a novel material, nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) supported on MIL-96 (nZVI@MIL-96) with favorable stability and reusability, was synthesized and applied to the adsorption-degradation of trichloronitromethane (TCNM) in the water. The results revealed that almost all the TCNM could be removed under 20 mg/L nZVI@MIL-96 dosage with a wide temperature range. The optimum mass ratio of nZVI to MIL-96 was 12, and the TCNM adsorption-degradation followed a pseudo-first-order model. The coexisting ions, such as SO42-, PO43-, and NO3-, with high concentration brought adverse effects on the removal of TCNM; however, the effects of Cl- and CO32- were insignificant. The concentrations of aluminum and iron ions in water were all within the standard value after adsorption with the nZVI@MIL-96. The degradation mechanism of TCNM by nZVI@MIL-96 included two steps, namely, adsorption and degradation, and methylamine was the terminal dechlorination and denitration products. In a word, the as-prepared nZVI@MIL-96 nanoparticles demonstrated the capabilities as a material of adsorption-degradation of TCNM in the water.The organic integration of food security and agricultural mechanization has become a challenge to realize a low-carbon economy, which helps promote carbon peaking and carbon neutralization. In this work, a simultaneous equation model has developed to analyze the relationship between food security, agricultural automation, and agricultural carbon emissions in China. The ordinary least square method was used to verify the method. The logarithmic mean Divisia index decomposition was used to decompose further the influencing factors of agricultural carbon emissions. Results show that the organic coupling of a low-carbon economy, food security, and agricultural mechanization positively affects environmental protection. In which, unit fertilizer usage and crop sown area have the greatest impact on carbon emission intensity, followed by agricultural diesel fuel and agricultural plastic film. It is worth noting that the bottom line of the grain sown area cannot be touched. It is a prerequisite for ensuring grain production. Finally, this paper presents suggestions based on China's achievements, where the top-level design is crucial.Lijiang River is an essential drinking water source and natural scenery in the Guilin City. For the first time, implications of rainstorm were taken into consideration by investigating spatial and temporal variation of dissolved heavy metals (HMs) in the Lijiang River water. A total of 68 water samples were collected during low flow (normal) season and high flow (rainstorm) season from 34 sampling sites. Dissolved HMs including Cr, Mn, Co, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Sb, and Pb were found to meet the respective drinking water standards, while comparatively higher concentration was observed after the rainstorm season, except for Cr. Multivariate statistical analysis showed that Co, Cu, Cr, Zn, Sb, and Pb in normal season were mainly controlled by anthropogenic sources. Furthermore, higher concentrations of Mn, Cu, Cd, Pb, Co, and Zn during the high flow season were attributed to rainstorm. The water quality index (WQI) showed good grades and comparatively lower in rainstorm season. The results of health risk assessment revealed that HMs in Lijiang River posed limited health risk; however, As posed potential health risk specially in rainstorm season. It is suggested to adopt preventive measures for mining activities and industrial waste-water discharge at the river's upstream and downstream.Energy poverty poses a serious threat to the urban population residing in Himalayan towns. The present study aims to assess energy vulnerability in the urban settlement of Indian Himalayan Region (IHR). The study addresses energy access and affordability; its requirement, practices, and efficiency, considering the quality of electricity, dwelling type, transport facilities, energy expenditure, household chores (cooking, heating, cooling, lighting, etc.), awareness, and social interactions. The study uses an energy vulnerability framework based on IPCC indices to investigate the status of energy vulnerability in the urban space of Dehradun, the Indian Himalayan Region. The primary data was collected from two circular regions of the city, an area close to the central place and an area outlying from the central place, respectively. The energy vulnerability index was 0.31 and 0.34 with varying degrees of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. The findings reveal that energy vulnerability could jeopardize the well-being of the society and could be mitigated through appropriate policy measures, intensive support to sensitive societies, and a developmental approach focusing on sustainable energy. The study provides a theoretical base to conduct extensive research addressing a similar issue in other Himalayan towns.The studies related to air pollutants and their association with human health over the mountainous region are of utmost importance and are sparse especially over the Himalayan region of India. The linkages between various atmospheric variables and clinically validated data have been done using various datasets procured from satellite, model reanalysis, and surface observations during 2013-2017. Aerosol optical depth, air temperature, and wind speed are significantly related (p less then 0.001) to the incidence of acute respiratory infections with its peak during winter. Model-derived particulate matter (PM2.5) shows high contributions of black carbon, organic carbon, and sulfate during winter. TPI-1 cost The wind roses show the passage of winds from the south-west and southern side of the region. Back trajectory density plot along with bivariate polar plot analyses have shown that most of the winds coming from the western side are taking a southward direction before reaching the study area and may be bringing pollutants from the Indo-Gangetic Plain and other surrounding regions.
