    Abstract Microgels have gained significant importance for the removal of pollutants owing to their stimulus-responsive behavior, high stability, and reusable capacity. However, despite these advantages, several hurdles need to be overcome to fully maximize their potential as effective adsorbents for eradicating various contaminants from the environment, such as metallic cations, organic compounds, anions, harmful gases, and dyes. Therefore, a critical review on the adsorption of pollutants by microgels is needed. In this regard, this review presents the latest developments in the adsorptive properties of microgels. The synthetic methods, architectural structures, and stimulus-responsive behavior of microgels are explained in detail. In addition, this review explores various factors that directly influence the adsorption of pollutants by microgels, such as pH, feed composition, content of pollutants, content of comonomers, agitation time, temperature, microgel dose, nature of both adsorbates (pollutants) and adsorbents (microgels), nature of the medium, and ionic strength. Various adsorption isotherms are also explored together with the kinetic aspects of the adsorption process to provide a comprehensive understanding.

    Abstract Palladium nanoparticles (Pd) combined with smart polymer microgels have attracted significant interest in the past decade. These hybrid materials have unique properties that make them appealing for various applications in biology, environmental remediation, and catalysis. The responsive nature of the microgels in these hybrids holds great promise for a wide range of applications. The literature contains diverse morphologies and architectures of Pd nanoparticle-based hybrid microgels, and the architecture of these hybrids plays a vital role in determining their potential uses. Therefore, specific Pd nanoparticle-based hybrid microgels are designed for specific applications. This report provides an overview of recent advancements in the classification, synthesis, properties, characterization, and uses of Pd nanostructures loaded into microgels. Additionally, the report discusses the latest progress in biomedical, catalytic, environmental, and sensing applications of Pd-based hybrid microgels in a tutorial manner.

    Abstract The unique combination of cobalt (Co) nanoparticles (NPs) and smart polymer microgels is of great interest and has received much attention over the past decade with respect to the production of hydrogen gas and its use in removing toxic dyes from water. The responsive behavior of microgels makes cobalt nanoparticle-loaded microgels most suitable for the production of hydrogen and for the reduction of pollutants in different environments. Different classes of Co NPs in microgels have been reported in the literature. Hybrid microgel formations play an important role in their use. Hence, a specific assembly of Co NPs in microgels has been designed for the synthesis and use of hydrogen to reduce toxic pollutants from water. All progress in the synthesis, classification, characterization, and applications of Co NPs in microgels has been reviewed in this report. Catalytic generation and the use of hydrogen for the reduction of pollutants in the presence of Co NPs loaded into microgels have been discussed in a tutorial manner.

    Abstract We report a case of pneumatocele and subsequent pneumothorax, 20 days after being treated for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and discharged. This 64-year-old patient was initially treated for COVID-19 pneumonia and pulmonary embolism (PE) over a two-week-long admission. He was discharged and then re-presented two days post-discharge with sudden exacerbation of breathlessness. Blood tests showed worsening inflammatory markers likely associated with bacterial infection, and imaging revealed multiple pneumatoceles and subsequent pneumothorax. Unfortunately, he rapidly deteriorated and passed away. This case report adds to the growing concern in the literature about the serious and life-threatening complications of COVID-19 infection and raises awareness of this rare complication.

    Abstract Carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) stoichiometry serve as valuable indices for plant nutrient utilization and biogeochemical cycling within ecosystems. However, the allocation of these nutrients among different plant organs and the underlying drivers in dynamic riparian ecosystems remain inadequately understood. In this study, we gathered plant samples from diverse life forms (annuals and perennials) and organs (leaves, stems, and roots) in the riparian zone of the Three Gorges Reservoir Region (TGRR) in China-a novel ecosystem subject to winter flooding. We used random forest analysis and structural equation modeling to find out how flooding, life forms, plant communities, and soil variables affect organs C, N, and P levels. Results showed that the mean concentrations of plant C, N, and P in the riparian zone of the TGRR were 386.65, 19.31, and 5.27 mg/g for leaves respectively, 404.02, 11.23, and 4.81 mg/g for stems respectively, and 388.22, 9.32, and 3.27 mg/g for roots respectively. The C:N, C:P and N:P ratios were 16.15, 191.7 and 5.56 for leaves respectively; 26.98, 273.72 and 4.6 for stems respectively; and 16.63, 223.06 and 4.77 for roots respectively. Riparian plants exhibited nitrogen limitation, with weak carbon sequestration, low nutrient utilization efficiency, and a high capacity for nutrient uptake. Plant C:N:P stoichiometry was significantly different across life forms and organs, with higher N and P concentrations in leaves than stems and roots, and higher in annuals than perennials. While flooding stress triggered distinct responses in the C, N, and P concentrations among annual and perennial plants, they maintained similar stoichiometric ratios along flooding gradients. Furthermore, our investigation identified soil properties and life forms as more influential factors than plant communities in shaping variations in C:N:P stoichiometry in organs. Flooding indirectly impacts plant C:N:P stoichiometry primarily through alterations in plant community composition and soil factors. This study underscores the potential for hydrologic changes to influence plant community composition and soil nutrient dynamics, and further alter plant ecological strategies and biogeochemical cycling in riparian ecosystems.
