RESUMO
Water contamination is an escalating emergency confronting communities worldwide. While traditional adsorbents have laid the groundwork for effective water purification, their selectivity, capacity, and sustainability limitations have driven the search for more advanced solutions. Despite many technological advancements, economic, environmental, and regulatory hurdles challenge the practical application of advanced adsorption techniques in large-scale water treatment. Integrating nanotechnology, advanced material fabrication techniques, and data-driven design enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have led to a new generation of optimized, high-performance adsorbents. These advanced materials leverage properties like high surface area, tailored pore structures, and functionalized surfaces to capture diverse water contaminants efficiently. With a focus on sustainability and effectiveness, this review highlights the transformative potential of these advanced materials in setting new benchmarks for water purification technologies. This article delivers an in-depth exploration of the current landscape and future directions of adsorbent technology for water remediation, advocating for a multidisciplinary approach to overcome existing barriers in large-scale water treatment applications.
RESUMO
Disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome (DPDS) is a condition where there is a ductal disconnection between viable secreting distal pancreatic tissues and the gastrointestinal tract. It may follow acute or chronic pancreatitis, abdominal trauma, and pancreatic surgery, leading to necrosis or structural disintegration of the pancreatic duct. Aim: The aim of our study is to describe the imaging features of DPDS on ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) that helps in diagnosis.We present a case series of DPDS with their imaging features in two settings, one in the patient with acute necrotizing pancreatitis and the other with blunt abdominal trauma. Conclusion: Imaging plays a significant role in preoperative diagnosis. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography provides a comprehensive assessment of pancreatic duct integrity, and it shows its type and site of ductal disruption. It is a simple, effective noninvasive imaging modality in diagnosing pancreatic duct disruption. How to cite this article: Satyam S, Singh S, Sah PK.

RESUMO
Introduction: Arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) of the superior mesenteric vasculature are rare vascular abnormalities. It often occurs due to iatrogenic injuries during bowel resection or abdominal traumas. As the patient exhibits a variety of signs and symptoms and can present late, diagnosis may be difficult.Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is the most common modality for imaging the small bowel, vessels, and mesentery in patients with mesenteric ischemia. Case presentation: We present the case of a 25-year-old man who presented with features of acute intestinal obstruction and was operated on in an emergency. Resection of gangrenous small bowel and bowel adhesiolysis with double barrel ileostomy was performed. During exploratory laparotomy, gangrenous bowels were found, but no cause of mesenteric ischemia could be delineated. Finally, on computed tomography angiography (CTA) superior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula (SMAVF) with superior mesenteric vein (SMV) thrombosis was diagnosed. The patient was advised of aggressive anticoagulant therapy. Conclusion: Computed tomography angiography has become the most reliable diagnostic modality to confirm the diagnosis and guide the best treatment strategy.

RESUMO
Background: Necrotizing colitis (NC) with perforation is a rare complication of the obstructive cancer of the right colon. Case description: We report here a case of a 45-year-old female patient of mucinous adenocarcinoma of ascending colon, which presented as acute NC with perforation proximal to obstructing colonic carcinoma with their imaging features on computed tomography (CT). The purpose of this article is to highlight the role of CT in distinguishing an ischemic and a tumoral segment in the carcinomas complicated by proximal bowel ischemia. Conclusion: Imaging plays a great role in distinguishing an ischemic and a tumoral segment in carcinomas complicated by proximal bowel ischemia. The identification of NC will help to accurately stage colonic cancer. How to cite this article: Satyam S, Jain K, Pradhan G.
