Energy-efficient Production of Plasma-Activated Water: Insights into Controllable Peroxynitrite Chemistry Pathogenic bacteria pose a continuous threat to human health. Plasma-activated water (PAW), produced by the interaction between cold atmospheric plasma and water, shows great potential as a broad-spectrum disinfectant towards pathogenic bacteria, among others.

Background The risk of biochemical recurrence (BCR) in prostate cancer (PCa) is typically assessed using D'Amico score. However, iron and fat content in PCa are closely related to tumor cell proliferation and the risk of BCR may be estimated using multiparametric MRI (mpMRI). Purpose To noninvasively estimate fat and iron content in PCa and to evaluate their utility in enhancing D'Amico scores for predicting BCR in PCa patients.
