Removal of Congo Red from Aqueous Solution by Waste Banana Pith
The ability of waste banana pith to remove Congo red from aqueous solution
was investigated. Various parameters such as initial dye concentration, contact
time, adsorbent dosage and pH effect were studied. The adsorption rate
constant was found to be 1 X 10.1 min'} at 50 mg I-I dye concentration. Above
92% removal was observed in the pH range 2-11. The removal of dye by banana
pith is mostly due to chemisorption

Suture granuloma masquerading as primary ovarian malignancy: a case report
Suture granuloma is an uncommon surgical complication comprising of foreign body granulomatous tissue reaction against the suture material. We present a case of ovarian suture granulomas in a 28-year-old female who was clinico-radiologically misdiagnosed as ovarian carcinoma. She presented with intermittent pelvic pain, on and off low-grade fever and menstrual irregularities for 6 months and had undergone laparoscopic tubectomy two years back. Ultrasonographic findings were suspicious of left ovarian malignancy. CA-125 levels were elevated (115 U/mL). Left oophoro-salpingectomy was performed and histopathological examination revealed multiple suture-related granulomas
