Phytoremediation is a promising technology for the remediation of sites co-contaminated with inorganic (heavy metal) and organic pollutants. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate independent interactive effects cadmium (Cd) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on growth wetland plant Acorus calamus its ability uptake, accumulate, remove pollutants from soils. Our results showed that biomass A. were significantly influenced by interaction Cd PAHs after 60 days growth. The...
Purpose To evaluate the associations of sleep factors with myopia, spherical equivalent (SE), and axial length (AL) in elementary school-aged children from Growing Up Singapore Towards healthy Outcomes (GUSTO) birth cohort. Methods This cross-sectional study included multi-ethnic who participated GUSTO prospective cohort were delivered two major tertiary hospitals (2009–2010). Sleep myopia outcomes assessed at 8- 9-year visits, respectively. Parent-reported quality was Children's Habits...
Adverse health outcomes, including death from cardiovascular disease (CVD), arising chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) are well documented. Consumption of rice is a major iAs route for over 3 billion people, however, there still lack epidemiological evidence demonstrating the association between intake and CVD risks. We explored this potential through an ecological study using data at local authority level across England Wales. Local daily per capita (E-iAsing,rice) was estimated...
Abstract In the UK, consumption of rice and rice-based products is on rise but, notwithstanding public expressed concerns about such as an exposure route for arsenic (e.g., BBC News report, 2017 ‘Should I worry in my rice?') there are few, if any published data perceptions risks associated with to rice. We therefore aimed determine risk perception from intake factors that knowledge whether or not this had influence cooking practices. A questionnaire, targeting participation rice-eating...
Epidemiological studies have associated chronic exposure to arsenic (As) from drinking water with increased risk of hypertension. However, evidence an association between As food and hypertension risks is sparse. To quantify the daily intake both (rice, wheat potatoes) (Aswater) along total (Astotal) in a study population Bihar, India, we conducted individual level cross-sectional analysis 2017 2019 involving 150 participants. Arsenic variables three indicators (general hypertension,...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have been recognized as the most serious non-carcinogenic detrimental health outcome arising from chronic exposure to arsenic. Drinking arsenic contaminated groundwaters is a critical and common pathway for arsenic, notably in India other countries circum-Himalayan region. Notwithstanding this, there has hitherto dearth of data on likely impacts this CVD India. In study, mortality risks drinking groundwater with high (>10 μg/L) its constituent states,...
Although embankment reclamation is a recurring activity in the coastal wetlands of China, effect construction on plant growth has attracted little attention. Leaf carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus stoichiometry (C-N-P stoichiometry) can be used to reflect adaptation new environments created by reclamation. In present study we investigated biomass leaf C-N-P Spartina alterniflora Loisel., soil moisture, salinity, bulk density pH both embankment-reclaimed natural S. salt marshes eastern China....
Most urinary tract infections (UTIs) are self-limiting and frequently present in primary care; it is common for patients to seek symptom relief. The TARGET Treating Your Infection (TYI) leaflet was used respond UTI symptoms women under 65 years presenting community pharmacies. widespread use of these leaflets incentivised as part NHS England’s Pharmacy Quality Scheme (PQS) 2022–23, between October 2022 March 2023. TYI aimed support appropriate antibiotic antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) well...
Hypertension risks arising from chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) are well documented. Consumption of rice is a major iAs route for over 3 billion people; however, there lack epidemiological evidence demonstrating an association hypertension with intake rice, especially in areas where little drinking water but growing demand intake. To address this, we conducted individual-level cross-sectional analysis quantify the extent which daily and products (E-iAsing,rice) modifies between...
Anticoagulants are life-saving medicines that can prevent strokes for patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF) as well treating venous thromboembolism (VTE), but when used incorrectly, they frequently associated patient harm.
An estimated 1.27 million deaths globally were caused by antibiotic-resistant infections in 2019. Outcome 2 of the UK national action plan to combat antimicrobial resistance is improved public engagement and education with a specific measurable target. To evaluate compare years use TARGET antibiotic checklist England's community pharmacies via Pharmacy Quality Scheme (PQS). The was incentivized PQS for 2021-22 2023-24 patients presenting prescription pharmacy during 4 week period each year....
An understanding of trace metal pollution due to reclamation activities around Yancheng National Nature Reserve is important for the utilisation and management reserve surrounding coastal marine areas. In present study, we evaluated current state Cu, Cd, Pb Zn (total concentrations ecological risk), their potential hazard (availability index desorption rate) soil properties (cation exchange capacity, iron manganese oxide content, organic matter, salinity pH) in different land use types this...
