An analysis of oral contraceptive related videos on TikTok.

Background: TikTok has increasingly become a source of information about reproductive health. Patients seeking health information about oral contraception on TikTok may be influenced by videos containing misinformation or biased information.

Objective: This social media infodemiological study aims to provide a descriptive content analysis of the quality and reliability of oral contraceptive health information on TikTok.

Geospatial joint modeling of vector and parasite serology to microstratify malaria transmission.

The World Health Organization identifies a strong surveillance system for malaria and its mosquito vector as an essential pillar of the malaria elimination agenda. salivary antibodies are emerging biomarkers of exposure to mosquito bites that potentially overcome sensitivity and logistical constraints of traditional entomological surveys. Using samples collected by a village health volunteer network in 104 villages in Southeast Myanmar during routine surveillance, the present study employs a Bayesian geostatistical modeling framework, incorporating climatic and environmental variables together with salivary antigen serology, to generate spatially continuous predictive maps of biting exposure.

Arsenic removal adsorbent using limonite-polyethersulfone composite fiber via continuous flow column process.

This research introduces an enhanced limonite-based composite fiber adsorbent for arsenic (As) removal. The modification involves creating polyethersulfone (PES)-limonite composite fibers loaded with 60 wt% limonite powders, designed to be applicable in water flow environments. The fibers were prepared using a wet-spinning process based on phase inversion, with varying concentrations (10, 20, and 30 wt%) of PES in NMP solution.

Suppression of Hydrogen Sulfide Generation via the Coexistence of Anaerobic Sludge and Goethite-Rich Limonite/Polyethersulfone Composite Fibers.

Limonite-polyethersulfone (PES) composite fibers were prepared by the wet spinning method to suppress hydrogen sulfide (HS) generation from anaerobic microbial sludge. The HS adsorption of the prepared limonite composite fibers followed the Langmuir type, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 3.7-4.
