Modelling the long-term dynamics and inhibitory effects of crude glycerol impurities in a methanogenic and sulfidogenic UASB bioreactor.

The performance of Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) bioreactors treating sulfate (SO) -rich effluents depends on multiple factors, including microbial interactions and operational conditions. The high complexity of these systems necessitates the use of mathematical modelling tools to better understand the process and predict the long-term impacts of various operational variables. In this work, a mathematical model describing the long-term operation of a sulfate-fed 2.

Thoracolumbar Fracture: A Natural History Study of Survival Following Injury.

Background: Fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine are increasingly common. Although it is known that such fractures may elevate the risk of near-term morbidity, the natural history of patients who sustain such injuries remains poorly described. We sought to characterize the natural history of patients treated for thoracolumbar fractures and to understand clinical and sociodemographic factors associated with survival.

Treatment of symptomatic bipartite patella in patients <21 years of age: A systematic review and treatment algorithm.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop an evidence-based algorithm for the management of symptomatic bipartite patella in the pediatric and adolescent population based on a systemic review of the published literature.

Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines on PubMed and Embase, selecting for studies discussing the management of symptomatic bipartite patella.

Results: Five studies met criteria, involving 315 knees (314 patients, average age 15.

Injection drug use is associated with repeat irrigation and debridement in native joint septic arthritis.

Background And Objective: Septic arthritis is an orthopaedic emergency that requires prompt irrigation and debridement (I&D). Some patients require a repeat I&D, which poses excessive burden on the patient and provider. The goal of this study was to identify possible risk factors for repeat I&D in the setting of native septic arthritis.

Neurophysiological approaches to exploring emotional responses to cosmetics: a systematic review of the literature.

Introduction: This systematic review explores the use of neurophysiological measurements to study emotional responses to cosmetic products. The aim is to evaluate existing literature on these measurements in cosmetics, identify the main findings, highlight methodological challenges, and propose new guidelines for future research.

Method: A systematic search focusing on neurophysiological measures to determine emotions induced by different cosmetic products was carried out in accordance with PRISMA guidelines.
