The impact of remote work on worker's health.

Remote work was brought to the forefront with the arrival of the COVID-19 public health emergency. Although there is no evidence of a direct cause-and-effect relationship between venous disease and work, the current medical consensus is that work can severely intensify its progression. Here, we report the case of a worker at a financial institution, who had been working remotely for around one year and had stopped exercising regularly for the same period.

Single nucleus transcriptomic analysis of rat nucleus accumbens reveals cell type-specific patterns of gene expression associated with volitional morphine intake.

Opioid exposure is known to cause transcriptomic changes in the nucleus accumbens (NAc). However, no studies to date have investigated cell type-specific transcriptomic changes associated with volitional opioid taking. Here, we use single nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNAseq) to comprehensively characterize cell type-specific alterations of the NAc transcriptome in rats self-administering morphine.

Tuberculosis, an unusual source - a case report.

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by bacteria in the complex. It can affect any organ, but the pulmonary form is the most common manifestation. Not only humans can be affected by tuberculosis, and animals are also commonly infected.

Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) Wastewater Treatment Using Polybenzimidazole (PBI) Hollow Fiber (HF) Membranes.

Polybenzimidazole (PBI) hollow fiber membranes were used to treat flue gas desulfurization (FGD) wastewater (WW) from a coal fired power plant. Membranes were tested using both single salt solutions and real FGD WW. The PBI membranes showed >99% rejection for single salt solutions of NaCl, MgCl, CaSO, and CaCl at approximately 2000 PPM (parts per million).
