Influence of High-Impact Physical Activity on Pelvic Floor and Lumbar Muscle Mechanical Properties in Asymptomatic Nulliparous Women.

Introduction And Hypothesis: High-impact physical activity is a known risk factor for the development of pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) in women, affecting the pelvic floor muscles (PFMs). However, there is insufficient information to determine whether alterations in PFMs, or even in the lumbar muscles, can be detected before the onset of symptoms. The aim of the study was to identify whether high-impact physical activity influences the muscle mechanical properties (MMPs) of the lumbopelvic region in continent nulliparous women.

An optimized electro-fenton pretreatment for the degradation and mineralization of a mixture of ofloxacin, norfloxacin, and ciprofloxacin.

The electro-Fenton process (EFP) is a powerful advanced oxidation process beneficial to treating recalcitrant contaminants, and there has been a continuing interest in combining this technology to enhance the efficiency of conventional wastewater treatment processes. In this work, an optimized EFP process is performed as pretreatment for the degradation and mineralization of three blank fluoroquinolones (FQs) drugs: ofloxacin (OFL), norfloxacin (NOR), and ciprofloxacin (CIP). The optimization of the experiment was carried out using a Box-Behnken experimental design.

Assessment of photo electro-Fenton and solar photo electro-Fenton processes for the efficient degradation of asulam herbicide.

The degradation of asulam herbicide by photo electro-Fenton (PEF) and solar photo electro-Fenton (SPEF) processes was studied using an undivided electrochemical BDD/carbon-felt cell to generate HO continuously. A central composite design combined with response surface methodology was applied to determine the optimal operating conditions of current intensity = 0.30 A, [Fe] = 0.
