Background: Growing evidence indicates an association between ambient air pollution and decreased human reproductive potential. This study aims to systematically review the association between air pollutants and female ovarian reserve.
Methods: The literature was searched in six electronic databases through June 2024.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference (HC) impact the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), revealing opposing effects from these body fat distribution measurements.
- Analyzing data from nearly half a million adults in the UK Biobank, researchers found that both WC and body mass index (BMI) showed a positive correlation with CHD risk, while HC showed an inverse association when accounting for WC and BMI.
- These findings suggest that different forms of body fat distribution have distinct effects on CHD risk, likely working through both shared and unique physiological mechanisms.
Solid-state sodium ion conductors are crucial for the next generation of all-solid-state sodium batteries with high capacity, low cost, and improved safety. Sodium closo-carbadodecaborate (NaCB H ) is an attractive Na-ion conductor owing to its high thermal, electrochemical, and interfacial stability. Mechanical milling has recently been shown to increase conductivity by five orders of magnitude at room temperature, making it appealing for application in all-solid-state sodium batteries.
