Olive mill wastewater treatment using coagulation/flocculation and filtration processes.

Olive mill wastewater (OMWW), a pollutant resulting from the olive oil industry, poses a serious ecological challenge due to its high pollution load. This effluent is highly concentrated in chemical oxygen demand (COD), which is 200 times higher than that of sewage wastewater. Moreover, OMWW is characterized by a strong acidity, high content of fatty matter, and high concentration of phenolic compounds.

5hmC-profiles in Puerto Rican Hispanic/Latino men with aggressive prostate cancer.

Puerto Rican (PR) Hispanic/Latino (H/L) men are an understudied population that has the highest prostate cancer (PCa) specific mortality among other Hispanic populations. Little information is known about the higher mortality in PR H/L men. It is thought that epigenetic changes in key genes may play a critical role in aggressive tumors.

Decoding Cold Therapy Mechanisms of Enhanced Bone Repair through Sensory Receptors and Molecular Pathways.

Applying cold to a bone injury can aid healing, though its mechanisms are complex. This study investigates how cold therapy impacts bone repair to optimize healing. Cold was applied to a rodent bone model, with the physiological responses analyzed.

Utilizing machine learning to classify persistent organic pollutants in the serum of pregnant women: a predictive modeling approach.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), and per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that remain detrimental to critical subpopulations, namely pregnant women. Required tests for biomonitoring are quite expensive. Moreover, statistical models aiming to discover the relationships between pollutants levels and human characteristics have their limitations.
