Article Synopsis
- Osteoporosis is a bone disease that increases fracture risk, and this study looked at how three fortified dairy products could affect bone mass in premenopausal women.
- The trial lasted 18 months, involving 210 participants who underwent regular tests to measure bone density and other markers.
- Results showed a decrease in bone mass at most sites, but a notable increase in lumbar spine T-score and Z-score, suggesting improved bone health, particularly linked to increased levels of a specific bone resorption marker (TRAP) after dairy product intake.
The objective of this study was to assess metal exposure in the Mediterranean Pond Turtle (Mauremys leprosa) inhabiting a watercourse in an ancient mining district polluted by different metals ("Rambla de Las Moreras", southeastern Spain) and included in the Ramsar Convention. For this purpose, mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) were analysed in blood samples from 42 M. leprosa healthy adults (27 males and 13 females).

A single nucleotide polymorphism at the trnL-trnF intergenic region of the chloroplast chromosome was confirmed in nine orange (Citrus sinensis) and thirteen commercial varieties of mandarin, including Citrus reticulata and Citrus unshiu species and a mandarin × tangelo hybrid. Two short minor-groove binding fluorescent probes targeting the polymorphic sequence were used in the dual-probe qPCR, which allowed the detection of both species in single-tube reactions.

It has a poor prognosis despite intensive chemotherapy treatment. A 57-year old woman with perianal Crohn's disease receiving azathioprine and infliximab developed this type of lymphoma after a short period of time on the treatment.
