Co-occurrence of arsenic and sewage pollutants in surface and groundwater and its implications for water treatment using membrane technology.

Arsenic (As) enrichment in groundwater stems from natural and hydrogeochemical factors, leading to geological contamination. Groundwater and surface water are interconnected, allowing As migration and surface water contamination. The As contamination poses health risks through contaminated water consumption.

Assessment of Inter- and Intrasurgeon Variability in Preoperative Planning of Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Multicenter Evaluation.

 To evaluate the intra and intersurgeon variability regarding the positioning and selection of implants in reverse shoulder arthroplasty.  A cross-sectional study assessed computed tomography images of the shoulder joint of patients diagnosed with degenerative joint diseases. The study team included seven specialists in shoulder surgery, representing six different institutions.

Evaluation of the accuracy and interobserver agreement of the reverse shoulder angle in the preoperative planning of reverse total shoulder arthroplasties.

Background: Differences in implant positioning between anatomical and reverse shoulder arthroplasties have raised concerns about the adequacy of assessing the global glenoid inclination (GGI) using the method described by Maurer to define the position of the metallic base in reverse shoulder arthroplasty. The reverse shoulder angle (RSA) has been proposed to measure the inclination of the lower half of the glenoid. This study aims to evaluate the interobserver agreement of manual measurements of the RSA using two-dimensional (2D) computed tomography (CT) images and its relationship with the automated measurement of the GGI.
