Assessing sustainability of microalgae-based wastewater treatment: Environmental considerations and impacts on human health.

An integrated life cycle assessment (LCA) and quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) were conducted to assess microalgae-mediated wastewater disinfection (M-WWD). M-WWD was achieved by replacing ultraviolet disinfection with a microalgal open raceway pond in an existing sewage treatment plant (STP) in India. Regarding impacts on human health, both M-WWD and STP yielded comparable life cycle impacts, around 0.

Linking Generalized Ligamentous Laxity to Musculoskeletal Injury: A Study in the Indian Population.

Introduction Generalized ligamentous laxity (GLL) is defined as an increased range of motion across multiple joints in an individual beyond the mean range of motion in the general population, with a reported prevalence between 5% and 15%. It becomes less common with age and is more common in females and in the lower limbs. Musculoskeletal injury (MSI) is damage to musculoskeletal systems, usually due to strenuous activity.

A Prospective Comparative Study of the Functional Outcomes of Patellar Resurfacing Versus Non-resurfacing in Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Background and objective Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a highly successful surgical procedure. However, there is a lack of consensus about whether to resurface the patella or not. This study was aimed at evaluating the outcome of patellar resurfacing in terms of a decrease in the incidence of anterior knee pain after TKA and assessing whether patellar resurfacing is beneficial in improving functional outcomes.
