The current study investigates groundwater contamination in Darrang district, situated in the flood-prone Brahmaputra Valley. This research evaluates the concentrations and geospatial distributions of iron, fluoride, and arsenic in groundwater samples (n = 347) and assesses their potential ecotoxicological risks to human health. Multivariate statistical techniques were used to investigate the sources and the mobilization mechanism of the contaminants in the aquifer system.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how a 3D printed crown material with lower flexural strength but higher ductility impacts enamel wear and fatigue resistance compared to lithium disilicate crowns.
  • The research involved testing both materials in a wear and fatigue testing device using human molar teeth to assess wear and durability over millions of cycles.
  • Results showed that lithium disilicate caused more wear to opposing enamel than the 3D printed material, but both types of restorations exhibited no internal cracks after extensive fatigue testing, indicating similar fracture resistance under load.

Globally, Alzheimer's disease is an urgent public health concern with the ageing population in developing nations. Recent studies have identified isosteroidal alkaloids as promising therapeutic agents for Alzheimer's treatment. Fritillaria species are well-known rich sources of steroidal and isosteroidal alkaloids.

Synthesis of a 12-lead electrocardiogram from a reduced lead set has previously been extensively studied in order to meet patient comfort, minimise complexity, and enable telemonitoring. Traditional methods relied solely on the inter-lead correlation between the standard twelve leads for learning the models. The 12-lead ECG possesses not only inter-lead correlation but also intra-lead correlation.
