Objectives: The goal of this systematic review was to critically appraise the existing evidence evaluating osteoporosis' effects on dental implant osseointegration and survival rate.

Data Source: A search was conducted in two databases, PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus, until October 2024, using the keywords 'osteoporosis,' 'osteopenia,' 'osseointegration,' and 'dental implants'. The inclusion criteria were clinical studies that evaluated the implant placement, complications, and osseointegration results in patients with osteoporosis; literature reviews and clinical studies addressing the outcome were considered; and articles written in English and published since 2000.

Article Synopsis
  • Carbon neutrality is crucial for wastewater treatment plants due to their high greenhouse gas and odor emissions, prompting the exploration of new solutions.
  • A new modular biotechnology was developed, achieving impressive removal efficiency for pollutants like toluene (99.9%) while also enabling CO biofixation.
  • The findings highlight the system's adaptability and potential as an innovative, sustainable technology for improving air quality and reducing emissions in WWTPs.

Article Synopsis
  • Wastewater treatment plants are significant sources of microplastics in the environment, prompting research into more effective treatment methods.
  • This study evaluated a novel living membrane bioreactor (LMBR) and its electrochemically enhanced version (e-LMBR), which showed similar effectiveness in removing polyethylene microplastics compared to conventional methods, but with slight differences due to electrochemical processes.
  • The e-LMBR maintained high contaminant removal efficiencies, including organic matter and nutrients, and demonstrated lower fouling rates despite increased microplastic concentrations in the treatment system.

Fluorescent brightening agent OB-1 (OB-1) is often used in plastic goods because of its non-toxic nature, chemical stability, remarkable heat resistance, and light stability. Raw OB-1 is challenging to use in textiles using the exhaustion method. This study used a novel method using raw OB-1 powder to whiten polyester fabric in water and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5).
