Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 46 patients over 12 years found a 63% complication rate, with periprosthetic joint infections being the most common reason for revisions.
- * Serum silver levels showed an initial increase after surgery, followed by fluctuations, and higher levels were associated with the development of infections, indicating potential risks of prolonged exposure.
Background Arsenic-related cardiovascular effects at exposure levels below the US Environmental Protection Agency's standard of 10 μg/L are unclear. For these populations, food, especially rice, is a major source of exposure. We investigated associations of rice intake, a marker of arsenic exposure, with subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) markers in a multiethnic population.

Objectives: We aimed to assess the relation of arsenic exposure during pregnancy with immune function and hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection, defined as seroconversion during pregnancy and postpartum.
Methods: We assessed IgG seroconversion to HEV between 1st and 3rd trimester (TM) and 3 months postpartum (PP) among 1100 pregnancies in a multiple micronutrient supplementation trial in rural Bangladesh.
Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is employed to characterize the inner structure and shape of aqueous nanocrystalline cellulose suspensions using the generalized indirect Fourier transformation (GIFT). The use of the GIFT approach provides a single fitting procedure for the determination of intra- and interparticle interactions due to a simultaneous treatment of the form factor P(q) and the structure factor S(q). Moreover, GIFT allows for the determination of particle charges and polydispersity indices.

Methods: A novel standardized collection and quantification system for oral fluid testing was evaluated. Sample collection volumes were determined.
