Associated Behavioral Factors and Prevalence of the Common Anorectal Disease Among Uyghur Male Adults of China: A Population-Based Crosssectional Study.

We investigated the behavioral associated factors and prevalence of common anorectal disease (hemorrhoids, perianal pruritus, anal fistula, and others) among Uyghur male adults in southern Xinjiang. We conducted a cross-sectional study with a random sampling method from December 2020 to March 2021. Uyghur males aged 18 years and older were selected from Kashgar Prefecture in Xinjiang.

A Case of Surgical Removal of a Giant and Multiple Acquired Plate-Like Osteoma Cutis After Implantation of a Dilator.

Osteoma cutis (OC) is a group of rare skin ossification diseases, most of which are secondary to inflammation, scarring, trauma, or tumors, but a small portion are primary. Plate-like osteoma cutis is rare, especially after puberty. This report documents a case of a 30-year-old female, who presented with multiple stone-hard plates on the forehead and bilateral temples, with no relevant family history, or abnormalities in metabolism.

A short-term stimulation of ethanol enhances the effect of magnetite on anaerobic digestion.

Conductive iron oxides (CIO) have been proved recently to facilitate the anaerobic microbial syntrophy based on the direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) in batch experiments. However, the effect of CIO was always insignificant in anaerobic digestion (AD) reactor especially when the DIET-based syntrophic partners were absent. In this study, the effect of magnetite on performance of AD system with sucrose as a sole carbon source was investigated, but limited enhancement was achieved during the first 36-day operation.
