To determine the internal phosphorus load (IPL) as a function of redox potential (Eh) in a Mexican reservoir, the results from a phosphorus (P) release experiment were extrapolated to temporal and spatial variations of Eh in sediments, and an IPL-Eh of 24.2 ± 2.5 t/yr was obtained. This result is compared with the P mass balance (MB) in the reservoir, where the IPL-MB is determined as the difference between P inputs to the reservoir and the outputs. Inputs of P are the sum of the external P load from the hydrological basin, the IPL, and P in atmospheric precipitation; outputs of P are the sum of sedimented P, and the removal of P in water and biomass, and the resulting IPL-MB, is 26.4 ± 4.9 t/yr. In addition, P concentrations in sediment cores (SCs) are analyzed, and the historical release of P from sediments determined, resulting in an IPL-SC of 23.5 ± 1.4 t/yr. The different IPL results are similar, as average values are within the standard deviation of IPL-MB. It is concluded that analysis of the variations in Eh in sediments allows determination of the reservoir's IPL. Six-weekly IPL-Eh and IPL-MB values are analyzed, and it can be seen that IPL occurs mainly during the period from May to August, when the water column is thermally stratified.

Geography, Trajectories, and Controls of Coastal Water Quality: More Rapid Improvement in the Shallow Zone of the Chesapeake Bay.

Many coastal ecosystems have suffered from cultural eutrophication and dead zones. In the Chesapeake Bay, water quality degradation is manifested in low dissolved oxygen, poor water clarity, and decreased submerged aquatic vegetation acreage. This research combines long-term monitoring data, science-based assessment methods, and novel data analysis approaches (i.

Halogenated organic pollutants (HOPs) have attracted considerable attention owing to their persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity. The development of methods to detect HOPs in fish is challenging owing to the compositional complexity of fish matrices, which contain high levels of lipids and relatively low concentrations of HOPs. In addition, the lipophilicity of most HOPs renders their extraction difficult.

Data is the core foundation of intelligent operation and maintenance, but currently, there is generally insufficient data for wastewater treatment plants, and the status of wastewater treatment systems dynamically evolves with the changes in the internal and external environment. The intelligent operation and maintenance of wastewater plants face difficulties in modeling and model drift caused by system evolution. In response to this issue, the summer and winter seasons with significant differences in wastewater temperature, wastewater quality, and microbial status were selected as typical comparison scenarios.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has shown a growing association with osteoporosis, comprising part of the broader CKD-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). CKD-MBD is marked by alterations in calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and vitamin D metabolism, significantly elevating fracture risk. While traditional osteoporosis treatments such as bisphosphonates, denosumab, and teriparatide have been adapted for CKD patients, recent innovations have introduced agents aimed at enhancing bone mass and reducing fracture incidence.

Severe hypophosphataemia and hypocalcaemia following intravenous ferric derisomaltose and denosumab administration.

BMJ Case Rep

December 2024

Division of Endocrinology, Department of Medicine, Jewish General Hospital, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Serum calcium and phosphorus levels are tightly regulated by the calciotropic hormone parathyroid hormone, fibroblast growth factor 23 and 1,25(OH) vitamin D. Commonly prescribed therapies for iron-deficiency anaemia (IDA) such as ferric carboxymaltose and ferric derisomaltose (FDM) have been shown to disrupt phosphorus homeostasis, resulting in hypophosphataemia. Similarly, denosumab use can result in hypocalcaemia due to the inhibition of osteoclastic maturation, activity and survival.
