19 idiopathic recurrent calcium stone formers were examined on a constant diet supplemented with mineral water of high (386 mg/l) and low (10 mg/l) calcium content. The effects of calcium and oxalate loading were studied separately. Ingestion of mineral water with high calcium content lead to an increase of urinary calcium and a decrease of urinary oxalate compared to mineral water with low calcium content. On the calcium-rich mineral water, urinary saturation with Whewellite was lower and it hardly reached the critical level for calcium oxalate crystallization after oxalate loading, which was in contrast to the results on low calcium mineral water. Urinary Brushite saturation was generally low and showed no significant differences between the two mineral waters.

The direct discharge of cationic surfactants into environmental matrices has exponentially increased due to their wide application in many products. These compounds and their degraded products disrupt microbial dynamics, hinder plant survival, and affect human health. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop electroanalytical assessment techniques for their identification, determination, and monitoring.

Bond strength between repair and restorative materials is crucial for endodontic success. This study assessed the effects of the following final irrigation solutions on the bond strength of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) to a bulk-fill composite: (1) 17% Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA); (2) 2% Chlorhexidine (CHX); (3) 0.2% chitosan; (4) 0.

The extraction of mineral deposits is often associated with the occurrence of acid mine drainage (AMD), which can persist even after mine closure due to remaining sulfide minerals. This study investigates a 200-year-old abandoned mine and its impacts on nearby water resources. The study area is well known for Kuroko ore deposits located upstream of spring and river water resources.

Background: The body composition of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) athletes is well documented but no such data exist for university club sports athletes. Additionally, the majority of norms for NCAA athletes were created from individual methods requiring assumptions.
Objective: This study used a four-component (4C) model to measure the body composition of university club sports athletes.

The coexistence of microplastics and heavy metals in soil can lead to more intricate environmental effects. While plant growth-promoting bacteria have been widely recognized for enhancing the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils, little research has been conducted to investigate whether they can alleviate the stress of microplastic-heavy metal composite contamination on plants. We investigated the effects of isolated and screened plant growth-promoting bacteria on the growth and cadmium (Cd) accumulation of under the composite pollution of Cd and polypropylene (PP) with different particle sizes (6.
