 = 76.96%) were found to be significantly associated with EBF. We also observed an inverse dose-response relationship of EBF with educational status and income. However, EBF was not significantly associated with parity, media exposure, and paternal educational status.

In this meta-analysis, we showed the relevant effect of maternal education, income, and marital status on EBF. Therefore, multifaceted, effective, and evidence-based efforts are needed to increase the national level of exclusive breastfeeding in Ethiopia.

We conducted a cross-sectional evaluation of 92 adult PWH at University Hospital Center Zagreb. The primary objective was to investigate the frequency of urolithiasis in adult PWH, and the secondary objective was to determine associated risk factors. Urolithiasis was diagnosed by ultrasound and other patient- and hemophilia-related parameters were recorded. The prevalence of urolithiasis was significantly higher among PWH than the reported prevalence in the general Croatian population (10.9% vs 5.9%; P = 0.042). Similarly, the incidence of urolithiasis during the course of the disease was significantly higher than the estimated cumulative lifetime incidence of urolithiasis in the Croatian population (25% vs 12%; P = 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that arterial hypertension, the presence of inhibitors, hypercalciuria and hyperbilirubinemia were independent predictors of current urolithiasis (P  less then  0.05), and that hematuria (P = 0.051) and prior urinary infections (P = 0.059) were also relevant factors.Urolithiasis is a significant burden in adult PWH. Identifying associated risk factors might help in establishing strategies for earlier recognition and more successful prevention and treatment of urolithiasis.Patients with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) have a poorer prognosis than those with other subtypes of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). To investigate the relationship between gene mutations and the prognosis of Japanese PMF patients, we analyzed mutations in 72 regions located in 14 MPN-relevant genes (CSF3R, MPL, JAK2, CALR, DNMT3A, TET2, EZH2, ASXL1, IDH1/2, SRSF2, SF3B1, U2AF1, and TP53) utilizing a target resequencing platform. In our cohort, ASXL1 mutations were more frequently detected in both overt and prefibrotic PMF patients than other mutations. The frequency of ASXL1 mutations was slightly higher among overt PMF patients than among prefibrotic PMF patients (44.6% vs 25.0%, FDR = 0.472). Decision tree classification algorithms revealed that ASXL1, EZH2, and SRSF2 mutations were associated with a poor prognosis for overt PMF. Overall survival was significantly shorter in patients harboring ASXL1, EZH2, or SRSF2 mutations than in those without these mutations (p = 0.03). These results suggest that, as reported in Western countries, MIPSS70 is applicable to Japanese PMF patients and ASXL1, EZH2, and SRSF2 mutations may be utilized as surrogate markers of a poor prognosis.Landscape patterns have a substantial effect on non-point source (NPS) pollution in watersheds. Facilitating sustainable development of mountain-rural areas is a major priority for China. Knowledge of the impacts of various landscapes on water quality in these areas is critical to meeting environmental goals. This study applied the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to create a hydrologic and water quality model of the study watershed; then, the relationship between water quality and landscape patterns was investigated using multiple linear regression and redundancy analysis. The results show that the western sub-basins had higher nitrogen pollution loads, and the total nitrogen concentration reached a maximum value of 3.91 mg/L; the eastern sub-basins had a higher pollution load of phosphorous featured by maximum total phosphorous concentration of 2.15 mg/L. The water quality of the entire watershed in all scenarios tended to deteriorate over time. Landscape metrics accounted for 81.7% of the total variation in pollutant indicators. The percentage of forest landscape was negatively correlated with NPS pollution, while other types of landscape showed a positive correlation. The patch density, landscape shape index, and largest patch index of urban and agricultural lands were negatively correlated with pollutant concentrations. Upland landscapes contributed more pollutants than paddy fields. Some measures, e.g., returning grassland and farmland to forest in steep regions and replacing upland crops with paddy fields, were recommended for mitigating NPS pollution in the study watershed.A Co-Mn binary metal oxide-modified layered MCM-22 zeolite was designed to capture gaseous elemental mercury (Hg0) from SO2-containing flue gas. The physicochemical properties of the Co-Mn/MCM-22 zeolite were characterized by XRD, FESEM, TEM, and XPS, and the results showed that MnO2 was highly dispersed on the surface and in the channel of MCM-22 zeolite. Selleck AMG 232 Co3O4 was loaded onto the surface of the MCM-22 zeolite via the stepwise ion exchange method to prevent SO2 poisoning of the MnO2 active site. The Hg0 removal efficiency increased from 54 to 83% at 300 °C with 10% Co loading on the 5% Mn/MCM-22 zeolite when 200 ppm of SO2 was introduced to the flue gas. The mechanism of Hg0 removal was mainly associated with catalytic oxidation and chemisorption. Mn4+ was the main active site for catalytic oxidation of Hg0 to Hg2+, and the surface adsorbed oxygen re-oxidized Mn3+ and combined with Hg2+ to form Hg-O-Mn, in which Mn acted as a bridge. Co3+ preferentially reacted with SO2 to form CoSO4, thereby protecting the Mn active sites for Hg0 capture. Therefore, Co-Mn/MCM-22 zeolite is a promising sorbent for the removal of Hg0 and SO2 resistance from SO2-containing flue gas.
