Notes

Variability inside waxy (Wx) allele, in-vitro starchy foods digestibility, glycemic response along with textural conduct associated with well-known Northern Himalayan rice versions.
The existing evidence is not enough to draw definitive conclusions due to the heterogenous reported outcomes and parameters. Future investigation with standardized outcome measures and specific protocols are needed to draw conclusions on patients' physical function, so BFRT can be used more effectively in clinical rehabilitation practice.

To explore the correlation between joint hypermobility and risk of musculoskeletal injuries in a university-aged population.

Cross-sectional study using an anonymous survey.

Anatomy & Physiology lab.

816 undergraduate Anatomy & Physiology students at a university in the United States.

Beighton score, self-reported musculoskeletal injuries.

Athletically active study respondents reported more musculoskeletal injuries than respondents who indicated not being athletically active. Female respondents had lower rates of self-reported injuries than male respondents (55.4% vs. 65.5%; p=0.0099; odds ratio 1.53). The most commonly reported injury type for both women and men were quadriceps, groin and hamstring injuries. Neither male nor female respondents with generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) or localized joint hypermobility (LJH) reported higher rates of musculoskeletal injuries.

Athletically active young adults are at greater risk for sustaining musculoskeletal injuries; however, there is no additional increase in injury risk for young people with GJH or LJH.

In this study, we investigated tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) of Ornithodoros (Carios) sawaii and a newly identified Ornithodoros species from migratory bird nests in the uninhabited islands of the Republic of Korea (ROK). Ticks were collected from seabird nests with soil using a Tullgren funnel. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed using specific primer sets targeting genes of Borrelia spp., Rickettsia sp., Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Anaplasma bovis, and Bartonella spp. for molecular identification of TBPs, and two pathogens, Borrelia sp. and Rickettsia sp. were detected via PCR. Sequence data were analyzed and a phylogenetic analysis was conducted using the maximum-likelihood method in MEGA v.7. The detection rate of Borrelia sp. in O.(C.) sawaii was 6.8 % (5/74), and that of Rickettsia sp. in O. sawaii and the newly identified Ornithodoros species. was 36.5 % (27/74). Sequencing analysis revealed that the 16S ribosomal (r) RNA and flagellin genes of Borrelia sp., and the citrate synthase (gltA) and 17-kDa antigen gene of Rickettsia sp. were closely phylogenetically related to those of Borrelia turicatae and Rickettsia asembonensis. This is the first report identifying Borrelia sp. and Rickettsia sp. from O. sawaii, and Rickettsia sp. from the newly identified Ornithodoros species in the ROK, and these results imply that soft ticks (O. sawaii, and the newly identified Ornithodoros species) may function as pathogen carriers with important implications for public health throughout their distribution areas in Asia.Opaque PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) was recently introduced as a dairy packaging, mainly for milk bottles. Opaque PET, obtained as PET filled with mineral nanoparticles, allows for a reduction of bottles' thickness, thus a cost reduction for industrials. For this reason, the use of opaque PET is steadily increasing. However, its recyclability is nowadays an issue although the recycling channels are well established for transparent PET, the presence of opaque PET in the household wastes weakens the existing recycling channels. Besides, many initiatives are launched in Europe to turn wastes into resources, as one key to a more circular economy. One of the biggest challenges is an efficient sorting of the plastic solid wastes since the PET is not miscible with other plastics such as polypropylene (PP) from the bottle caps and polyethylene (PE) from the other milk bottles. In this work, the mechanical properties of uncompatibilized blends of opaque PET (rPET-O) with recycled polypropylene (rPP) have been studied; both are collected from household wastes. The tensile properties and the fatigue life of rPP, monitored by in-situ digital image correlation and in-situ infrared thermography, are increased by the incorporation of rPET-O. rPET-O/rPP blends may be substituted to rPP for similar applications, with no need to sort the caps from the bottles. Thus, as a concept, the incorporation of opaque PET into the PP recycling sector may be a new route to absorb some of the growing amounts of opaque PET.Bottom ash (BA) is the dominant residue derived from the incineration of municipal solid waste or refuse-derived fuel (RDF). Costs for the disposal of the material chiefly depend on the leachability of salts and trace metals which may be cut by ageing the BA for several months to promote carbonation via uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2). Ebselen chemical structure Enhanced exposure to CO2 sources has been referred to as accelerated carbonation. Here we report on the successful implementation of the accelerated carbonation of BA in a continuously fed full-scale rotating drum reactor. The reactor was operated with the fine fraction ( less then 20 mm) of BA from an RDF incinerator and the exhaust of a combined heat and power unit was used as the reactant gas. The system was tested in 15 experiments and the process efficiency was addressed by maximizing the reactor loading and minimizing the BA residence time. Results confirmed that the reactor loading depended on the rotation-normalized mass flow rate of BA where the slope and intercept of the characteristic varied with the design of the reactor discharge and the use of mixing tools.
