Investigating the Fate of Tetracycline in an Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor and Its Effects on Antibiotic Resistance Gene Proliferation from Different Membrane Types by Zeeb, Reem

“…The contribution of adsorption of tetracycline to the biofilm layer developed on each of the three membranes to removal was negligible. For ARGs, an increase in the abundance of tet-associated iARGs, with variation depending on the membrane pore size, was detected in the effluent, in opposition to tet-associated eARGs and non-tet ARGs which did not show an interpretable response to tetracycline.…”

Associations between Bone Mineral Density and WOMAC Scores in Healthy Individuals: Insights from the Qatar Biobank by Al-Hamdani, Mohammed

“…Multiple linear regression was used to examine associations between sociodemographic factors, total body BMD and BMD related to specific skeletal sites (including femoral (femoral neck and trochanter), trunk, pelvis and total spine), and the three WOMAC subscales (pain, stiffness, and physical function).Results: After controlling for sociodemographic variables, total body and specific BMD measures did not predict pain. However, BMD measures significantly contributed to predicting stiffness after controlling for sociodemographic variables (R2 = 0.065, ΔF(7, 1724) = 3.34, p = 0.002), with a higher total body BMD associated with increased stiffness and a higher trunk BMD associated with decreased stiffness. …”
