Formation of Biofilm and Degradation Processes of Resilient and Green Materials: A Field Study and Novel Perspectives

Coatings, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(2), С. 125 - 125

The surface material’s nature can influence the formation of biofilms. Environmentally friendly materials such as linoleum, derived from organic sources, have emerged to address need balance ecological requirements with practical considerations, particularly in sectors where hygiene is critical importance, sports and healthcare. Nevertheless, even appropriate utilization, these deteriorate over time, resulting proliferation harmful microbes. Metagenomic analyses were conducted identify microbiota responsible for chromatic variation (n = 4) observed on a linoleum sample immersed water. Subsequently, data correlated spectroscopic via microNIR. preliminary investigations did not establish role abiotic components processes discoloration. bacterial formed surfaces was characterized, indicating potential biotic degradation linoleum. Data exploration obtained acquisitions through principal component analysis produced clustering matrix into four subgroups, corresponding variations. appear indicate mechanisms which origin are subject. Furthermore, they suggest that personalized functionalization could support effective replacement One Health perspective traditional materials.

Prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in high-risk populations at low, intermediate, high altitudes: a population based cross-sectional study in Yunnan Province, China

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 25(1)

Опубликована: Март 18, 2025

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represents a significant public health challenge. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiological characteristics of COPD across different altitudes and evaluate potential influence altitude on its prevalence high-risk populations. cross-sectional employed multi-stage randomized cluster sampling method enrolled 11,095 adult residents aged ≥ 20 years at elevations in Yunnan Province, China. Screening questionnaires identified individuals among participants, who then underwent function tests. was diagnosed based post-bronchodilator test results. We utilized multivariate logistic regression models examine association between while controlling for demographic variables, lifestyle factors, characteristics. A total 2,252 (20.3%) were group. The populations increased with age low, intermediate, high areas. patients high-altitude areas had higher ethnic minorities biomass fuel exposure. Conversely, proportion severe stages (GOLD III-IV) notably lower regions. Logistic revealed be significantly than low altitudes, odds ratios 0.538(95% CI: 0.343–0.844), 0.470(95% 0.289–0.766), 0.518 (95% 0.316–0.848) Models 1, 2, 3, respectively (all P < 0.05). is lowest regions an independent factor negatively associated COPD.

Early detection for elderly people with musculoskeletal aging related diseases based on artificial intelligence model

Research Square (Research Square), Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Апрель 16, 2025

Late-diagnosis is one of the main bottlenecks in musculoskeletal aging-related diseases prevention, and it urgent to build early detection model. Twenty-two features were included models based on binary multiple classification respectively by XGBoost. In testing, accuracy rate (63.74%~92.40%) AUC (0.74 ~ 0.96) binary-classification higher than (61.40% ~85.96%) (0.63 0.86) multiple-classification models. The optimal model had an 87.13% 0.92 including cooking, drinking milk, electronic devices use time, dental implant, decay, professional oral cleaning, falls past year, life satisfaction, degree pain or discomfort, indoor air improvement, drinking, body mass index, time spent indoors, grip grouping, SARC-F calf girth grouping bone density examination. elderly, can be detected epidemiological factors.

Impact of occupational exposures in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: current understanding and knowledge gaps

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Ноя. 20, 2024

Purpose of review Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is thought as a caused by tobacco exposure, but numerous occupational exposures have been identified risk factors for development and exacerbations, although these remain underappreciated underdiagnosed. We highlight evidence how they relate to COPD, while also looking at gaps in the changing workplace might affect COPD landscape. Recent findings Historical linked included inorganic dusts like coal silica organic cotton wood. Other data associated agricultural exposures, cleaning agents, air pollution, construction work with COPD. As has evolved include more from home growing industries ridesharing delivery, items radon indoor outdoor quality must be factored into equation potential cause increase its morbidity. Despite this, causal conclusions many are challenging due complex interaction between patient susceptibilities environmental factors, both occupation-related nonoccupation related. Summary Additional studies needed, not only better evaluate pathogenesis, look solution-oriented areas precision medicine interventions targeting healthier workplace.
