Effective hand hygiene reduces the risk of meat contamination and the transmission of foodborne disease Clean hands are essential to health and effective handwashing is one of the simplest ways to prevent the spread of germs. Hand hygiene is particularly important in minimizing food safety risks along food animal chains, as there are many diseases that can be transmitted to humans from polluted ...
This technology enables specific degradation of proteins in different cells and tissues, thereby optimizing and maximizing the therapeutic window, reducing the side effects of broad-spectrum PROTACs, and increasing their potential as drugs or chemical tools. ...
When we talk about intestinal bacteria or dietary fiber, we often hear about "short-chain fatty acids". So what exactly are short-chain fatty acids? Based on the number of carbon atoms in the carbon chain, fatty acids with less than 6 carbon atoms are commonly referred to as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), those with 6 to 12 carbon atoms are called medium-chain fatty acids, and those with 12 or ...
In the process of preparing drugs into liquid preparations, a common problem is that most drugs are poorly soluble in water. According to statistics, among more than 200 listed oral drugs, insoluble drugs account for about 40%. ...
To gain a clear picture, water for industrial use represents a significant part of global water demand and if nothing is done to improve efficiency, the global water demand would be 40% more than the accessible, reliable supply by 2030 according to the Water Resources ...
Beneficial bacteria are a natural solution for improving water quality in ponds, lakes, reservoirs, and canals. Beneficial microorganisms that are naturally present in the aquatic environment are typically at low levels, so they work much slower at reducing nutrients to maintain water quality. Aquatron and Waste and Sludge Reducer contains two billion bacteria per gram. At this elevated ...
Swimming in lakes and oceans is popular, but little is known about the demographic characteristics, behaviors, and health risks of beachgoers on a national level. Data from a prospective cohort study of beachgoers at multiple marine and freshwater beaches in the USA were used to describe beachgoer characteristics and health outcomes for swimmers and non-swimmers. This analysis included 54,250 ...
Previously, our earlier work demonstrated the use of structural equation modeling to evaluate the effectiveness of point-of-use biosand filters (BSF) to reduce the occurrence of diarrhea in rural Guatemala. While prior research in laboratory and field locations has documented the effectiveness of BSF to remove agents of diarrhea, experience in field sites suggests that multiple local factors ...
It is rarely reported that the interaction between xenobiotics and algae may cause potential water quality risks and affect the drinking water treatment process. In the present study, a bench-scale jar test was performed to investigate the effects of the interaction between nitrobenzene (NB) and Microcystis aeruginosa on the performance of coagulation-sedimentation by comparing differences in ...
The global increase in detection of cyanobacteria and their metabolites has prompted greater emphasis in optimizing water treatment options for their effective removal. In particular, conventional coagulation and clarification processes have been shown to be effective in removing whole cyanobacterial cells, and consequently a majority of the metabolites. ...
An estimated 1.1 billion persons worldwide lack access to an improved water source. Hundreds of millions more drink contaminated water from improved sources because of unsafe water treatment and distribution systems and unsafe water storage and handling practices. The health consequences of inadequate water and ...
