Towards smart PFAS management: Integrating artificial intelligence in water and wastewater systems

Author(s): Yaghoobian S; An J; Jeong DW; Hwang JH;

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are increasingly integrated into Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) research; however, the field remains fragmented with substantial variation in modeling objectives. This review provides one of the most comprehensive and detailed syntheses to date of AI/ML methods across the PFAS contaminatio ...

Temporal and Sex-Related Differences in Knee Biomechanics Over the Course of the Varsity Athletic Season: Pre- and Postseason Knee Kinematics in Collegiate Varsity Athletes Using Kinect

Author(s): Joseph T; Babouras A; Zhao KY; Corban J; Martineau PA;

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears can be a source of significant morbidity, with the potential for career-altering implications for athletes who sustain them. Specific knee biomechanics during a drop vertical jump have been shown to be associated with an increased risk for ACL injury in collegiate varsity athletes. Presently, the evolutio ...

Pseudocapacitive MXene@Fe-TA ternary mediator enhances denitrification via optimized electron transfer and microbial regulation in wastewater treatment

Author(s): Pan S; Wang X; Guo T; An H; Guo Y; Chen Z; Lian J; Guo J;

Inefficient electron transfer is one of the main challenges in practical denitrification applications. To address this issue, a novel ternary mediator functional material (Mxene@Fe-TA) was successfully synthesized, which exhibited pseudocapacitive properties to facilitate electron mediation and distribution. Batch experiments revealed that 50 mg/L MXene@F ...

Unraveling "Feeling Bad" in a Non-Western Culture: Achievement Emotions in Japanese Medical Students

Author(s): Nomura O; Sunohara M; Akatsu H; Wiseman J; Lajoie SP;

Introduction: The Medical Emotion Scale has been translated into Japanese (J-MES) and validated for cross-cultural emotion research in medical education. However, its applicability for extracting Japanese cultural aspects of medical students' emotions has not been examined. This study aimed to explore the underlying latent constructs related to cultur ...

Viral Voices: Depictions of Women s Pain Experiences on Social Media

Author(s): Mazzocca K; Langmuir T; Manan J; Gagnon MM; Alberts NM;

TikTok is a popular social media platform increasingly used to disseminate health information and personal experiences, including among women with pain. Characterising health-related content can help understand how public perceptions are shaped and guide improvements in patient care. Although women with pain often seek information on social media, little ...

The Effect of the FIFA-11+ ACL Injury Prevention Program on Drop Vertical Jump Biomechanics in Varsity Athletes: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study

Author(s): Cierson T; Zhao K; Belkhelladi M; Babouras A; Jing J; Faith J; Corban J; Martineau PA;

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries can pose significant challenges for athletes, leading to significant morbidity, loss of playing time, and impaired performance. Neuromuscular training programs, such as the FIFA 11+, have shown promise in reducing the risk of lower extremity injuries in this high-risk population. Purpose/hypothesis: T ...

Utilizing large language models for detecting hospital-acquired conditions: an empirical study on pulmonary embolism

Author(s): Cheligeer C; Southern DA; Yan J; Wu G; Pan J; Lee S; Martin EA; Jafarpour H; Eastwood CA; Zeng Y; Quan H;

Objectives: Adverse event detection from Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) is challenging due to the low incidence of the event, variability in clinical documentation, and the complexity of data formats. Pulmonary embolism as an adverse event (PEAE) is particularly difficult to identify using exi ...

Radiation tolerance and biodegradation performance of a marine bacterium Acinetobacter sp. Y9 in radioactive composite oil-contaminated wastewater

Author(s): Yan J; Luo Q; Zhu B; Chen Z; Chen Q;

The tolerance and degradation characteristics of a marine oil-degrading strain Acinetobacter sp. Y9 were investigated in the presence of diesel oil and simulated radioactive nuclides (Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Sr2+, Cs+) at varying concentrations, as well as exposure to ?-ray radiation (Co-60). The maximum tolerable concentrations for Co2+and Ni2+ were found to b ...
