Dietary Factors Drive Volatile Organic Compound Exposure and Modulate Its Impact on Multi-Dimensional Biological Aging. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrIn 4976 U.S. adults from NHANES 2011–2020, dietary factors influenced urinary volatile organic compound metabolites (VOCMs) and modified their associations with multi‐dimensional biological aging. Multiple VOCMs were positively associated with biological age indicators, with KDMAgeAccel being the most sensitive marker.

Quantitative Assessment of the Effects of Scatter Radiation on Image Quality During Extremity Radiography at a Leading Tertiary Hospital in Ghana: An Experimental Pilot Study. [PDF]
Health Sci RepABSTRACT Background and Aims There is a potential increase in scatter radiation during extremity radiography, where radiographers may divide the detector to obtain multiple images on one film. This study assesses the impact of scatter radiation on image quality (IQ) during the dividing receptor technique in extremity radiography at the Korle‐Bu ...

Domestic urban water rate structure and water prices in Mallorca, Balearic Islands
Boletín de la Asociación de Geógrafos Españoles, 2018 Water rate structures were analysed to assess water prices per unit of water consumed in the domestic urban sector. Water prices and variability are set in spatial context and patterns are analysed on the background of municipal urban and tourist ...
