Use of dietary supplements by children and adolescents
CONCLUSION: Despite having specific indications, most of the time they are not prescribed by a healthcare professional. The reasons for use are varied. In children, the main reasons are protection against infections, stimulating growth, and poor food intake, with multivitamins and minerals being the most commonly used supplements. In adolescents, they are used to improve athletic performance and attain the "ideal body", with proteins and amino acids being the most often used nutrients. As they are not regulated by health agencies and are sold without a prescription, their unsupervised use can lead to inadequate doses, with...

Nanomechanical behavior of coal with heterogeneous minerals and pores using nanoindentation
This study used nanoindentation technology, combined with X-ray diffraction, small-angle X-ray, a high magnification microscope, and mechanical parameter scale-up analysis, to study the micromechanical of three coals being dominated by heterogeneous components and pores. The results show that load-displacement curves with different maximum loads (50 mN, 100 mN, and 200 mN) all appear the pop-in events, and coal heterogeneity affects the frequency of their occurrence. As the maximum load is increased, pop-in event of DSC appears once each, YW increases from zero to three times and HM decreases from four to two times. The he...

Characteristics of sudanese camel-hair fibres under subtropical desert condition
AbstractThe study assessed the quality and variability of camel hair fibres in arid regions of Egypt. Raw camel-hair samples were collected from fifteen Sudanese camels divided into seven males (414.60 ± 38.19 kg, BW) and eight females (401.67 ± 26.76 kg BW), and the study investigated the influences of animal sex on both the physical and chemical traits of camel-hair fibers. The relationships among physical properties and both mineral and amino acid content were studied. Camel’s se x had no significant effect on any of the studied traits including fibre diameter (FD), prickle factor (PF), medullated fibre (...

Enhanced arsenic removal by graphene oxide chitosan composites through FeOx decoration: Influences and mechanism
In this study, varying amounts of Fe (II) are used for the modification of graphene oxide chitosan (GOCS) materials to assess the impact of iron oxide (FeOx) morphology on the composites and their efficiency in arsenic (As) removal. Results show that incorporating 0.08 mol Fe(II) into GOCS yields better As removal performance, leading to a remarkable enhancement by 5 times for As(V) and 6 times for As(III). The iron minerals in the material consist of goethite (FeO(OH)) and magnetite (Fe3O4), with FeO(OH) playing a predominant role in As removal through the complexation and electrostatic attraction of -OH and Fe - O groups...

Clinically Relevant Herb-Drug Interactions: A 30-Year Historical Assessment
J Diet Suppl. 2024 Mar 19:1-27. doi: 10.1080/19390211.2024.2327544. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, a legislative measure ushering in a novel class of complementary healthcare products known as dietary supplements, will mark its 30th anniversary in October 2024. Over this 30-year period, dietary supplement usage evolved from a few hundred products made up mostly of vitamins, minerals, and select botanical extracts to more than 75,000 single- and multi-ingredient products that are now regular staples in the American healthcare system and used by half of all U.S. consumers. One ...

Recent advances in clay minerals for groundwater pollution control and remediation
This study provides an overview of advances in clay minerals in the field of groundwater remediation and related predictions. The existing literature was examined using data and information aggregation approaches. Keyword clustering analysis of the relevant literature revealed that clay minerals are associated with groundwater utilization and soil pollution remediation. Principal component analysis was used to assess the relationships among clay mineral modification methods, pollutant properties, and the Langmuir adsorption capacity (Qmax). The results demonstrated that pollutant properties affect the Qmax of pollutants ad...
