System Eliminating Emergency Discharges in Industrial Facilities Waste Waters Using Relative Signal Description by V. A. Alekseev, S. I. Yuran, V. P. Usoltsev, D. N. Shulmin

“…The relative description on the components of the lattice function of the spectrum of emergency discharges is used, constructed using the order ratio between the components of the lattice function.The emergency discharge identification can be implemented by comparing the relative description of the emergency discharge spectrum with the reference spectra for the harmful substances that can be present at the given industrial facility, and the standards of the spectra of these substances are presented in the form of a relative description using the ratio “more”–“less”.The authors provide a flow chart for the emergency discharge elimination system, describe its operation and the functions fulfilled by its elements. …”

Serum IL-33/ST2 Axis Expression in Acute Exacerbations of COPD: Correlation with Pulmonary Function by Wei Y, Ling L, Zhu H, Huang Q

“…Logistic regression confirmed IL-33 (OR = 1.32, p < 0.001) and ST2 (OR = 1.29, p < 0.001) was associated with reduced pulmonary function. Subgroup analysis revealed more pronounced associations in older patients (≥ 67 years), males, and those with PH.Conclusion:  IL-33 and ST2 are promising biomarkers for identifying individuals at higher risk of reduced pulmonary function during AECOPD. …”

Dairy intake and cognitive function in older adults in three cohorts: a mendelian randomization study by Natalia Ortega, Nick J. Mueller, Abbas Dehghan, Tosca O. E. de Crom, Armin von Gunten, Martin Preisig, Pedro Marques-Vidal, Marco Vinceti, Trudy Voortman, Nicolas Rodondi, Patricia O. Chocano-Bedoya

“…Nonetheless, the generally small magnitude of effect sizes may suggest that there is no real effect between total or non-fermented dairy intake and cognitive function. Conclusion The evidence for a causal effect of dairy consumption on general cognitive function is weak, consistent with previous results from classic analysis from observational studies. …”
