Toxic risk assessment of selected metals in infant formula milk commercially available in Lebanon: A novel approach based on feeding parameters versus toxicity by Pierre J. Obeid, Bilal El Khoury, John Hanna El-Nakat

“…The drawback with such studies is the use of a fixed ADI for all samples as if all samples have the same and exact preparation directions while using somewhat different infant masses.Accordingly, this study aims at assessing the toxic risk amongst newborns from IFM consumption through the identification and application of various highly important and toxicity-contributing parameters from each IFM and its directions of preparation label separately which are discussed here for the first time while providing comparisons between the classical approach versus our new approach to highlight its importance.Seventy-three IFMs (0–6 months) were analyzed for lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), and aluminum (Al) levels and unlike previous studies, this work incorporated various feeding parameters from each IFM for calculating the intakes thus, revealing potential toxicity risks even in IFMs that are considered safe by the classical approach. …”

Interplay of education and community norms in justifying intimate partner violence among ever-married women aged 15–49 years in Bangladesh: a cross-sectional study by Mohammad Hridoy Patwary, Sumaiya Nusrat Esha

“…Statistical analyses, including chi-square tests, rank-biserial correlation test, and generalized linear models with binomial link function, were utilized to evaluate associations between IPV justification and sociodemographic factors. The parametric g-formula was employed to estimate potential outcome probabilities of IPV justification under hypothetical scenarios, with bootstrapping used for standard error calculations. …”
