Article Abstract
The effect of ELF-MF on human health is still controversial, particularly as regards long-term health effects like cancer. The literature does suggest, however, that they could be involved in the occurrence of brain tumors, although results concerning residential exposure are scarce. Our objective was to investigate the association between residential proximity to power lines and brain tumors among adults in France by using a geographical information system.CERENAT is a population-based case-control study carried out in France in 2004-2006. We used geographical data sources on power line location to create exposure scores based on distance between residence and power lines, and on the number of lines near residences. Conditional logistic regression for matched sets was used to estimate Odds Ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI).We found significant associations between cumulated duration living at <50 m to high voltage lines and: i) all brain tumors (OR 2.94; 95%CI 1.28-6.75); ii) glioma (OR 4.96; 95%CI 1.56-15.77). Further investigations are needed, particularly to improve the quality and availability of geographical and technical data on power lines.

X-Linked Hypophosphatemia: Role of Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 on Human Skeletal Muscle-Derived Cells.

X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare and progressive disease, due to inactivating mutations in the phosphate-regulating endopeptidase homolog X-linked (PHEX) gene. These pathogenic variants result in elevated circulating levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), responsible for the main clinical manifestations of XLH, such as hypophosphatemia, skeletal deformities, and mineralization defects. However, XLH also involves muscular disorders (muscle weakness, pain, reduced muscle density, peak strength, and power).

This research work proposes a hybrid Manta ray Forging Optimization- Sine Cosine Algorithm (MRFO-SCA) for Congestion Management (CM) that addresses the power system transmission line congestion cost challenges with the integration of Wind Energy System (WES). The proposed method focuses on two key objectives: first, identifying the most influential bus within the power system using the Bus Sensitivity Factor (BSF) to optimally place a wind power source, thereby impacting the power flow in overloaded lines. Second, MRFO-SCA has been developed for optimal power rescheduling of the generators to alleviate congestion while minimizing the congestion cost.

Nicotine lactate salt is one of the commonly used nicotine salts in electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) formulations, including products that have received Marketing Granted Orders through the FDA's Premarket Tobacco Product Application (PMTA) evaluation in the US. However, full-life cycle evaluation on nicotine lactate salt remains limited, especially its leaching reactions with heating elements and the potential to influence aerosol composition. This study investigated the chemical effects of nicotine lactate salt on e-cigarette heating coils and potential toxicological consequences of nickel (Ni) leachates using in vitro cells and animal models.

Background: Meniscal extrusion has been reported to be present in >50% of knees after medial meniscus root repair. Meniscal extrusion has also been reported to be a risk factor for the progression of osteoarthritis and poorer patient-reported outcomes by impairing the ability of the meniscus to absorb hoop stress.
Purpose: To determine whether the addition of a centralization suture to 2-tunnel transtibial root repair reduces postoperative medial meniscal extrusion in patients with type 2 posterior medial meniscus root (PMMR) tears.
Intersectional analysis of visual generative AI: the case of stable diffusion.

Since 2022, Visual Generative AI (vGenAI) tools have experienced rapid adoption and garnered widespread acclaim for their ability to produce high-quality images with convincing photorealistic representations. These technologies mirror society's prevailing visual politics in a mediated form, and actively contribute to the perpetuation of deeply ingrained assumptions, categories, values, and aesthetic representations. In this paper, we critically analyze Stable Diffusion (SD), a widely used open-source vGenAI tool, through visual and intersectional analysis.
