Article Abstract
Plant-based beverages (PBB) consumption has increased significantly worldwide due to an interest in vegetarian/vegan diets, taste preferences, health and ethical and environmental issues. Therefore, this study intends to investigate consumption habits, consumer preferences and consumers' level of knowledge about PBB. In this study, a voluntary, anonymous questionnaire survey was applied to a sample of participants from Portugal. The sample was recruited by convenience, and therefore, the distribution among the groups was not even. Data analysis involved different statistical techniques: basic statistics, chi-square tests, factor analysis, cluster analysis and tree classification analysis. The results indicated that the most consumed PBB were almond, soy and oat beverages. The majority of consumers chose these beverages for nutritional and health reasons, while a smaller number consumed them as part of a vegetarian or vegan diet. The main motivations for consuming PBB are mainly associated with sustainability and health benefits. The results regarding the respondents' knowledge about PBB revealed that a health-related profession was the most significant predictor. These results allowed us to conclude that the factors of nutrition, health, ethics and practice of a vegetarian/vegan diet influence the consumption of PBB. It was also concluded that being in a healthcare profession, along with age and professional status within this field, were significant factors influencing the level of knowledge about PBB.

Background: The Michigan Polybrominated Biphenyl (PBB) Registry, followed since 1976, was created after a 1973 chemical manufacturing mistake. The flame retardant PBB was accidentally mixed into animal feed and distributed to Michigan farms for nearly a year, exposing farm residents and animal product consumers.
Objective: We synthesized knowledge to date on health effects of PBB exposure within the Michigan PBB Registry and describe research findings in the context of literature on other persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs).

Background Objectives: Quantum chemical & molecular docking practices to deliver new perceptions into how etoposide, novobiocin, nogalamycin and netropsin interact with the biological targets PF3D7_0918600 (Plasmodium falciparum 3D7). Further the pharmacokinetics of a drug candidate which influenced by a variety of factors, including P- glycoprotein (Pgp) transport, PBB (Plasma protein binding), & BBB (Blood-brain barrier) permeation help to forecast the pharmacological characteristics of acetyl-CoA reductase inhibitors (ADMEs) and their metabolites.
Methods: At this point, we have elevated four compounds such as etoposide, novobiocin, nogalamycin & netropsin.

(Pb), a causal agent of blackleg of rapeseed, is composed of several subspecies, including 'australensis' (Pba), 'brassicae' (Pbb) and 'canadensis' (Pbc). Besides rapeseed, Pb can infect many wild cruciferous plants (WCPs), such as flixweed () and pennycress (), which may become the infection source for blackleg of rapeseed. However, Pb on WCPs has not been well investigated in China.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the diagnostic accuracy of two digital tools, an AI-based symptom checker (Ada) and a web-based self-referral tool (Rheport), for identifying inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRDs) among patients at three rheumatology centers.
- A total of 600 patients participated, with results showing that Rheport and Ada had varying levels of success in correctly identifying IRDs, achieving diagnostic accuracies of 52% and 58% respectively.
- The tools notably had better performance in diagnosing rheumatoid arthritis compared to other IRDs, with Ada showing a higher sensitivity for this specific condition.
