The study will recommend measures to improve the quality of CRVS data for future use to monitor maternal mortality in Zimbabwe…[Read more]

With further stratifications, prenatal antibiotic exposure and birth weight were associated in boys who were preterm (+91.0g, 95%CI +6.8g- +175.2g, p=0.03) but not among girls who were preterm (-44.0g, 95%CI -128.1 to +40.0g, p=0.30).

Prenatal antibiotic exposure is not consistently associated with birth weight.

The presence of conventional and emerging pollutants infiltrating into our water bodies is a course of concern as they have seriously threatened water security. Established techniques such as photocatalysis and membrane technology have proven to be promising in removing various persistent organic pollutants (POP) from wastewaters. The emergence of…[Read more]

Native plants in metal pollution sites have great potentials for mine rehabilitation. In the presented work, we investigated Vanadium (V) concentrations of soils and plants (Heteropogon contortus) in Majiatian V-Ti magnetite tailing reservoir in Panzhihua, Southwestern China. The objectives were to explore the V accumulation mode of H. contortus…[Read more]
