Global, regional, and national burden of female infertility and trends from 1990 to 2021 with projections to 2050 based on the GBD 2021 analysis by Jie Liu, Yi Qin, Hui Liu, Yonglin Liu, Yi Yang, Yumei Ning, Huijun Ye

“…Initially, we assessed the global burden by the number of female infertility prevalence and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), along with the age-standardized rate (ASR) per 100,000 individuals, stratified by age, sociodemographic index (SDI), nationality, and region. Furthermore, linear regression models were employed to examine the temporal trends of disease burden from 1990 to 2021. …”

Correlates of sedentary behaviors among adults from eastern Poland by Marian Jan Stelmach, Joanna Baj-Korpak, Ewelina Anna Niźnikowska, Barbara Bergier, Michał Bergier, Dorota Tomczyszyn, Paulo Rocha

“…Self-rated health, gender, employment status, and marital status were the strongest correlates of sedentary behavior. Linear regression analysis showed that in the case of step count per day, employment status is a statistically significant predictor explaining 11.8% of the variance.ConclusionThe obtained findings underscore the necessity for further research to explore the causal relationships of the prevalence of sedentary behaviors, particularly among socially and professionally excluded individuals.…”

Comparative Analysis of Microbiological Profiles and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Subjects with Colorectal Cancer and Healthy Individuals by Li Jun, Zhu Yanyun, Chang Qing, Gong Yuan, Wan Jun, Xu Shiping

“…Fecal samples were obtained from seven CRC patients and six healthy subjects, and the sequencing data were analyzed for similarity, a-diversity, principal component analysis (PCA), and linear discriminant analyses (LDA). Regarding Actinobacteria, 3 orders, 5 families, 9 genera, and 19 species were identified with no differences between the CRC and control groups, while the levels of Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium dentium were higher, and the level of Bifidobacterium breve was lower in the CRC group compared to the healthy controls (p = 0.053). …”

Cattle’s Social Rank Throughout the Transition from Rangeland to Fattening Affects Beef Quality by Paola Soberanes-Oblea, Iván Adrián García-Galicia, Mariana Huerta-Jiménez, Jesús Ricardo Gámez-Piñón, Mieke Titulaer, Alma Delia Alarcon-Rojo, Einar Vargas-Bello-Pérez

“…The principal component analysis revealed a strong relationship between social rank and beef color (L*, a*, b*, chroma, HUE, and ΔE), pH, and water holding capacity. The linear discriminant analysis of the beef quality variables classified the animals in one of four social ranks (dominant, change to subordinate, subordinate, change to dominant) with 95% precision. pH 45 (−9.163), drip 0 d (−3.917), final chroma (1.773), and ΔE (1.646) obtained high coefficients that determined the separation among the classes. …”

Physical–Statistical Characterization of PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 Concentrations and Atmospheric Transport Events in the Azores During 2024 by Maria Gabriela Meirelles, Helena Cristina Vasconcelos

“…Weak to moderate correlations were observed between PM concentrations and meteorological variables, indicating complex interactions influenced by atmospheric stability and long-range transport processes. Linear regression analyses between SO₂ and O₃, and between SO₂ and PM_2.5, showed statistically significant but low-explanatory relationships, suggesting that other meteorological and chemical factors play a dominant role. …”
