Association between A Body Shape Index (ABSI) and mortality risk across populations with different sedentary time: a large-scale cohort study

A Body Shape Index (ABSI) is a simple and efficient metric for assessing adiposity, and sedentary behaviour is a common unhealthy practice. Both factors have been demonstrated to be associated with mortality risk. However, research on the influence of sedentary time on the associ...

Diagnostic and prognostic performance of biomarkers for pneumoconiosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

The global incidence of pneumoconiosis is rising, significantly impacting individuals' quality of life. While traditional symptomatic treatments have shown some therapeutic effects, understanding underlying risk factors and biomarkers is crucial for better management. This meta-a...

Flume experiments on wave attenuation through combined flexible and rigid vegetation

Vegetation-based wave attenuation provides a sustainable alternative to conventional coastal protection structures; however, the attenuation characteristics of combined flexible and rigid vegetation systems remain insufficiently understood. This study experimentally investigates...

Synergistic catalytic therapy of severe acute pancreatitis using gold-doped prussian blue nanozymes via targeting ROS-NLRP3 inflammatory cascade

Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is characterized by a complex and poorly understood pathogenesis, with a lack of specific therapeutic agents. Herein, we develop morphology-engineered gold-doped Prussian blue nanozymes (AuPB), designed as reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers f...

Parent Material, Water Regime Shifts, and Fertilization Regulate Aggregate Stability and Cadmium Adsorption in Typical Subtropical Paddy Soils

Cadmium (Cd) contamination in paddy soils poses health risks, yet the role of aggregate-scale Cd binding remains poorly understood under interactive agricultural management. Unlike primary textural separates that are fixed by parent material, aggregates are dynamic and manageable...

Dynamic modeling and optimal control of Mpox among MSM in a central Chinese city

Abstract Background Since 2022, the mpox outbreak has become a global public health threat, with transmission mainly among men who have sex with men (MSM). Mpox is the only infectious disease other than Ebola to have been declared a PHEIC twice. Following its importation and loca...
