Intensifying compound drought–heatwave events weaken ecosystem water-use efficiency in the Nile River Basin

Climate warming has intensified compound drought–heatwave (CDHW) events worldwide, posing growing threats to ecosystem carbon–water dynamics. However, the impacts of CDHWs on ecosystem water-use efficiency (WUE), particularly event sequencing, drought memory, and climatic heterog...

Changes in the millipede fauna of the British Isles between 1958 and 2025

Summary. The number of millipede species found from the British Isles can be tracked through key publications in 1958, 1985, 2006 and 2025 and has increased from 43 to 84. The number of orders of millipede has also increased from five to eight, and now includes representatives fr...

Dose-dependent microbiome, metabolome and lipidome shifts in a mouse model of colitis-associated colorectal cancer using azoxymethane and dextran sodium sulphate

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a major health burden, underscoring the need for continued research to improve screening methods and treatment outcomes. The colitis-associated azoxymethane (AOM) and dextran sodium sulphate (DSS) mouse model has proven valuable for CRC research, a...

Hidden hypertension and early cardiac alterations: insights from ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in children and adolescents

Abstract Background Hypertension is increasingly recognized as a significant health concern among children and adolescents, often associated with obesity and lifestyle choices. Early-onset hypertension can elevate the risk of cardiovascular diseases in adulthood, making early det...

Solar-powered electromagnetic conditioning of saline groundwater: an exploratory assessment of ionic composition and soil-extract salinity

Saline groundwater is a difficult irrigation source in arid and off-grid areas, but a conditioning device must not be described as a desalination process unless net salt removal is demonstrated. This exploratory pilot assessment examined a photovoltaic-powered electromagnetic coi...

A machine learning approach to predict treatment response in myofascial pain patients receiving masseter trigger point injections

BACKGROUND: Trigger point injection (TPI) therapy is widely used for masseter myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), yet outcomes vary substantially. Individualized prediction tools are lacking, often leading to trial-and-error treatment selection. OBJECTIVE: To develop, externally vali...
