Research Study Attrition and Participant-Informed Retention Strategies Among Cancer Survivors

Importance Attrition in longitudinal cancer cohorts compromises data completeness, introduces bias, and limits generalizability. Objective To quantify nonresponsiveness over time in a contemporary cohort of cancer survivors, identify individual- and center-level factors associate...

210Pbex in lacustrine sediments: A half-century global synthesis (1977-2024)

Unsupported 210 Pb ( 210 Pb ex ) is a naturally occurring radionuclide widely used to establish sediment chronologies spanning the past ∼150 years, thereby providing high-resolution temporal frameworks for palaeolimnological reconstructions. Since the late 1970s, numerous hypothe...

Halting marine plastic inputs by 2050 is necessary but not sufficient to avoid microplastic accumulation

Marine plastic pollution threatens ecosystems, economies, and human health, yet economic literature overlooks the transport of plastic debris across marine ecosystem compartments and its natural breakdown. Here we show, using a system dynamics model, the global physical and econo...

Space‐Based Observation of Decadal Variations of Ammonium Sulfate Aerosols Over Northern China

Abstract The concentrations of ammonium sulfate, an important component of secondary inorganic aerosols, have dropped substantially in the North China Plain (NCP) over the past decade. However, current understanding of its variations is limited by the small number of ground‐based...

Digital invited spaces and local democracy: Constitutive ambivalence and paradoxical dynamics

Background This paper 1 analyzes the role of local participatory digital platforms as “invited digital spaces”—that is, participatory mechanisms that are open to citizens’ participation yet institutionally regulated. These tools, widely used in Europe and France, are presented as...

Association of cryptic pregnancy and alcohol consumption with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder: a nationwide population-based study of 5 million women in 2015–2022

Cryptic pregnancy (CP) also known as pregnancy denial remains an underexplored risk factor for FASD. To our knowledge, there is no available epidemiologic data in the scientific literature exploring the association between CP and FASD. This study aimed to examine the association...

Anaesthesia for patients with non-vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndromes: recommendations based on a descriptive cohort study of 69 patients and 127 orthopaedic operations

Anaesthetists are generally well-aware of the serious complications that can occur when anaesthetising patients with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. They are usually less familiar with complications that can occur in patients with hypermobile EDS and other non-vascular EDS (nvED...

Dry snow initialization and densification over the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets in the ORCHIDEE land surface model

Abstract. Accurate modeling of the snowpack over ice sheets is essential for quantifying their surface mass balance contribution and their resulting impact on sea level rise. The snowpack evolution is largely governed by surface climate but also by internal processes such as dens...

Longitudinal evidence for decreasing statistical learning abilities across childhood

Abstract Statistical learning enables us to identify patterns in our environment and predict future events, thereby supporting a range of motor, cognitive, and linguistic skills. Despite its significance, the developmental trajectory of statistical learning has remained unclear d...

Paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic reconstruction in the Western Mediterranean during the Late Early Pleistocene

Abstract. The major climate change recorded during the Early-Middle Pleistocene Transition (1.4–0.4 Ma) is characterized by an increase in the length of climatic cycles from 41 to 100 ka. During this period, the Mediterranean climate underwent aridification associated with a drop...

Increased maximum carbon release offsets half of the growth trend in annual land carbon sink

The terrestrial carbon sink has strengthened in recent decades through enhanced maximum CO2 uptake (MCU) and a longer carbon uptake period (CUP), whereas maximum CO2 release (MCR) remains less quantified. Using atmospheric inversion estimates and 16 terrestrial biosphere models,...

Cost-utility study of cognitive-behavioural management of auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia: a study protocol

Abstract Background Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) affect 60–80% of patients with schizophrenia, causing significant distress and functional impairment. Although cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) has been shown to reduce AVH-related distress and relapse risk, its use rem...

Real-World Use of Adjuvant Nivolumab for Resected Stage III–IV Melanoma: 2-Year Analysis of AdjuMel

Following the positive findings of the phase 3 CheckMate 238 trial, adjuvant nivolumab has become a standard therapy in patients with completely resected stage III–IV melanoma. The prospective, ongoing AdjuMel study is evaluating the real-world use, effectiveness, and safety of a...

Deep molecular profiling of lung neuroendocrine tumours and supra-carcinoids

BACKGROUND: Lung neuroendocrine tumours (NETs, also known as carcinoids) are rapidly rising in incidence worldwide but have unknown aetiology and limited therapeutic options beyond surgery. The current WHO classification, based on mitotic count and presence or absence of necrosis...

Ecosystem-scale biogenic volatile organic compound fluxes over rapeseed by eddy-covariance

Abstract. Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are key precursors of ozone and secondary organic aerosols, yet their emissions from croplands remain poorly characterized. Here, we report what is, to our knowledge, the first ecosystem-scale quantification of BVOC fluxes ove...

Relationships between general practice residents’ level of reflection and their competencies development: results from a pilot cross-sectional study

Reflective practice is a cornerstone for developing professional competence. Despite its importance, the relationship between levels of reflection and competence remains underexplored in medical education. This association was described in trainee teachers. Along with initiating...

Strategic design of methane observation networks to improve emission estimates: A case study in Africa

Abstract. Ground-based and satellite atmospheric observations are essential for reducing uncertainties in methane (CH4) emissions by atmospheric inversion, particularly in data-sparse regions such as Africa. However, adding new observation sites does not yield linear improvements...

The limitations of non-mechanistic methods for characterizing pathogen-pathogen interactions: A simulation study

Abstract Pathogen-pathogen interactions occur when infection with one pathogen influences one’s chance of infection or disease due to another. Increasingly, evidence suggests that interactions are a common feature of infectious disease epidemiology. However, due to both the nonli...

Trace Elements in Total Atmospheric Deposition Directly Measured Over the Caribbean Region: Natural Versus Anthropogenic Sources and Geographic Origin

Abstract Dust, sea salt, and anthropogenic and biogenic particles in total atmospheric deposition are sources of essential elements that can significantly impact biogeochemical cycles in the Atlantic Ocean and in islands of the Caribbean region. This unique 41‐month data set reco...

A framework to compare the performance of spatial disaggregation methods of statistical climate downscaling in South America

Study region Chile and South America. Study focus Climate change is simulated at a coarse scale with General Circulation Models. Impact and regional studies require downscaling to increase spatial resolution. Several downscaling methods exist, but most studies do not analyze or c...
