Integrative approach to mitigate chromium toxicity in soil and enhance antioxidant activities in rice (Oryza sativa L.) using magnesium-iron nanocomposite and Staphylococcus aureus strains

Author(s): Ali MA; Sardar MF; Dar AA; Niaz M; Ali J; Wang Q; Zheng Y; Luo Y; Albasher G; Li F;

Pollutants in soil, particularly chromium (Cr), pose high environmental and health risks due to their persistence, bioavailability, and potential for causing toxicity. Cr impairment in plants act as a deleterious environmental pollutant that enters the food chain and eventually disturbs human health. Current study demonstrated the potential of integrative ...

Effects of early midlife ovarian removal on sleep: Polysomnography-measured cortical arousal, homeostatic drive, and spindle characteristics

Author(s): Brown A; Gervais NJ; Gravelsins L; O' Byrne J; Calvo N; Ramana S; Shao Z; Bernardini M; Jacobson M; Rajah MN; Einstein G;

Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO; removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes) prior to age 48 is associated with elevated risk for both Alzheimer's disease (AD) and sleep disorders such as insomnia and sleep apnea. In early midlife, individuals with BSO show reduced hippocampal volume, functi ...

Searching and reporting in Campbell Collaboration systematic reviews: A systematic assessment of current methods

Author(s): Young S; MacDonald H; Louden D; Ellis UM; Premji Z; Rogers M; Bethel A; Pickup D;

The search methods used in systematic reviews provide the foundation for establishing the body of literature from which conclusions are drawn and recommendations made. Searches should aim to be comprehensive and reporting of search methods should be transparent and reproducible. Campbell Collaboration systematic reviews strive to adhere to the best method ...

Transcriptional and secretome analysis of Rasamsonia emersonii lytic polysaccharide mono-oxygenases

Author(s): Raheja Y; Singh V; Kumar N; Agrawal D; Sharma G; Di Falco M; Tsang A; Chadha BS;

The current study is the first to describe the temporal and differential transcriptional expression of two lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) genes of Rasamsonia emersonii in response to various carbon sources. The mass spectrometry based secretome analysis of carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes) expression in response to different carbon sources ...

Cardiometabolic disease risk in relation to objectively measured physical activity, sedentary behaviour in South African adults with knee and hip osteoarthritis

Author(s): Kaoje YS; Mokete L; Dafkin C; Pietrzak J; Sikhauli K; Frimpong E; Meiring RM;

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between cardiometabolic disease risk and time spent in device-measured activity behaviours in a cohort of people with advanced osteoarthritis (OA) awaiting joint replacement surgery. Materials and methods: Cardiometabolic risk biomarkers were assessed in people with OA (n = 96; hip n = 38, knee n ...

Couples-based health behavior change interventions: A relationship science perspective on the unique opportunities and challenges to improve dyadic health

Author(s): Gouin JP; Dymarski M;

Epidemiological studies indicate that better marital quality is associated with less morbidity and premature mortality. A number of interpersonal processes related to marital quality are also associated with health-relevant surrogate biomarkers across different physiological systems. Despite these replicated correlational findings, few interventions have ...

17β-Estradiol reduces inhibitory synaptic currents in entorhinal cortex neurons through G protein-coupled estrogen receptor-1 activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase

Author(s): Batallán Burrowes AA; Moisan É; Garrone A; Buynack LM; Chapman CA;

Estrogens are believed to modulate cognitive functions in part through the modulation of synaptic transmission in the cortex and hippocampus. Administration of 17ß-estradiol (E2) can rapidly enhance excitatory synaptic transmission in the hippocampus and facilitate excitatory synaptic transmission in rat lateral entorhinal cortex via activation of the G p ...

A Follow-up Geospatial Analysis and Probabilistic Human Health Risk Assessment of Methylmercury in Fish in Eeyou Istchee (Québec, Canada)

Author(s): Krupa A; Turner SE; Liberda EN; Tsuji LJS; Moriarity RJ;

The Cree Peoples of the Eeyou Istchee territory (northern Québec, Canada) rely on fish as a part of their traditional and contemporary diet. Fish is a culturally significant food and a source of nutrients, but it is also the main pathway of methylmercury (MeHg) exposure for humans. Significant hydroelectric developments in this territory are responsible f ...

EEG-based study of design creativity: a review on research design, experiments, and analysis

Author(s): Zangeneh Soroush M; Zeng Y;

Brain dynamics associated with design creativity tasks are largely unexplored. Despite significant strides, there is a limited understanding of the brain-behavior during design creation tasks. The objective of this paper is to review the concepts of creativity and design creativity as well as their differences, and to explore the brain dynamics associated ...

Relational conflicts during COVID-19: Impact of loss and reduction of employment due to prevention measures and the influence of sex and stress (in the iCARE study)

Author(s): Tremblay N; Leger C; Deslauriers F; Hébert-Auger L; Gosselin-Boucher V; Bacon SL; Dialufuma MV; Lavoie KL;

This study explored the association between pandemic-related loss/reduction of employment, sex, COVID-19-related stress and relational conflicts. A sample of 5103 Canadians from the iCARE study were recruited through an online polling firm between October 29, 2020, and March 23, 2021. Logistic re ...
