Background: Land-use and land-cover change (LULCC) can substantially affect climate through biogeochemical and biogeophysical effects. Here, we examine the future temperature-mortality impact for two contrasting LULCC scenarios in a background climate of low greenhouse gas concentrations. The first LULCC scenario implies a globally sustainable land use and socioeconomic development (sustainability).

We implemented an iterative stakeholder dialogue to co-design the scenarios that were calculated using a global multi-regional energy-economy-land-climate model. We find that in scenarios without behavioral change and with restriction of technologies, the target of greenhouse gas neutrality in the European Union cannot be reached.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA nanohybrid-modified glassy carbon electrode based on conducting polypyrrole doped with carbon quantum dots (QDs) was developed and used for the electrochemical detection of anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG) antibodies. To improve the polypyrrole conductivity, carrier mobility, and carrier concentration, four types of carbon nanoparticles were tested. Furthermore, a polypyrrole-modified electrode doped with QDs was functionalized with a PAMAM dendrimer and transglutaminase 2 protein by cross-linking with N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS)/N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC).

- The study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of splenic diseases, particularly splenomegaly and splenic infarction, in patients with active babesiosis by reviewing imaging results from a specific hospital.
- Out of 57 patients with confirmed babesia infections, 29 underwent imaging procedures, with 66% having splenomegaly and 27% showing signs of splenic infarction, primarily in patients with lower levels of parasitemia.
- The findings suggest that splenic enlargement is the typical manifestation of splenic disease in babesiosis, with infarction occurring in some cases, but the small sample size limits the robustness of these conclusions.
Background: Several studies have shown that the knowledge about coeliac disease (CD) is not satisfactory among healthcare professionals (HCP). The aim of our study was to assess the knowledge of HCPs about CD in the Danube region.
Methods: HCPs from 8 countries in the Danube region were asked to complete the web-based questionnaire about CD.
