Perceived wildfire risk and past experiences with wildfire smoke influence public support for prescribed burning in the western conterminous United States.

Background: Prescribed burning is an important fuel management tool to prevent severe wildfires. There is a pressing need to increase its application to reduce dry fuels in the western United States, a region that has experienced many damaging wildfires. Public support for this practice is tempered by concern around smoke impacts and escape risks.

Evaluation of a personalized auditory-cognitive training on the improvement of speech understanding in noise in cochlear implanted patients.

Objective: The cochlear implant is a commonly used implantable device for the auditory rehabilitation of severe bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The effectiveness of the implant, depends on many factors, including intensive auditory training, which is crucial. Intelligibility in a noisy environment is a current issue and poses a major difficulty for implanted patients.

Multimodal Characterization of Cortical Neuron Response to Permanent Magnetic Field Induced Nanomagnetic Force Maps.

Nanomagnetic forces deliver precise mechanical cues to biological systems through the remote pulling of magnetic nanoparticles under a permanent magnetic field. Cortical neurons respond to nanomagnetic forces with cytosolic calcium influx and event rate shifts. However, the underlying consequences of nanomagnetic force modulation on cortical neurons remain to be elucidated.

External auditory canal chondroid syringoma with bone erosion: A CARE case report.

Introduction: Chondroid syringoma or ceruminous pleomorphic adenoma is a benign mixed cutaneous tumor. It is the second most frequent glandular lesion in the external auditory canal, but no cases associated with bone erosion were found in a PubMed search.

Case Report: The present CARE case report details a chondroid syringoma in the external auditory canal with associated bone lysis, and its management.

Mental Health Disorder Trends in Denmark According to Age, Calendar Period, and Birth Cohort.

Importance: Research suggests an increase in mental disorder incidence in recent years, but this trend remains unexplained, and there is a lack of large studies based on a representative sample that investigate mental disorders over the full spectrum.

Objective: To explore sex- and age-specific incidence of any mental disorder and 19 specific disorders according to birth cohort and calendar period.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This was a population-based cohort study among 5 936 202 individuals aged 1 to 80 years living in Denmark at some point between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2021.
