Salidroside and exercise performance in healthy active young adults - an exploratory, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

Background: Rhodiola rosea extract is purported to improve physical performance and support resilience to stress. Salidroside is considered to be one of the main constituents responsible for the ergogenic actions of R. rosea.

Pericardial tamponade after laparoscopic repair of a giant diaphragmatic hernia.

Laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair is favoured for diaphragmatic hernias due to better outcomes. However, fixation devices pose risks, including cardiac tamponade. A man underwent laparoscopic repair for a large diaphragmatic hernia.

Forest, climate, and policy literature lacks acknowledgement of environmental justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Forests boast essential resources and potential to mitigate climate change, meriting the development of conservation policies on all governmental scales. Ecosystem services provided by forests, including biodiversity, air quality, and food and fuel production, make forests valuable assets for climate-vulnerable communities that often lack the means to cope with ecosystem service degradation resulting from climate change. Historically, these vulnerable communities are previously marginalized and socio-economically limited, and climate change augments already-existing injustices.

Climate-altered Precipitation is more Important than Land Use when Modeling Ecosystem Services Associated with Surficial Processes.

Ecosystem services (ESs) associated with surficial processes may change according to shifts in land use, land cover, and climate parameters. Estimating these shifts can be important for land development planning, as urbanization alters soil processes that can manifest legacy effects. We employed the InVEST suite of models for sediment retention, nutrient delivery, and carbon storage to postulate how these ESs will change in the Upstate of South Carolina under future precipitation and land use and land cover (LULC) scenarios.

Safety of a Sustainably Produced, Bioengineered, Nature-Identical Salidroside Compound.

Bioactive phytochemicals such as salidroside have been studied to understand the beneficial effects of , an herbaceous plant used in traditional medicine to increase energy and treat a variety of health issues. However, Rhodiola plants are often slow-growing, and many are endangered in their native habitats. Thus, there is a need for safe, alternative supplies of key phytochemicals from Rhodiola.
