Key Clinical Message: Differentiating Adult-Onset Still's Disease (AOSD) from lymphoma is challenging. A 23-year-old female presented with polyarthralgia, fever, rash, lymphadenopathy, and abnormal labs. She met AOSD criteria and was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

In Burkina Faso, limited data exist on the etiological profiles of this syndrome in rheumatology. This study aimed to describe the etiological profile of NTSCI in the Rheumatology Department of the University Hospital Center of Bogodogo (CHU-B).

Unlike other types of renewable energies such as wind and hydroelectricity, evidence on the effects of PV installations on biodiversity has been building up only fairly recently and suggests that they may directly impact ecosystems and species through, for instance, habitat change and loss, mortality, behaviour alteration or population displacements. Hence, we conducted a systematic map of existing evidence aiming at answering the following question: what evidence exists regarding the effects of PV installations on wild terrestrial and semi-aquatic species?
Methods: We searched for relevant citations on four online publication databases, on Google Scholar, on four specialised websites and through a call for grey literature.
Background: The development of cities and transport infrastructure produces a large volume of mineral waste (e.g. excavated earth material).

- Linear transportation infrastructures can fragment species habitats, yet their verges (such as grass strips or embankments) may provide continuous habitats and corridors for vascular plants in temperate ecosystems.
- The researchers conducted a comprehensive literature review to evaluate whether these verges can effectively support biodiversity, focusing on vascular plants and assessing various studies for relevance and bias.
- The findings synthesized in this paper underscore the potential role of verges as habitats, but also highlight the complexities and controversies surrounding their conservation value amid landscape management practices.
