Prenatal arsenic exposure alters EZH2/H3K27me3 to induce RKIP/NF-kB/ERK1/2-mediated early-onset kidney disease in mouse offspring.

The rising incidences of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and renal failure are a major public health concern. Arsenic, a widespread water contaminant and environmental toxicant, is well-known to contribute to kidney disease in adults. However, its long-term effects on kidney health following early-life exposure remain poorly understood.

Gemella sanguinis: A Rare Cause of Endocarditis in a Bicuspid Aortic Valve.

Here, we present a case of infective endocarditis (IE) caused by a pathogen that rarely causes human infection. The patient in this case was an otherwise healthy 50-year-old man who presented with gradually worsening shortness of breath, weight loss, fatigue, chills, and leg swelling for six weeks. He had no prior history of cardiac disease and had never used intravenous drugs, but he had undergone extensive dental work following a military-associated injury.

However, the rise of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosures has concurrently given rise to greenwashing-misleading claims that erode stakeholder trust and obstruct sustainability progress. Despite the widespread acknowledgment of greenwashing, there is a notable gap in research identifying the key factors that can mitigate it.
