Sulfide-rich continental roots at cratonic margins formed by carbonated melts.

The cratonic crust contains abundant mineral deposits of metals such as gold, copper and rare earths and is underlain by a thick mantle lithosphere rich in the volatiles carbon, sulfur and water. Although volatiles are known to be key components in metallogenesis, how and where they are distributed in the cratonic lithosphere mantle and their role in the initial enrichment of metals have not been sufficiently explored. Here we compile sulfur and copper contents of global cratonic peridotites, identifying sulfide-rich and copper-rich continental roots at depths of 160-190 km at cratonic margins.

An ecosystem for producing and sharing metadata within the web of FAIR Data.

Background: Descriptive metadata are vital for reporting, discovering, leveraging, and mobilizing research datasets. However, resolving metadata issues as part of a data management plan can be complex for data producers. To organize and document data, various descriptive metadata must be created.

Estimating the Risk of Cardiovascular Events in U.S. Veterans Using the SMART Risk Score.

Background: Estimation of long-term risk for cardiovascular events using the SMART (Secondary Manifestations of Arterial Disease) risk score can be potentially valuable in devising risk mitigation strategies.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to apply the SMART risk score to compute the risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in the U.S.

Differences in compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue among oncology nurses in Oman: A multi-center cross-sectional study.

Background: Oncology nurses are constantly exposed to occupational exposure to the suffering of others, which can lead to vicarious traumatization, low professional quality of life (ProQOL), and inability to provide quality nursing care. The purpose of the study is to explore the ProQOL of oncology nurses working in Oman and the characteristics that lead to differences in compassion satisfaction (CS) and compassion fatigue (CF).

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional design was conducted between March and December 2020 using the ProQOL scale to collect data from 242 oncology nurses in Oman using a convenience sampling technique.

Is mesh pore size associated with the outcome in laparo-endoscopic inguinal hernia repair? - a registry-based multivariable analysis.

Introduction: In inguinal hernia repair, mesh weight and pore size are used to describe the mesh characteristics. One meta-analysis of laparo-endoscopic inguinal hernia repairs identified 12 prospective randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with 2,909 patients who had all been treated with lightweight (≤ 50 g/m²) or heavyweight (> 70 g/m²) meshes. None of the 12 RCTs gave details of the pore size.
