Mangrove forests enhance Small Island Developing States' resilience to climate change, yet in 2020, a mangrove dieback impacted ~ 25% of mangrove-containing islands in the Maldives. Using remote sensing, dendrology and sediment geochemistry, we document a significant decrease in mangrove health post-2020 (NDVI: 0.75 ± 0.

Article Synopsis
- - The study explores how atmospheric pressure changes during flights can influence insulin delivery from pumps in people with type 1 diabetes, potentially leading to issues like hypoglycaemia.
- - An in vitro flight simulation mimicking airline conditions revealed that insulin pumps can over-deliver and under-deliver insulin at different stages of flight, particularly significant during emergency decompression scenarios.
- - Real-world data from pilots using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) showed that insulin levels remained stable with only a small percentage of blood glucose readings falling outside the safe range, indicating effective management while flying.
In the era of precision health, nursing research has increasingly focused on the analysis of large, multidimensional data sets containing multiple correlated phenotypes (e.g., symptoms).

These mangroves can export a vast amount of aquatic carbon that can be potentially sequestered for millennia. However, the mechanisms that drive these processes remain poorly constrained.
