Article Synopsis
- Mangrove ecosystems are facing threats from climate change and urban pollution, leading to the emergence of potentially harmful yeasts, as studied in Hong Kong's mangroves.
- The researchers collected water and sediment samples, identifying 45 yeast isolates from 18 species, with a significant presence of pathogenic yeasts known for drug resistance.
- The study highlights the urgent need for surveillance and collaboration among various disciplines to manage the risks posed by these pathogens, emphasizing the broader public health implications of unchecked urban development in coastal areas.
Background: As the impact of unmanaged bias (i.e. systematic source of inaccuracy) in fecal immunochemical test (FIT) analytical performance on long-term colorectal cancer (CRC) outcomes is unknown, we assessed the impact bias in FIT performance in an ongoing FIT-based CRC screening program.

Therefore, the aims of this study were twofold: (1) to assess occupational stress factors within the veterinary profession, with a particular emphasis on comparing the expectations of veterinary students with the experiences of practicing veterinarians and (2) to link the experienced stress with mental health indicators in veterinarians.
Methods: All registered veterinarians and veterinary-medicine students in Austria were invited to participate in a cross-sectional online survey.
Although previous studies point to a high mental health burden in veterinarians, little is known about mental health in Austrian veterinarians as well as potential underlying factors of poor mental health. We assessed mental health in Austrian veterinarians, compared it to the mental health of the general population, and explored potential risk factors for poor mental health in veterinarians. A total of n = 440 veterinarians (72.
