Land use change threatens global biodiversity and compromises ecosystem functions, including pollination and food production. Reduced taxonomic α-diversity is often reported under land use change, yet the impacts could be different at larger spatial scales (i.e.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a scale of heat sensitivity for people with PD.
Methods: Through a search of the scientific literature and online forums, we developed 41 items relating to experiences of heat for people with PD to assess heat sensitivity.
Article Synopsis
- Examining the impact of heat on individuals with Parkinson's disease is important for improving healthcare and safety planning.
- A study with 247 participants revealed that 78.9% reported increased heat sensitivity, leading to worsened motor and nonmotor symptoms in many respondents.
- The study showed that over half of participants struggled with work and daily tasks in the heat, highlighting how heat sensitivity affects their quality of life.
This comprehensive review encompasses studies examining changes in the cervical and cervico-vaginal microbiota (CM and CVM) in relation to human papillomavirus (HPV) using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. HPV infection remains a prominent global health concern, with a spectrum of manifestations, from benign lesions to life-threatening cervical cancers. The CM and CVM, a unique collection of microorganisms inhabiting the cervix/vagina, has emerged as a critical player in cervical health.

This study employed whole genome sequencing of mitochondrial DNA to identify genetic variants potentially associated with the development of PCOS and HT and predisposing to their joint occurrence.
Results: A total of 84 women participated, including patients with PCOS, HT, coexisting PCOS and HT (PCOS + HT) and healthy women.
