Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate the link between stress hyperglycemia and catheter-related urinary tract infections (CAUTI) in stroke patients with retained catheters.
  • Researchers analyzed data from stroke patients who underwent catheterization from January 2016 to March 2020, employing a case-control design and multivariate logistic regression.
  • Findings showed that stress hyperglycemia doubled the risk of CAUTI compared to non-stress hyperglycemia and was associated with a significantly longer hospital stay for those affected.

Dissolution of marine sediment is a key source of dissolved iron (Fe) that regulates the ocean carbon cycle. Currently, our prevailing understanding, encapsulated in ocean models, focuses on low-oxygen reductive supply mechanisms and neglects the emerging evidence from iron isotopes in seawater and sediment porewaters for additional nonreductive dissolution processes. Here, we combine measurements of Fe colloids and dissolved δFe in shallow porewaters spanning the full depth of the South Atlantic Ocean to demonstrate that it is lithogenic colloid production that fuels sedimentary iron supply away from low-oxygen systems.

A genome-wide association study (GWAS) in the Han Chinese population had found that single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) on the CMTM7 gene rs347134 was significantly associated with Body Mass Index (BMI). In the present study, the association of the rs347134 SNP with obesity and its interaction with dietary patterns (DPs) were explored in Han Chinese children. This cross-sectional study group included 1292 children, in whom obesity-related indicators were evaluated, the rs347134 SNP was genotyped by improved Multiple Ligase Detection Reaction (iMLDR), and the DPs were identified by principal component factor analysis.
