A new sesquiterpene, 8,11-epoxy-cadi-3,9-diene (), along with nine known compounds (-), were isolated from the heartwood of . Their structures were elucidated based on NMR spectroscopic data, and by comparison with data previously reported in literature. The hexane extract from the heartwood of , the EtOH extract from the heartwood of , the CHCl-soluble fraction of the EtOH extract, the EtOAc-soluble fraction of the EtOH extract and the compounds - have been evaluated as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, and among these, the extracts and fractions exhibited satisfactory results.

The third, stepped-wedge, cluster-randomized, Intensive Care Bundle with Blood Pressure Reduction in Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage Trial (INTERACT3), has shown that a goal-directed multi-faceted Care Bundle incorporating protocols for the management of physiological variables was safe and effective for improving functional recovery in a broad range of patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The INTERACT3 Care Bundle included time- and target-based protocols for the management of early intensive lowering of systolic blood pressure (SBP, target <140mmHg), glucose control (target 6.1-7.

Sitting time (ST) in the occupational domain has been linked to reduced wellbeing and quality-of-life. However, studies investigating the impact of reducing ST in these outcomes are scarce. An ancillary analysis using data from a RCT containing a 6-month sit-stand desk-based intervention, evaluated workers' changes in ST (objectively measured), and subjective wellbeing and quality-of-life.

The increasing use of chemical fungicides without effective control of phytopathogens has led to the development of resistance in microorganisms. As a promising alternative, products formulated with Trichoderma have emerged for their sustainable and effective potential in integrated disease management. However, the predominant formulations do not offer the necessary protection against abiotic factors.
