Background: This paper addresses the importance of timely and robust information systems that underpin emergency response decision-making, as evidenced during the COVID-19 pandemic in the WHO European Region. Recognizing the relevance of these systems, we propose the strengthening of national emergency response information management systems (ERIMS) within the broader digital health information system (HIS) framework. We aim to develop and present an innovative assessment tool designed to evaluate and assist in the strengthening of ERIMS, contributing to a more resilient and effective emergency response.

Physical exercise influences heart rate variability and cardiac autonomic modulation. Thus, our objective was to systematically review, with a meta-analysis, the correlation between physical exercise interventions and alterations in cardiac autonomic modulation in hemodialysis patients.

- - The study explores the use of essential oil (PDEO) from Brazilian Amazon plants as an eco-friendly inhibitor for steel corrosion in hydrochloric acid, showing effective corrosion rates and inhibition efficiency over time.
- - Different concentrations of PDEO (0.5-4 g/L) were tested, with the optimal results at 2 g/L demonstrating a corrosion rate of 4.31 mm/year and an impressive inhibition efficiency of 98.3% after 7 days.
- - Analysis revealed that key compounds in PDEO (methyleugenol and eugenol) contribute to corrosion resistance, and the adsorption process follows the Langmuir isotherm model, indicating favorable interaction between PDEO and the steel surface.
Article Synopsis
- Ruminants, like dairy cows, can digest plant materials that humans cannot, thanks to the microbes in their rumen that provide essential nutrients for growth and milk production.
- This study aimed to explore the genetic and microbial factors influencing feed efficiency in lactating Holstein cows by analyzing their intake and milk production data alongside their genetic makeup.
- The researchers discovered genetic regions linked to the abundance of certain rumen microbes, revealing complex interactions where the cow's genome directly and indirectly influences feed efficiency and microbial populations, suggesting implications for breeding practices.
