Camera traps are widely used in wildlife research and monitoring, so it is imperative to understand their strengths, limitations, and potential for increasing impact. We investigated a decade of use of wildlife cameras (2012-2022) with a case study on Australian terrestrial vertebrates using a multifaceted approach. We (i) synthesised information from a literature review; (ii) conducted an online questionnaire of 132 professionals; (iii) hosted an in-person workshop of 28 leading experts representing academia, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and government; and (iv) mapped camera trap usage based on all sources.

Over- and under-resuscitation contribute to increased overall hospital costs, and morbidity and mortality rates. The primary objective of this study was to identify potential racial disparities that may exist during the initial fluid resuscitation after burn injury.

- Candidemia is a major concern in critically ill patients, significantly affecting their morbidity and mortality, and is linked to various risk factors.
- A retrospective study of 91 non-neutropenic critically ill adults examined the relationship between antifungal therapy effectiveness and patient outcomes, finding that improper or delayed treatment increased mortality rates.
- Key risk factors for higher mortality included mechanical ventilation, vasopressor therapy, end-stage renal disease, and multiple organ failures; patients receiving inadequate antifungal therapy had a much higher mortality rate (64%) compared to those receiving appropriate treatment (29%).
Introduction: Hypercalcemia in critically ill patients is associated with an increased severity of illness and mortality that becomes worse as the levels rise. Pamidronate was evaluated for the treatment of hypercalcemia in critically ill surgical patients.
Methods: This retrospective study evaluated 30 critically ill surgical patients who developed hypercalcemia (ionized calcium (iCa)≥1.
Robust QTLs conferring resistance to bacterial leaf streak in wheat were mapped on chromosomes 3B and 5A from the variety Boost and on chromosome 7D from the synthetic wheat line W-7984. Bacterial leaf streak (BLS), caused by Xanthomonas translucens pv. undulosa poses a significant threat to global wheat production.
