Geology and climate drive alpine plant compositional variation among peaks in the Cascade Range of Washington.

Alpine areas are host to diverse plant communities that support ecosystems through structural and floral resources and persist through specialized adaptations to harsh high-elevation conditions. An ongoing question in these plant communities is whether composition is shaped by stochastic processes (e.g.

State-wise variation and inequalities in caesarean delivery rates in India: analysis of the National Family Health Survey-5 (2019-2021) data.

Background: India's caesarean delivery (CD) rate of 21.5% suggests adequate national access to CD but may mask significant disparities. We examined variation in CD rates across states (geography), wealth, and health care sector (public versus private).

Plasma transfusion in the intensive care unit.

Background: Current guidelines discourage prophylactic plasma use in non-bleeding patients. This study assesses global plasma transfusion practices in the intensive care unit (ICU) and their alignment with current guidelines.

Study Design And Methods: This was a sub-study of an international, prospective, observational cohort.
