Article Synopsis
  • The conservation community is focusing on recovering species at risk of extinction, particularly in Maui, by implementing climate-resilient recovery plans for 36 native plant species.
  • A tailored spatial conservation prioritization (SCP) approach was developed, emphasizing transparency, flexibility, and expert engagement, consisting of generating multiple prioritization solutions and selecting the best based on expert-agreed criteria.
  • This method reduced the necessary conservation area by 36% while still ensuring high-quality habitats for species, proving more effective than existing tools like prioritizr by enhancing local recovery planning efforts.

Food systems contribute to multiple crises while failing to deliver healthy, nutritious food for all. A substantial amount of research suggests that the root cause of this issue lies in the complete integration of food systems within global capitalism and the consequent subordination of fairness and sustainability to profit accumulation. We draw on critical political economy to explore how the integration of food systems within global capitalism and their subordination to profit occur.

Rationale: Maintaining glycemic control of critically ill patients may impact outcomes such as survival, infection, and neuromuscular recovery, but there is equipoise on the target blood levels, monitoring frequency, and methods.

Objectives: The purpose was to update the 2012 Society of Critical Care Medicine and American College of Critical Care Medicine (ACCM) guidelines with a new systematic review of the literature and provide actionable guidance for clinicians.

Panel Design: The total multiprofessional task force of 22, consisting of clinicians and patient/family advocates, and a methodologist applied the processes described in the ACCM guidelines standard operating procedure manual to develop evidence-based recommendations in alignment with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation Approach (GRADE) methodology.

Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children. amplification is detected in almost half of high-risk cases and is associated with poorly differentiated tumors, poor patient prognosis and poor response to therapy, including retinoids. We identify the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) as a transcription factor promoting the growth and suppressing the differentiation of -amplified neuroblastoma.
