Understanding species distribution across habitats and environmental variables is important to inform area-based management. However, observational data are often lacking, particularly from developing countries, hindering effective conservation design. One such data-poor area is the Gulf of Guinea, an understudied and biodiverse region where coastal waters play a critical role in coastal livelihoods.

Aims: Doxorubicin (DXR) is a chemotherapeutic agent that causes dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. Recently, it has been proposed that the NADase CD38 may play a role in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). CD38 is the main NAD+-catabolizing enzyme in mammalian tissues.

Sea turtles are vulnerable to climate change since their reproductive output is influenced by incubating temperatures, with warmer temperatures causing lower hatching success and increased feminization of embryos. Their ability to cope with projected increases in ambient temperatures will depend on their capacity to adapt to shifts in climatic regimes. Here, we assessed the extent to which phenological shifts could mitigate impacts from increases in ambient temperatures (from 1.

Introduction: Although youth-friendly service characteristics have been previously identified, consensus among a representative group of stakeholders about which of these characteristics are truly relevant to the youth-friendliness of services is currently lacking. In our study, young adults, parents and professionals were consulted on this topic to reveal existing (dis)agreement. In addition, (dis)agreement on feasibility for implementation in clinical practice was also assessed.

Article Synopsis
  • This research investigates the relationship between work status and educational differences in the use of benzodiazepine receptor agonists (BzRAs) among working-age adults in Belgium, focusing on how work status might explain variations in BzRA usage independent of mental health.
  • Data from the Belgian Health Interview Survey (2004-2018) show a decline in BzRA usage over time, with those having shorter education and those who are unemployed, (pre-)retired, or disabled using BzRAs more frequently than employed individuals.
  • The study suggests that work status partially mediates educational differences in BzRA use, and highlights that the increasing medicalisation of social issues leads to treating broader societal problems as
