Methane cycling in temperate forests.

Temperate forest soils are considered significant methane (CH) sinks, but other methane sources and sinks within these forests, such as trees, litter, deadwood, and the production of volatile organic compounds are not well understood. Improved understanding of all CH fluxes in temperate forests could help mitigate CH emissions from other sources and improve the accuracy of global greenhouse gas budgets. This review highlights the characteristics of temperate forests that influence CH flux and assesses the current understanding of the CH cycle in temperate forests, with a focus on those managed for specific purposes.

Multimodal Artificial Intelligence in Medicine.

Traditional medical artificial intelligence models that are approved for clinical use restrict themselves to single-modal data ( e.g ., images only), limiting their applicability in the complex, multimodal environment of medical diagnosis and treatment.

Severe and enduring anorexia nervosa and the proposed "Terminal anorexia" category: an expanded meta synthesis.

This updated meta-synthesis explores further dimensions of the lived experience of severe and enduring anorexia nervosa (SE-AN) since recent contention regarding proposed "terminal anorexia nervosa (T-AN)". The paper aims to update the original synthesis and to situate participant responses to the category of "T-AN". Thus, extending the proposed conceptualization of the SE-AN experience.

California Case Study of Wildfires and Prescribed Burns: PM Emissions, Concentrations, and Implications for Human Health.

Wildfires are a significant threat to human health, in part through degraded air quality. Prescribed burning can reduce wildfire severity but can also lead to an increase in air pollution. The complexities of fires and atmospheric processes lead to uncertainties when predicting the air quality impacts of fire and make it difficult to fully assess the costs and benefits of an expansion of prescribed fire.

Novel multispectral imaging to predict disease progression in pediatric morphea.

Background: Morphea, or localized scleroderma, is an inflammatory, fibrosing skin disorder that can be progressive and debilitating. Infrared thermography frequently has false positive results. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of multispectral imaging to predict disease progression in children with morphea.
