Article Synopsis
  • Effect-Directed Analysis (EDA) was utilized to pinpoint bioactive compounds in surface and well water from the Upper Rhine, assessing their persistence and toxicity based on PMT and vPvM criteria.
  • A multi-layered solid-phase extraction enriched polar substances, leading to the fractionation of samples into 108 parts that underwent testing with specific bioassays to identify bioactive compounds.
  • The study successfully identified ten bioactive substances, including several classified as PMT/vPvM, highlighting the role of EDA in environmental risk assessment and regulatory prioritization.

Background: Family partaking in writing practices, such as writing intensive care unit (ICU) patient diaries, personal diaries/journaling, social media, or instant messaging services, during ICU admission may allow the family to unintentionally participate in a form of expressive writing. These writing practices could provide structure for the family authors to explore emotions and manage significant life events, including death of a loved one. Limited studies have explored the family's postmortem experiences and perceived value of writing practices maintained during an ICU admission.

Background: Bereavement support is a vital part of caring for families when a patient dies in the intensive care unit (ICU). Previous research has demonstrated that while many ICUs provide some informal aspects of bereavement care, formalised follow-up programmes are uncommon. The impacts of COVID-19 on ICU-based bereavement support are currently unknown.

Our daily lives unfold continuously, yet our memories are organised into distinct , situated in a specific context of space and time, and chunked when this context changes (at ). Previous research showed that this process, termed , object-context binding but temporal order memory. Physiologically, peaks in pupil dilation index , similar to emotion-induced bursts of autonomic arousal.
