Article Synopsis
  • The Global Mercury Observation System (GMOS) started as a five-year initiative to monitor atmospheric mercury and evolved into a major program supporting global mercury observation efforts under the Minamata Convention.
  • The network consists of 28 ground-based monitoring stations that provide comprehensive data on mercury levels across various latitudes, from the Arctic to the Antarctic.
  • Analysis of mercury data from 2011 to 2020 revealed a significant north-south gradient in mercury concentrations, with notable seasonal variations and decreasing trends in certain remote areas.

Article Synopsis
  • * Analysis showed that while LDL-cholesterol reductions over time were similar for both sexes, a higher percentage of males had existing cardiovascular disease both at enrollment and during follow-up compared to females.
  • * Notably, males experienced their first ASCVD event at a median age of 50.6 years, significantly earlier than females, who had their first event at a median age of 61.6 years, highlighting important sex-related differences in

Asymmetric hydrogenation (AH) of tetrasubstituted olefins generating two stereocenters is still an open topic. There are only a few reports on the AH of tetrasubstituted olefins with conjugated functional groups, while this process can create useful intermediates for the subsequent elaboration of relevant end products. Most of the tetrasubstituted olefins successfully submitted to AH belong to a small number of functional classes; remarkably, the AH of tetrasubstituted acyclic enones still represents an unsolved challenge.
