Article Synopsis
- Refractory black carbon (rBC) can significantly contribute to ice melt when it settles on snow and ice surfaces, and its sources include both long-range transport and local activities.
- The study used detailed measurements and data analysis from the Antarctic Peninsula to evaluate the effects of rBC from both tourism and Southern Hemisphere fires, finding a rise in rBC concentrations during late spring-summer.
- Results indicate that while local tourism impacts rBC levels regionally, both local and distant emissions need to be addressed to mitigate ice melt in the area.
Objective: To examine treatment outcomes for classes of ADHD drugs in conjunction with physicians' prescribing rationales and the utility of treatment perseverance in treatment effectiveness.
Methods: A retrospective non-interventional study using physician-provided chart data for treated adolescent and adult ADHD patients in the United States (April-June 2019). Multivariable analyses compared the effectiveness and tolerability of drug classes.
Vertebral artery dissections are a rare pathology that carries a high risk of stroke in a younger population. They may be caused by minor mechanisms and the index of suspicion should be high. Treatment with anticoagulation or antiplatelets should follow if no surgical management is indicated.

We assessed the dermal toxicity and toxicokinetics following a once-daily application of 7.5% (w/v) and 10% (w/v) PVP-I in Göttingen Minipigs® for up to 39 weeks.

We combined atmospheric circulation data with microorganism content in snow/firn samples collected in two sites of the Antarctic Peninsula (King George Island/Wanda glacier and Detroit Plateau) by using flow cytometer quantification. In addition, we cultivated, isolated and submitted samples to molecular sequencing to precise species classification.
