Article Synopsis
- Extreme climatic events (ECEs) like marine heatwaves pose serious threats to biodiversity, highlighting the need for understanding ecological responses to these recurring events.
- Researchers used a "multiple events" approach to study the effects of recurrent ECEs on the temperate coral Paramuricea clavata, assessing factors like environmental, genetic, and phenotypic influences over three years.
- Findings indicated that environmental impacts were the primary drivers of coral responses, with limited evidence of genetic adaptability, suggesting that P. clavata populations face significant challenges due to ongoing heat stress and may struggle to recover.
According to many research groups, high glucose induces the overproduction of superoxide anions, with reactive oxygen species (ROS) generally being considered the link between high glucose levels and the toxicity seen at cellular levels. Respiratory complex anomalies can lead to the production of ROS. Calcium [Ca] at physiological levels serves as a second messenger in many physiological functions.

Discrepancies between the knowledge-based high school learning approach and the experiential approach of future studies leaves some students disillusioned by STEM. We present Discovery, a term-long inquiry-focused learning model delivered by STEM graduate students in collaboration with high school teachers, in the context of biomedical engineering.

Methods: Full-time students from multiple colleges in China were recruited. A total of 1040 completed questionnaires were used in the final analysis.
Congenital malformations are one of the leading causes of neonates and infants' mortality and morbidity. The frequency of these congenital malformations varies in different populations. The objective of this study was to find out the prevalence and pattern of congenital malformations in a tertiary teaching hospital in Rabat, Morocco.
