Article Synopsis
- Stress-induced hyperglycaemia (SIH) occurs in non-diabetic patients during physiological stress and is linked to worse outcomes post-major trauma, but its prehospital predictive value for in-hospital mortality was studied.
- A retrospective study analyzed non-diabetic adults with major trauma; findings showed that patients with prehospital SIH had significantly higher injury severity, more severe physiological impairments, and a much higher in-hospital mortality rate (42.7% vs. 9.9%).
- The study concluded that prehospital SIH is a strong predictor of in-hospital mortality, suggesting the need for further research to integrate SIH into trauma care models.
Three-dimensional (3D) vegetation structure influences animal movements and, consequently, ecosystem functions. Animals disperse the seeds of 60%-90% of trees in tropical rainforests, which are among the most structurally complex ecosystems on Earth. Here, we investigated how 3D rainforest structure influences the movements of large, frugivorous birds and resulting spatial patterns of seed dispersal.

- Researchers developed a novel single-cell method called "Mirror" that allows for the study of nuclear non-coding RNAs by visualizing their pathways through cytoplasmic fluorescence.
- This technique successfully identified key components involved in the maturation and degradation of the long non-coding RNA MALAT1, as well as other RNA complexes critical for RNA processing.
- Additionally, the study found that the DEAD-box helicase DDX59 is associated with Oral-Facial-Digital syndrome and plays a role in stabilizing MALAT1 RNA, suggesting important links between these pathways and human diseases.
In Dickie et al. (2024), we contrasted the effects of climate and habitat alteration on white-tailed deer density, recognizing the role of both these factors. Barnas et al.

Refugee and asylum-seeking women are particularly susceptible to experiencing perinatal mental illness and may encounter a range of challenges in accessing healthcare. This scoping review sought to identify the enablers of and barriers to healthcare access and healthcare provision for refugee and asylum-seeking women experiencing perinatal mental illness in the WHO European Region.
