Background: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major concern in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) have different guidelines for SCD risk stratification. Their comparative performance in diverse populations remains uncertain.

Background: The increasing industrialization and hydrocarbon use have led to concerning soil contamination. Oil spills and improper disposal of oily waste pose threats to ecosystems and human health. The recovery of these environments is essential, but separating oily components from soil remains challenging.

Biofouling in freshwater and marine environments developed on man-made aquatic surfaces causes significant economic losses. Still, this problem is magnified when it comes to invasive species, such as the golden mussel. One of the alternatives to combat it is the use of antifouling solutions; however, the vast majority focus on solutions for the marine environment.

causes devastating vascular wilt diseases in numerous crop species, resulting in substantial yield losses. The - (FOC) model system enables the identification of meaningful genotype-phenotype correlations and was applied in this study to evaluate the effects of overexpressing an NLR gene () from against pathogen infection. overexpression (OE) lines exhibited enhanced resistance to FOC without any discernible phenotype penalties.

Carbon dioxide emissions are altering aquatic ecosystems by causing water acidification and temperature increases, and these environments are also facing pesticide contamination. We present a scientometric and systematic map of these impacts in continental aquatic environments, aiming to provide an overview of research investigating the effects of temperature and acidification on pesticide toxicity. Our findings reveal a significant increase in research output on this topic, especially over the past seven years, with the United States leading due to high pesticide use and rigorous environmental monitoring.
