Variations in land surface temperature increase in South-East Asian Cities.
Environ Monit Assess
January 2025
Climate change and global warming are terms used to describe the variation in the Earth's mean temperature as a result of human activities contributing to the formation of urban heat islands (UHI). One method for determining the temperature of a region is the land surface temperature (LST). The study of LSTs is important and closely related to climate change, as is the provision of convenient living and working conditions in cities, which support economic growth.

Plant-based antioxidants have the potential to block proinflammatory pathways and protect against oxidative damage, which could improve asthma management.
Objective: This review examines the role of plant-based antioxidants as adjuvant therapy on inflammatory markers and clinical outcomes of adults with asthma.
Article Synopsis
- * A systematic review analyzed 17 studies to assess the effectiveness of these diets on HbA1c levels (a measure of blood sugar control) but found inconclusive quantitative results, highlighting a gap in reliable dietary recommendations for T1D management.
- * Qualitative findings revealed four key themes affecting diet adherence: motivation, perceived health benefits, challenges faced, and the limited knowledge about these diets among participants, indicating
Article Synopsis
- Intracranial epidermoid cysts (ECs) are uncommon, non-cancerous growths usually located in specific areas of the brain, and they typically develop from leftover ectodermal cells from embryology.
- Although these cysts are present from birth, symptoms usually appear in middle age due to pressure effects on surrounding brain tissue.
- The case presented involves a 69-year-old man with an EC that unexpectedly ruptured and impacted brain tissue, highlighting a rare occurrence and contributing new insights to the understanding of these cysts.
Introduction: Regular physical activity benefits respiratory health by reducing the risk of developing asthma. This is achieved by reducing bronchial hyperresponsiveness and preventing lung function decline.
Aim: The objective of the study is to assess the prevalence of self-reported physical activity among asthma patients in the United States in 2021, based on demographic, socioeconomic, and healthcare access variables.
