A Collaborative and Scalable Geospatial Data Set for Arctic Retrogressive Thaw Slumps with Data Standards.

Arctic permafrost is undergoing rapid changes due to climate warming in high latitudes. Retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS) are one of the most abrupt and impactful thermal-denudation events that change Arctic landscapes and accelerate carbon feedbacks. Their spatial distribution remains poorly characterised due to time-intensive conventional mapping methods.

Antagonizing NK-1R modulates pain perception following corneal injury.

Substance P (SP) expressed by corneal nerves, is an 11-amino acid long neuropeptide from the tachykinin family, encoded by the Tac1 gene, and binds to neurokinin receptors. SP overexpression is associated with various pathological responses in the cornea including vasodilation, pain, inflammation, and angiogenesis in the normally avascular tissue. This study investigates the role of neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R) mediated signaling in nociception, nerve regeneration, and neuronal activation following mechanical corneal injury in mice.

Assessment of industrial effluent discharges contributing to Ganga water pollution through a multivariate statistical framework: investigating the context of Indian industries.

The swift industrial expansion has posed significant environmental challenges, particularly in the context of water pollution. Industrial effluents consist of substantial amounts of harmful pollutants that enter the main rivers via various tapped and untapped drains/local water streams, causing alterations in their physical and chemical properties. This study investigated 153 grossly polluting industries (GPIs) that were identified to release their effluents into the main rivers through different drains within multiple sectors in the industrial zone of four northern states of India in 2023.

Mycotic cyst: Case report.

Phaeohyphomycotic cyst is a common subcutaneous form of phaeohyphomycosis in which patients can present with subcutaneous plaques, nodules, etc., It is an infrequent presentation and is most reported in immunocompromised individuals. Diagnosis is confirmed by histopathological and mycological demonstration of the organism.

Ileal Pouch-Anal Anastomosis for Ulcerative Colitis: Predictors of Early and Late Complications.

Background Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is often considered the preferred surgical treatment for ulcerative colitis. This study was conducted to investigate the early and late complications of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis in patients with ulcerative colitis, as well as the factors associated with these complications. Methodology All relevant clinical and operative data of patients (n = 101) who underwent IPAA for ulcerative colitis between January 1995 and December 2018 were retrieved from a prospectively maintained database.
