Article Synopsis
- Lyme disease (LD) is the most common vector-borne illness in the U.S., and this study examines how climate change affects its incidence, particularly in the eastern and upper Midwest regions.
- Climate models predict an increase in Ixodes scapularis habitat suitability, leading to an estimated rise in LD cases—up to 38% with a 3°C increase and 145% with 6°C.
- Projected economic impacts include a significant rise in healthcare costs, estimated at $236 million annually at the 3°C warming mark, highlighting the importance of preparing for LD in the context of climate change.
Marine ecosystems and their associated biodiversity sustain life on Earth and hold intrinsic value. Critical marine ecosystem services include maintenance of global oxygen and carbon cycles, production of food and energy, and sustenance of human wellbeing. However marine ecosystems are swiftly being degraded due to the unsustainable use of marine environments and a rapidly changing climate.

However, the biological processes that occur following clipping are poorly understood. To better understand these effects, retrieved and clipped human intracranial aneurysms were examined histologically.

Materials And Methods: In 12 pigs, embolization of renal, gluteal, and hepatic or thoracic arteries was performed with either injectable hydrogel embolic devices (two arteries per pig) or an AZUR device (one artery per pig). Follow-up angiography was performed before sacrifice in five pigs at 7 days after embolization and seven pigs at 90 days after embolization.
