This study uses an oceanic energy budget to estimate the ocean heat transport convergence in the North Atlantic during 2005-2018. The horizontal convergence of the ocean heat transport is estimated using ocean heat content tendency primarily derived from satellite altimetry combined with space gravimetry. The net surface energy fluxes are inferred from mass-corrected divergence of atmospheric energy transport and tendency of the ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis combined with top-of-the-atmosphere radiative fluxes from the clouds and the Earth's radiant energy system project.

- Asian individuals are at a higher risk for gestational diabetes in the U.S., with a notable prevalence rate of 12.3% among Asian pregnancies compared to 6.5% overall.
- Data indicates that prepregnancy hypertension increases this risk significantly, with 29.3% of hypertensive Asian subjects affected.
- There are considerable differences in gestational diabetes risk across various Asian subgroups, emphasizing the necessity for personalized screening and interventions based on specific ancestry and maternal nativity.
Biosolids can provide a nutrient rich soil amendment, particularly for poor soils and semi-arid or drought-prone areas. However, there are concerns that sludge and biosolids could be a source of propagation and exposure to AMR determinants such as antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB), and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). To inform risk assessment efforts, a systematic literature review was performed to build a comprehensive spreadsheet database of ARB and ARG concentrations in biosolids (and some sludges specified as intended for land application), along with 69 other quantitative and qualitative meta-data fields from 68 published studies describing sampling information and processing methods that can be used for modeling purposes.

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) have emerged as key contributors to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, facilitating tumor progression, immune evasion, and resistance to therapies. This review explores the role of MDSC in bladder cancer, highlighting their involvement in immune regulation; tumor progression; and resistance to therapies such as bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy, chemotherapy, and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).
