Coastal ecosystems play a major role in marine carbon budgets, but substantial uncertainties remain in the sources and fluxes of coastal carbon dioxide (CO). Here, we assess when, where, and how submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) releases CO to shallow coastal ecosystems. Time-series observations of dissolved CO and radon (Rn, a natural groundwater tracer) across 40 coastal systems from 14 countries revealed large SGD-derived CO fluxes.

Background: School physical education is an important population-level health intervention for improving youth fitness. This study estimated the impact of New York City's PE Works program - which included providing PE teachers, training for classroom teachers, and administrative/ teacher support for PE - on student cardiorespiratory fitness as measured by the FitnessGram's 15-meter PACER test for aerobic capacity.

Methods: This longitudinal study (2014/15-2018/19) includes 581 elementary schools (n = 315,999 4th /5th -grade students; 84% non-white; 74% who qualify for free or reduced-price meals, a proxy for socioeconomic status).

Oncocytic adrenal neoplasms, defined by ≥90 % of oncocytic cells, are rare. The significance of oncocytic changes within an adrenal neoplasm remains unclear. A retrospective study of adults who underwent adrenalectomy at a large center identified pure oncocytic neoplasms on final pathology (1997-2022).

Article Synopsis
  • The study reviewed 401 patients who underwent genetic testing for familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, with 83% testing negative for mutations and only 11% testing positive.
  • Findings showed that patients with mutations had lower median urine calcium levels compared to non-mutated patients, but no significant difference in parathyroid hormone levels across groups.
  • The effectiveness of urine calcium measurements and calcium-to-creatinine clearance ratios in identifying familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia was found to be poor, with areas under the curve indicating low diagnostic performance.
