Climate anxiety is a phenomenon that is gaining importance due to the general public's increased awareness of the worsening climate crisis. At present, climate anxiety is not operationalized consistently across the existing literature. It is important to gain more consensus on the definition and operationalization of climate anxiety to facilitate reliable and generalizable research and to further develop interventions.

Investigating associations of dairy intake with early onset of type 2 diabetes offers opportunities for effective prevention of this condition.
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the relationships between the intake of different dairy types, prediabetes risk, and continuous glycemic outcomes.
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) have emerged as a promising tool for controlling soil-dwelling crop pests. However, their efficacy varies according to EPN populations and targeted hosts. Wireworms are polyphagous insects causing significant crop losses, especially since the ban on pesticides previously used for their control.

This study aimed to examine associations between baseline and changes in dairy consumption, risk of prediabetes, and glycaemic status.
Methods: 7521 participants from the prospective UK Fenland study were included (mean age 48.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of higher doses of fluconazole in critically ill patients receiving Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT), as there was limited clinical follow-up data on this practice.
- The research included patients on Continuous Veno-Venous Hemodialysis (CVVHD) and aimed to determine if target fluconazole levels were achieved with different dosing regimens.
- Results showed that a dosage of at least 400 mg twice daily was effective in reaching target levels for all patients, with this dose being the only significant factor affecting target attainment.
