Microcystin (MC), a hepatotoxin produced by cyanobacteria, was introduced into the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), Florida, in 2005 through freshwater outflows. Since then, MC has been detected in humans, domestic animals, and wildlife in the lagoon. Potential public health effects associated with MC exposure along the IRL include an increased risk of non-alcoholic liver disease among area residents.

Combined and highly active anti-retroviral therapies (cART) have transitioned HIV into a more chronic disease. Roughly half of people living with HIV (PLWH) still experience neurocognitive disorders, albeit less severely than in the pre-cART era. Sex-related effects on memory/cognition remain understudied, although the percentage of PLWH that are female has increased.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study found that 9.1% of DMD patients also had additional neuromuscular disorders, which can complicate their treatment and data accuracy in clinical trials.
  • * To improve treatment outcomes, it's suggested that expanded genetic testing be done on DMD patients to identify any secondary conditions before they enroll in clinical trials or start treatment.

Exploration of efficient molecular water oxidation catalysts for long-term application remains a key challenge for the conversion of renewable energy sources into fuels. Cuboidal {CoO} complexes keep attracting interest as molecular water oxidation catalysts as they combine features of both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis with bio-inspired motifs. However, the application of many cluster-based catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction still requires new stabilization strategies.
