Like many hydrophobic organic compounds, 3,3'-dichlorobenzidine (DCB) partitions preferentially to (sediment) particles in lake systems. As such, the behavior of DCB in these systems is substantially affected by the movement of sediments. A field investigation of DCB distribution in sediments of Lake Macatawa (Holland, MI, USA) was initiated. The pattern of DCB distribution within the lake was found to display an oscillatory pattern that was consistent with a wind-driven mechanism of sediment transport. Numerical modeling of seiching behavior supported the hypothesized importance of this mechanism of sediment transport and redistribution. The dynamic behavior of sediment-associated DCB within Lake Macatawa seems to be strongly influenced by phenomena that are common to many freshwater estuaries. As such, the behavior of this system is expected to represent a reasonable model of the dynamic behavior of hydrophobic contaminants in other freshwater estuaries.

Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) are important sulfur compounds influenced by community assemblages of plankton. The distributions of DMS, DMSP, DMSP lyase activity (DLA), DMSP-consuming bacteria (DCB), and community structures of phytoplankton and zooplankton were investigated during summer in the Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea. The variety ranges of DMS, dissolved DMSP (DMSP), and particulate DMSP (DMSP) concentrations in the surface seawater were 1.

Article Synopsis
- The Brazilian spongiofauna, particularly in the Northeastern region, remains largely unexplored, with previous research mainly focused on deeper waters and oceanic islands.
- This study examined the biodiversity of marine sponges at two intertidal beaches in Rio Grande do Norte, collecting samples quarterly from August 2018 to May 2019 during low tide.
- A total of 19 sponge species were identified, improving knowledge of the area and noting six new taxa occurrences, contributing significantly to the understanding of spongiofauna in the region.

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-evaluated tissue morphology on recurrence following drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty for the treatment of femoropopliteal in-stent restenosis (FP-ISR).
Methods: This study was a single-center, retrospective, observational study. Study subjects were 65 FP-ISR lesions (mean lesion length: 165 ± 88 mm, occlusive restenosis: 25%) in 53 patients (age: 76 ± 8, diabetes mellitus: 66%) who underwent DCB angioplasty and whose IVUS data of tissue morphology were available.

Article Synopsis
- Recent studies suggest that demineralized cortical bone (DCB) can help repair tendons and ligaments like the ACL and patellar tendon.
- The research aimed to see if heat treatment and hydrogen peroxide (HO) treatment decreased DCB’s ability to induce bone formation (osteoinductivity) by preparing different DCB types and observing their characteristics.
- Results showed that both heat and HO treatments reduced osteoinductivity and effective removal of important bone proteins, with HO treatment being more effective in inhibiting the bone formation process compared to heat treatment.
