Limited research has examined the effect of meal composition on sleep. Based on previous research, we hypothesized that a low glycemic index (LGI) drink containing 50 g isomaltulose (Palatinose, GI = 32) would result in more N3 sleep, less rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and better memory consolidation than a high glycemic index (HGI) drink containing 50 g glucose (GI = 100). Healthy males (n = 20) attended the laboratory on three occasions at least a week apart (one acclimatization night and two test nights).

Bacillus subtilis is known to promote root growth and improve plant physiology, while organic compost enhances soil water retention. This study explored the combined effect of inoculating B. subtilis in organic compost on soybean growth under water deficit.

Treated effluent of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are major sources of extracellular antimicrobial resistance genes (eARGs) into aquatic environments. This study aimed to clarify the fate and origins of eARGs from influent to treated effluent at a full-scale WWTP. The compositions of eARG and intracellular ARG (iARG) were acquired via shotgun metagenomic sequencing in influent wastewater, activated sludge, and treated effluent of the target WWTP, where identical wastewater was treated by conventional activated sludge (CAS) and membrane bioreactor (MBR) processes.

Globally, fish have been severely affected by the widespread, chronic degradation of fresh waters, with a substantial proportion of species declining in abundance or range in recent decades. This has especially been the case in densely populated countries with an industrial heritage and intensive agriculture, where the majority of river catchments have been affected by deteriorations in water quality and changes in land use. This study used a spatially and temporally extensive dataset, encompassing 16,124 surveys at 1180 sites representing a wide range of river typologies and pressures, to examine changes in the fish populations of England's rivers over four decades (1980s-2010s).

Chronic coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a significant global healthcare burden. Current risk assessment methods have notable limitations in early detection and risk stratification. Hence, there is an urgent need for innovative biomarkers that facilitate the premature CAD diagnosis, ultimately leading to reduction in associated morbidity and mortality rates.
