The results of radiometric and haematological studies of striped field mice (Apodemus agrarius) sampled over the years 1995-2003 from the territory of the preserved radioactive waste burial (RWB), which is located in the Moscow recreation forest "Kuzminki", are presented and discussed in the paper. It was shown that the level of 90Sr-90Y content in mice sampled from the RWB area varies within the range of 0-1200 Bq/kg with an average of 98.7+/-21.5 Bq/kg. The content of 90Sr-90Y in the body of 80% of the mice sampled from the RWB area was below 100 Bq/kg. Only in 4% of the sampled mice, the 90Sr-90Y specific radioactivity was above 300 Bq/kg. Haematological indications of the animals sampled from the RWB area were within the range of normal physiological fluctuations. Nevertheless, a slight but statistically significant increase in the average amount of erythrocytes and the average percentage of banded neutrophils was registered in peripheral blood of the mice.

Article Synopsis
- This study highlights the health risks associated with oxygenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OPAHs) and their need for monitoring alongside traditional PAHs to evaluate urban health impacts.
- An extensive sampling campaign in Athens, Greece, revealed seasonal variations in polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs), primarily influenced by residential wood burning, especially during winter.
- The impact of external factors like biomass burning and the COVID-19 lockdown on PAC levels was significant, emphasizing the importance of regulating biomass burning to improve urban air quality.
Functional phenotypes in schizophrenia spectrum disorders: defining the constructs and identifying biopsychosocial correlates using data-driven methods.

Functional impairments contribute to poor quality of life in schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD). We sought to (Objective I) define the main functional phenotypes in SSD, then (Objective II) identify key biopsychosocial correlates, emphasizing interpretable data-driven methods. Objective I was tested on independent samples: Dataset I (N = 282) and Dataset II (N = 317), with SSD participants who underwent assessment of multiple functioning areas.

Tacrolimus (TAC) has high pharmacokinetic (PK) variability during the early transplantation period. The relationships between whole-blood and intracellular TAC concentrations and clinical outcomes remain controversial. This study identifies the factors affecting the PK variability of TAC and characterizes the relationships between whole-blood and intracellular TAC concentrations.

Background: Individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) often demonstrate cognitive impairments, associated with poor functional outcomes. While neurobiological heterogeneity has posed challenges when examining social cognition in SSD, it provides a unique opportunity to explore brain-behavior relationships. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between individual variability in functional connectivity during resting state and the performance of a social task and social and non-social cognition in a large sample of controls and individuals diagnosed with SSD.
