The seasonal variation in all admissions of all types of cerebrovascular disease within the West Midlands Region was examined between the years 1973-1980. There was a fluctuation for both sexes with a peak in winter, between the months of October and April; a trough was observed in late summer, in July and August. Multivariate analysis of the meteorological factors showed an association between hours of sunshine and intracerebral haemorrhage. The meterological variables were strongly correlated with each other making the selection of the most predictable variable to stroke difficult.

The extensive use of antibiotics has led to their frequent detection as residues in the environment. However, monitoring of their levels in groundwater and the associated ecological and health risks remains limited, and the impact of river pollution on groundwater is still unclear. This study focused on the highly urbanized Maozhou River and its groundwater.

Symbiotic microbiota are important drivers of host behaviour, health, and fitness. While most studies focus on humans, model organisms, and domestic or economically important species, research investigating the role of host microbiota in wild populations is rapidly accumulating. Most studies focus on the gut microbiota; however, skin and other glandular microbiota also play an important role in shaping traits that may impact host fitness.

Various modelling techniques are available to understand the temporal and spatial variations of the phenology of species. Scientists often rely on correlative models, which establish a statistical relationship between a response variable (such as species abundance or presence-absence) and a set of predominantly abiotic covariates. The choice of the modeling approach, i.

Snakebites are critical medical emergencies that significantly contribute to emergency department visits during monsoon seasons. This case report details a patient who experienced simultaneous arterial and venous thrombosis of major intracranial vessels due to venom-induced consumptive coagulopathy. Additionally, the patient developed diffuse alveolar haemorrhage (DAH), highlighting the severe impact of these uncommon complications on prognosis.

Floating photovoltaics (FPVs), solar panels installed on floating structures in freshwater ecosystems such as lakes, represent a growing renewable technology aimed at decarbonizing the energy sector. However, robust empirical assessments of its environmental effects are still lacking. We used a Before-After-Control-Impact design replicated at the ecosystem level (n = 6 lakes: three lakes with FPV compared to three non-FPV lakes) to determine the global effects of FPV on water temperature over three years and allowing to isolate FPV effects from natural variability.
