Two new glycerides, didemnacerides A (1) and B (2), together with three known sterols, 24-ethyl-25-hydroxycholesterol (3), cholest-6-en-3,5,8-triol (4) and cholestane-3β,5α,6β-26-tetrol (5), were isolated from the Red Sea ascidian Didemnum sp. Their structures were elucidated by using extensive 1D ((1)H, (13)C) and 2D ((1)H-(1)H COSY, HSQC and HMBC) NMR studies and mass spectroscopic data (GC-MS and HR-MS) as well as alkaline hydrolysis followed by GC-MS and NMR spectral analyses of the fatty acid methyl esters. This is the first report of compounds 3-5 from the Red Sea ascidian Didemnum species.

Implications of conflict on vaccination in the Sahel region.
BMJ Glob Health
January 2025
The University of Sydney School of Public Health, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
The Sahel region is a geographical belt in Africa that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea, between the Sahara Desert in the north and the Savannah in the south. It is characterised by challenging environmental crises and conflicts. This analysis highlights the potential implications of conflict on vaccination across five Sahel countries, including Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Niger and Sudan, from 2019 to 2023.

Department of Geoinformatics, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, India.
On 3 October 2023, a multihazard cascade in the Sikkim Himalaya, India, was triggered by 14.7 million m of frozen lateral moraine collapsing into South Lhonak Lake, generating an ~20 m tsunami-like impact wave, breaching the moraine, and draining ~50 million m of water. The ensuing Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) eroded ~270 million m of sediment, which overwhelmed infrastructure, including hydropower installations along the Teesta River.

Aim: Located in the Southwest Indian Ocean area (SIOA), the two French overseas territories (FOTs) of Reunion and Mayotte islands are heavily impacted by antimicrobial resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate all cases of NDM-5 and OXA-181 carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli (CPEc) in these two FOTs between 2015 and 2020, to better understand the regional spread of these last-line treatment resistant bacteria.

Changes in physical characteristics of extreme rainfall events during the Indian summer monsoon based on downscaled and bias-corrected CMIP6 models.
Sci Rep

Centre for Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, School of Physics, University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad, India.
We identified a set of bias-corrected and downscaled Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 (CMIP6) models capable of accurately simulating the observed mean Indian summer monsoon rainfall, extreme rain events (EREs) and their respective interannual variability. The future changes in EREs projected by these models for four climate change scenarios-Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), 1-2.6, 2-4.

Two Gram-stain-negative, curved-rod-shaped, non-motile and aerobic bacteria W6 and I13 were isolated from marine sediment samples collected from Meishan Island located in the East China Sea. Catalase and oxidase activities and hydrolysis of Tween 40, 60 and 80 were positive for both strains, while nitrate reduction, indole production, methyl red reaction and HS production were negative. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA and genome sequences revealed that strains W6 and I13 formed distinct phylogenetic lineages within the genera and , respectively.
