We describe continental-scale increases in lake and stream total phosphorus (TP) concentrations, identified through periodic probability surveys of thousands of water bodies in the conterminous U.S. The increases, observed over the period 2000-2014 were most notable in sites in relatively undisturbed catchments and where TP was initially low (e.g., less than 10 μg L(-1)). Nationally, the percentage of stream length in the U.S. with TP ≤ 10 μg L(-1) decreased from 24.5 to 10.4 to 1.6% from 2004 to 2009 to 2014; the percentage of lakes with TP ≤ 10 μg L(-1) decreased from 24.9 to 6.7% between 2007 and 2012. Increasing TP concentrations appear to be ubiquitous, but their presence in undeveloped catchments suggests that they cannot be entirely attributed to either point or common non-point sources of TP.

Differential tissue accumulation in the invasive Manila clam, Ruditapes philippinarum, under two environmentally relevant lanthanum concentrations.

Among the environmental emerging concern rare earth elements, lanthanum (La) is one of the most common and reactive. Lanthanum is widely used in numerous modern technologies and applications, and its intense usage results in increasing discharges into the environment, with potentially deleterious consequences to earthlings. Therefore, we exposed the important food resource and powerful monitoring tool Manila clam to two environmentally relevant concentrations of La (0.

Article Synopsis
- Recent studies have identified a new type of inflammation (T2-high endotype) in bronchiectasis, which contrasts with the previously accepted neutrophilic inflammation.
- A cross-sectional study found that 31% of bronchiectasis patients without asthma exhibited characteristics of the T2-high endotype, leading to more severe symptoms and reduced quality of life.
- In a separate case series, severe asthmatic patients with bronchiectasis showed significant reduction in exacerbation rates after treatment with mepolizumab or benralizumab, highlighting the potential benefits of targeting the T2-high endotype in future clinical trials.
Usefulness of Hybrid Magnetoliposomes for Aminoglycoside Antibiotic Residues Determination in Food Using an Integrated Microfluidic System with Fluorometric Detection.

A new microfluidic approach using hybrid magnetoliposomes (h-MLs) containing hydrophobic magnetic nanoparticles (FeO@AuNPs-C12SH) and encapsulated -acetylcysteine has been developed in this research to determine aminoglycoside antibiotic (AAG) residues in food using -phthalaldehyde. Four AAGs, kanamycin, streptomycin, gentamicin, and neomycin, have been used as model analytes. The h-MLs have been used for reagent preconcentration and were retained using an external electromagnet device in the reaction/detection zone in a microfluidic system, inserted into the sample chamber of a conventional fluorimeter.

The aim of the present work was to assess the efficiency of biochars obtained from the co-gasification of blends of rice husk + corn cob (biochar 50CC) and rice husk + eucalyptus stumps (biochar 50ES), as potential renewable low-cost adsorbents for Cr(III) recovery from wastewaters. The two gasification biochars presented a weak porous structure (A = 63-144 m g), but a strong alkaline character, promoted by a high content of mineral matter (59.8% w/w of ashes for 50CC biochar and 81.

Article Synopsis
- * It included 120 participants aged 40-70 over a period of 56 days, split into two groups receiving either the VMP or a placebo, with various blood nutrient levels and heart health biomarkers measured throughout.
- * Results showed that VMP supplementation increased key nutrients like quercetin and vitamin C, while also reducing harmful heart health markers such as homocysteine and gamma-glutamyl transferase, suggesting overall heart health benefits from the VMP.
