It was aimed to test the relation among the greenhouse gases emissions, economic growth, biofuels consumption, and militarization in G7 countries during the 1985-2015 period by Pedroni 1995 and panel Johansen tests and two long-run estimators-dynamic OLS and fully modified OLS. Long-run estimators found that economic growth and militarization have statistically significant positive impact on CO emission of G7 countries. Furthermore, the panel causality tests were applied: Dumitrescu and Hurlin (Econ Model 29(4):1450-1460, 2012) and panel Granger causality. These tests determined the causal relationship between the variables. The results of this paper implied that economic growth and biofuels consumption depend on militarization, and economic growth and militarization are granger causes of the greenhouse gases emissions.

Importance: Despite their importance to patients, health, and industry, the magnitude of investments in drug research and development (R&D) remain nebulous. New policies require more granular and transparent R&D cost estimates to better balance incentives for innovation and returns to developers.
Objective: To estimate per-drug R&D costs using a novel, reproduceable approach and to describe firm-level R&D costs per discrete unit of R&D activity (1 patient-month).

Major threats to the economic future of several nations include climate change, infectious pandemics, and drug-resistant bacteria. The rise and fall of each of these behaviors seems to conform to a U-shaped or inverted U-shaped curve. In academic medicine, stakeholders in the field (infection control personnel, epidemiologists, and vaccinologists) will argue that infectious outbreaks can be prevented by surveillance programs and the development of new drugs (antibiotics, vaccines, etc.

Background: Children with cystic fibrosis (CF) from socioeconomically deprived areas have poorer growth, worse lung function, and shorter life expectancy than their less-deprived peers. While early growth is associated with lung function around age 6, it is unclear whether improving early growth in the most deprived children reduces inequalities in lung function.
Methods: We used data from the UK CF Registry, tracking children born 2000-2010 up to 2016.

Peripheral nerve injury is a common clinical disease. Effective post-injury nerve repair remains a challenge in neurosurgery, and clinical outcomes are often unsatisfactory, resulting in social and economic burden. Particularly, the repair of long-distance nerve defects remains a challenge.

Background: The mental burden faced by university students in their early years is not frequently reported in the literature.
Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence and predictors of depression among preparatory (first) year university students using a predictive test developed from general health and well-being questionnaires.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among university students in the eastern region of Saudi Arabia from March 2023 to June 2023.
