Neutrophils are abundant innate immune cells with crucial roles in immunity and vascular inflammation. Recent evidence indicates that neutrophils have a dual role in malaria, contributing to both pathogenesis and control of Plasmodium. We discuss emerging mechanisms behind these opposing functions and identify key outstanding questions.

Methylmercury contamination in Mediterranean seafood: Exposure assessment and cost of illness implications.
Sci Total Environ
December 2024
Université Côte d'Azur, CNRS, ECOSEAS, France. Electronic address:
Methylmercury (MeHg) is a widespread contaminant that bioaccumulates in marine food webs, including those in the Mediterranean sea. It poses serious health risks, especially to developing infants and children, where exposure can cause neurological damage and developmental delays. In addition to health concerns, high MeHg levels in seafood can lead to economic losses through cognitive impairments that reduce productivity.

Article Synopsis
- * These technologies pave the way for decentralized clinical trials, allowing for a more inclusive study population, reduced costs, and faster access to new treatments.
- * The discussion includes the use of digital endpoints, different trial designs, a specific example of a fully decentralized asthma trial, and examines the pros and cons of these methods from various perspectives (clinicians, patients, and regulators).
A discrete choice latent class method for capturing unobserved heterogeneity in cyclist crossing behaviour at crosswalks.
Accid Anal Prev

Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Dr, Ottawa, ON K1S 5B6, Canada. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- Conflicts between cyclists and motorized vehicles at crosswalks often lead to serious accidents, and there is a lack of research on cyclist behavior specifically at roundabout crosswalks.
- To address this issue, a new method called discrete choice latent class is proposed to analyze the different behaviors of cyclists based on various factors, including site-level and individual-level characteristics.
- The study identifies two classes of cyclists: "passers," who tend to be aggressive and speed through without overtaking, and "followers," who are more cautious, especially in the presence of cars, which can help improve safety measures at roundabouts.
A study on the performance of enhancing environmental protection from molecular iodine using granular impregnated activated carbon.
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int

Hazardous Air Pollutants Laboratory, Pakistan Institute of Engineering & Applied Sciences, Islamabad, Pakistan.
Environmentally hazardous radioactive isotopes of iodine may be released from a nuclear power plant as a by-product of uranium fission. The efficient and safe capture of volatile radioiodine is of great significance in the history of nuclear power plants. Due to its high volatility and carcinogenic characteristics, elimination of iodine gas (I) from air is the need of the hour from an environmental and health point of view.

November 2024

Article Synopsis
- - The paper explores how Knowledge Graphs (KGs) can facilitate real-time human interventions in AI-driven manufacturing processes in the evolving Industry 5.0 environment to enhance system performance under dynamic conditions.
- - It advocates for a "late shaping" design approach, allowing for adaptability and integration of human intelligence during runtime, contrasting with the traditional "early shaping" method that fixes system behavior at the design phase.
- - The discussion includes insights from the European project Teaming.AI, focusing on challenges such as domain expertise modeling, vertical knowledge integration, and dynamically populating KGs for improved relational machine learning outcomes.
