Sustainability is a target that involves many socio-ecological questions, depends on opportunities and combines different initiatives. This can be especially difficult in regions with high biodiversity scores, mega cities, high level of human populations and an intense and long-standing land use. Here, we show how a mega trail, named Atlantic Forest Trail, within the Brazilian Atlantic Forest can join the protection of biodiversity and sustainable tourism through a 4270 km corridor connecting protected areas and crossing a variety of landscapes. Further, we show some initiatives of ongoing biodiversity monitoring, and an analysis of ecological restoration in private lands that can be applied in many regions to improve habitat connectivity for both biodiversity and human use.

The Global ECT MRI Research Collaboration (GEMRIC) has collected clinical and neuroimaging data of patients treated with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) from around the world. Results to date have focused on neuroimaging correlates of antidepressant response. GEMRIC sites have also collected longitudinal cognitive data.

Background And Purpose: Executive function impairment, a slight but noticeable cognitive deficit in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients, is influenced by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels. Reduced cognitive function is accompanied by thinning of the cerebral cortex, which has higher GABA levels than white matter. However, the relationships among GABA levels, cortical thickness, and executive function in MCI patients have not yet been elucidated.

Department of Biomedical Sciences, Humanitas University, Pieve Emanuele, Milan, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- The guidelines aim to update the 2017 clinical practice guideline (CPG) from the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM), focusing on adult patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), including cases related to COVID-19.
- An international panel of clinical experts collaborated to create these guidelines, using established methods like the PRISMA statement for systematic reviews and the GRADE approach for assessing evidence quality and making recommendations.
- The CPG responds to 21 specific questions and offers recommendations across several areas, such as respiratory support strategies (like high-flow nasal cannula and non-invasive ventilation) and includes expert opinions on clinical practices and future research directions.
Evaluation of cognitive functions in adult individuals with COVID-19.

Department of Electroneurophysiology, Health Vocational School Istanbul Medipol University, Istanbul, Turkey.
Background And Purpose: Cognitive deficits that are associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and occur in the acute period are gaining importance. While most studies have focused on the elderly severely affected during acute infection, it remains unclear whether mild to moderate COVID-19 results in cognitive deficits in young patients. This study aims to evaluate the post-infection cognitive functions of young adults with mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19.
