The fungus Biscogniauxia whalleyi SWUF13-085 from the Graphostomataceae family was studied for potential anti-inflammatory and anticancer agents. A diverse array of natural products was identified. Six of which were undescribed compounds, including xylariterpenoids L-N, (1R,2S,6R,7S)-1,2-dihydroxy-α-bisabolol, 6-[(1R)-1-hydroxy-1-methyl-2-propenyl]-4-methoxy-3-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one and (1R*,4S*,5S*,7S*,10R*)-guaia-11 (12)-en-7,10-diol. Several of the isolated compounds such as bergamotene, guaiane and phthalide derivatives showed activity in both the inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage cells with IC values in the range of 2.48-10.82 μg/mL and anti-proliferation against HeLa cells with IC values in the range of 8.64-31.16 μg/mL. While compounds such as cerebrosides A and C only exhibited inhibitory effects on NO production with IC values in the range of 4.45-10.28 μg/mL.

Background: Evidence is limited regarding the role of air pollution in acute lower respiratory infections among adults. We assessed the influence of long-term air pollution exposure on hospital admission for lower respiratory infections and whether there are vulnerable subgroups.
Methods: We used a populational cohort in Catalonia, Spain, comprising 3,817,820 adults residing in Catalonia as of January 1, 2015.

The health of a watershed is a crucial aspect that involves evaluating ecological, hydrological, and human factors to determine its overall well-being and functionality. Hydrological components are key parts of a watershed. Therefore, the present study aims to assess Watershed Hydrological Health (WHH) using the Pressure-State-Response (PSR) framework and to compare WHH priorities derived from Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approaches in the Gorganroud Watershed, Iran.

Objective: The study aimed to investigate the damage of white matter (WM) microstructure and structural network in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) using diffusion tensor imaging.
Methods: Tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) were used to compare the difference in WM fractional anisotropy (FA) between SLE and HCs groups. The differences in WM networks between groups are compared using graph theory.
