The use of data for medical scientific research offers great potential for society as a whole, as the evaluation of large volumes of data with machine learning methods can result in new research approaches as well as new methods of diagnostics or treatment. However, the use of such data often fails due to high prerequisites or unclear requirements of data protection law.Processing of radiology data, such as MRI brain scans, is tied to specific risks for data subjects. This complicates the processing of such data for research purposes. Data trustees can help to reduce these risks through offering independent anonymization and pseudonymization services as well as secure processing environments in which health data is stored only for the time required for processing and analysis and is subsequently deleted.Thus, the use of data trustees can help to comply with data protection law, with risk-reduction being considered in favor of processing in decisions weighing the interests for and against data processing as necessary to comply with Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. j, Art. 89 Para 1 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GPDR) in conjunction with national law, or when assessing the compatibility of the secondary purpose of the processing with the purpose of collection. In this respect, the use of data trust models can contribute to the reduction of hurdles for the data processing of health data for scientific research purposes.

Habitat fragmentation represents a multifaceted global conservation threat, exerting both direct and indirect effects on individual animals and communities. Reptiles, particularly smaller species with limited migratory abilities, are especially vulnerable to these changes. This study examines how small reptiles adapt their life history strategies in fragmented habitats and determines whether their responses are primarily due to phenotypic plasticity or genetic adaptation.

Microcystin LR (MC-LR) pollution is a serious threat to aquatic ecosystems and public health in China and is an environmental problem that urgently needs to be solved. However, few studies have investigated the anaerobic degradation pathway and related molecular biological mechanisms of MC-LR. In this study, a bacterium capable of degrading MC-LR with a degradation efficiency of 0.

Dichlorvos (DDVP) is an organophosphorus pesticide commonly utilized in agricultural production. Recent epidemiological studies suggest that exposure to DDVP correlates with an increased incidence of liver disease. However, data regarding the hepatotoxicity of DDVP remain limited.

Importance: States have implemented multiple policies likely to influence opioid prescribing; few national general population studies examine those policies' effects on per-capita opioid morphine milligram equivalents (MME) dispensed.
Objective: To examine state policies' effects on opioids per-capita MMEs dispensed at retail pharmacies.
Design: A longitudinal study of associations between MME per capita and implementation of policy interventions at different times across states.

In clinical optical molecular imaging, the need for real-time high frame rates and low excitation doses to ensure patient safety inherently increases susceptibility to detection noise. Faced with the challenge of image degradation caused by severe noise, image denoising is essential for mitigating the trade-off between acquisition cost and image quality. However, prevailing deep learning methods exhibit uncontrollable and suboptimal performance with limited interpretability, primarily due to neglecting underlying physical model and frequency information.
