Residence time of an element in the ocean is a consequence of its chemical behaviour and the various biogeochemical processes governing its distribution, sources, and sinks. Precise estimation of the residence time of beryllium(Be) is necessary for its application as a tracer for understanding present and paleo-environmental processes. We utilise cosmogenic Be and terrestrially derived Be measurements from surface sediments to estimate the residence time of Be in the Indian Ocean. Significant variation in Be residence time is observed, which ranges between 370 and 620 years in the central Indian Ocean, 64-205 years in the Bay of Bengal, 41-117 years in the Andaman Sea, and 179-443 years in the Arabian Sea. Large heterogeneity in the residence time of Be can be attributed to its variable scavenging efficiency in different regions. Active scavenging of Be by sediment particles contributed through various major rivers draining into the northern Indian Ocean results in short residence time of Be. The results of this study have significant implications for the selection of sample sites and the use of Be as a tracer in paleo reconstructions.

Intraluminal prosthetic graft thrombus (IPT) has been described in case of endovascular aortic pathology repair. This study aimed to assess hemodynamic indicators associated with various anatomical morphologies following endovascular aortic repair (EVAR), aiming to offer further references for the choice of clinical therapy. Six model models (normal, iliac compression, aortic compression, aortoiliac compression, iliac distortion, and long-leg stent) were established based on common anatomical morphologies following EVAR.

Resources and land carrying capacity are vital to the survival and development of human society and form the foundation for ensuring food security. However, evaluating land carrying capacity solely based on grain production is overly simplistic. A comprehensive assessment from the perspective of dietary nutrition is needed to more accurately reflect the actual carrying capacity of land.

Background: To compare the effectiveness of four surveillance strategies for detecting SARS-CoV-2 within the homeless shelter population in Hamilton, ON and assess participant adherence over time for each surveillance method.
Methods: This was an open-label, cluster-randomized controlled trial conducted in eleven homeless shelters in Hamilton, Ontario, from April 2020 to January 2021. All participants who consented to the study and participated in the surveillance were eligible for testing by self-swabbing.

Background: Fluoxetine, a serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressant, raises extracellular serotonin levels and promotes angiogenesis and neurogenesis. Numerous animal models have shown its beneficial effects on recovery from peripheral nerve injury.
Purpose: The primary objective of this study was to analyze the influence of fluoxetine on the sensory-motor function recovery of the sciatic nerve in Wistar rats after axonotmesis.

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.
