Purpose Of Review: This narrative review aims to synthesize global literature on the relationship between cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and components of built environment (green spaces, walkability, food environment, accessibility and availability of recreational and healthcare facilities, and effects of air and noise pollution).
Recent Findings: Increased green space and neighborhood walkability are associated with lower CVD mortality and morbidity; however, benefits have shown differential effects by socioeconomic status (SES). Air pollution is a leading environmental risk factor contributing to CVDs, and it disproportionately impacts low SES populations and women. Findings on relationships between food environment and CVDs are inconsistent and limited. This global review reports on the multifactorial and complex relationship between built environment and higher CVD risk and poor CVD outcomes. Future research can address an unmet need to understand this relationship with further depth and breadth, and to investigate resulting health disparities.

Population ecology and biogeography applications often necessitate the transfer of models across spatial and/or temporal dimensions to make predictions outside the bounds of the data used for model fitting. However, ecological data are often spatiotemporally unbalanced such that the spatial or the temporal dimension tends to contain more data than the other. This unbalance frequently leads model transfers to become substitutions, which are predictions to a different dimension than the predictive model was built on.

Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are present in trace amounts in the environment, from where they enter animal- and plant-derived food products. Long-term exposure to low-dose drugs poses a risk to human health and increases the pressure on antibiotic selection. Based on previous aptamer screening with high FQs specificity, this study combined a new aptamer recognition probe with a metal-organic framework (MOF) to obtain a sample pretreatment composite material with strong FQs specificity for multi-target analysis.

This study investigates the electrochemical oxidation mechanisms of chlorpromazine (CPZ), revealing a novel three-electron oxidation pathway that challenges the traditionally accepted two-electron paradigm, offering new insights into CPZ oxidation pathways. Using an integrated approach combining cyclic voltammetry, bulk electrolysis, UV-Vis, FT-IR, H-NMR spectroscopy, and LC-MS/MS analysis, we demonstrate that CPZ undergoes sequential oxidation processes involving both the phenothiazine core and the tertiary amine-containing side chain. Our results highlight the critical role of side-chain oxidation in forming nor-CPZ sulfoxide, an often-overlooked metabolite, which may influence CPZ's metabolic and pharmacological behaviour.

Background: The China Space Station (CSS) modules feature many areas that are difficult to clean and thus susceptible to microbial outbreaks. A new sampling method utilizing an equivalent material sheet was applied to characterize the diversity of microbes that accumulated in inaccessible areas in orbit on the CSS. Equivalent material sheet is a membrane made of the same material as the wall of the module.

Objectives: To identify associations between perceived neighborhood walkability and sleep across racial and ethnic groups of US adults.
Methods: Data from the 2020 National Health Interview Survey (N=27,521) were used to assess self-reported measures of walkability (pedestrian access, accessible amenities, unsafe walking conditions) and sleep (short and long duration; frequency of waking up unrested, trouble falling and staying asleep, sleep medication use). Stratified by racial and ethnic group, we calculated the age-adjusted prevalence of neighborhood walkability features and sleep measures and estimated prevalence ratios assessing associations between neighborhood walkability and sleep while adjusting for sociodemographic and health covariates.
