On the basis of one case, the authors review the symptoms and signs of alcoholic ketoacidosis. This occurs in general in a middle aged woman during the abundant ingestion of alcohol. It presents as drowsiness, headache and vomiting. Laboratory examinations reveal slight hyperglycaemia, hypokalaemia and a metabolic acidosis with the presence of ketones in the blood and urine. Blood alcohol level is nil. No other cause of ketoacidosis is found. The course is rapidly favourable. The biochemical mechanism is poorly understood.

Rivers are primary vectors of plastic debris to oceans, but sources, transport mechanisms, and fate of fluvial microplastics (<5 mm) remain poorly understood, impeding accurate predictions of microplastic flux, ecological risk and socio-economic impacts. We report on microplastic concentrations, characteristics and dynamics in the Mekong River, one of the world's largest and polluting rivers, in Cambodia and Vietnam. Sampling throughout the water column at multiple localities detected an average of 24 microplastics m (0.

Global public health recommendations for optimal infant nutrition include exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life. Breastfeeding has several benefits; however, breastfeeding initiation rates and duration remain below recommendations in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. Sandy Lake First Nation is particularly interested in understanding infant feeding experiences of community members to support increased breastfeeding initiation and duration.

Article Synopsis
- * Neutron crystallography (NC) has emerged as a valuable tool in the 21st century for revealing hydrogen atom positions and important water molecules in enzymes, enhancing our understanding of catalytic mechanisms.
- * This review discusses the advantages of using neutrons in studying enzymes, acknowledges the contributions of Dr. Chris G. Dealwis to the field, and presents examples of successful applications in neutron crystallography research.
Peatland Fungal Community Responses to Nutrient Enrichment: A Story Beyond Nitrogen.
Glob Chang Biol

Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke), Helsinki, Finland.
Anthropogenically elevated inputs of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) can affect the carbon (C) budget of nutrient-poor peatlands. Fungi are intimately tied to peatland C budgets due to their roles in organic matter decomposition and symbioses with primary producers; however, the influence of fertilization on peatland fungal composition and diversity remains unclear. Here, we examined the effect of fertilization over 10 years on fungal diversity, composition, and functional guilds along an acrotelm (10-20 cm), mesotelm (30-40 cm), and catotelm (60-70 cm) depth gradient at the Mer Bleue bog, Canada.

Fear of spiders is a widespread condition often disproportionate to the actual danger spiders pose to humans. Likely rooted in evolutionary history, fear of spiders might also have a cultural component. Recent studies have shown that a significant fraction of spider-related media reports are misleading and sensationalistic.
