The effect of universal health coverage on pollution induced mortality across 91 countries

Abstract This study investigates the mitigating role of universal healthcare coverage (UHC) in reducing mortality from air pollution, focusing on deaths caused by particulate matter pollution (PMP) and ambient ozone pollution (AOP) across 9...

Adaptation of the scale of effects of social media on eating behavior in Hungarian university students

Background. People live in a technological world, where social media is used very commonly. Social media has effects on eating behaviors, as in other aspects. For this reason, it is important to measure social media effect. Objective. This...

Shotgun metagenomic sequencing of serum extracellular vesicle-derived DNA enables microbial profiling in urothelial carcinoma

Abstract Shotgun metagenomic sequencing provides more detailed microbial information than 16 S rRNA sequencing but requires higher cost and larger sample volumes. We evaluated whether shotgun metagenomic sequencing could detect bacterial DN...

Non-state actor perceptions of legitimacy and meaningful participation in international climate governance

Abstract There is a lively debate about the legitimacy of the international climate regime, as represented by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and the quality of non-state actor participation in the regime. This co...

Decision-Making Within Forensic Psychiatric Investigations: The Use of Various Information Sources by Different Expert Groups to Reach Conclusions on Legal Insanity

BackgroundWhich type of information experts use to make decisions regarding legal insanity within forensic psychiatric investigations (FPI) is relatively unknown, both in general and when considering variations due to case context. It is im...

The influence of catch trials on the consolidation of motor memory in force field adaptation tasks

In computational neuroscience it is generally accepted that human motor memory contains neural representations of the physics of the musculoskeletal system and the objects in the environment. These representations are called internal models...

Niclosamide nanoparticles enhance pancreatic cancer sensitivity to gemcitabine via HIF-1α inhibition

Summary: Pancreatic cancer (PC) exhibits profound metabolic adaptations that support tumor progression, survival, and therapy resistance. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is a key regulator of these processes, promoting metabolic reprog...

Genetic Markers of Adaptation of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Plasmodium falciparum</named-content> to Transmission by American Vectors Identified in the Genomes of Parasites from Haiti and South America

ABSTRACT The malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, was introduced into Hispaniola and other regions of the Americas through the slave trade spanning the 16th through the 19th centuries. During this period, more than 12 million Africans w...

Maternal cardiovascular adaptation to twin pregnancy: a population-based prospective cohort study
