Abstract Objective Status epilepticus (SE) treatment is more effective when benzodiazepines (BZDs) are given soon after SE diagnosis. The Quality Improvement in Time to Treat Status Epilepticus (QuITT‐SE) trial is a multicenter, randomized, stepped‐wedge effectiveness‐implementation hybrid study aimed at improving time to SE treatment.

The Brazilian Northeast shelters fragments of the Atlantic Forest that, although historically under‐sampled, are home to a high diversity of organisms. In this context, conidial fungi are crucial for ecological balance, standing out for their role in the decomposition of organic matter and nutrient cycling.

Abstract Urban environments create unique challenges for wildlife, where dietary habits may reflect both ecological heterogeneity and societal disparities. In this study, we explored how social factors such as household income and human population density, and ecological factors such as tree canopy correlate with coyote (Canis latrans) diets in Seattle,

Abstract Noise pollution is an environmental stressor negatively affecting humans and biodiversity. Noise pollution is often measured and regulated according to loudness, but in this study, we assessed noise pollution based on human perceptions of soundscapes.

Precise assessment of facial skin based on multimodal data fusion of the microbiome
Abstract The skin microecology plays a vital role in maintaining cutaneous health and is intricately linked to host skin phenotypes. However, there remains a lack of precise and quantitative biomarkers for evaluating skin health conditions, making it challenging to identify individuals at potential risk of microecological imbalance.

Analysis of symbolic sequences using the Jensen-Shannon divergence
We study statistical properties of the Jensen-Shannon divergence D, which quantifies the difference between probability distributions, and which has been widely applied to analyses of symbolic sequences.

The Concept of the Mixing Index
Abstract Many current measures of mixing, such as the statistics of concentration, the scalar dissipation rate, or dilution index, are based on the dilution of a single component or pseudo‐component. Because of this, they miss the influence of numerous conditions that directly change true mixing, such as initial separation of chemically distinct water ...

Apiaries had modest impacts on heathland plant–pollinator communities, likely buffered by the abundance of Calluna vulgaris which provides 91% of landscape nectar during hive introductions. We recommend avoiding hive introductions outside of peak flowering periods and managing grazing in the spring to ensure nectar resources for emerging pollinators ...

ABSTRACT Ectoparasites that penetrate host skin can act as biological or mechanical vectors for pathogens and, in some cases, serve as reservoirs. Crustacean ectoparasites of fish are potential vectors of pathogens, which is especially relevant for obligate pathogens (e.g., Aeromonas salmonicida) with limited seawater survival. Sea lice (Lepeophtheirus

ABSTRACT Novel pathogens have become a major challenge faced by wildlife in the Anthropocene. White‐nose syndrome (WNS) has decimated bat populations across North America over the last two decades. Demographic and physiological evidence of adaptation in one heavily affected species, Myotis lucifugus, has prompted multiple attempts to delineate the ...
