Borrelia and Genital Lichen Sclerosus: A Critical Review of the Evidence

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Lichen sclerosus (LSc) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis that primarily affects the genitalia. Growing evidence supports chronic occlusive urine exposure as the principal pathogenic driver, though other mechanisms, including mechanical irritation, hormonal influences, autoimmunity, and infection, have been proposed.

Glycemic Control, Animal Protein Intake, and the Risk of Diabetic Retinopathy Progression Among Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective glycemic control and food consumption play crucial roles in modulating diabetic retinopathy (DR) progression. This observational longitudinal study explored the hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and dietary patterns and their associations with the risk and progression of DR among 369 individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease and Obesity: Pathogenesis, Diagnostics, Risk Stratification, and Therapeutic Approach

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has emerged as the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide, closely linked to the global rising incidence of obesity and metabolic syndrome. This review synthesizes current evidence on the pathogenesis, gut–liver axis, and multidisciplinary management of MASLD within the ...

Topographic and Climatic Determinants of Soil Organic Carbon Across Landscapes: A Meta‐Analysis

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The soil is the greatest natural store of organic carbon, holding between 1500 to 1550 Pg C of organic carbon at the top 100 cm of the soil globally—roughly twice the carbon pool in the atmosphere. The spatial distribution of this stock is controlled by a complex chain of controls: topographic position regulates the hydrological redistribution,

From the sea to DNA barcode: Optimized preservation method for gelatinous zooplankton integrative taxonomy

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Assigning taxonomic identity and thus assessing taxonomic diversity in gelatinous zooplankton is challenging due to their fragility and difficult preservation. Formalin fixation compromises DNA integrity, while flash‐freezing, ethanol, and acetone preservation affect morphological features. In this study, we developed a methodological protocol

Bed‐level tools for monitoring erosion and accretion patterns: Flume validation and field testing

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Monitoring short‐term changes in surface sediment elevation is fundamental to understanding erosion, transport, and deposition dynamics in shallow coastal environments. However, commonly used field approaches, such as horizontal markers, sediment erosion tables, subsurface sediment plates, or erosion pins, are not always cross‐validated under ...

Ecosystem retrogression enhances cross‐domain microbial stability and increases the genetic potential for nutrient cycling

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecosystem retrogression drives nutrient depletion, reduced productivity, and profound reorganization of soil microbial communities. Using amplicon sequencing and genome‐resolved metagenomics, we examined how cross‐domain microbial networks and functional gene potential respond to long‐term phosphorus and nitrogen limitation along the well ...

Drivers of stability in plankton communities: dominance, asynchrony, and averaging effects across temporal, spatial and trophic scales

Oikos, EarlyView.
The origins of ecosystem stability have long intrigued ecologists. Recent theoretical advancements highlight three primary mechanisms driving stability: dominance, asynchrony and averaging. While plant community stability has been extensively studied, our understanding of marine community stability remains limited. Plankton, as key components of marine
