Policy and advocacy considerations for the prevention and care of preterm birth

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 173, Issue 3, Page 1174-1182, June 2026.
Abstract Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of mortality in children aged under 5 years and a major contributor to lifelong morbidity, disproportionately affecting low‐ and middle‐income countries. Despite its significant burden, PTB remains underprioritized on global and national health agendas, with limited integration into monitoring ...

Watershed land cover predicts the abundance of macroplastic and other anthropogenic litter in streams

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Macroplastic and other types of macroscopic anthropogenic litter (AL; trash, particles > 5 mm) are pervasive across ecosystems, persistent in the environment, increasing in abundance, and can degrade into microplastics (particles < 5 mm). Rivers retain and transform AL prior to export downstream, but improved predictions of AL distribution and movement
