The relationship between cellular protein content and selenium accumulation in freshwater microalgae

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView.
Abstract Variability in the bioconcentration of selenium (Se) by primary producers at the base of the food web results in uncertainty in predictions of bioaccumulation and ecological risk to higher trophic level organisms. Water chemistry, speciation of Se, and periphyton community composition have all been suggested as factors that contribute to ...

Nationwide Study on the Cervical Cancer Screening Pathway in Estonia

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Cervical cancer remains a significant burden despite being preventable, largely due to inadequate screening participation and poor follow‐up of high‐risk women. Here, the authors investigated follow‐up rates among women who tested positive for high‐risk human papillomavirus (hr‐HPV) infection in primary screening in Estonia. Data show that more than 57

Revisiting the Nexus Between Trade Liberalisation and Income Inequality: The Case of Sub‐Saharan African Countries

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of trade liberalisation on income inequality across 24 Sub‐Saharan African (SSA) countries from 2000 to 2020. Using IV‐Tobit and 2SLS models, we consistently find that greater trade openness significantly exacerbates inequality in the region. Critically, we document an inverted U‐shaped relationship between trade

Total cervical occlusion: A solution after cervico‐isthmic cerclage failure

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Spontaneous preterm birth is mainly caused by cervical incompetence. Cervical cerclage is the gold standard for preventing mid‐trimester losses and preterm deliveries. If cervical cerclage fails, cervico‐isthmic cerclage may be indicated.

Food waste and pay‐as‐you‐throw systems

Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, EarlyView.
Abstract This study assesses the effectiveness of pay‐as‐you‐throw (PAYT) schemes in managing household food waste by comparing volume‐based and weight‐based approaches. Using a utility maximization framework and survey data from Korean households (2019–2022), we find that weight‐based PAYT more effectively reduces food waste by creating stronger ...

Protective Role of Polydatin Against Vancomycin‐Induced Lung Toxicity via Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress, Apoptosis, and Ferroptosis Pathways

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate whether polydatin (Poly) could eliminate the harmful effects of vancomycin (VCM) on the lungs of rats. Rats were administered VCM (200 mg/kg) and Poly (50 mg/kg), both separately and in combination, for a duration of 7 days.

Evaluating Brief Behavioural Activation for depression in adolescents with acquired brain injury using a single‐case experimental design

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Adolescents who have had an acquired brain injury (ABI) commonly experience depression. Brief Behavioural Activation (Brief BA) is a successful, values‐based intervention for managing depression in neurotypical adolescents. This study investigated the effectiveness of Brief BA, using a single‐case experimental design, with ...
