Summary: This is a case report of a newborn with rapid liver failure, cholestatic jaundice, and low gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase. Genetic tests revealed a homozygous mutation of the HFE gene. Although more research is needed, this experience suggests that hereditary hemochromatosis could have played a role in inducing cholestasis.

Summary: Under predicted climate change scenarios, non-native willows may have negative impacts on aquatic species, but they could also provide thermal refugia for specific endemic species. A holistic approach to non-native willow removal is proposed for potential benefits to aquatic species in a changing climate.

Summary: Obesity has a significant impact on cancer development, progression, and treatment. It can reduce the efficacy of some treatments but also protect against treatment toxicities, leading to the obesity paradox. The obese tumor microenvironment influences treatment response through various factors, but the specific mechanisms and biological effects are still largely unknown.

Summary: The use of Artificial Intelligence in clinical practice shows promise for the future, as it can serve as a new assistant for physicians. However, AI cannot replace the diagnostic intelligence, empathy, and relationships that a physician provides. It is important for physicians to find a balance in using AI to improve health outcomes without increasing patient frustration.

Summary: Hereditary hyperferritinemia-cataract syndrome (HHCS) is a rare genetic condition characterized by persistent hyperferritinemia without tissue iron overload, and it is often unknown to clinicians. This report presents a case of a 40-year-old woman who was misdiagnosed with hereditary hemochromatosis but was later recognized to have HHCS. The objective of this report is to increase clinical awareness about HHCS and prevent adverse medical interventions in HHCS patients.

Summary: Research has shown that individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 develop S-RBD-specific, class-switched rMBCs, regardless of disease severity. This provides evidence for sustained B cell-mediated immunity against the virus.

Summary: This study examines the impact of organizational AI adoption on employees' promotion- and prevention-focused job crafting based on the transactional theory of stress and coping. Data from a three-wave time-lagged survey of 332 employees of eight companies in Chengdu, China was analyzed. The findings suggest that the effects of organizational AI adoption on job crafting depend on employees' locus of control.

Summary: All humans experience acute psychological stress periodically, which can lead to physiological changes and activate various axes in the body. This review article examines the human response to acute stress and discusses how psychological stress can introduce variability in certain laboratory measurements. It highlights the role of biochemical markers, such as cortisol and growth hormone, in quantifying stress and its impact on human behavior.

Summary: This study integrates research on global work demands with transactional stress theory to examine the effects of international travel, cognitive flexibility, and nonwork disruption demands for employees engaged in global work. The study found that cognitive flexibility demands have both harmful and beneficial effects, increasing work-to-family conflict through hindrance appraisals but also increasing thriving through challenge appraisals. International travel demands have only beneficial outcomes, positively related to employee thriving through challenge appraisals. Nonwork disruption demands, however, had only harmful effects, positively related to burnout and work-to-family conflict through hindrance appraisals. The findings contribute to understanding how employees react to global work demands and the transactional theory of stress.

Summary: The article "Diversity and Importance of Kelp Species in Puget Sound Waters" discusses the widespread distribution of kelp species in Puget Sound, providing numerous ecosystem services; however, there has been documented loss of bull kelp forests, posing a threat to marine ecosystems and jeopardizing economic activities. Despite the recognition of the need for action in the recently released Kelp Conservation and Recovery Plan, local environmental regulations may complicate restoration efforts and fail to adequately protect kelp. Through content analysis of 45 local Shoreline Master Programs, the assessment reveals generally low levels of kelp protection and support for restoration.

Summary: Here, we present a concise and universal strategy for achieving photoactivated ultralong phosphorescence at room temperature through stereo-hindrance engineering. The dynamic photoactivated phosphorescence behavior is attributed to the suppression of non-radiative transitions and improvement of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) through the variation of molecular conformation. This study not only outlines a principle for designing dynamic phosphorescent materials, but also extends their utility in intelligent sensors and robotics.

Summary: Hereditary hemochromatosis is a genetic disorder that leads to body iron overload, causing dysfunction in various organs. Mutations such as C282Y and H63D are commonly associated with iron overload. We present a case of an 84-year-old male patient who achieved significant improvement through therapeutic phlebotomy.

Summary: Successful reproduction in eusocial invertebrates and obligate cooperative breeders depends on assistance from non-breeding group members. However, in wild Damaraland mole-rats, breeding individuals can reproduce without the help of non-breeders. The effects of group size on reproduction, growth, and survival are limited in this species.

Summary: This paper discusses the time-varying causalities between global geopolitical risk (GPR) and green bonds (GBs) from the energy market perspective. The empirical results show that GPR negatively affects GBs, while GBs have both positive and negative effects on GPR.
