Summary: Analysis of brain images before and after SARS-CoV-2 infection indicates that even mild COVID-19 can lead to changes in brain structure and cognitive impairment. However, the clinical implications for individuals are unclear and more studies are needed to determine the generalizability of these findings and the longevity of the effects.

Summary: This study on cross-reactivity in patients with ICM hypersensitivity reactions found that incidences of polyvalent reactivity were similar to incidences of cross-reactivity, but there was only 30% concordance in reaction pairings. The data suggest individual reaction patterns rather than cross-reactivity constellations.

Summary: Region-specific phylogenies tend to yield older genus ages compared to those from global phylogenies, but there is a high correlation between the two, especially in taxon-rich regions. Comparing divergence time estimates from taxon-rich regional phylogenies within regions is reasonable, but comparisons among regional biotas may be misleading due to differences in divergence times regardless of taxon richness.

Summary: Reducing carbon emissions is crucial to achieving a carbon-neutral world, but production must meet the needs of a growing population. Increasing carbon efficiency is one way to support sustainable development goals. This study examines the effects of the shadow economy, globalization, trade openness, and urbanization on carbon efficiency in China.

Summary: Pathogenic Leptospira, the causative agent of leptospirosis, can coexist with other pathogens, leading to multi-pathogen infection in humans. Understanding the dynamics of transmission by these pathogens is crucial, as coinfection of Leptospira with pathogenic bacteria is rarely reported and may complicate diagnosis and treatment. Metagenomic analysis could help identify the presence of leptospirosis with other bacteria, emphasizing the importance of being aware of and adequately training medical practitioners for appropriate treatment.

Summary: Assessment of trauma exposure and psychological symptoms in refugee youth and their caregivers evoked mixed reactions, with most participants liking and benefiting from the interview while some reported negative experiences. It is crucial for researchers and practitioners to consider the potential negative impact of trauma-related assessments and to monitor participants for distress.

Summary: The emergence of antimicrobial resistance poses a global threat to public health, and the circulation of ARGs in the environment plays a crucial role in the development of resistance. This study found various antibiotic resistance genes in the fecal microbiome of red deer, with tetrcycline resistance genes being the most abundant. Additionally, other genes posing current and future threats to human health were identified. Although multidrug-resistant bacteria were isolated, the overall level of antibiotic resistance was low.

Summary: Reliable and effective loan default risk prediction is crucial for the stability of the financial system. This study proposes a profit-driven prediction model that optimizes hyperparameters and calculates SHAP values for improved accuracy and interpretability. Experimental results show that the model achieves high profit-related evaluation metrics values on different datasets.

Summary: The rapid increase in the use of non-nutritive sweeteners (NNSs) instead of sugar in foods and beverages is a global concern. Limited studies have been conducted on the consumption of NNSs by pregnant or lactating women and infants, but evidence suggests potential negative impacts on birth outcomes and infant weight gain. Further research is needed, especially in Latin America and Asia, to evaluate the effects of chronic exposure to NNSs in at-risk groups and update recommendations.

Summary: The review highlighted the challenges in radiobiological studies in diagnostic dentomaxillofacial radiology, with a focus on genotoxicity and cytotoxicity. Limited evidence is available for CBCT, particularly in terms of comparative data between adults and children. Future research should aim for personalized radioprotection strategies based on individual factors such as age, gender, and radiation sensitivity.

Summary: This study assessed the nicotine positivity rate in 60,802 anti-doping urine samples from 2012 to 2020. The results showed that the overall mean positivity rate for nicotine was 22.7%, with higher rates in male samples compared to female samples (24.1% vs 18.5%). Team sports had a higher positivity rate than individual sports (31.4% vs 14.1%). The study calls for WADA and other organizations to address this phenomenon and protect the health and welfare of athletes.

Summary: Real-world data on secukinumab's gastrointestinal-related adverse events (GIRAE) in psoriatic patients are limited. A retrospective study was conducted to review medical records of patients treated with secukinumab for plaque psoriasis at Ospedali Riuniti Umberto I clinic in Ancona. The study found that secukinumab was an effective and safe drug for plaque psoriasis treatment, with minimal gastrointestinal adverse events.

Summary: The study uses an ethical framework to consider the reporting of unsolicited findings (UF) in genomic sequencing and whether parents should have the right to decide if their children receive UF information. Respect for parental decisions is emphasized, but the potential harm or benefit of knowing about adult-onset conditions in children needs to be considered.

Summary: The Nipah virus outbreaks in Bangladesh are linked to climatic conditions, the size and distribution of bat roosts, and land-use changes over the past 300 years. 53% of winter spillover events are associated with winter temperature, impacting bat behavior, physiology, and human risk behaviors. Changes in forest cover suggest a historical shift in bat roosting behavior, leading to conditions favoring viral spillover.

Summary: In recent decades, pathogens originating from bats have become a growing concern for public health, as they pose a pandemic threat. Many studies have linked the transmission of these pathogens to changes in land use or other human-induced stressors, although the exact mechanisms are still unknown. The lack of comprehensive data on multiple spillovers and their connections with reservoir host ecology, behavior, and viral dynamics has been a major limitation.

Summary: There is growing evidence of SARS-CoV-2 spillover from humans to various animal species, including deer. This study investigated the active and asymptomatic infection of the Omicron variant in free-ranging deer in New York City. The findings revealed that a small number of deer had been exposed to SARS-CoV-2, with two deer showing evidence of reinfection or early seroconversion. This suggests that variants of concern are still circulating and may reestablish transmission cycles in US deer populations, highlighting the need for a coordinated One Health response.

Summary: A central debate in ecology has been the long-running discussion on the role of apex predators in affecting the abundance and dynamics of their prey. This study presents a bioenergetic mechanistic model of a tritrophic system and investigates the impact of wolf reintroduction on the system. The model reveals the important role of wolves in shifting the elk population from being food-limited to being predator-limited and stabilizing elk numbers.
