Ureaplasma diversum is an opportunistic bovine pathogen associated with reproductive disorders, including infertility, granular vulvovaginitis, placentitis, and abortion; however, detailed descriptions of fetal osteoarticular lesions remain exceptionally uncommon. This report describes the gross, histopathological, and molecular findings of a bovine abortion associated with U. diversum infection presenting with concurrent pulm...

Residual herbicides are widely used in weed management; however, their persistence in the environment can lead to agronomic and ecological impacts. This study assessed bacterial isolates obtained from sugarcane soil with a history of diuron exposure for their ability to increase diuron dissipation under controlled conditions. Forty-two bacterial isolates were obtained, of which 18 tolerated the commercial formulation at 1,000...

Optimizing maize–Brachiaria intercropping requires effective weed management with selective maize herbicides. This study evaluated the spray performance and efficacy of atrazine + nicosulfuron for weed management in maize–Brachiaria intercropping, focusing on how droplet classes and spray volumes affect maize growth and yield. The deposition experiment was conducted in a greenhouse in a completely randomized design with six re...

Wildfires have altered Mediterranean fire regimes, reshaping vegetation dynamics and challenging ecosystem resilience. This study presents a reproducible Python-based framework for classifying forest vegetation and post-fire shrub states in Mediterranean ecosystems. The workflow also enables the assessment of label-dataset composition, predictor-variable sets, and classifier choice. The proposed workflow is demonstrated throug...

Tumor progression depends on an adequate blood supply to sustain oxygen and nutrients delivery. While tumor angiogenesis involves the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones, vessel co-option represents a non-angiogenic vascularization strategy whereby tumor cells utilize pre-existing host vessels. Co-opted vessels have been considered refractory to anti-angiogenic therapies, and pharmacological modulation of co-...

Climatotherapy (including thalassotherapy, sun exposure, and marine mud therapy) has long been used as a complementary intervention for musculoskeletal and rheumatologic disorders (MSRDs), yet its evidence base remains fragmented and methodologically heterogeneous. To synthesize the effectiveness and safety of climatotherapy in marine or Dead Sea environments for MSRDs, focusing on pain, physical function, and health-related q...

Arctic freshwater biodiversity is rapidly changing due to climate warming, resource extraction, infrastructure development, and landscape transformation. To improve understanding, predict future responses, and inform policy formulation, research needs must be clearly identified. Using a horizon scan survey, Arctic freshwater experts from government, international agencies, and Indigenous Peoples identified 77 biodiversity rese...
