Purpose The Ebro Basin is one of the most industrialised regions of the Iberian Peninsula, yet its long-term legacy of metal contamination remains poorly constrained due to the scarcity of continuous sedimentary archives in semi-arid environments. This study reconstructs the history of mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb) pollution in the Ebro Basin using Lake Chiprana, the only permanent hypersaline lake providing a continuous, high-re...

Cognitive decline is a major non-motor symptom in Parkinson’s disease (PD), often linked to brain atrophy. This study examines the relationship between cortical atrophy and age groups in predicting cognitive decline in PD over five years. 188 PD patients from the COPPADIS cohort were stratified by age: young (30–55 years, N = 47), middle-aged (56–65 years, N = 59), and older adults (66–75 years, N = 82). Baseline cortical volu...

The extensive growth of intensive fish farming has led to a massive spread of infectious diseases. Nervous necrosis virus (NNV) is the causative agent of the viral encephalo‐ and retinopathy disease which has become a major threat for fish farming all over the globe. The devastating mortality rates recorded in disease outbreaks, especially when infected specimens are at early stages of development, have a high economic impact...
