Leveraging Pharmacy Education through a Train-the-Trainer Model to Enhance Breast Cancer Literacy in Rural CommunitiesNARA Subscribed
Rural versus urban communities experience disproportionate challenges in breast cancer outcomes, with higher breast cancer mortality and later stage disease presentation, despite similar diagnosis rates. These disparities are driven by structural barriers, including rural hospital closures, transportation difficulties, and limited access to oncology specialists. This study evaluated a train-the-trainer program designed to equi...
Anthropogenic debris accumulation in the Argentine deep sea: evidence of an irreversible sinkOA Marine
The seafloor is recognized as a major sink for marine debris, while deep-sea litter remains poorly investigated due to the logistical and economic constraints associated with seabed exploration. This study reports for the first time the occurrence of marine debris found on the Argentine deep seafloor using the SOI’s Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), providing the first documented evidence for this region. A total of 29 litter i...
Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegenerationNARA Subscribed
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can fi...
HABS-BLOCKS© Reduced Harmful Algal Bloom Activity in an in-Lake Limno-Corral Mesocosm Case Study at Grand Lake St. Marys, Ohio (USA)NARA Subscribed
HABS-BLOCKS© infused with glucose have been shown to reduce cyanobacterial populations and microcystin (MC) concentrations in laboratory mesocosm studies. An in situ limno-corral (LC) mesocosm study of HABS-BLOCKS© was conducted for two weeks during the 2025 algal bloom in Grand Lake St. Marys (GLSM) (Ohio, USA). Thirty HABS-BLOCKS© or Dummy HABS-BLOCKS© (contain no glucose) were added to three treated or three control LCs, re...
Childhood maltreatment is pervasive – with an estimated 1 in 4 children experiencing abuse or neglect at some point in their lifetime. Exposure to childhood maltreatment has been associated with detrimental neurodevelopmental changes to brain structure and function in stress-sensitive regions and regions with extended developmental periods. Such regions include the frontoparietal regions (e.g., middle frontal gyrus and dorsola...
Connectivity is a multifaceted concept that has important implications for the management and conservation of marine and freshwater fishes. We developed a conceptual framework that encompasses multiple, interrelated categories of connectedness, including landscape (e.g., structural, functional) connectivity and ecological (e.g., trophic, genetic, demographic) connectivity, that together shape the flow of organisms, energy and...
Exposure to freshwater is a pressing health issue for coastal bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops spp.). Environmental changes, including increased precipitation events and coastal infrastructure projects, are altering salinity within estuarine systems. Consequently, understanding effects of freshwater exposure on dolphins and developing tools to evaluate related health conditions is urgent. To address this need, a group of veterin...
Incidental captures of sea turtles during fishing activities affect their populations worldwide. Previous research has documented the impacts of commercial fisheries in nearshore and offshore waters, and research-based minimization measures are now required to reduce sea turtle take. However, incidental captures of juvenile-to-adult sea turtles also occur in recreational fisheries in nearshore and inshore waters, although the...
Wetlands are becoming increasingly used as tools to help watersheds mitigate nutrient runoff as part of efforts to reduce the frequency of harmful algal blooms. Wetland restoration is needed given that the majority of these habitats have been lost to development/draining efforts on a global scale over the past few centuries. The objective of this study was to monitor nutrient reductions achieved with the restored (constructed...
Effects of climate change on ocean ecosystem dynamics are widespread. Oceanographic conditions vital to biological communities have already shown changes, resulting in negative impacts on several of the world’s largest fisheries. The Northern California Current (NCC) is a highly productive system that supports many important fisheries. In addition to large-scale oceanographic forcing and seasonal up- and downwelling cycles, in...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
