The authors assess incidence and mortality rates of two cancer types in relation to trihalomethane pollutant concentrations in drinking water.

The authors looked at the ability to detect heart disease before the onset of severe clinical symptoms.

The authors looked at unionization petitions from Starbucks workers between August 2021 and July 2024 to determine what factors influence votes for or against unionization.

The authors looked at the ability of different machine learning algorithms to predict the level of financial corruption in different countries.

The escalating crisis of climate change, driven by the accumulation of greenhouse gases from human activities, demands urgent and innovative solutions to curb rising global temperatures. Plasma-based methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) reforming offers a promising pathway for carbon capture and the sustainable production of hydrogen fuel and syngas components. To advance this technology, particularly in terms of energy efficiency and selectivity, it is essential to enhance the conversion efficiencies of CO₂ and CH₄.

This study investigated how well food labels from 280 different brands across multiple food and drink categories in India and the US adhered to recommended nutritional labeling standards as outlined by the Codex Alimentarius.

Current osteosarcoma (OS) treatments rely on surgery and chemotherapy, but drug resistance remains a major challenge that lowers patient survival rates. Ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death, has shown promise in cancer therapy but is not well understood in OS. This study explores the use of Ferroptosis in OS.

Here the authors hypothesized that reducing folliculin (FLCN) might affect p62 protein levels in the dorsal hippocampus of mice, given their potential functional connection and p62's role in neurodegenerative diseases. Their study, using western blots and a two-way ANOVA on young wild-type mice, found that p62 levels correlated with FLCN expression, but ultimately concluded there's no evidence of a functional connection between FLCN and p62 in this specific model.

Andrographolide, a natural compound with anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, and anti-cancer properties, can be chemically modified by adding an acetonide group to form andrographolide acetonide, which is more potent and acts as a pH-dependent prodrug. Researchers investigated the hydrolysis of this acetonide group under mildly acidic conditions.

The authors developed and tested machine learning methods to diagnose tuberculosis from pulmonary X-ray scans.
