Increase in productivity enhances CH but limits NO production in a shallow tropical lake experiencing seasonal volume reduction and salinization.

Lakes are hotspots for carbon and nitrogen cycling and a major contributor to the natural fluxes of greenhouse gases [GHGs: methane (CH), carbon dioxide (CO), and nitrous oxide (NO)] to the atmosphere. Lake volume reduction and salinization are major threats to lakes across the globe, and their effect on lake biogeochemistry warrants detailed investigation. Given the majority of the studies addressing this crisis are from the higher latitudes, the response of tropical lakes, and shallow lakes in particular, to changing magnitude of environmental stressors is a major research gap.

Unraveling the Transcriptomic Adaptations of Streptococcus mutans Biofilm to the Post-Biotic Impact of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a multifactorial disease influenced by microbial dysbiosis and biofilm-induced chronic inflammation. Streptococcus mutans, a principal pathogen, aggravates OSCC by fostering an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment via biofilm development and virulence-related metabolic alterations. This work investigated the post-biotic effects of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum in reducing S.

Assessment of Level of Knowledge, Awareness toward "Basic Life Support" and "Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation" among Dental Students, Interns, and Dental Practitioners''.

Background: Dentists forms an essential part of being a health care provider. It is necessary that they are adequately aware, trained, and knowledgeable about all aspects of managing an emergency condition, especially the practical aspects of basic life support (BLS) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Aims: The purpose of this study was to analyze dental interns and third- and final-year students in Patna, India, regarding their knowledge and attitudes about basic life support (BLS).

Unveiling the Potential Photothermal Activity of Vanadium Carbide for Driving Chemical Reactions.

Photothermally activated chemical reactions play a pivotal role in a wide range of applications, highlighting the need for efficient photothermal agents. The photothermal effect, which utilizes dominant nonradiative deexcitation mechanisms, has been extensively demonstrated in nanoscale systems, including plasmonic metals, inorganic semiconductors, organic materials, and polymers. However, the development of these photothermal materials often requires intricate fabrication and separation techniques, presenting significant challenges for practical implementation.

Emerging Artificial Intelligence Innovations in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Challenges to Clinical Adoption.

Purpose Of Review: This review was written to inform practicing clinical rheumatologists about recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) based research in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), using accessible and practical language. We highlight developments from 2023 to early 2025 across diagnostic imaging, treatment prediction, drug discovery, and patient-facing tools. Given the increasing clinical interest in AI and its potential to augment care delivery, this article aims to bridge the gap between technical innovation and real-world rheumatology practice.
