Article Abstract

There are no standards for assessment of the cumulative effects of underwater sound. Quantitative assessments typically consider a single source, whereas qualitative assessments may include multiple sources but rarely identify response variables. As a step toward understanding the cumulative effects of underwater sound, we assessed the aggregated sounds of multiple sources received by migrating bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus). The quantitative method models the sound field from multiple sources and simulates movement of a population through it. The qualitative method uses experts to assess the responses of individuals and populations to sound sources and identify the potential mechanisms. These methods increase the transparency of assessments.

Aims: Cardiogenic shock remains a significant cause of mortality despite multiple advancements in medical interventions. Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) provides crucial circulatory support but also increases left ventricular (LV) after-load, potentially worsening outcomes. Effective LV unloading strategies can enhance patient survival during VA-ECMO treatment.

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), primarily acetate (C2), propionate (C3), and butyrate (C4), are crucial microbial metabolites formed by the fermentation of dietary fibers by gut microbiota in the colon. These SCFAs, characterized by fewer than six carbon atoms, serve as an essential energy source for colonic epithelial cells and contribute approximately 10% of the body's total energy requirement. They are central to maintaining gut health through multiple mechanisms, including reinforcing intestinal barrier function, exerting anti-inflammatory effects, regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, and influencing host immune responses.

Introduction Simulation-based training has been a vital part of medical education since Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) was introduced, and new guidelines since 2023 have expanded to include simulation as a mandatory methodology of teaching. This method enables learners to build and develop both technical and non-technical abilities in a safe and controlled setting, enhancing their preparedness for real-life medical scenarios. Simulation-based training improves skill acquisition and retention and enhances learners' confidence, reduces anxiety, reinforces learning, corrects errors, and promotes reflective practice, in contrast with the traditional method of teaching.

Background And Aim: Hospital effluents are a major source of environmental contaminants, harboring pathogenic bacteria, toxic trace metals, and high organic loads. This study aimed to evaluate the bacteriological and physicochemical profiles of wastewater discharged from three coastal hospitals in Oran, Algeria, and to assess the associated public and livestock health risks under the One Health approach.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2023 to February 2024, involving monthly sampling at three hospitals and one drainage collector.
