Article Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the element content of wild edible and inedible mushroom species (Agaricus campestris, Armillaria ostoyae, Boletus reticulatus, Bondarzewia mesenterica, Bovistella utriformis, Cantharellus cibarius, Marasmius oreades, Megacollybia platyphylla, Meripilus giganteus, Neoboletus erythropus, Panellus stipticus, Phaeotremella foliacea, Pleurotus ostreatus, Podoscypha multizonata, Russula aurea, R. chloroides, R. virescens, T. versicolor, Trametes gibbose, and Trichaptum biforme) collected from the Belgrad Forests and the Ilgaz Mountain National Park. Based on the results of elemental analyses, daily metal intake (DMI) and health risk index (HRI) values of edible mushrooms collected from both localities were also calculated. As, Cd, Cr, Se, P, Hg, Cu, Mn, Fe, Zn, Al, Ca, Mg, and K contents of mushrooms were in the ranges of 0.16-3.45, 0.09-2.4, 0.15-2.34, 0.3-8.13, 0.28-11.44, 14.03-37.81, 3.87-108.57, 6.18-149.77, 11.9-776.1, 5.4-317.4, 7.4-355.2, 15.4-3517.3, 266.0-2500.0, and 628.0-24083.0 mg/kg dry weight, respectively. As a result of the DMI and HRI analyses, Cu concentration of B. utriformis (DMI: 46.53 μg/kg body weight/serving, HRI: 1.16) and Cd concentrations of A. campestris (DMI: 0.49 μg/kg body weight/serving, HRI: 1.36), A. ostoyae (DMI: 1.03 μg/kg body weight/serving, HRI: 2.86), B. utriformis (DMI: 0.52 μg/kg body weight/serving, HRI: 1.44), and P. ostreatus (DMI: 0.45 μg/kg body weight/serving, HRI: 1.24) were found to exceed the legal limits determined by authorities. It was concluded that the species collected from the regions in question should be consumed in a controlled manner.

Effect of targeting normoxemia on supplemental oxygen-free days for adults with acute thermal burns: A stepped wedge cluster randomized clinical trial.
J Trauma Acute Care Surg

Background: Supplemental oxygen is essential in caring for adults with acute thermal burns but can expose patients to excess inspired oxygen. We sought to determine the safety and effectiveness of targeting normoxemia (peripheral oxygen saturation [SpO2] 90-96%) in adults with acute thermal burns admitted to a specialized burn unit. We hypothesized that targeting normoxemia would increase the number of supplemental oxygen-free days (SOFDs) and safely reduce exposure to hyperoxemia.

Article Synopsis
- Effective control of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes is vital to reduce diseases like dengue and zika, focusing on blocking their transition from larvae to adults.
- Research shows that histone deacetylases (HDACs) play a role in regulating juvenile hormone (JH) signaling and metamorphosis, particularly in other insects, but their function in Aedes aegypti is not well understood.
- Knocking down specific HDAC genes increased the expression of a key gene (Kr-h1) involved in larval development, with each HDAC affecting different biological processes in mosquito growth, leading to varied developmental issues.
Between cultures and traditions: a qualitative investigation of sexual and reproductive health experiences of immigrant adolescents in Canada.
Cult Health Sex

Department of Health Systems and Population Health, School of Public Health, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA.
Immigrant adolescents in Canada face challenges accessing accurate sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information and services. Many challenges stem from taboos associated with SRH, cultural and religious restrictions, and social beliefs regarding the unnecessity of SRH education for adolescents. We explored the SRH experiences of immigrant adolescents in the context of their cultural and religious perspectives.

Initial Outcomes of Single versus Multiple-Plug Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation for Osteochondral Defects of the Knee: A Matched Cohort Analysis.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, New York.
Although several prior studies have described the outcomes of osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation for single osteochondral lesions, there is a paucity of comparative data on outcomes of single versus multiple OCA transplants. We aimed to describe the initial outcomes of single-plug versus multiple-plug knee OCA transplants at a minimum of 1 year of follow-up. We hypothesized that there would be no difference in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) between patients undergoing single-plug and multiple-plug OCA transplants at a minimum of 1 year of follow-up.
