Article Abstract
Bottom trawling in submarine canyons can affect their natural sedimentation rates, but studies addressing this issue are still scarce. In the Gulf of Palermo (SW Mediterranean), bottom trawling occurs on the slope around Oreto, Arenella and Eleuterio canyons. Analyses of excess Pb concentrations and grain size fractions in sediment cores from their canyon axes revealed that sedimentation rates and silt contents increased in all canyons in the 1980s, due to the expansion of more powerful trawlers (>500 HP) to deeper fishing grounds. In Eleuterio and Arenella canyons, sedimentation rates increased by an order of magnitude (0.1-1.4 cm·yr), whereas they increased less (0.1-0.7 cm·yr) in Oreto Canyon, since the enhanced trawling-derived sediment fluxes into this canyon are affected by sediment resuspension from trawling along its axis. Considering the global expansion of bottom trawling, we anticipate similar alterations in other trawled canyons, with ecological consequences that should be addressed by management strategies.

The dual burden of tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus: an epidemiological correlation.

This study examined the association between diabetes mellitus and tuberculosis (TB) in a cohort of 200TB-positive patients, stratified by gender, age, treatment regimen, and comorbidities, including diabetes, acute gastroenteritis, and hypertension, compared to TB patients without additional complications. Clinical parameters-Random Blood Sugar (RBS), C-reactive protein (CRP), and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)-were assessed at baseline and after four months of anti-TB therapy. The results showed no significant changes in mean RBS or CRP levels post-treatment, but a notable reduction in mean ESR was observed.

BACKGROUND Septic and aseptic loosening are the most common indications for revision hip arthroplasty (RHA), and infection-related revisions pose significant diagnostic and management challenges. This study aims to compare septic and aseptic RHA cases in terms of inflammatory markers, prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM), surgical time, blood transfusion requirements, soft tissue thickness, and mortality rates. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study included 49 patients who underwent RHA between 2015 and 2020.

Decentralized anaerobic treatment presents a sustainable alternative for managing the substantial generation of food waste. However, the associated high costs may render this option less feasible for small- to medium-scale systems. To explore a novel strategy for cost reduction in anaerobic digestion systems used for food waste treatment, this study applied organic loading rates (OLR) ranged from 0.

Many essential cellular processes require RNA to interact with protein(s) to form ribonucleic protein complexes (RNPs). For example, all cellular proteins are produced by the ribosome - a large and stable RNP, gene splicing requires a choreography of numerous small and large RNPs, even the replication of telomeric DNA requires an RNP. All these examples are stable RNPs that exhibit specific sedimentation rates (e.

Seagrass beds constitute a unique blue carbon ecosystem that mitigates climate change by capturing and sequestering CO over extended periods. Despite being recognized as potent carbon sinks, there is still limited information on the quantification, regional variability, and drivers influencing their blue carbon stocks. In this study, we established 108 sampling sites to estimate organic carbon (C), sediment accumulation rates (SARs), and carbon accumulation rates (CARs) across 13 seagrass beds located in the Yellow and Bohai Seas of China.
