The toxicity of pesticides on human reproduction is largely unknown--particularly how mixtures pesticide products might affect fetal toxicity. Ontario Farm Family Health Study collected data by questionnaire the identity and timing use farm, lifestyle factors, a complete reproductive history from farm operator eligible couples living farm. A total 2,110 women provided information 3,936 pregnancies, including 395 spontaneous abortions. To explore critical windows exposure target sites for...

Abstract The Mekong River Basin (MRB) is undergoing unprecedented changes due to the recent acceleration in large-scale dam construction. While hydrology of MRB well understood and effects some existing dams have been studied, potential planned on flood pulse dynamics over entire Lower remains unexamined. Here, using hydrodynamic model simulations, we show that flow regulation downstream river-floodplain are relatively predictable along mainstream Mekong, but regulations could potentially...

Hydropower dams produce huge impacts on renewable energy production, water resources, and economic development, particularly in the Global South, where accelerated dam construction has made it a global hotspot. We do not fully understand multiple that have nearby areas from perspective, including spatial differentiations. In this study, we examined of hydropower areas. first found more than one-third gross domestic production (GDP) almost population fall within 50 km world's 7,155 (<10% land...

Place attachment, as an important emotional and functional bond between people place, has received extensive attention in the early-21st century. This trend is especially evident China, where rapid market transitions have fundamentally changed urban neighborhoods. Using a survey of residents Guangzhou, remote sensing imagery, geographic information system (GIS) techniques, hierarchical linear modeling (HLM), this study investigates role physical social environments place attachment. Results...

Abstract Climate change, food security, and environmental sustainability are pressing issues faced by today’s global population. As production demands increase climate threatens crop productivity, agricultural research develops innovative technologies to meet these challenges. Strategies include biodiverse cropping arrangements, new introductions, genetic modification of varieties that resilient climatic stressors. Geography in particular is equipped address a critical question this...

Introduction The mental health of university students is influenced by a variety factors, including self-esteem and personality traits, with resilience playing crucial role in mediating moderating these relationships. This study investigates the intricate dynamics affecting well-being Chinese students, focusing on roles self-esteem, interventional effects resilience. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted 689 aged average 20.3 years, between April July 2022. Warwick-Edinburgh Mental...

Approximately one in five adolescents experience mental health problems globally. However, studies on Chinese high school students are few. Therefore, this study examined the status and associated factors of China. A stratified two-stage cluster sampling procedure was adopted, leading to a final sample 15,055 participants from 46 schools all 17 provincial cities Henan province, Self-reported questionnaires were used collect data. variable assessed using Mental Health Inventory Middle School...

Abstract Background Breast cancer‐related lymphedema (BCRL) is one of the common postoperative complications that severely affects functions arm and quality life. Since difficult to treat prone recurrence, early prevention crucial. Methods Patient diagnosed with breast cancer ( N = 108) were randomized intervention n 52) or control group 56). In group, patients provided program based on theory knowledge–attitude–practice during perioperative period first three chemotherapy sessions (mainly...

Optical projection tomography (OPT) is an imaging technology that employs light to reconstruct 3D models of objects. Recent advancements in neural radiance field (NeRF) have improved biomedical imaging, yet they perform suboptimally with low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) data low-cost setups and are not directly applicable OPT systems. Here, we introduce optical (NeOPT), leveraging a setup combined pose-robust neural-based reconstruction method achieve high-quality results. NeOPT incorporates...

Rationale: The number of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) surgeries in China is steadily increasing. To enhance the success rate ACLR, it crucial to understand reasons for ACLR failure. purpose this study determine primary failure and evaluate technical skills associated with revision procedure. Patient concerns: A retrospective clinical data analysis was performed all patients who underwent surgery between January 2014 September 2022. Each patient’s set consisted 3 items...

Incremental object detection (IOD) is a challenging task that requires models to continuously learn from newly arriving data. This work focuses on incremental learning for vision-language detectors (VLDs), an under explored domain. Existing research typically adopts local alignment paradigm avoid label conflicts, where different tasks are learned separately without interaction. However, we reveal this practice fails effectively preserve the semantic structure. Specifically, aligned...

Spatial disparities in rangeland conditions across Kazakhstan complicate field-based assessments of livestock-carrying capacity (LCC), a critical metric for the country’s food security and economic planning. This study developed geospatial (GLCC) modeling framework to quantify LCC spatio-temporal dynamics at Oblast level, by integrating satellite-derived data on vegetation, water resources, terrain with situ measurements. By providing ground-truth observations contextual detail, measurements...

Background Growing evidence suggests a relationship between deficits in cognitive control and anxiety. However, studies examining within affective contexts (affective control) are limited, the specific characteristics of patients with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) remain unclear. This study investigated whether differences exist under contexts. Methods We conduct our research population GAD (n = 50) healthy group 50). The flanker task measured inhibition, while flexibility assessed...

Female pelvic floor disorders, including female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) or sexual dysfunction are notorious for affecting the quality of women's life. It is reported that laser therapy might result in collagen remodeling and improvement tissue firmness. The study was conducted to evaluate short-term outcome disorders treated by therapy. Women with self-reported symptoms (limited SUI dysfunction) were included study. participants Er:YAG fractional microablative carbon dioxide (CO2)...

Heavy investments in hydroelectric development are occurring throughout the Amazon Basin, which holds 42.2 percent of Brazil's potential. The Belo Monte dam is most recent and largest project this region. prevalence septic systems Amazon, coupled with widespread use water wells rising table from filling reservoir, create sanitation health concerns for upstream communities. Using spatial analytical data terrain analyses, we identify high-risk locations within densely populated neighborhoods...
