CONCLUSIONS: More than one in eight patients presenting with an opioid overdose were exposed to levamisole. These findings provide potential new evidence for levamisole adulteration alongside fentanyl and its analogues.

Our study evaluated the fragmentation and chemical transformation of consumer-derived polymers exposed to UV radiation or thermal oxidation, followed by soil abrasion. Although UV exposure and elevated temperatures are common in environmental and use-phase settings (e.g., surface exposure and contact with hot food or liquids), their combined effects with mechanical abrasion (wind, surface runoff, or improper disposal into soils, riverbanks, and other sediment-rich environments) on microplastic...

CONCLUSIONS: Importantly, this project underscores the value of co-creating wellness interventions that are grounded in sovereignty, relational accountability, and cultural continuity. By centering Indigenous knowledge systems and investing in community-led sustainability through teacher training, such efforts can serve as models for future culturally resonant health promotion program development.

INTRODUCTION: Given the role of microbiomes in promoting host health and homeostasis, understanding the factors shaping skin microbial communities in wild vertebrates has become increasingly important in conservation. This goal is even more pressing for amphibians, for which the skin has multiple critical functions, and pathogens currently decimating populations are linked to significant changes in skin microbiomes. However, because microbiomes are also shaped by environmental and ecological...

CONCLUSION: Definitive RT after neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy demonstrates promising effectiveness and safety in patients unable to undergo planned surgery. Prospective studies should focus on adaptive RT approaches and biomarker development to improve outcomes in this challenging population.
