Abstract Background High‐frequency (130–185 Hz) deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus is more effective for appendicular than axial symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD). Low‐frequency (60–80 Hz) stimulation (LFS) may reduce gait/balance impairment but typically results in worsening appendicular symptoms. We created a “dual‐frequency” programming paradigm (interleave‐interlink, IL‐IL) to address both axial and appendicular symptoms. In IL‐IL, 2 overlapping LFS programs are...

Abstract For the first time, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey released data on ethylene oxide (ETO) into public domain for US children aged 6–11 years, adolescents aged 12–19 years, and adults aged ≥ 20 years for 2013–2016. This study was undertaken to evaluate the associations between concentrations of ETO in whole blood and smoking, exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), and self-reported diagnosis of cancers including breast cancer. Both adolescent (29.6...

Abstract Brazilian berry seeds (Eugenia uniflora) were used as an eco-friendly and low-cost biosorbent for the treatment of textile effluents containing methylene blue. Characterization techniques indicated that Brazilian berry seeds are constituted of irregular particles, mainly composed of lignin and holocellulose groups, distributed in an amorphous structure. Methylene blue biosorption was favorable at pH of 8, using a biosorbent dosage of 0.8 g L−1. The equilibrium was reached...

Abstract Understanding where and how human land use causes ecological consequences is essential for habitat conservation. However, the assessment of the ecological disturbance caused by human land use is usually shaped by the area change in ecological land. The comprehensive evaluation of ecological disturbance based on the losses and gains of ecological patches is neglected. This paper analyzed the land use change between agricultural land, construction land, and ecological land...

Abstract A 15400-year mercury (Hg) accumulation history was reconstructed from a lake sediment core collected from Daping Swamp in western Nanling Mountains, South China. Our results show that the natural input of Hg was deeply influenced by varying climatic conditions. Under wet and warm conditions, increased surface soil organic matter induced by improved vegetation conditions favor an increased input of surface soil-bound Hg to the lake, thus leading to higher Hg accumulation...

Abstract This study examines the short-run and long-run asymmetric effects of clean energy consumption on carbon emission in Pakistan, over the annual time period 1975–2018, by using a non-linear ARDL approach. The findings of the study confirm the existence of asymmetries, in the nexus between the clean energy consumption and carbon emission in the short and long run. The findings of non-linear model confirm that carbon emission responded contrary to positive shocks of energy...

We investigated the potential of CA to prevent methotrexate (MTX) hepatotoxicity, pointing to the role of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling and PPARγ. Rats received CA for 15 days and were then injected with MTX at day 16. Blood and tissue samples were collected for analysis at day 19. CA ameliorated liver function markers and mitigated histological alterations in MTX-induced rats. Pre-treatment with...

Abstract In this study, indirect carbonation was carried out by using cement kiln dust (CKD), an alkaline industrial by-product, and three chelating agents (citrate, malonate, and adipate salts) as solvents at the room temperature and atmospheric pressure. We derived the optimum conditions for eluting Ca from CKD, as well as those for storing CO2 and producing CaCO3 through carbonation. The most important factor affecting the Ca elution from CKD was the solvent concentration and...
