Geothermal heating affecting ocean stratification and circulation after the Last Glacial Maximum
Authors: LIU Yonggang , Zhang Ming , Cui Qi , Zhu Jiang , Wang Zhuoqun , Lohmann Gerrit 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Geothermal heat flux through the seafloor is shown to influence the deep ocean's stratification during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, approximately 21,000 years ago). A fully coupled climate model indicates that geothermal heating leads to weaker density stratification, resulting in warmer, fresher deep waters, enhanced formation of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW), and a deeper Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). These effects are linked to increased abyssal vertical mixing and altered sea-ice dynamics. In contrast, modern-day geothermal heating produces saltier AABW, driven by a different response of sea ice. By altering vertical mixing and sea-ice behavior, geothermal heating can have triggered the atmospheric CO2 release during the termination.

Abstract

The concept of habitability has evolved significantly over the past few decades, driven by increased knowledge of microbial life in extreme environments on Earth. When assessing a planet's potential to support life, researchers urgently need to develop techniques capable of identifying and differentiating false biosignatures within geological matrices. It is essential to recognize the synergistic effects of biotic and abiotic factors, as habitats and organisms co-evolve over time. Hot springs, which host organisms such as Cyanobacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryotes, provide environments where temperature and minerals play critical roles in supporting life. These conditions offer analogues for Mars, thus attracting astrobiological research. A recent study of the travertine deposit from Puga hot spring in Ladakh suggests that diatoms found in calcic-rich sinter (travertine) samples were primarily deposited in cold water rather than surviving in the “hot” conditions of the hot spring environment. However, this finding requires further confirmation through geochemical analysis. For the first time, our study applies X-ray powder diffraction analysis and lattice parameter calculations to the travertine deposit of Puga hot spring, demonstrating that calcite crystal formation results from biologically controlled biomineralization. Our X-ray diffraction analysis of the same travertine sample reveals that calcite crystals predominantly form through biogenic mediation, showing anisotropic lattice distortions with elongation of C-O bonds of carbonate groups in calcite crystal lattice, typical of biogenic origins, unlike geological or synthetic counterparts. The presence of biogenic calcite suggests that the microspecies likely thrived in colder waters, complementing previous biotic studies rather than in hot water. We propose that the biogenic calcite phase found in the travertine sample, along with the absence of aragonite phase, represents secondary deposition driven and supported by cold environments. Therefore, it should be considered a "false biosignature" of life in extreme “hot” hot-spring conditions and may be linked with colder conditions rather than hot. The term “hot” should be cautiously used when correlating with evidence of life forms thriving in extreme “hot” environments, particularly in extreme cold regions like Ladakh, India.

Are CO2 emissions a reason for drought in the United States?
Authors: Aydin Mahsum 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT

In this study, the relationship between carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and drought (Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index) is investigated using data from 51 states in the US for the period 1997–2020. For this purpose, firstly, information about previous studies and the results of these studies are given in the study. Later, as empirical analysis, cross-section dependency tests, slope homogeneity tests, unit root analyses, cointegration tests, and causality analyses were performed. Then, short- and long-term parameter estimates are made for the entire panel and for each case. Lastly, impulse-response analyses are made. When the results are evaluated in general, it is found that CO2 emissions and drought in the US affect each other in the short and long term. CO2 emissions have been shown to have an increasing effect on drought, especially in most of the states located in the southeastern region of the US. On the other hand, CO2 emissions have been found to cause an increase in the incidence of wet periods in a significant part of the states located in the northeastern region of the US.
Numerical analysis and experimental study for removal of copper and zinc from groundwater by dielectric barrier discharge
Authors: Liu Aonan , Li Xuezhi , Zuo Hang , Ma Lida , Tian Wenjie , Zhang Linlin 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT
Conventional methods of treating zinc and copper have the disadvantages of secondary contamination and complex control processes. This paper investigates the removal characteristics of gas–liquid mixed dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) in high-concentration copper–zinc groundwater. The study combines numerical simulation and experimentation to analyze the effects of discharge power, initial pH, gas flow rate, and liquid flow rate on copper and zinc removal rates. The results show that a better gas–liquid mixing distribution can be achieved when the inlet flow rate is 40 L/min and the inlet flow rate is below 200 mL/min. The removal of Cu can be up to 98.68% and Zn up to 96.28% when the discharge power is 56 W and the initial pH is 11. The optimum treatment time for Cu2+ is 3–6 min, while the best copper removal occurs at a gas flow rate of 20–30 L/min and a liquid flow rate of 100 mL/min. It was found that the optimum treatment time for Zn2+ was different for different process parameters, mainly in the range of 9–12 min, which needs to be noted in future production applications. Therefore, DBD can efficiently eliminate copper and zinc ions from groundwater to meet environmental discharge standards.

Authors: Yang Hongkai , Qi Xuan , Wang Wuling , Du Bing , Xue Wei , Duan Shaofeng , He Yongsheng , Chen Qiong 
Published: November 2024

Introduction:
The use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and radiomics improves the management of Prostate Cancer (PCa) and helps in differentiating
between clinically insignificant and significant PCa. This study has explored the diagnostic value of radiomic analysis based on functional
parameter maps from monoexponential and diffusion kurtosis models in MRI for differentiating between clinically insignificant and significant
PCa.

Methods:
In total, 105 PCa cases, including 38 clinically insignificant and 67 clinically significant PCa cases, were retrospectively analyzed. The patients
were randomly divided into training and testing sets in a ratio of 7:3. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed, and
1,352 radiomic features were extracted from ADC, MD, and MK images. Clinical, radiomic, and clinical–radiomic models were developed and
compared using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, decision curve analysis, and calibration curves.

Results:
Clinical variables, such as TPSA, PI-RADS, and FPSA, were identified as independent risk factors for differentiating between clinically
insignificant and significant PCa. In radiomics, three features were identified as highly weighted indicators. The clinical–radiomic model based on
the clinical and radiomic features demonstrated the highest predictive efficacy for clinically insignificant and significant PCa, with area under the
curve values of 0.940 and 0.861 in the training and test sets, respectively.

Conclusion:
The predictive model constructed from clinical and radiomic features exhibited substantial diagnostic differentiation capabilities for clinically
insignificant and significant PCa. The clinical–radiomic model displayed the highest predictive performance, promising significant contributions to
future clinical treatment and assessment of PCa.

Authors: Jamir Ajungla , Longkumer Sentiyanger , Pankaj Prany Punj 
Published: November 2024

Aims:
The primary aim of this study is to investigate the potential therapeutic effects of Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) in a zebrafish model of diabetes
induced by streptozotocin.

Background:
Diabetes mellitus is characterized by chronic organ dysfunction and failure. Natural compounds, particularly polyphenols such as EGCG present in
green tea, have garnered attention for their potential in managing various complications associated with diabetes owing to their antioxidant and
anti-inflammatory properties.

Objective:
This study seeks to evaluate the influence of EGCG on oxidative stress markers, antioxidant levels, and histopathological alterations in the liver,
kidney, and gills of zebrafish rendered diabetic through streptozotocin administration.

Methods:
Zebrafish subjects were allocated into four groups: control, diabetic, diabetic + EGCG, and control + EGCG. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and
catalase (CAT) activities were quantified, and histopathological assessments were conducted on day 21 of the experimental period.

Results:
Diabetic zebrafish exhibited pronounced reductions in SOD and CAT activities relative to control counterparts, coupled with notable histological
changes indicative of organ impairment. Conversely, EGCG treatment attenuated oxidative stress bolstered antioxidant defenses and mitigated
histopathological abnormalities in the liver, kidney, and gills of diabetic zebrafish.

Conclusion:
EGCG exhibits promising therapeutic potential in safeguarding multiple organs against diabetes-induced injury, underscoring its significance in
ameliorating diabetic complications.

Other:
These findings emphasize the importance of investigating natural compounds such as EGCG as potential therapeutic agents for managing diabetesrelated
complications. Further elucidation of the mechanistic underpinnings and clinical applicability of EGCG in diabetes management warrants
future research endeavors.
Reconstructing Risk Dimensions in Telemedicine: Investigating Technology Adoption and Barriers During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Taiwan
Authors: Wu Tzu-Chi , Ho Chien-Ta 
Published: November 2024

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted health care toward virtual and online models, impacting both users and providers. Numerous user concerns and perceived risks related to telemedicine are continually evolving and adjusting in response to the pandemic. In many countries, there has been a substantial increase in the use of virtual health care visits, which offers a unique opportunity for researchers to explore these user concerns.

Objective
This study aimed to first reconstruct the risk dimensions associated with telemedicine, then identify the risk factors affecting users’ adoption, and finally propose effective solutions to mitigate these concerns. By integrating the newly constructed perceived risk with the technology acceptance model (TAM), we scrutinized various dimensions of perceived risk and their influence on users’ perceptions of ease of use, perceived usefulness, and use intention (UI).

Methods
Our target population consists of adults aged ≥18 years who have used or may use telemedicine services, recruited through an anonymous, voluntary, open, web-based survey. We collected responses and used part of them to reconstruct risk dimensions using exploratory factor analysis. Subsequently, we analyzed the intricate relationship between perceived risk, the TAM, and the acceptance of telemedicine using structural equation modeling with another part of the responses.

Results
A total of 1600 valid responses were collected. Eight distinct risk dimensions were reconstructed, revealing a substantial negative impact of performance risk on UI. The psychological and social risk was the strongest barrier to the ease of using telemedicine. Time risk, provider risk, and privacy risk were not statistically significant to the TAM. The resulting model elucidates a remarkable 66% variance in UI for telemedicine services.

Conclusions
This study substantially advances the field of telemedicine research by reconstructing and redefining 8 risk dimensions and confirming the statistical significance of 5 perceived risks on the adoption of telemedicine services. These insights are poised to facilitate the promotion and enhancement of telemedicine services in the health care sector.
Impact of Preventive Intravenous Amiodarone on Reperfusion Ventricular Fibrillation in Patients With Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Undergoing Open-Heart Surgery: Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Authors: Gong Chan-Juan , Zhou Xiao-Kai , Zhang Zhen-Feng , Fang Yin 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a vicious arrhythmia usually generated after removal of the aortic cross-clamp (ACC) in patients undergoing open-heart surgery, which could damage cardiomyocytes, especially in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Amiodarone has the prominent properties of converting VF and restoring sinus rhythm. However, few studies concentrated on the effect of amiodarone before ACC release on reducing VF in patients with LVH.

Objective
The study was designed to explore the effectiveness of prophylactic intravenous amiodarone in reducing VF after the release of the ACC in patients with LVH.

Methods
A total of 54 patients with LVH scheduled for open-heart surgery were enrolled and randomly divided (1:1) into 2 groups—group A (amiodarone group) and group P (placebo-controlled group). Thirty minutes before removal of the ACC, the trial drugs were administered intravenously. In group A, 150 mg of amiodarone was pumped in 15 minutes. In group P, the same volume of normal saline was pumped in 15 minutes. The primary outcome was the incidence of VF 10 minutes after removal of the ACC.

Results
The incidence of VF was lower in group A than in group P (30% vs 70%, P=.003). The duration of VF, the number of defibrillations, and the defibrillation energy were also lower in group A than in group P (P<.001, P=.002, and P=.002, respectively). After the end of cardiopulmonary bypass, the heart rate and mean arterial pressure were lower in group A, and the mean pulmonary arterial pressure and the dose of vasoactive drugs were higher than those in group P (P<.001, P<.001, P=.04, and P=.02, respectively). However, there were no significant differences in the use of vasoactive-inotropic agents and hemodynamic status between the 2 groups before the end of surgery.

Conclusions
In patients with LVH who undergo open-heart surgery, amiodarone can be safely used to reduce the incidence of VF, the duration of VF, the frequency of defibrillation, and the energy of defibrillation after ACC removal.
