In this paper, the authors address that the quality of water affects the health of animals and humans directly due to chemical and microbial pollutants. They advocate an integrated One-Water/One-Health framework to study sources, transport, and impacts of emerging contaminants and pathogens from wastewater. The paper focuses on three key topics: 1) Environmental Virology (using viruses as fecal pollution indicators), 2) Emerging Contaminants (human-altered chemical signatures), and 3) The Wastewater-Water Amalgam (assessing global fecal pollution impacts using new tools). They stress the urgent need to identify at-risk ecosystems and populations by integrating monitoring data, global mapping, and source diagnostics into watershed programs prioritizing viruses, microbial tracking, and emerging contaminants.
A recent study demonstrates that the IBDV VP2 subunit vaccine prepared in this study was able to induce the production of specific antibodies, inhibit bursal atrophy and resist viral attack. The vaccine offers a safer alternative to traditional live-attenuated vaccines, with potential applications in global poultry disease control.
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a significant health concern among adolescents and young adults, often resulting from adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Dissociation, post-traumatic symptoms and attachment style may have a role in shaping such associations. This study aims to provide a unified model of the impact of ACEs on NSSI, exploring complex post-traumatic stress disorder (cPTSD) symptoms and dissociation as potential mediators and the role of the predominant attachment style in affecting such associations.
Schizophrenia is characterised by pervasive cognitive deficits that significantly impair daily functioning and quality of life. Pharmacological treatments have limited efficacy in addressing these deficits, highlighting the need for adjunctive interventions like computerised cognitive training (CCT). This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a 30-session CCT programme on mental well-being and cognitive performance in individuals with schizophrenia. Additionally, it assessed the usability and acceptability of CCT in this population.
