Wetlands, known as the “kidney of the earth”, are an important component of global ecosystems.
However, they have been changed under multiple stresses in recent decades, which is …

Background Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have shown promise in
reducing the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the results are controversial and the …

… Ying Sun, Yuefeng Yu, and Kun Zhang wrote the manuscript, researched data, and
reviewed/edited the manuscript. Bowei Yu, Yuetian Yu, and Bin Wang reviewed/edited the …

Background Limited studies have explored the association between visceral adipose tissue
(VAT) mass and fat‐to‐muscle mass ratio (FMR) and mortality. We aimed to evaluate the sex…

Soil moisture plays a fundamental role in eco-hydrological processes in the semi-arid Loess
Plateau. Catchments on the Loess Plateau can be generally divided into the hillslope …

BACKGROUND: An association between sweetened beverages and several cardiometabolic
diseases has been reported, but their association with atrial fibrillation (AF) is unclear. We …

Groundwater level (GWL) recovery in some semiarid regions, attributed to mitigation
countermeasures for groundwater depletion, potentially causes nitrate accumulated in the vadose …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) has become the pre-dominant arrhythmia worldwide and is associated
with high morbidity and mortality. Its pathogenesis is intricately linked to the deleterious …

This study investigated toluene adsorption on natural soils. The linear partition model was
found to represent the adsorption isotherm well (R 2 = 0.958–0.994), compared with the …

Convertible cellulose and lignin were simultaneously isolated from wheat straw using a two-stage
process via simply varying temperature and H 2 SO 4 concentration. At the first-stage, …
