Unraveling Groundwater Challenges in Iran’s Jazmurian Basin—A GIS and Statistical Odyssey
Arid regions globally face a dual crisis: shrinking groundwater and declining quality. Our study in Scientific Reports explores 18 years of data in Iran’s Jazmurian Basin, using GIS and advanced statistics to reveal salinity spikes, drought risks, and degradation drivers.
A standardised comparison of chest and percutaneous drainage catheters to evaluate the applicability of the ‘French’ sizing units
Percutaneous drainage is a potentially organ and/or life saving procedure for accumulation of pus in infection, fluid caused by cancer or organ obstruction such as the kidney or the liver.
The fallacy across medical specialties is assuming that catheters of the same size have the same performance.
Gongolaria barbata, the Golden pine seaweed: a paradigm example of the complexity of marine forest management along the French Mediterranean coast.

Electrocardiogram analysis for cardiac arrhythmia classification and prediction through self attention based auto encoder
Sudden cardiac arrest among young people is a recent worldwide risk, and it is noticed that people with cardiac arrhythmia are more susceptible to various heart diseases. Manual classification can be error-prone hence automation and accuracy must require.
Gallic and glycyrrhetinic acids prevent azithromycin-induced liver damage in rats by mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation
This study investigates the protective effects of gallic acid and glycyrrhetinic acid against liver damage induced by azithromycin in rats. Azithromycin, a commonly used antibiotic, can cause liver toxicity due to oxidative stress and inflammation.
Blood clotting and tissue healing
The number of blood clots in society is expected to double by 2050. The risk of blood clotting increases significantly after injury, surgery, or leg immobilization. However, the effects of blood clots on tissue healing and the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain largely unknown.
Experimental and numerical investigation to optimise liquid desiccant system for advanced air conditioning
This study aims to experimentally demonstrate a liquid desiccant systems effectiveness by using thermo-chemical fluid, such as aqueous solution of calcium chloride. This study evaluated the effect of operating temperatures on air properties and air flow rates
