The Impact of Flooding on Soil Microbial Communities and Their Functions: A Review by Ashim Kumar Das, Da-Sol Lee, Youn-Ji Woo, Sharmin Sultana, Apple Mahmud, Byung-Wook Yun

“…Unpredictable weather events, including flooding from heavy rainfall, flash floods, and seawater intrusion, profoundly impact soil ecology, which is primarily challenged by flooding stress, and imbalances these microbial communities and their functions. This disturbance impairs the symbiotic exchanges between microbes and plants by limiting root exudates and habitats for microbes, as well as nutrient acquisition efficiency for plants. …”

Neuropad Assessment of Sudomotor Function Across Glycemic Levels in Adults by Wang Q, Yang Z, Zhao S, Tian C, Zhang P, Li R

“…With increasing FPG and HbA1c levels, the 10-minute slope decreased progressively (P =0.003, P=0.006). (2) A multivariable linear mixed-effects model adjusted for confounders indicated that previously diagnosed diabetes was an independent predictor of reduced sudomotor function. (3) Adjusting for the same confounders, previously diagnosed diabetes was associated with a 3.480-fold greater risk of incomplete color change than was normoglycemia (OR = 3.480, 95% CI = 1.506– 8.042). (4) Age, BMI, ALB, eGFR, and alcohol consumption history were closely associated with sudomotor function.Conclusion: There is a progressive decline in sudomotor function with increasing blood glucose levels in a physical examination cohort, and previously diagnosed diabetes emerges as an independent risk factor for sudomotor dysfunction.Keywords: neuropad, sudomotor dysfunction, sudomotor function, physical examination cohort, DPN…”
