Evidence for millennial-scale interactions between Hg cycling and hydroclimate from Lake Bosumtwi, Ghana by A. R. Paine, A. R. Paine, J. Frieling, T. M. Shanahan, T. A. Mather, N. McKay, S. A. Robinson, D. M. Pyle, I. M. Fendley, I. M. Fendley, R. Kiely, W. D. Gosling

“…Specifically, we find that the amplitude and frequency of Hg peaks increase as the lake level rises, suggesting that Hg burial was enhanced in response to an insolation-driven increase in precipitation at <span class="inline-formula">∼</span> 73 ka. A more transient, 3-fold increase in Hg concentration and accumulation rate is also recorded between <span class="inline-formula">∼</span> 13 and 4 ka, coinciding with a period of distinctly higher rainfall across northern Africa known as the African Humid Period. …”

“…IntroductionThe goal of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus LRa05, as an adjunct to the treatment of acute watery diarrhea in children.MethodsEligible diarrheal children were randomized into intervention group (IG, n = 57) and control group (CG, n = 54), and given probiotics or placebo, respectively.ResultsThe total duration of diarrhea in the IG (121.4 ± 13.7 h) was significantly shorter than that in the CG (143.9 ± 19.8 h, p &lt; 0.001). More children in the IG showed improvements in diarrhea than those in the CG for both per protocol analysis (70.2 vs. 46.3%, p = 0.01) and intention-to-treat analysis (66.7 vs. 41.7%, p = 0.003). …”
