Since 2011, Caribbean territories have experienced massive and repeated sargassum seaweed inundations. Once on shore, degradation through anaerobic metabolism elicits the release of many noxious molecules, including hydrogen sulfide (H2S) ammonia (NH3). H2S has been long recognized as a malodorous highly toxic gas, while chronic exposure not extensively explored. Our objective was to assess whether pregnant women exposed emissions would be more prone developing hypertensive disorders compared unexposed women. We conducted retrospective study 3020 at Obstetrics Department University Hospital Martinique between 25 January 2016 31 July 2020. Exposure defined distance less than 2 km residence/workplace strandings. Multivariate regression retained age, body mass index, sickle cell disease, primipaternity, gestational diabetes independent predictors events in Jointly with previous studies from our group, this highlights deleterious effects human health individuals chronically low moderate concentrations.

Abstract Sargassum biomass (SB) represents a current environmental, economic and health problem in the Caribbean. However, there is an opportunity to valorize it order minimize its impacts. Also, important limitation, namely, material of high recalcitrance structure, which means that needs prior treatment allows access compounds interest for later exploitation. It therefore necessary know if proposed sustainable. The objective this work evaluate valorization SB by life cycle analysis, with 30 environmental indicators Greenscope tool. results indicate all had sustainability score between 90 100%, indicating process not polluting does represent risk or danger human health. Consequently, deemed sustainable has potential prevent spread microorganisms responsible generation greenhouse gases leachates, are linked issues associated blooms.

Introduction Central sleep apnea (CSA) is a sleep-related breathing disorder in which the effort to breathe intermittently diminished or absent. CSA common among patients with different cardiovascular disorders, including heart failure. In addition, growing number of medications have been shown induce and can emerge after initiation treatment for obstructive apnea. Accumulating evidence shows that heterogeneous individual differences clinical biological characteristics and/or underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.
