Successful treatment of late onset empyema after extrapleural pneumonectomy: A case report

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2019
Treatment of post-extrapleural pneumonectomy empyema (PEPPE) is more difficult than that for post-pneumonectomy empyema for two reasons: first, a large infectious dead space remains after extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP); and second, defects of the ...

Sensitive Period Analysis of Adulthood BMI and Cancer Risk: An Individual Participant Data Meta-Analysis of Over 720,000 Participants in the ABACus 2 Consortium. [PDF]

Int J Cancer
Over a dozen cancers have been associated with excess body mass index, primarily in mid‐to‐late adulthood. Whether obesity‐related cancer risk differs across adulthood remains unclear. Using the Sensitive Periods Model and super‐landmarking approaches, this study found that higher BMI increased obesity‐related cancer risk across ages 30–65.

Reciprocal relations shape cultural landscapes: Women's environmental stewardship in Ait Bouguemez (High Atlas, Morocco)

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Mountain social–ecological systems encompass steep ecological gradients and diverse cultural practices, yet the relative roles of these factors in shaping mountain landscapes remain underexplored. In particular, the knowledge and practices of women in coproducing biocultural landscapes are often invisible in the academic literature. In the Ait

Hyperprogressive disease after treatment with pembrolizumab in lung adenocarcinoma: An autopsy case study

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2019
Although immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become an important choice of treatment for advanced NSCLC, recent reports show hyperprogressive disease (HPD) after ICI administration. The clinico-pathological features of HPD still remain unclear. Here

Robust Performance Loss Rate Calculation for Photovoltaic Systems in High Latitude Locations

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.
This work studies the best methods for performance loss rate (PLR) calculation in high latitude locations, characterized by strong seasonal variability. As the different methods can drastically affect the PLR value, an ensemble method consisting of multiple approaches was validated to be essential in identifying robust PLRs.

Experimental investigation of reinforced concrete members subjected to reversed cyclic axial loading

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents an experimental campaign of five reinforced concrete members subjected to cyclic axial loading alternating between tension and compression. Fiber optical sensors and digital image correlation, in combination with automated crack detection and measurement, were used to investigate, among other aspects, the development of ...
