Corticosterone Under Experimental Manipulation of Nutrition and Parasite Burden in a Wild Rodent System

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pressures shape survival and life‐history dynamics partly by triggering the release of glucocorticoids, whose short‐term benefits but long‐term costs make it essential to understand what drives their levels. Here, we used an experimental manipulation of two environmental stressors—food availability and parasite burden—to directly

Bed bug species profiling, knowledge, attitudes, and control practices in senior high schools in Ghana

Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology
Background Bed bugs are nuisance biters whose bites commonly cause intense itching and significant psychological discomfort; additionally, their bites have been associated with allergic reactions and secondary infections, including impetigo, ecthyma, and

Longitudinal 1H and 129Xe Lung MRI in Patients With Post‐COVID Residual Lung Abnormalities

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background It is unclear how lung function may recover in patients with residual lung abnormalities (RLAs) following COVID‐19 pneumonia. Purpose To evaluate lung function trends over time in patients with RLAs following hospitalization due to COVID‐19. Study Type Prospective, multicenter longitudinal cohort study.

Prone Breast Radiotherapy on the MR‐Linac: A Technical Note on Skin‐Couch Contact Dose Effects

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This retrospective planning study evaluated the dosimetric effects of skin‐couch contact during prone APBI on a 1.5 T MR‐Linac by comparing treatment plans calculated with and without a magnetic field. While the presence of the magnetic field increased overall superficial skin dose, it consistently reduced dose at the skin‐couch contact region ...

Through Rested Eyes: The Relevance of Sleep for Dynamic Changes and Stable Differences in Employees' Stress Appraisals

Journal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Even though stress appraisals determine employees' states and behaviors at work, knowledge of their antecedents is limited. This research project integrates sleep research into the transactional stress theory to explain how sleep, as a key factor shaping employees' resource availability, relates to employees' appraisals of their job demands ...

Age‐related local versus systemic early phase wound healing dynamics following free gingival graft harvest

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Free palatal gingival grafts (FGG) are commonly harvested during mucogingival procedures. The present study investigates age‐related local and systemic early secondary wound healing outcomes, following FGG harvest in a rat model. Methods A 4.2 mm diameter defect was created in the palate of 24 younger (2 m) and 24 older (6 m) Wistar

Palatal donor site wound healing following mucogingival surgery using amnion‐chorion membrane: A randomized controlled clinical trial

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Free soft tissue autografts (FSTA) harvested from a patient's palate are frequently associated with significant postoperative morbidity. Several wound dressings have been applied to the palatal donor site with the aim of reducing postoperative complications and improving wound healing.

Field Studies on the Influence of High‐Voltage Direct Transmission Underground Cables on Soils Along the SuedLink Route in Southwest Germany

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
During regular operation of the SuedLink at a load ≤75 %, the average increase in temperature in the plowing horizon is expected to be less than 1.6°C in the soils along the route in Southwest Germany. ABSTRACT Background The SuedLink was planned as a high‐voltage direct‐current underground cable route. The construction itself is a massive intervention

Somatic and gastrointestinal symptoms longitudinally predict early adolescent disordered eating

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Somatic complaints have been identified as potential risk factors for the development of disordered eating. Emerging evidence suggests that gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, specifically, may precede and contribute to disordered eating onset. However, existing research in early adolescents is limited and largely cross‐sectional.
