Differences in the Evaluation and Diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea by Sex: A Systematic Review

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This systematic review of 33 studies found that females with obstructive sleep apnea generally presented at an older age and with higher BMI, whereas males generally had greater neck circumference and apnea‐hypopnea index. These findings highlight clinically relevant sex‐based differences in OSA evaluation and support more individualized approaches to ...

Ditch‐Buried Straw Return Improves Soil Physical Quality and Crop Biomass in Two Rice–Wheat Paddy Soil Systems

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ditch‐buried straw return (DB) is an innovative practice combining deep tillage and straw incorporation. This study aimed to evaluate its effects on soil physical quality compared to rotary tillage (RT) and identified key constraints to crop in sandy‐loam and clay‐loam paddy soils within rice–wheat systems. Two field experiments were conducted

Afforestation Partially Offsets Losses of Soil Conservation Services and Carbon Stock From Direct and Indirect Urban Expansion in China

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban expansion has exerted both direct and indirect impacts on natural land and ecosystem services it supports, driven by increasing population and food demand, yet these underlying pathways remain insufficiently distinguished. Here, we quantified the losses of soil conservation services (water erosion regulation and sandstorm prevention) and

Linking Ecosystem Risk, Health, Services to Ecological Security Assessment in the Yellow River Basin: Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Nonlinear Driving Characteristics

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A scientific assessment of ecological security (ES) and its nonlinear mechanism for key driving factors in the Yellow River Basin (YRB) is of great significance for ecological protection and sustainable development. This study proposes an ES assessment framework, which links ecosystem risk (ER), ecosystem health (EH), and ecosystem services ...

A Sequential One‐Pot Block Copolymer Synthesis: Toward Mesoporous Carbon Materials for Selective CO2 Adsorption

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
A sequential one‐pot photo‐iniferter RAFT method greatly simplifies the synthesis of PAN‐based block copolymers, offering quick access to hierarchically porous, N‐doped carbon membranes. This scalable and reliable process allows for easy fabrication of functional materials important for carbon capture applications.

Sex Differences in Fall Frequency, Risk Factors, and Outcomes in Parkinson's Disease: A Cross‐Sectional Analysis

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Female sex is an independent fall risk factor in Parkinson's disease (PD), yet sex‐specific fall patterns remain unclear. Objectives To compare sex‐specific fall risk and outcomes across PD, prodromal alpha‐synucleinopathy (PAS), and healthy controls (HC); estimate fall frequency across PD progression; and assess how sex modifies ...

Longitudinal Associations between Depression, Daytime Sleepiness, and Caregiver Strain in Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Examine the longitudinal relationship between caregiver strain and Parkinson's patient depression, daytime sleepiness, and treatment with dopamine agonists and antidepressants. Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, in which family caregivers play an integral role in patient care.
