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

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
