Integrated Alpha–Gamma Radiation Exposure From Natural Radionuclides in Cement and Gypsum Production: Implications for Occupational Lung Cancer Risk

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Natural radionuclides in cement and gypsum production materials pose significant risks of occupational radiation exposure that are not well documented in Iraqi Kurdistan. This study quantifies alpha and gamma radiation levels from naturally occurring radioactive materials, specifically 222Rn, 238U, 232Th, and 40K, in cement and gypsum samples ...

Safety, Efficacy, and Mechanism of Action of Budesonide in Rhinitis and Rhinosinusitis: A Systematic Review

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Budesonide is a corticosteroid with unique pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties that has been a frontline treatment for patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) since the 1990s. As research on budesonide continues to produce new insights, our aim was to synthesize recent investigations and ...

The Global Airways Unit: A Multidisciplinary Strategy for Early Diagnosis and Comorbidity Detection

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic respiratory diseases impose a large global burden of morbidity, mortality, and cost. The concept of a global airway has become increasingly supported by epidemiologic, mechanistic, and clinical evidence. However, clinical care often remains fragmented between ear, nose, and throat (ENT), allergy, and pulmonology.

Botox Injection Combined With Partial Arytenoidectomy: A Novel Approach for Treatment of Episodic Laryngeal Breathing Disorders

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to develop effective treatments for episodic laryngeal breathing disorders (ELBD), a series of diverse obstructive respiratory disorders with an unknown pathogenesis. The diseases include paradoxical vocal fold motion/movement disorder (PVFMD), vocal cord dysfunction (VCD), irritable larynx syndrome (ILS ...

Successful 22‐Hour Rescue and Release of a 19.5 M Beached Sperm Whale

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
19.5‐m‐long sperm whale was stranded on a mudflat, China on 19 April 2022. A dramatic 22‐hour rescue mission ultimately saved the whale, enabling it to swim back to sea. ABSTRACT Whales, dolphins, and porpoises are important flagship species and play a vital role in maintaining healthy aquatic ecosystems. However, stranded cetaceans are often doomed if

Changes in preferred e‐cigarette flavor, nicotine concentration, wattage and air valve settings and cigarette consumption during a switching trial

open access: yesAddiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims To characterize changes in preferred e‐cigarette (EC) flavor, nicotine concentration, wattage and air valve openness over 12 weeks among adults who smoke and are attempting to switch to ECs, and examine whether these changes are associated with cigarettes smoked per day (CPD).

Serotonin Degradation and Lipid Metabolism Regulate Human Tc2 Cell Effector Functions

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Human Tc2 cells exhibit a metabolically active phenotype characterized by enhanced glycolysis, mitochondrial respiration, and fatty acid uptake dependent on PPARγ. Alarmins strongly amplify IL‐5 and IL‐13 production in Tc2 cells, supporting a shared immunometabolic program across type 2 lymphocytes.

Deficiency of Mitochondrial Fatty Acid Enzyme, CPT1A, Underlies Airway Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction in Severe Asthma

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial fatty acid enzyme, CPT1A, is deficient in the airway epithelium of severe asthma patients. Restoration of CPT1A expression improved epithelial barrier integrity via increasing mitochondrial respiration and ATP production in airway epithelial cells. Restoration of deficient epithelial CPT1A may represent a new treatment approach for severe
