Comparative analysis of rodent lens morphometrics and biomechanical properties
Frontiers in OphthalmologyIntroductionProper ocular lens function requires biomechanical flexibility, which is reduced during aging. As increasing lens size has been shown to correlate with lens biomechanical stiffness in aging, we tested the hypothesis that whole lens size ...

An Experimental Study on the Protective Effect of Memantine in Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective This study examined the potential protective effects of memantine, an N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, against acoustic trauma (AT) in guinea pigs, using electrophysiological and histopathological analyses. Methods Thirty guinea pigs with normal hearing were divided into six groups (n = 5 per group): Group 1 (control),

Antimicrobial Use in Livestock: The Economic Cost of Action or Inaction
Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper quantifies the economy‐wide consequences of two independent global stress‐tests in livestock production. The first assesses the effects of phasing out antimicrobial growth promoters (AGPs), and the second evaluates the long‐term impacts of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) progression.

Adapting to Change: The Dynamic Crop Production Systems of Smallholder Farmers in the PNG Highlands
Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Smallholder sweet potato farmers in Papua New Guinea's Eastern Highlands Province (EHP) face challenges as they navigate social, economic, demographic, and environmental change. While they routinely adapt to weather variability and shifting markets, population growth is placing additional strain on an already finely balanced farming system ...

Indigenous‐Led Adaptation to Complex Climate Risks in New Ireland, Papua New Guinea
Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pacific Island peoples have long histories of adapting to environmental changes, but recent climate change is now driving complex risks that unfold within rapidly shifting societal and environmental contexts. This study investigates how remote Indigenous communities in New Ireland, Papua New Guinea, experience and want to respond to complex ...
