Impact of Highly Effective Modulator Therapy on Olfactory‐Specific Gene Expression in People With Cystic Fibrosis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis is common in people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF). Highly effective modulator therapy (HEMT) has been shown to improve sinonasal outcomes. However, prior studies failed to show improvement in objective olfaction with HEMT, and the impact of HEMT on olfactory‐specific quality of life has yet to be studied ...

Synergistic Effect on Enhanced Oil Recovery in High Salinity Carbonate Reservoirs Using a Novel PEI‐Functionalized Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposite

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Enhancing oil recovery (EOR) in mature reservoirs is hindered by high interfacial tension (IFT) and oil‐wet rock formations, especially under harsh, high‐salinity conditions. This study aims to overcome these limitations by synthesizing a novel carbon nanotube nanocomposite covalently grafted with polyethylenimine and non‐covalently ...

The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.
