Designing Butterfly‐Inspired Architecture in Self‐Assembled Hybrid Composites for Synergistic Structural Thermal Management

Small, EarlyView.
Pioneering a butterfly‐inspired design strategy, this work engineers hybrid composites with hierarchical fibrous architectures to achieve synergistic performance. By translating biological principles into scalable composite architectures, it introduces a novel pathway to lightweight, multifunctional, and cost‐effective materials.

Determination of perceived stress, salivary cortisol and interleukin-1β levels and clinical features of chronic urticaria in patients with dermographic urticaria in comparison to patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria and healthy individuals

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionAlthough dermographic urticaria or symptomatic dermographism (SD), is the most common chronic inducible urticaria subtype, little is known about its etiopathogenesis and associated factors such as psychological stress.MethodsIn this cross ...

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Route‐Dependent Toxicity and Ecological Selectivity of Melaleuca alternifolia Essential Oil in Apis mellifera Linnaeus, 1758 (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The intensification of agricultural practices has led to an increase in the use of insecticides, raising concerns about the exposure of non‐target organisms, particularly pollinators. In this context, plant‐derived essential oils have been proposed as environmentally friendlier alternatives due to their low persistence; however, their ...

Clinical characteristics of immediate allergic adverse reactions to intravenous amoxicillin‒clavulanic acid in conscious dogs

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Amoxicillin‒clavulanic acid (AMC) is one of the most frequently used antibiotics in small animal practice, and reports on adverse reactions are scarce. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics of immediate allergic adverse reactions to intravenous (IV) AMC in conscious dogs. Methods The medical records of a

The polysaccharide Pullulan improves the initial steps of allergen‐specific immunotherapy in dogs

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Allergen‐specific immunotherapy (AIT) is the only aetiological treatment for canine atopic dermatitis (CAD). Pullulan, a polysaccharide with immunomodulatory properties, may enhance AIT outcomes when combined with allergens such as recombinant Dermatophagoides farinae 2 (Der f 2).

Differential Effects of Dupilumab in a Patient With Localized Heat Urticaria, Delayed Solar Urticaria, and Symptomatic Dermographism

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Physical urticaria is a subtype of chronic inducible urticaria characterized by wheals and/or angioedema triggered by physical stimuli. We report a refractory case of combined localized heat urticaria, delayed solar urticaria, and symptomatic dermographism in a 16‐year‐old girl.
