Happiness and Smell: Overlooked Factors in Endoscopic Sinus Surgery?

Clinical Otolaryngology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study investigates the impact of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) on happiness levels in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and examines the factors influencing postoperative happiness. Methods This study included 55 patients (34 males, 21 females; mean age, 41.2 ± 14.7 years) who underwent

Effective dose of intranasal remimazolam for preoperative sedation in preschool children: a dose-finding study using Dixon’s up-and-down method

Frontiers in Pharmacology
Background:Most preschool children are distressed during anesthesia induction. While current pharmacological methods are useful, there is a need for further optimization to an “ideal” standard.

Disruption of iron metabolism resulting from Dmt1/Slc11a2 deficiency compromises Notch protein degradation and transcriptional activation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Divalent metal transporter 1 (Dmt1) maintains iron homeostasis and lysosomal proteostasis required for physiological Notch receptor–ligand signaling. Dmt1 loss lowers iron storage capacity (ferritin), increasing intracellular Fe2+, driving ROS and lipid peroxidation, and leading to lysosomal/mitochondrial dysfunction.

A non-parametric framework for estimating threshold limit values

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2005
Background To estimate a threshold limit value for a compound known to have harmful health effects, an 'elbow' threshold model is usually applied. We are interested on non-parametric flexible alternatives.

Presystemic influences on thirst, salt appetite, and vasopressin secretion in the hypovolemic rat [PDF]

, 2006
Recent studies have shown that when dehydrated rats are given access to water or various concentrations of saline solution, they consume the same volume of fluid in an initial drinking bout (Hoffmann et al., 2006). Furthermore, there was a close relation

Analytical and Clinical Performance of the Atellica HEMA 580 Haematology Analyzer: A Comparison With the ADVIA 2120i

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The Atellica HEMA 580 is a novel haematology analyser providing eight‐part leukocyte differential and optical platelet (PLT) counting. We compared its analytical and clinical performance with that of the ADVIA 2120i. Methods A total of 796 residual whole blood specimens were analysed.

The impact of isosmotic conditions on the metabolism and hypoxia tolerance of a reportedly oxyconforming teleost

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fish must manage the competing demands of ion balance and gas exchange across the gills – a physiological tension known as the osmorespiratory compromise. In dynamic estuarine environments, the osmorespiratory compromise may be exacerbated by variable salinity and periods of hypoxia that demand high respiratory work.

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.
