Evaluation of Off-Label Postoperative Inhaled Steroid Use in Tracheal and Cricotracheal Resection. [PDF]

Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
Abstract Objective Tracheal resection (TR) and cricotracheal resection (CTR) are associated with anastomotic complications. Off‐label use of inhaled corticosteroids has gained popularity for reducing tracheal granulation tissue, though adoption remains limited due to unclear safety and efficacy.

First records of two mackerel shark species (Carcharodon planus comb. nov. and Carcharodon hubbelli; Lamnidae) from New Zealand. [PDF]

J R Soc N Z
ABSTRACT The fossil record of the genus Carcharodon (Lamniformes: Lamnidae) dates to the late Oligocene and has a near global distribution. Today the genus is represented by a single species, the white shark Carcharodon carcharias. However, multiple extinct species are recognised in the Cenozoic including Carcharodon hastalis, Carcharodon hubbelli and ...

Navigating infection by pathogenic spirochetes: The host-bacteria interface at the atomic level. [PDF]

Protein Sci
Abstract Pathogenic spirochetes bind and interact with various host structures and molecules throughout the course of infection. By utilizing their outer surface molecules, spirochetes can effectively modulate their dissemination, interact with immune system regulators, and select specific destination niches within the host.

Springing into action: Comparing escape responses between bipedal and quadrupedal rodents. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The findings of this study suggest that enlarged hindlimbs improve escape performance by allowing rodents to more efficiently utilize vertical jumping as an antipredator escape response. Abstract Predation is a fundamental selective pressure on animal morphology, as morphology is directly linked with physical performance and evasion. Bipedal heteromyid

A Reappraisal of the 40Ar/38Ar Dating Technique via Irradiation with γ‐Rays

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 579-594, September 2023., 2023
Key Points γ‐ray irradiation of K‐bearing rocks induces formation of 38ArK from 39K and allows calculation of ages similar to the classical neutron‐irradiation technique. The investigated age monitors demonstrate the feasibility of the 40Ar/38Ar‐method for terrestrial samples, but still higher γ‐energies are demanded to provide high precision data.

Mental health and sleep quality of low‐income mothers of one‐year‐olds during the COVID‐19 pandemic

Infant Mental Health Journal: Infancy and Early Childhood, Volume 44, Issue 4, Page 572-586, July 2023., 2023
Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic and subsequent social restrictions created an unprecedented context for families raising young children. Although studies have documented detrimental effects of the pandemic on maternal well‐being, less is known about how the pandemic specifically impacted low‐income mothers.

Joint Effects of Wildfire Smoke and Extreme Heat on Hospitalizations in California, 2011-2020. [PDF]

Geohealth
Abstract Wildfire smoke and extreme heat events are worsening in California, but their combined health effects are not well understood. This study estimates joint effects of extreme heat and wildfire smoke on hospitalizations in California, 2011–2020. We used a case crossover design with time‐stratified controls and conditional logistic regression to ...

ForestScanner: A mobile application for measuring and mapping trees with LiDAR‐equipped iPhone and iPad

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, Page 1603-1609, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Ground‐based light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative means to conventional forest inventory methods. By gauging the distances to multiple points on the surrounding object surfaces, LiDAR acquires 3D point clouds from which tree sizes and spatial distributions can be rapidly estimated. However, the
