N and P limitation of fynbos plants and the nutritional status of legume habitats in the Cape Floristic Region

open access: yes, 2013
In general, terrestrial ecosystems are limited by both N and P, but, as legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen, I hypothesized that fynbos legumes would be P limited and nonlegumes would be N limited, and that the degree to which these plants respond to N and ...

Exploring variations in potential carbon and nitrogen mineralization in managed grasslands among the diversity of soils in North Carolina

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
Under steady–state conditions, potential nitrogen mineralization in soil under grasslands is closely tied to potential carbon mineralization. This study provides supporting evidence that field–specific nitrogen fertilizer recommendations could be indicated by using a simple and rapid analysis of soil–test biological activity.

Poor Diet and Oral Cavity Cancer Risk in Smoking and Non‐Smoking Men and Women: An Analysis of Three US Cohorts

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Oral cavity cancer (OCC) incidence is rising among non‐smokers and younger individuals without traditional risk factors. While carcinogenic exposures such as tobacco and alcohol are well studied, the association between unhealthy dietary patterns and OCC has been minimally explored.

Derivation and Validation of a Predictive Model for Advanced Colorectal Neoplasia Among Average‐Risk Adults in China

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Efficient pre‐colonoscopy risk stratification tools are needed, especially in China. Using multicenter colorectal cancer screening data from Shandong Province, the authors developed and validated a risk prediction model for advanced colorectal neoplasia in asymptomatic individuals using sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, and medical ...

A 2 year retrospective study of vegan patients and their pregnancy outcomes in a tertiary level Irish hospital

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Recent previous studies have revealed outcomes of higher risk of low birth weight, small for gestational age, and pre‐eclampsia for vegan pregnant women compared to other diets. This review examined if patients with vegan diet in our tertiary hospital had similar outcomes.
