Sargassum Lung Syndrome: Air Flow Obstruction and Bronchial Inflammation Are Observed After Prolonged Exposure to Sargassum Gas Emissions in the Eastern Caribbean

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sargassum inundation of Caribbean and American shorelines is a growing environmental hazard. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) produced by decomposing Sargassum could be involved in airway obstruction and bronchial inflammation. The study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of exposure to H2S and NH3 gases emitted during Sargassum ...

The Usefulness of Machine Learning Models to Predict Patient‐Reported Outcome Measures in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective The treatment available for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) has remained unsatisfactory. Patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs), capturing patient‐perceived health status and well‐being, are vehicles for measuring and improving the efficacy of care.

Assessing physiological, behavioral and movement responses to Suprelorin implant delivery methods in free‐ranging eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Overabundant populations of eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus in peri‐urban areas pose ecological and social challenges. Current management strategies are often hindered by animal welfare and logistical concerns. This study aimed to assess stress responses of kangaroos to two contraceptive delivery methods.

Alternative Contract Design: Analysing the Bankability of Fungible Derivative Contracts in Energy‐Only Markets

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With the retirement of 21GW of legacy coal fleet looming, the task to replace Australia's thermal capacity with alternative firmed renewable ‘bulk energy’ solutions is non‐trivial. Indeed, calibrating necessary capital investment in new plant stock with efficient economic outcomes, vis‐à‐vis cost and reliability, represents a fundamental ...

Physiological and morphological determinants of maximal expiratory flow in chronic obstructive lung disease [PDF]

, 1996
Maximal expiratory flow in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) could be reduced by three different mechanisms; loss of lung elastic recoil, decreased airway conductance upstream of flow-limiting segments; and ...

Expiratory flow limitation and regulation of end-expiratory lung volume during exercise

, 1993
To investigate the impact of expiratory flow limitation (FL) on breathing pattern and end-expiratory lung volume (EELV), we imposed a small expiratory threshold load for a few breaths during exercise in nine volunteers (29–62 yr): six were healthy and ...

Capital taxation, income shifting and retained earnings: evidence from dividend tax reforms

Fiscal Studies, EarlyView.
AbstractIn this paper, we analyse the effects of dividend tax reforms on tax revenues, income shifting and earnings retention. We examine two significant policy changes in Israel during the 2010s. Using administrative tax records, we study a permanent increase of 5 percentage points in the dividend tax rate in 2012 and a temporary tax relief enacted in

Uncovering Biogas Outcomes: Tales of Hubris, Hope, and Failure From Southern Malawi

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to speak directly to biogas failure. Over the past two decades, immense amounts of money have been spent by African governments, private individuals, and most conspicuously, international aid agencies and donors, on countless biogas projects in every country on the continent.

Structural change in the US office market after 2019: Evidence from lease‐level data

Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how the leasing activities, contract features, and pricing of the Class A office leasing market have evolved since 2019 across five major US markets: Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Dallas, Washington, DC, and New York City. Using a granular dataset of 73,508 office leases from 2010 to 2024, we find a broad‐based contraction ...

Physiological consequences of the work of breathing and of inspiratory muscle training [PDF]

, 2009
A reduced blood lactate concentration ([lac-]B) is commonly observed during whole-body exercise following inspiratory muscle training (IMT). However, whether the inspiratory muscles are, in part, the source of these reductions remains unknown ...
