Associations of cannabis use, tobacco use and co‐use with brain volume: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Cannabis is the most widely used illicit drug worldwide and is often co‐used with tobacco, the leading cause of preventable death. Although cannabis and tobacco have distinct neurobiological actions, their associations with brain volumes are unclear.

The political consequences of Africa's mobile revolution

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract What are the political consequences of rising domestic connectivity? I study this question in Sub‐Saharan Africa, asking how mobile technology shapes public opinion in geographically isolated communities. For remote rural populations, mobile devices increase contact with physically distant social networks, through regular phone calls with ...

Phase Diagram of Cold Polarized Fermi Gas in Two Dimensions

, 2008
The superfluid phase diagrams of a two-dimensional cold polarized Fermi gas in the BCS-BEC crossover are systematically and analytically investigated. In the BCS-Leggett mean field theory, the transition from unpolarized superfluid phase to normal phase ...

Patient‐Perceived Benefits of Named‐Patient Product Sublingual Immunotherapy in Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma: Primary Results From the ERAPP Real‐World Cohort Study

Allergy, EarlyView.
Evaluation en vie Réelle de l'Allergo‐Prescription en Pratique (ERAPP) is a large, prospective, real‐world cohort of children and adults initiating named‐patient product sublingual immunotherapy (NPP‐SLIT) in France. More than 80% of patients reported a clinically meaningful, expectation‐anchored benefit (Patient Benefit Index ≥ 1) at 12–15 months. The

Towards an ‘absolute’ timing of biostratigraphic and environmental phases from the Saalian late glacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial in central Europe—Insights from a lacustrine succession in Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.
