Computational fluid dynamics as surgical planning tool: a pilot study on middle turbinate resection. [PDF]

, 2014
Controversies exist regarding the resection or preservation of the middle turbinate (MT) during functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Any MT resection will perturb nasal airflow and may affect the mucociliary dynamics of the osteomeatal complex.

Interdisciplinary approaches to enhance sensory properties and consumer acceptance in pulse crops

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Enhancing the flavor profile of pulse crops such as chickpea, dry pea, and lentil is essential for increasing human acceptance of plant‐based diets. Despite their nutritional value, undesirable sensory attributes of pulses, including off‐flavors and bitterness, reduce consumer acceptance.

Detection of prion seeding activity in the olfactory mucosa of patients with Fatal Familial Insomnia

Scientific Reports, 2017
Fatal Familial Insomnia (FFI) is a genetic prion disease caused by a point mutation in the prion protein gene (PRNP) characterized by prominent thalamic atrophy, diffuse astrogliosis and moderate deposition of PrPSc in the brain. Here, for the first time,

The effects of human volatiles produced by skin microbiota on Forcipomyia (Lasiohelea) taiwana host preference

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Human skin volatiles influence midge behavior, with certain compounds acting as strong attractants or repellents. These odor differences are largely regulated by skin microbiota, offering insight into host preference mechanisms and potential for improved vector control. Abstract BACKGROUND Midges are widely distributed globally.
