Abstract There is growing interest in using urban greening projects to support biodiversity. While there are many potential co‐benefits, the health outcomes resulting from biodiversity‐supporting activities have yet to be synthesized. We conducted a systematic review of health outcomes associated with seven biodiversity‐supporting elements, including ...

Randomized placebo-controlled trial comparing fluticasone aqueous nasal spray in mono-therapy, fluticasone plus cetirizine, fluticasone plus montelukast and cetirizine plus montelukast for seasonal allergic rhinitis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Corticosteroids are considered to be particularly effective in reducing nasal congestion and are therefore recommended as first-line treatment in allergic rhinitis patients with moderate to severe and/or persistent symptoms.

ABSTRACT Species with disjunct distributions have long puzzled evolutionary biologists and biogeographers. Long‐distance dispersal can play a pivotal role in generating intra‐specific disjunct distributions, initiating early stages of allopatric speciation and leading to eventual interspecific disjunctions.

Bronchial hyperresponsiveness in children with atopic rhinitis: a 7-year follow-up [PDF]
A high prevalence of bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) was found in atopic subjects with rhinitis. Those subjects may be at higher risk for developing bronchial asthma.

High‐throughput assessment of anemophilous pollen size and variability using imaging cytometry
Summary Pollen grain size relates to plant community structure via pollen dispersal, plant resource allocation into regenerative processes, plant phylogeny and plant genetics (ploidy), or it can be used as a decisive trait for pollen species distinction.
