Do High Temperatures Affect Firm Demography? Evidence From Italy

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyses the impact of high temperatures and heat stress on Italian firm demography during 2009–2022. Combining provincial‐firm‐level data with a high‐resolution multidecadal meteorological dataset, we investigate whether high temperatures—absolute and anomalous—affect firm entry and exit rates.

Non‐Invasive Estimation of Systemic Drug Exposure Using Exhaled Breath Metabolomics in Humans: A Translational Proof‐of‐Concept Study

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Accurate assessment of systemic drug exposure in humans remains challenging, as conventional approaches rely on intermittent blood sampling and laboratory‐based assays that are invasive and provide limited temporal resolution. Exhaled breath contains volatile and semi‐volatile compounds arising from drug metabolism and downstream biological processes ...

How to Optimize Healthy Volunteer Screening and Enrolment in Clinical Trials: A Qualitative and Quantitative Approach to Evaluate Processes and Healthy Volunteers' Perceptions

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Healthy volunteers (HVs) are essential for phase I trials, yet their recruitment and screening remain resource‐intensive and ethically complex. High screening failure (SF) rates highlight the need to evaluate and understand all aspects of the enrolment processes. We analyzed SF patterns in a large German HV cohort and explored participants' motivations,
