ABSTRACT Background Long‐acting muscarinic antagonists/long‐acting beta adrenoreceptor agonists lead to lung deflation and improved microvascular perfusion in hyperinflated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but with an unclear time course. Purpose To investigate the effect of inhalation of tiotropium/olodaterol (TIO/OLO) on MRI measures of ...

Climatology of Tropical Cyclones Approaching Tanzania and Their Impacts on Rainfall in East Africa
Tropical cyclones (TCs) that approach Tanzania bring heavy rainfall over northern Mozambique, Tanzania, and south‐central Kenya, but the occurrence of these TCs reduces precipitation over southern African countries. Easterly steering winds and the Mascarene High are key features directing TCs westward.

ABSTRACT Purpose To develop a robust deep learning framework for noncontrast‐enhanced functional lung MRI, overcoming the limitations of spectral decomposition in the presence of physiological nonstationarity. Methods We introduce VQ‐Wave (Ventilation/Q‐perfusion Waveform‐based Assessment of Variable Evolutions), a physics‐driven spatiotemporal ...

Humidity‐Enhanced Chemoresistive Sensor Performance in a p‐Type Spinel Metal Oxide
Humidity reduces the performance of most chemoresistive metal–oxide gas sensing. Here, we demonstrate humidity‐enhanced acetone sensing with ZnMn2O4 by utilizing surface hydroxyl groups. Combining in situ DRIFT spectroscopy and isotope labeling, this work reveals that hydroxyls actively promote analyte oxidation, offering a new strategy to improve ...

Abstract Permafrost freeze‐thaw transitions mark the critical zone between frozen stable and thawed unstable permafrost, affecting the hydrogeological functioning by activating groundwater flows, and decreasing the stability for infrastructure. There are still uncertainties in the transitional zone regarding liquid porewater content and thermal ...

Physiological and behavioural effects of continuous remifentanil‐xylazine administration in donkeys
Abstract Background Remifentanil and xylazine are used as continuous infusions to facilitate standing surgery in horses. Their use for this purpose has not been reported in donkeys. Objectives To evaluate the behavioural, sedative, and cardiorespiratory effects of continuous intravenous infusion of remifentanil and xylazine in donkeys. Study Design Non‐

A sustainable aqueous‐ethanolic maceration process, sequentially optimized using Taguchi and Box‐Behnken designs, enabled efficient mangiferin recovery from M. indica leaves. The optimized extract exhibited high antioxidant activity and a favorable Analytical GREEnness score, demonstrating its potential as a scalable and environmentally responsible ...

ABSTRACT Almost all patients with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) develop respiratory dysfunction of varying severity during disease progression. While respiratory disease in MPS has traditionally been attributed to upper airway obstruction caused by glycosaminoglycan (GAG) accumulation in the trachea and bronchi, involvement of the intrapulmonary ...
