Lung Diffusing Capacity Relates Better to Short-Term Progression on HRCT Abnormalities Than Spirometry in Mild Asbestosis
(WILEY-LISS, 2011)
Background Pulmonary function tests (PFT), particularly spirometry and lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DL(CO)), have been considered useful methods for the detection of the progression of interstitial asbestos ...
The impact of fragmentation and density regulation on forest succession in the Atlantic rain forest
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009)
The Atlantic Rain Forest, an important biodiversity hot spot, has faced severe habitat loss since the last century which has resulted in a highly fragmented landscape with a large number of small forest patches (<100 ha). ...
Immunohistological features related to functional impairment in lymphangioleiomyomatosis
(BioMed Central, 2018)
Abstract
Background
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a low-grade neoplasm characterized by the pulmonary infiltration of smooth muscle-like cells (LAM cells) and cystic ...
Structural insights into the oligomerization and architecture of eukaryotic membrane pore-forming toxins
(Elsevier, 2011-02)
Pore-forming toxins (PFTs) are proteins that are secreted as soluble molecules and are inserted into membranes to form oligomeric transmembrane pores. In this paper, we report the crystal structure of Fragaceatoxin C (FraC), ...
A pore-forming toxin enables Serratia a nonlytic egress from host cells
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-08)
Several pathogens co-opt host intracellular compartments to survive and replicate, and they thereafter disperse progeny to prosper in a new niche. Little is known about strategies displayed by Serratia marcescens to defeat ...
Plant functional traits and phylogenetic relatedness explain variation in associations with root fungal endophytes in an extreme arid environment
(Springer, 2014-07-06)
Since root endophytes may ameliorate drought stress, understanding which plants associate with endophytes is important, especially in arid ecosystems. Here, the root endophytes were characterized of 42 plants from an arid ...
An intercomparison of bio-optical techniques for detecting dominant phytoplankton size class from satellite remote sensing
(Elsevier B.V., 2011-02-15)
Satellite remote sensing of ocean colour is the only method currently available for synoptically measuring wide-area properties of ocean ecosystems, such as phytoplankton chlorophyll biomass. Recently, a variety of bio-optical ...

Disturbance alters relationships between soil carbon pools and aboveground vegetation attributes in an anthropogenic peatland in Patagonia
(Wiley, 2022)
Anthropogenic-based disturbances may alter peatland soil-plant causal associations and their ability to sequester carbon. Likewise, it is unclear how the vegetation attributes are linked with different soil C decomposition-based ...
Expert artificial intelligence-based natural language processing characterises childhood asthma
(2020)
Introduction: The lack of effective, consistent, reproducible and efficient asthma ascertainment methods results in inconsistent asthma cohorts and study results for clinical trials or other studies. We aimed to assess ...
