We demonstrated that each type of fuel (AF, CF, AFw) combusted in a household furnace is a significant source of air pollutants, especially fine PM2.

Perhaps surprisingly, much of the research was conducted using simple and efficient yeast models. In this manuscript, we describe how yeast, eukaryotic microorganisms, have been used to research this global challenge, focusing on the therapeutic potential of the studies discussed herein.

- A clinical study assessed the effectiveness of 3D CT-DCG-assisted and endoscopically guided coronary catheter balloon dacryoplasty (CC-BDCP) for adults with focal stenosis of the nasolacrimal duct (NLD), involving 25 patients in total.
- Out of the 25 patients, 21 underwent the CC-BDCP procedure, achieving a significant improvement in epiphora intensity and functional outcomes postoperatively, with overall scores significantly decreased from preoperative values.
- The overall success rate of the procedure was 77%, with 90% success in patients deemed "easy" to treat and 64% in those classified as "difficult," indicating varying outcomes based on procedural difficulty.
(1) Background: FABMs (fertility awareness-based methods) are methods that rely on the observation of clinical signs related to fertility found in women, the so-called fertility bioindicators. They can be a valuable tool for diagnosing monthly cycle disorders and infertility, for example, among patients with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). Until now, it has been difficult for women with PCOS to use FABM, due to the difficulty of describing fertility bioindicators and their disorders due to the biology of the syndrome.
