Understanding processes driving air-sea gas transfer and being able to model both its mean and variability are critical for studies of climate and carbon cycle. The air-sea gas transfer velocity ( ) is almost universally parameterized as a function of wind speed in large scale models-an oversimplification that buries the mechanisms controlling and neglects much natural variability. Sea state has long been speculated to affect gas transfer, but consistent relationships from in situ observations have been elusive.

Distinction from sarcomatoid mesothelioma, which has a range of morphologic patterns, can be difficult, but accurate diagnosis matters. This article provides practical guidance for the diagnosis of pleural spindle cell neoplasms, focusing on primary lesions.

Methods: Audiovestibular handicap was assessed using the Hearing Handicap Inventory, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory and Dizziness Handicap Inventory. Patients completed questionnaires at presentation and at least one year following treatment with microsurgery, stereotactic radiosurgery or observation.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the prevalence of PD-L1 expression in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) across several Australian centers using retrospective data from 6690 patients.
- A majority of tests were conducted using the SP263 antibody, with findings showing that 30% of the samples had a PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) of 50% or higher.
- The results indicated that female patients and those with higher-stage NSCLC had marginally higher PD-L1 expression rates, while there were no significant differences in PD-L1 scoring across age groups or between primary and metastatic samples.
