Interdisciplinary Lessons Learned While Researching Fake News.

The misleading and propagandistic tendencies in American news reporting have been a part of public discussion from its earliest days as a republic (Innis, 2007; Sheppard, 2007). "Fake news" is hardly new (McKernon, 1925), and the term has been applied to a variety of distinct phenomenon ranging from satire to news, which one may find disagreeable (Jankowski, 2018; Tandoc et al., 2018).

Levosalbutamol.

Levosalbutamol is a chirally pure beta(2)-adrenoceptor agonist developed from racemic salbutamol. The therapeutically inactive (S)-enantiomer in racemic salbutamol may be associated with increased airway hyperreactivity in patients with asthma. Levosalbutamol aims to provide equivalent control of symptoms to salbutamol but without this potential unfavourable effect.

Spotlight on estradiol-intranasal in the management of menopause.

Estradiol-intranasal is a nasal spray formulation containing an aqueous solution of 17beta-estradiol that has a unique pulse-like pharmacokinetic profile. In a well designed, placebo-controlled trial estradiol-intranasal 200 to 400 microg/day significantly reduced the incidence and severity of climacteric symptoms in women with moderate to severe menopausal symptoms after 4 and 12 weeks' treatment. The efficacy of estradiol-intranasal 300 microg/day was similar to that of oral estradiol 2 mg/day in this and another double-blind placebo-controlled trial.

The effect of the dietary supplement, Chitosan, on body weight: a randomised controlled trial in 250 overweight and obese adults.

Context: Chitosan, a deacetylated chitin, is a widely available dietary supplement purported to decrease body weight and serum lipids through gastrointestinal fat binding. Although evaluated in a number of trials, its efficacy remains in dispute.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of chitosan for weight loss in overweight and obese adults.

Effects of pre-exposure to ultraviolet-B radiation on responses of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum cv. New Yorker) to ozone in ambient and elevated carbon dioxide.

Patterns of environmental change in the biosphere include concurrent and sequential combinations of increasing ultraviolet (UV-B) and ozone (O(3)) at increasing carbon dioxide (CO(2)) levels; long-term changes are resulting mainly from stratospheric O(3) depletion, greater tropospheric O(3) photochemical synthesis, and increasing CO(2) emissions. Effects of selected combinations were evaluated in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum cv. New Yorker) seedlings using sequential exposures to enhanced UV-B radiation and O(3) in differential CO(2) concentrations.
