Ozone is the most damaging air pollutant to crops, currently reducing Midwest US maize production by up to 10%, yet there has been very little effort to adapt germplasm for ozone tolerance. Ozone enters plants through stomata, reacts to form reactive oxygen species in the apoplast and ultimately decreases photosynthetic C gain. In this study, 10 diverse inbred parents were crossed in a half-diallel design to create 45 F hybrids, which were tested for ozone response in the field using free air concentration enrichment (FACE).

Methods: Retrospective review of patients with vocal fold polyp undergoing surgery and/or VT in a tertiary medical center. The demographic data, phoniatric history, videolaryngostroboscopic findings, polyp characteristics, VHI-10 and GRB scores, and voice analysis data were recorded before and after the treatment.
Objectives: Bilateral vocal fold abductor paralysis (BVFAP) both deteriorates quality of life and may cause life-threatening respiratory problems. The aim of this study was to reduce respiratory symptoms in BVFAP patients using cricothyroid (CT) botulinum toxin (BTX) injection.
Methods: Before and 2 weeks and 4 months after bilateral BTX injection into the CT muscles under electromyography; alterations in respiratory, acoustic, aerodynamic and quality of life parameters were evaluated in BVFAP patients with respiratory distress.
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated air kinetics and esophageal pressures in 23 male patients who underwent laryngectomy, assessing their ability to speak using the Wepman scale.
- - No significant differences were found in upper (UES) and lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressures between good and poor speakers; however, effective air retention techniques were observed in good speakers.
- - The findings highlight the importance of air suction and storage within the esophagus for effective speech, with MII technology being a valuable tool for understanding and training in these speech mechanics.
Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping has been used to dissect the genetic architecture of complex traits and predict phenotypes for marker-assisted selection. Many QTL mapping studies in plants have been limited to one biparental family population. Joint analysis of multiple biparental families offers an alternative approach to QTL mapping with a wider scope of inference.
