Pro-inflammatory effects of inhaled Great Salt Lake dust particles.

Background: Climate change and human activities have caused the drying of marine environments around the world. An example is the Great Salt Lake in Utah, USA which is at a near record low water level. Adverse health effects have been associated with exposure to windblown dust originating from dried lakebed sediments, but mechanistic studies evaluating the health effects of these dusts are limited.

In Planta Ectopic Expression of Two Sub-types of Tomato Cellulose Synthase-like M (CslM) Genes Affects Cell Wall Integrity and Supports a Role in Arabinogalactan and/or Rhamnogalacturonan-I Biosynthesis.

Diversification of the cellulose synthase superfamily of glycosyltransferases has provided plants with the ability to synthesise varied cell wall polysaccharides such as xyloglucan, mannans and the mixed-linkage glucans of cereals. Surprisingly, some but not all members of the cellulose synthase-like M (CslM) gene family have recently been shown to be involved in the glycosylation of the aglycone core of a range of triterpenoid saponins. However, no cell wall activity has yet been attributed to any of the CslM gene family members.

Outcomes of the modern management approach for locally advanced (T-T) laryngeal cancer: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Our centre (Freeman Hospital, Newcatle Upon Tyne NHS Trust) has favoured primary surgery over chemoradiotherapy for specific advanced laryngeal cancer patients (e.g. large-volume tumours, airway compromise, significant dysphagia, T disease).

Comparison of Olympic and Safety Squat Bar Barbells on Force, Velocity, and Rating of Perceived Exertion During Acute High-Intensity Back Squats in Recreationally Trained Men.

This study examined using a traditional Olympic (OL) or safety squat bar (SSB) barbell on force, velocity, and perceived exertion during an acute session of high-intensity back squats in adults. Twelve recreationally trained men (23.0±2.

Pro-Inflammatory Effects of Inhaled Great Salt Lake Dust Particles.

Background: Climatological shifts and human activities have decimated lakes worldwide. Water in the Great Salt Lake, Utah, USA is at near record lows which has increased risks for exposure to windblown dust from dried lakebed sediments. Formal studies evaluating the health effects of inhaled Great Salt Lake dust (GSLD) have not been performed despite the belief that the dust is harmful.
