Article Synopsis
- Transmission spectroscopy has been an essential method for studying exoplanet atmospheres, but recent studies question the assumption that the atmosphere is uniform, particularly for heated gas giants like WASP-39 b.
- Using the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers detected differences in the morning and evening transmission spectra of WASP-39 b, finding that the evening spectra had significantly larger transit depths compared to the morning ones.
- The findings suggest that the evening terminator is hotter and possibly clearer than the morning terminator, leading to implications about atmospheric circulation and cloud formation on the exoplanet.
Background: Postoperative ileus is a common cause of increased morbidity and cost after operative intervention. The aim of this study was to assess how fluid type, volume, and timing may affect incidence of postoperative ileus.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed on patients undergoing operative intervention for rectal cancer from 2008 to 2015 at a single institution.
Dynamic standing balance is essential to perform functional activities and is included in the treatment of many lower extremity injuries. Physiotherapists utilize many methods to restore standing balance including stability exercises, functional retraining, and manual therapy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a rearfoot distraction manipulation on dynamic standing balance.

A secondary aim was to determine whether C-HCl significantly increased the risk of hypoglycemia.
Methods: A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study employing continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with ambulatory glucose profile (AGP) analysis was undertaken.
