Background: The ethnicity is significantly under-reported and this may limit the applicability of current impulse oscillometry (IOS) equations to heterogeneous patient populations. Establishing predictive equations for the IOS in the Thai adult population is still required. Therefore, this study aimed to establish reference equations for the IOS in the Thai adult population.
Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study of IOS parameters in healthy adults aged greater than 20 years old with normal spirometry and who had no chronic respiratory diseases. Pre-bronchodilator (BD) IOS was performed in all subjects. Reference equations were calculated separately for men and women using multivariable linear regression analysis.
Results: A total of 127 subjects (87 men and 40 women) with a mean age of 48.7±17.2 (range, 22-92) years were included. The resistance at 5 Hz (R5), resistance at 20 Hz (R20), and area under reactance curve between 5 Hz and resonant frequency (AX) were significantly higher in women compared to men. The reference equations of the IOS parameters were established for men and women. Age, height, and bodyweight were shown to be the influential predictor as they contributed to the most of IOS indices except for the R5-R20 in men equations. Bodyweight was shown to be the influential predictor as it contributed to the most IOS indices except for the X5 in women's equations.
Conclusions: We provided the reference equations for the IOS indices in Thai adults. IOS indices including R5, R20, and AX were significantly higher in women compared to men.

The effect of responsible leadership on organizational citizenship behavior: double mediation of gratitude and organizational identification.
BMC Psychol
January 2025
Faculty of Business and Finance, Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman, Kampar, Perak, 31900, Malaysia.
Background: Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) is a non-compulsory but beneficial behavior for effective organizational operation. OCB can be largely determined by the type of leadership style, among which responsible leadership has been attracting considerable attention in the organizational context nowadays. The objective of this study was to examine the parallel mediating effect of gratitude and organizational identification between responsible leadership and OCB among the academic staff in China.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of different SARS-CoV-2 inactivation methods on the blood concentration of colistin sulfate.
Methods: A colistin sulfate reference substance, a quality control plasma sample, and a clinically measured sample were transferred and heated in a 56 °C water batch for 30 min or irradiated under an ultraviolet (UV) lamp for 60 min to examine the stability of the reference solution and quality control plasma sample. Statistical analysis was conducted for the concentration of the clinically measured sample before and after inactivation with the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) method, the Passing-Bablok regression, and the Bland-Altman analysis.
Analysis of the interaction mechanism between straw soil rotary tillage blade during rotary tillage process.
Sci Rep
January 2025
College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Shihezi University, Shihezi, 832003, China.
In response to the rotary ploughing equipment in the stubble land to implement protective operations, the stubble is large in number and strong in toughness, not easy to crush, resulting in rotary ploughing equipment to produce entanglement and increased resistance to rotary ploughing and other issues. In this study, researchers designed a bionic rotary tillage blade (B-RTB) based on the bionic structural equations of the Marmota claw. A straw-soil complex shear performance test was conducted to investigate the effect of straw on soil shear strength.

The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a biological control technique based on mass-rearing, radiation-based sterilization that can induce fitness costs, and releases of the pest species targeted for population control. Sterile matings, between females and sterilized males, can reduce the overall population growth rate and cause a fall in population density. However, a proportion of irradiated males may escape sterilization, resulting in what is called residual fertility.

Article Synopsis
- Cognitive reserve (CR) has a significant impact on the age of symptom onset (AAO) and decline rate in Alzheimer's disease, particularly during asymptomatic phases in individuals with Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer's Disease (DIAD).
- The study utilized data from the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network (DIAN) to analyze cognitive performance, breaking it down into demographic, biomarker, and reserve components.
- Results showed that higher cognitive reserve (CogR) is associated with better retention of asymptomatic status, suggesting that enhancing cognitive reserve may delay symptom onset and cognitive decline.
