This study concerns the gross histological effects of scalpel, electric knife, and carbon dioxide laser incisions on skin and uterine tissue in dogs. Tissue studies comparing the carbon dioxide laser with the scalpel and electric knife have frequented the literature. However, a gross and histological comparison specifically involving uterine tissue is not presently known to have been reported. The evaluation on this series of animals considers both the skin and the uterus in an abdominal approach to evaluate the carbon dioxide laser for potential intrauterine surgery. Tissue sampling of both skin and uterus at 2, 6, and 8 weeks postoperatively were histologically examined to evaluate healing rates and degree of scar formation.

Agroforestry systems are known to enhance soil health and climate resilience, but their impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in rubber-based agroforestry systems across diverse configurations is not fully understood. Here, six representative rubber-based agroforestry systems (encompassing rubber trees intercropped with arboreal, shrub, and herbaceous species) were selected based on a preliminary investigation, including Hevea brasiliensis intercropping with Alpinia oxyphylla (AOM), Alpinia katsumadai (AKH), Coffea arabica (CAA), Theobroma cacao (TCA), Cinnamomum cassia (CCA), and Pandanus amaryllifolius (PAR), and a rubber monoculture as control (RM). Soil physicochemical properties, enzyme activities, and GHG emission characteristics were determined at 0-20 cm soil depth.

Background: Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) is an effective intervention for restoring adequate circulatory perfusion after cardiac arrest. Ensuring high-quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) before initiating Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is critical to mitigate tissue hypoxia and ischemia. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide (ETCO) Goal-Directed CPR (GDCPR) on neurological function before ECMO using a retrospective case-control analysis.

Background: Air pollution has been linked to respiratory diseases, while the effects of greenness remain inconclusive.

Objective: We investigated the associations between exposure to particulate matter (PM and PM), black carbon (BC), nitrogen dioxide (NO), ozone (O), and greenness (normalized difference vegetation index, NDVI) with respiratory emergency room visits and hospitalizations across seven Northern European centers in the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS) study.

Methods: We used modified mixed-effects Poisson regression to analyze associations of exposure in 1990, 2000 and mean exposure 1990-2000 with respiratory outcomes recorded duing ECRHS phases II and III.
