Lung Clearance Index: A Sensitive Measure of Airway Function Improvement in Adolescents After Weight Loss from Bariatric Surgery.
Respir Med
January 2025
Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel; Clalit Health Services, Dan Petah Tikva District, Petah Tikva, Israel. Electronic address:
Background: Morbid obesity in adolescents impacts respiratory function, often leading to reduced lung volume and obstructive ventilatory defects. However, standard spirometric values frequently remain within normal ranges.
Objectives: We hypothesized that Lung Clearance Index (LCI) is a more sensitive marker for detecting airway dysfunction in adolescents with morbid obesity than conventional lung function tests.
Low maternal iodine intake and subsequent risk of pharmacologically treated hypertension: A population-based prospective cohort study.
Clin Nutr
January 2025
Department of Food Safety, Centre of Sustainable Diets, Norwegian Institute of Public Health, P.O. Box 222, NO-0213 Oslo, Norway. Electronic address:
Background & Aims: Iodine deficiency is linked to multiple adverse health outcomes, but there is scarce knowledge regarding iodine intake and development of chronic hypertension. We aimed to investigate the prospective association between habitual dietary iodine intake and pharmacologically treated hypertension in mothers up to 10 years after delivery.
Methods: The present study is based on data from an ongoing pregnancy cohort and includes 58,629 women without thyroid dysfunction and hypertension at baseline.
Harmful effects of the semiconductor copper tungstate (CuWO) on multiple photosynthetic parameters of the green microalga Raphidocelis subcapitata.
Aquat Toxicol
January 2025
Center for the Development of Functional Materials (CDMF), Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar), Rodovia Washington Luís, Km 235 13565-905, São Carlos, SP, Brazil.
The semiconductor copper tungstate (CuWO) may end up in aquatic ecosystems since it has the potential for water decontamination. The toxic effects of CuWO are totally unknown for eukaryotic organisms. In view of this, we aimed to evaluate the toxicity of CuWO particles (size of 161.

Cult Health Sex
January 2025
Independent Researcher, The Hague, Netherlands.
Migrants with refugee backgrounds in the Netherlands face significant reproductive health challenges, including higher rates of unintended pregnancies and limited access to contraception. This study explores how post-migration realities affect the reproductive agency of refugees from Afghanistan, Somalia, Eritrea and Syria. Utilising a participatory approach, eight peer researchers from these communities conducted eight focus-group discussions and 118 in-depth interviews, involving four migrant grassroots organisations and two Dutch non-governmental organisations.

January 2025
SA MRC Antibody Immunity Research Unit, School of Pathology, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Parktown, Johannesburg, South Africa.
The Antibody Mediated Prevention (AMP) trials showed that passively infused VRC01, a broadly neutralizing antibody (bNAb) targeting the CD4 binding site (CD4bs) on the HIV-1 envelope protein (Env), protected against neutralization-sensitive viruses. We identified six individuals from the VRC01 treatment arm with multi-lineage breakthrough HIV-1 infections from HVTN703, where one variant was sensitive to VRC01 (IC < 25 ug/mL) but another was resistant. By comparing Env sequences of resistant and sensitive clones from each participant, we identified sites predicted to affect VRC01 neutralization and assessed the effect of their reversion in the VRC01-resistant clone on neutralization sensitivity.
