Can resistive breathing injure the lung? Implications for COPD exacerbations

In obstructive lung diseases, airway inflammation leads to bronchospasm and thus resistive breathing, especially during exacerbations. This commentary discusses experimental evidence that resistive breathing per se (the mechanical stimulus) in the absence of underlying airway inflammation leads to lung injury and inflammation (mechanotransduction). The potential implications of resistive breath...

A structured interview assessed the prevalence and perceived helpfulness of 48 methods for resisting self-injurious urges. Ninety percent of participants indicated that they had made...

Mitigation of Salt Stress Toxicity in Narcissus tazetta L. by Foliar Application of Methyl Jasmonate

In the present study, the effect of foliar application of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) (0, 50, 100, and 200 µM) and salt stress (2 (non-stress), 4 and 8 dS m-1) on the improvement of salinity stress tolerance in narcissus was studied in the Research Greenhouse, Islamic Azad University of Isfahan (Khorasgan) during 2019-2020. In this research, a pot experiment was conducted, as factorial based on ran...

Narcissus: Visualising Information

It is becoming increasingly important that support is provided for users who are dealing with complex information spaces. The need is driven by the growing number of domains where there is a requirement for users to understand, navigate and manipulate large sets of computer based data; by the increasing size and complexity of this information and by the pressures to use this information efficie...
