TL;DR: Traffic-related air pollution is associated with incident type 2 diabetes among elderly women, and C3c was associated with PM pollution at baseline and was a strong independent predictor of incident diabetes.
Abstract: BackgroundCross-sectional and ecological studies indicate that air pollution may be a risk factor for type 2 diabetes, but prospective data are lacking.ObjectiveWe examined the association between ...

TL;DR: In patients having surgery, intraoperative high driving pressure and changes in the level of PEEP that result in an increase of driving pressure are associated with more postoperative pulmonary complications, and a randomised controlled trial comparing ventilation based on driving pressure with usual care is needed to confirm these findings.

TL;DR: The data show that while the AS group scored lower on the measures of cognitive empathy and theory of mind, they were no different from controls on one affective empathy scale of the IRI (empathic concern), and scored higher than controls on the other (personal distress).
Abstract: A deficit in empathy has consistently been cited as a central characteristic of Asperger syndrome (AS), but previous research on adults has predominantly focused on cognitive empathy, effectively ignoring the role of affective empathy. We administered the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI), a multi-dimensional measure of empathy, and the Strange Stories test to 21 adults with AS and 21 matched controls. Our data show that while the AS group scored lower on the measures of cognitive empathy and theory of mind, they were no different from controls on one affective empathy scale of the IRI (empathic concern), and scored higher than controls on the other (personal distress). Therefore, we propose that the issue of empathy in AS should be revisited.

TL;DR: Exposure to air pollution may result in reduced lung function in schoolchildren, and estimated levels of NO2, NOx, PM2.5 at the current address, but not at the birth address, were associated with small decreases in lung function.
Abstract: Background: There is evidence for adverse effects of outdoor air pollution on lung function of children. Quantitative summaries of the effects of air pollution on lung function, however, are lackin...

TL;DR: This work produces asymmetric microswimmers by soft lithography and studies their circular motion on a substrate and near channel boundaries in full agreement with a theory of Brownian dynamics for asymmetric self-propelled particles.
Abstract: Micron-sized self-propelled (active) particles can be considered as model systems for characterizing more complex biological organisms like swimming bacteria or motile cells. We produce asymmetric microswimmers by soft lithography and study their circular motion on a substrate and near channel boundaries. Our experimental observations are in full agreement with a theory of Brownian dynamics for asymmetric self-propelled particles, which couples their translational and orientational motion.
