A Whale Tale: Using Blubber Biopsies to Characterize Pacific Ocean Pollutant Trends
Diesel particulate matter (DPM) is a nearly ubiquitous environmental pollutant. It is known to be inflammatory and is linked to a plethora of health effects including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and pulmonary fibrosis. New research sheds light on which components of DPM are harmful to the lung and what mechanisms they trigger [EHP 119(3):332–336; Reynolds et al.]. The authors...

متن کاملWhat cannot be measured cannot be done; risk factors for childhood tuberculosis: a case control study.
Childhood tuberculosis is one of the major causes of childhood mortality and morbidity though much neglected within our National Tuberculosis Control Program. This case control study was carried out to identify the risk factors for tuberculosis among children. Cases (n=95) and controls (n=94) were selected from Directly Observed Treatment Short Course (DOTS) centers of four upazillas of Dhaka a...

متن کاملLipid class and depth-specific thermal properties in the blubber of the short-finned pilot whale and the pygmy sperm whale.
Blubber, the specialized hypodermis of cetaceans, provides thermal insulation through the quantity and quality of lipids it contains. Quality refers to percent lipid content; however, not all lipids are the same. Certain deep-diving cetacean groups possess blubber with lipids - wax esters (WE) - that are not typically found in mammals, and the insulative quality of 'waxy' blubber is unknown. Ou...
