Objectives
The objective of this study was to characterize the associations of sensory impairments, including olfaction (OI), vision (VI), hearing (HI), and touch (TI), with telomere length (TL) in a group of community‐dwelling older adults who participated in the Health ABC study.
Methods
Across 1603 participants, OI was classified with the Brief Smell Identification Test (<11), HI with pure‐tone...
Background
As a promising technology, photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) plays a critical role in diagnosis and assessment of dermatological conditions by providing subtle vascular networks non‐invasively. However, the established PAMs are insufficient for clinical dermatology when faced with complex structures of human skin instead of animal models owing to high melanin content and superimposed vasculature...
Low temperature (LT) and high humidity (HH) are important environmental factors in greenhouses and plastic tunnels during the cold season, as they hamper plant growth and development.
Here, we studied the effect of LT (day/night: 9/5 °C, 25/18 °C as control) and HH (95%, 80% as control) on young cucumber plants at the 2, 4 or 6 leaf stages.
LT+HH stress resulted in a decline in shoot, root and...
