Associations between ultra-processed foods intake and preserved ratio impaired spirometry in U.S. adults by Weiliang Kong

“…Subgroup analysis revealed increased susceptibility primarily among individuals with occupational exposure. Additionally, sensitivity analysis indicated that a higher percentage of total daily intake from UPFs (%Grams) intake was significantly associated with an increased risk of PRISm (OR 1.86, 95% CI: 1.07–3.25, p = 0.03).ConclusionHigher intake of UPFs is linked to an increased risk of PRISm and negatively affects lung function, particularly in individuals with occupational exposure.…”

OSPREI: A Coupled Approach to Modeling CME‐Driven Space Weather With Automatically Generated, User‐Friendly Outputs by C. Kay, M. L. Mays, Y. M. Collado‐Vega

“…Current CME‐related space weather predictions rely on information reconstructed from coronagraphs, sometimes from only a single viewpoint, to drive a simple interplanetary propagation model, which only gives the arrival time or limited additional information. We present the coupling of three established models into OSPREI (Open Solar Physics Rapid Ensemble Information), a new tool that describes Sun‐to‐Earth CME behavior, including the location, orientation, size, shape, speed, arrival time, and internal thermal and magnetic properties, on the timescale needed for forecasts. …”
