A NUS study found that households respond to air pollution by increasing electricity consumption, leading to higher carbon emissions. Cleaner urban air can reduce energy demand and mitigate carbon emissions. The study highlights the need for policymakers to consider the impact of air quality on energy demand in developing countries.
New research shows that nitrate improves diaphragm function by increasing power, which could help elderly individuals clear lungs more effectively. This finding is significant, especially in the context of COVID-19, as the diaphragm plays a crucial role in breathing and coughing.
A new study by Flinders University researchers found that antibiotic use is directly associated with worse survival rates in patients with urothelial carcinoma treated with atezolizumab.
