Here, we show that in germ - free (GF) mice, invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells accumulate in the colonic lamina propria and lung, resulting in increased morbidity in models of IBD and allergic asthma as compared with that of specific pathogen - free mice. (science.sciencemag.org)
Pressure - related skin injuries, a nurse - sensitive quality indicator in hospitals, are associated with increased morbidity and higher costs of care. (sciencedaily.com)
The environmental calculation comprises the net benefits of the change in carbon emissions and the costs of increased morbidity and premature mortality from sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions. (rff.org)
