PhenoRob-P: An autonomous robotic system for high-throughput phenotyping of potted plants.
High-throughput phenotyping is essential for resolving genotype-by-environment interactions and accelerating crop breeding. In greenhouse potted-plant systems, narrow aisles, global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-denied operation, variable pot layouts, and plant-level data traceability constrain…
Qualifying and quantifying analysis of biodegradable biocomposite pots to unravel structural insights for sustainable agricultural applications.
This study investigates the chemical composition, structural evolution, and agronomic performance of biodegradable cultivating pots fabricated from sugarcane bagasse reinforced with natural lignocellulosic fillers. Alkaline pretreatment using sodium hydroxide enhanced fiber-matrix interfacial bondin…
Neonatal vitamin D levels and autoimmune disorders: a Danish population-based cohort study.
To examine the associations of neonatal 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and vitamin D-binding protein (DBP), and their corresponding genetic predictors, with the risk of nine autoimmune disorders. We conducted a population-based cohort study of a random sample of individuals born in Denmark between 19…
Ivabradine in the Treatment of POTS Before and After COVID-19 Pandemic: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a debilitating autonomic disorder characterized by excessive orthostatic tachycardia and significant functional impairment. Conventional therapies, including beta-blockers, often provide incomplete relief or are poorly tolerated. Ivabradine, a sele…
Post-COVID paediatric dysautonomia: never the heart, always the brain-myth or maxim?
Paediatric dysautonomia has become increasingly recognised in children and adolescents, particularly in the post-COVID era. Affected patients commonly present with dizziness, palpitations, exercise intolerance, fatigue, and syncope, although reported prevalence varies widely because of evolving defi…
Clay pots for reducing fluoride concentration in drinking water.
Background and objectives Fluoride contamination of drinking water is a major public health challenge in India, leading to dental and skeletal fluorosis. Safe, affordable household interventions are needed to reduce exposure. This pilot study evaluated the effectiveness of locally available clay pot…
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is associated with autonomic dysregulation, but ambulatory markers that capture autonomic phenotype remain incompletely defined. To compare Holter-derived heart rate variability (HRV) metrics between adolescents with POTS and healthy controls and…
How does postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) affect pediatric patients?
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a disorder characterized by a sudden onset of orthostatic intolerance upon standing, which may be relieved when lying down. The most common complications associated with POTS are trauma or injury from falling or fainting. Pediatric patients with PO…
