Phosphorus (P) deficiency is a major factor limiting crop productivity in many soils worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the potential of seed priming with monopotassium phosphate (200 mmol L-1) to alleviate the adverse effects of P deficiency in Chenopodium quinoa Willd. Seedli…
Diagnostic system for tebuthiuron soil ecotoxicity using morphophysiological indicators of Mucuna pruriens validated by Lactuca sativa.
This study developed an integrated diagnostic system for tebuthiuron-induced soil ecotoxicity based on morphophysiological indicators of Mucuna pruriens, using the germination index (GI) of Lactuca sativa as a sensitive ecotoxicological validation endpoint. The experiment was conducted under greenho…
Comparative Analysis of Circulating Cytokines and Adrenergic Autoantibodies in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, Postacute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2, and Healthy Controls.
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is increasingly recognized after SARS-CoV-2 infection. We compared autonomic phenotype, functional impact, and circulating immune markers in POTS, postacute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), and healthy controls. In this cross-sectional study (August 2021…
Clinical Symptoms of Jugular Venous Outflow Obstruction and Their Modification After Targeted Surgical Treatment.
Cerebral venous outflow disorders (CVD) are conditions characterized by impairment of cerebral venous drainage. Associated symptoms have been poorly defined, as no standardized diagnostic criteria exist for this class of conditions; most studies to date have attempted to report on symptoms solely ba…
What Are We Treating? The Need for Broader Provider Understanding of POTS, Its Nature, and Care.
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) as conventionally defined is a chronic condition (typically >3 months duration) incorporating reproducible symptoms of orthostatic intolerance (including dizziness/lightheadedness, and near-syncope) in the absence of orthostatic hypotension (i.e., abs…
Ethanol application enhances freezing stress tolerance in Arabidopsis and sugar beet.
Cold stress, especially freezing stress, is an important environmental factor that induces physiological damage in plants. In previous studies, we showed that ethanol application increases tolerance to high salinity, heat, high-intensity light, and drought, although the core mechanisms remain unclea…
Choroidal Melanocytic Lesion Detection Using Patch Vectors With a Foundational Vision Transformer.
Early detection of uveal melanoma is important for improving patient survival. We developed a model for automated early detection of choroidal melanocytic lesions from fundus images. Patch embeddings were created for 15 million ophthalmic images of various modalities using a self-supervised model, r…
