Article Synopsis
- A synthetic glycolate metabolic pathway introduced in potatoes resulted in increased tuber biomass over two growing seasons without compromising tuber quality.
- Transformed potato plants showed significantly enhanced daily carbon assimilation and photosynthetic capacity, especially after early season heatwaves, demonstrating resilience against heat stress.
- The study suggests that this modified pathway could be a viable strategy for improving potato yields amid the challenges posed by increased heatwave events due to global warming.
Background: Accurate assessment of intravascular volume is critical for precise fluid prescription. In people, bedside or point of care ultrasound is used to measure the inferior vena cava, with or without paired aortic measurement, to estimate intravascular volume.
Objective: To determine if point of care ultrasound measurement of the caudal vena cava (CVC) diameter or the CVC diameter to the abdominal aorta (Ao) diameter (CVC:Ao) at the paralumbar view are associated with changes in intravascular volume, mean arterial pressure (MAP), or cardiac output in normovolemic and hypovolemic dogs.
Article Synopsis
- - Intimate partner violence (IPV) is linked to serious mental and physical health issues, but many physicians lack the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively support patients experiencing IPV in their care.
- - Researchers conducted unstructured interviews with 18 experts in Ontario to understand the desired knowledge, skills, and behaviors physicians should have regarding IPV, focusing on the concept of "attending to power" in medical practice.
- - Stakeholders emphasized the importance of recognizing and addressing power dynamics in various relationships related to IPV, and suggested that enhancing physicians' understanding of these dynamics can improve care for affected individuals and facilitate better collaboration with other support services.
Article Synopsis
- * Traditional treatment methods like therapeutic hypothermia are often ineffective in these regions due to resource limitations.
- * Intranasal therapies offer a promising alternative due to their low cost and ease of administration, but further research and human clinical trials are needed to develop these treatments for HIE.
Single-walled zeolite nanotubes (ZNT) were recently synthesized in a narrow compositional window. ZNT structural features-thin zeolitic walls and large mesopores-can allow for easy access of small molecules to zeolite micropores, but they also impart processing limitations for these materials, such as challenges with conventional aqueous ion-exchange conditions. Conventional solid- and liquid-phase ion exchange of calcined NaOH-derived ZNT (NaH-ZNT) results in structural degradation to either 2D sheet-like phases, 3D nanocrystals, or amorphous phases, motivating different direct synthesis routes and unconventional ion-exchange procedures of uncalcined ZNT precursors.
