[Exploring Turning Points in the Academic Lives of Health Sciences Students].

Unlabelled: This research set out to identify and describe turning points in the lives of medical, nursing, and psychology students in a school of health sciences at a private university in Argentina. Turning points refer to unexpected events and situations in people's lives where it is possible to determine a change or transformation.

Aim: to explore turning points originating in the health sciences school.

Does Regulated Deficit Irrigation Affect Pear Fruit Texture by Modifying the Stone Cells?

Regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) strategies aim to improve water usage without reducing yield. Generally, irrigation strategy effectiveness is measured as fruit yield, with little consideration of fruit quality. As water deficit and increased plant cell sclerification are often associated, this study explored the effect of RDI on pear fruit stone cells, a crucial trait affecting flesh texture.

Obstetric and Perinatal Outcomes in Pregnant Women with Lupus: Retrospective Study in a Portuguese Tertiary Center.

Objective:  Pregnancy in women with lupus poses a higher risk of complications compared with the general population. The present study aimed to determine and describe the obstetric and neonatal outcomes of pregnant women with lupus.

Materials And Methods:  We conducted an observational retrospective study of pregnant women with the diagnosis of lupus, who were selected and followed at the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Clinic of our institution between January 2013 and July 2018.

Wafer-Scale Graphene Field-Effect Transistor Biosensor Arrays with Monolithic CMOS Readout.

The reliability of analysis is becoming increasingly important as point-of-care diagnostics are transitioning from single-analyte detection toward multiplexed multianalyte detection. Multianalyte detection benefits greatly from complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) integrated sensing solutions, offering miniaturized multiplexed sensing arrays with integrated readout electronics and extremely large sensor counts. The development of CMOS back end of line integration compatible graphene field-effect transistor (GFET)-based biosensing has been rapid during the past few years, in terms of both the fabrication scale-up and functionalization toward biorecognition from real sample matrices.
