Acceptability, Feasibility, and Effectiveness of Concurrent High-Definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Cue Exposure in Cannabis Use Disorder: A Pilot Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objectives: We studied the acceptability, feasibility, tolerability, and preliminary effectiveness of combined cue exposure and anodal high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) on the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on cannabis craving in cannabis use disorder (CUD).

Methods: We randomly assigned 48 participants equally in 4 groups: A, tDCS and cannabis cue exposure; B, tDCS and neutral image; C, sham tDCS and cue exposure; and D, sham tDCS and neutral image. The images were validated by Delphi consensus.

Genome-wide association studies of milk composition traits in indicine Badri cattle using ddRAD sequencing approach.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) offer potential for discovering genomic regions that can be exploited to increase milk production. However, available GWAS and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) datasets are heavily skewed towards taurine breeds, which restricts their utility for genomic research in indicine cattle breeds. This study conducts a GWAS on the Badri breed of Indicine cattle to estimate variance components and identify significant variants associated with milk composition traits, utilizing double digest restriction-site associated DNA (ddRAD) sequencing data.

Regional disparities and correlates of alcohol use during pregnancy in India: Insights from the National Family Health Survey-5.

Introduction: Alcohol use during pregnancy is a significant public health concern due to its adverse outcomes for the mother and developing fetus. This study aims to estimate the national and state-wise prevalence of alcohol use during pregnancy in India and examine associated social, demographic and health-related correlates using data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) conducted in 2019-2020.

Methods: Data from NFHS-5, a large-scale, nationally representative survey, were analysed.

Genome-wide identification, classification, and expression profiling of the aldehyde dehydrogenase gene family in pepper.

Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is one of the most significant vegetable crops worldwide which is known for its pungency and nutritional value. The aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) superfamily encompasses enzymes critical for the detoxification of toxic aldehydes into non-toxic carboxylic acids.
