Article Synopsis
- Understanding plant growth is crucial, especially with restrictions like COVID-19 hindering field studies, making modeling a valuable tool for predicting plant performance in limited conditions.
- The study focused on rubber plants grown in two types of acidic soils treated with different magnesium sources, assessing their growth through metrics like height, stem diameter, and biomass, using specific mathematical models to analyze growth rates.
- Results indicated that magnesium-rich synthetic gypsum (MRSG) significantly enhanced rubber seedling growth compared to other treatments, especially in Ultisol soil, suggesting MRSG could effectively replace traditional magnesium fertilizers for sustainable growth.
Background: Previous epidemiologic studies of autoimmune diseases in the United States (US) have included a limited number of diseases or used meta-analyses that rely on different data collection methods and analyses for each disease.
Methods: To estimate the prevalence of autoimmune diseases in the US, we used electronic health record data from six large medical systems in the US. We developed a software program using common methodology to compute the estimated prevalence of autoimmune diseases alone and in aggregate that can be readily used by other investigators to replicate or modify the analysis over time.
Article Synopsis
- Diabetic retinopathy is a major cause of blindness among adults, but AI diagnostic solutions can help early detection and prevention.
- The review identified key ethical concerns about AI in diagnostics, including patient data protection, bias in algorithms, informed decision-making, and minimizing negative clinical impacts.
- While AI advancements are promising for reducing blindness, more research is needed on equitable access and safeguards to ensure ethical implementation in healthcare.
Background Vulval lichen sclerosus (VLS) is a chronic inflammatory condition that is frequently misdiagnosed and under-recognised. To date, qualitative research focuses on lived experience of VLS, with women attributing diagnostic delay to poor interactions with health care professionals (HCPs) often due to lack of knowledge. In the UK, women with VLS are most likely to present to primary care.
