Case Report of Vaginal Breech Birth.

In this case report, we describe a successful unplanned vaginal breech birth (VBB) for a primigravid woman who presented to the hospital in labor. This woman transferred to our hospital from an attempted home birth and was highly motivated to achieve a vaginal birth. The staff were recently trained on the provision of physiologic breech birth support, and after receiving informed consent, they facilitated a successful VBB.

The effects of oil adjuvant on the degradation of spirotetramat and its metabolites in apple cultivation.

Spirotetramat is a frequently used insecticide in integrated pest management (IPM) strategies against rosy apple aphid (Dysaphis plantaginea) and woolly apple aphid (Eriosoma lanigerum) in apple cultivation. It is known that paraffin oil adjuvants increase the effect of spirotetramat against aphids. In contrast, there is a knowledge gap regarding the effects of co-applied paraffin (mineral or petroleum) oil on the degradation of spirotetramat and its metabolites (B-enol, B-keto, B-mono, and B-glu), which has not been previously investigated.

Mitigation of Drought Stress for Quinoa ( Willd.) Varieties Using Woodchip Biochar-Amended Soil.

Drought stress deteriorates agro-ecosystems and poses a significant threat to crop productivity and food security. Soil amended with biochar has been suggested to mitigate water stress, but there is limited knowledge about how biochar affects the physiology and vegetative growth of quinoa plants under soil water deficits. We grew three quinoa ( Willd.
