Biochemical and yield response of spring wheat to drought stress through gibberellic and abscisic acids.

Drought stress significantly impacts wheat productivity, but plant growth regulators may help mitigate these effects. This study examined the influence of gibberellic acid (GA3) and abscisic acid (ABA) on wheat (Triticum aestivum L., CV: Giza 171) growth and yield under different water regimes.

Efficacy of the intravenous formulation of fentanyl citrate administered orally as premedication in paediatric patients undergoing open cardiac surgery.

Background: Recently, fentanyl has become prevalent as a sedative premedication.

Methods: A non-inferiority parallel design quadruple-blinded randomised controlled trial of 1- to 7-year-old children scheduled for elective cardiac surgery was conducted. Participants were assigned a 1:1 allocation ratio to a control group ( = 50) given a parenteral formulation of midazolam 0.

Enhanced brain tumor diagnosis using combined deep learning models and weight selection technique.

Brain tumor classification is a critical task in medical imaging, as accurate diagnosis directly influences treatment planning and patient outcomes. Traditional methods often fall short in achieving the required precision due to the complex and heterogeneous nature of brain tumors. In this study, we propose an innovative approach to brain tumor multi-classification by leveraging an ensemble learning method that combines advanced deep learning models with an optimal weighting strategy.

infection and hepatocellular carcinoma: a comorbidity study.

Background: The implication of human () infection in concomitance with other risk factors such as hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is still under controversy. This work aimed. to evaluate the role of infection in association with hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and other risk factors in the development and/or progress of HCC.
