Subcapsular liver haematoma in pregnancy, a rare and life-threatening condition, is more commonly associated with severe preeclampsia and haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count (HELLP) syndrome. The common presenting symptom of subcapsular haematoma is acute-onset upper abdominal pain in patients suffering from preeclampsia; shock is the presenting feature in severe cases of rupture. Here we have discussed a case of subcapsular haematoma associated with HELLP syndrome in a patient who responded to conservative management.

It is also been considered as a feasible approach for addressing the deficiency in potassium, calcium, and sulphur within a single application source. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of polyhalite-based POLY4 application, either as a complete or partial substitute for traditional potassium fertiliser and gypsum supplement, on the improvement of peanut () growth and soil quality.

- Breeding Spanish-type groundnuts with 2-3 weeks of fresh seed dormancy improves agricultural sustainability.
- Researchers evaluated advanced breeding lines using phenotypic and genotypic methods, identifying several lines with high dormancy (over 90%).
- Key lines like PBS 16021 and PBS 15044 not only showed high dormancy but also excelled in traits like hundred pod weight and kernel weight, making them suitable for future breeding strategies.
Article Synopsis
- The Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership has implemented a tobacco dependency treatment program for NHS workers that includes 6 months of behavioral support and 12 weeks of treatment through a digital app.
- During the evaluation period from January 2022 to September 2023, 1,567 workers participated, resulting in significant reductions in smoking, including over 89,000 smoke-free days and the avoidance of more than 1.25 million cigarettes.
- The program demonstrated a 12-week abstinence rate of 37% among a subset of 300 participants, highlighting its effectiveness in aiding NHS workers in overcoming tobacco dependency.
The global market has a high demand for premium edible grade groundnut, particularly for table use. India, in particular, exhibits significant potential for exporting confectionary grade large seeded groundnut. The environment plays a significant impact in influencing the expression of seed traits, which subsequently affects the confectionary quality of groundnut genotypes.
