Evolution of metabolic herbicide resistance is a major issue for weed management. Few genes and regulatory mechanisms have been identified, particularly in dicotyledonous weed species. We identified putative causal genes and regulatory mechanism for tembotrione-resistance in Amaranthus palmeri.

We ask whether an app-based intervention ( = 143) to prioritize can substantially improve the caregiving experience, and whether these benefits are moderated by (1) caregiver demographics and (2) conditions of the caregiving situation (such as baseline impairment). Constructing curvilinear growth models to assess changes over a 20-week period, we find significant improvements in the positive aspects of caregiving (PAC).

The wound healing process encompasses haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodelling, each reliant on specific nutrients. This article summarises the current literature on the role of nutrition in wound healing, focusing on key nutrients: proteins, vitamins (A, C, E, K), and minerals (zinc, iron, copper, manganese), essential for collagen synthesis, immune function, and cellular activity.

Pain education and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) are recommended first-line treatments, but access is poor, treatment effectiveness is variable, and long-term effectiveness is inconsistent. In-home virtual reality (VR)-delivered therapies might address these shortcomings because therapeutic content can be delivered in a consistent and quality-controlled manner.

For the technology to perform certain healthcare-related tasks or act as a study aid, the technology should have up-to-date knowledge and the ability to reason through medical information. The purpose of this study was to assess the orthopedic knowledge and reasoning ability of ChatGPT by querying it with orthopedic board-style questions.
