The Role of Nutrient Supplements in Female Infertility: An Umbrella Review and Hierarchical Evidence Synthesis.

Background And Objectives: Nutrient supplements are commonly used to improve fertility outcomes by women with infertility trying to conceive spontaneously or utilising medically assisted reproduction (MAR). However, despite their widespread use and perceived safety, there is a lack of clear guidance on the efficacy and safety of these supplements for female infertility. The aim of this umbrella review was to identify the best available and most recent evidence on the efficacy and safety of nutrient supplements for female infertility to provide evidence-based guidance for clinicians and reproductive couples.

Antioxidant Responses and Redox Regulation Within Plant-Beneficial Microbe Interaction.

The increase in extreme climate events associated with global warming is a great menace to crop productivity nowadays. In addition to abiotic stresses, warmer conditions favor the spread of infectious diseases affecting plant performance. Within this context, beneficial microbes constitute a sustainable alternative for the mitigation of the effects of climate change on plant growth and productivity.

Stimulation of Seed Germination at Suboptimal Temperatures through Biopriming with Biofilm-Forming PGPR KT2440.

This study investigated the germination response to temperature of seeds of nine ecotypes. They are characterized by a similar temperature dependency of seed germination, and 10 °C and 29 °C were found to be suboptimal low and high temperatures for all nine ecotypes, even though they originated from regions with diverse climates. We tested the potential of four PGPR strains from the genera and to stimulate seed germination in the two ecotypes under these suboptimal conditions.

Attributes of FSW and UWFSW butt joints of armour grade AA5083 aluminium alloy: Impact of tool pin profile.

AA5083 is an alloy of military-grade aluminum used to make lightweight combat vehicles. Combining this material with traditional welding methods results in the formation of grain agglomerations, alloy separation, porosity, and pores. To overcome these shortcomings, Friction stir welding was utilized.

Prevalence of Refractive Error and Spectacle Compliance in Children of Tokha Municipality.

Background Refractive error is considered as an important component of the priority disease "childhood blindness" within the Vision 2020' initiative to eliminate avoidable blindness. The large majority of vision impairment in school aged children is due to uncorrected refractive error. Hence, refractive errors are considered as a public health challenge.
