Article Synopsis
  • Maize productivity has risen thanks to inorganic fertilizers, but their cost and environmental impact have made farmers wary, prompting this study to explore the use of cattle urine as a fertilizer alternative.
  • The experiment compared different treatments: control, 100% cattle urine, 50% cattle urine, and standard inorganic fertilizer, and found that 100% cattle urine and inorganic fertilizers produced similar growth and grain yields.
  • Results showed significant increases in grain yield and biomass with cattle urine treatments, particularly 100% and 50%, and 50% cattle urine had the highest nitrogen use efficiency, suggesting cattle urine could be a viable option for maize production, though more research is needed on its application rates.

Breast cancer (BC) is a prevalent malignant tumor in women, and its incidence has been steadily increasing in recent years. Compared with other types of cancer, it has the highest mortality and morbidity rates in women. So, it is crucial to investigate the underlying mechanisms of BC development and identify specific therapeutic targets.

Background: Recently, dolutegravir-based therapy has become the first-line treatment when compared to others. However, dolutegravir-associated side effects in the liver and levels of efficacy haven't been addressed yet in underdeveloped countries such as Ethiopia.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare liver function tests, CD4 counts, and viral load among people living with HIV on dolutegravir and efavirenz-based antiretroviral regimens at Debre Markos Comprehensive Specialized Hospital in Northwest Ethiopia.

Objective: To determine the effect of craniocerebral hypothermia (CCH) on neurological deficit regression, hemodynamics, fever and functional outcome of therapy in patients with moderate ischemic stroke (IS).

Material And Methods: This study included 60 patients with IS (the first day). The main group consisted of 30 patients who underwent CCH, and the comparison (control) group consisted of 30 patients without CCH.

The temperature of the brain can reflect the activity of its different regions, allowing us to evaluate the connections between them. A study involving 111 patients in a vegetative state or minimally conscious state used microwave radiometry to measure their cortical temperature. The patients were divided into a main group receiving a 10-day selective craniocerebral hypothermia (SCCH) procedure, and a control group receiving basic therapy and rehabilitation.
