"Metabolight": how light spectra shape plant growth, development and metabolism.

Innovations in light technologies (i.e. Light Emitting Diodes; LED) and cover films with specific optical features (e.

Drought tolerance and recovery capacity of two ornamental shrubs: Combining physiological and biochemical analyses with online leaf water status monitoring for the application in urban settings.

When plants are transferred from nursery to urban environments, they often face drought stress due to inadequate maintenance, such as insufficient irrigation. Using drought tolerant species may help mitigate the adverse impact of drought stress in urban settings. Additionally, utilizing novel technologies for water status monitoring may help optimize irrigation schedules to prevent transplanting failures.

Hypoxia-inducible factor-2α enhances neutrophil survival to promote cardiac injury following myocardial infarction.

Heart failure is a major cause of mortality following myocardial infarction. Neutrophils are among the first immune cells to accumulate in the infarcted region. Although beneficial functions of neutrophils in heart injury are now appreciated, neutrophils are also well known for their ability to exacerbate inflammation and promote tissue damage.

Short and long-term effect of polycarbophil vaginal gel on vaginal atrophy of peri- and post-menopausal women. The TRIPLE study.

Objectives: This TRIPLE study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of polycarbophil vaginal gel (PCV) in treating symptoms of vaginal atrophy (VA) of peri- and post-menopausal women.

Materials And Methods: Sexually active women in peri- (n = 29) and post-menopause (n = 54) suffering from VA, were progressively enrolled and treated for 30 days with PCV. Those wishing to continue (n = 73) were treated for additional 180 days.
