Exploring glycine root uptake dynamics in phosphorus and iron deficient tomato plants during the initial stages of plant development.

Background: Phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe) deficiencies are relevant plants nutritional disorders, prompting responses such as increased root exudation to aid nutrient uptake, albeit at an energy cost. Reacquiring and reusing exudates could represent an efficient energy and nitrogen saving strategy. Hence, we investigated the impact of plant development, Fe and P deficiencies on this process.

Sub-Gigahertz Path Loss Measurement Campaign in Marine Environment: A Case Study.

This paper focuses on the characterization of radio propagation, and data communication in a marine environment. More specifically, we consider signal propagation when three different sub-gigahertz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) bands, i.e.

δC as a tool for iron and phosphorus deficiency prediction in crops.

Many studies proposed the use of stable carbon isotope ratio (δC) as a predictor of abiotic stresses in plants, considering only drought and nitrogen deficiency without further investigating the impact of other nutrient deficiencies, that is, phosphorus (P) and/or iron (Fe) deficiencies. To fill this knowledge gap, we assessed the δC of barley ( L.), cucumber ( L.

Duration of androgen deprivation with radiotherapy for high-risk or locally advanced prostate cancer: A network meta-analysis.

Objective: To evaluate various outcomes of different lengths of androgen deprivation therapy in high- and very-high-risk prostate cancer, we conducted a network meta-analysis of randomized trials. The treatment of high-risk PC comprises the use of radical radiotherapy associated with various durations of androgen deprivation therapy, with luteinizing hormone releasing hormone analogues initiated during or immediately before the beginning of radiation.

Methods And Materials: This study followed the PRISMA extension statement to report network meta-analyses.

Modulation of Genes and MicroRNAs in the Neurospheres of Glioblastoma Cell Lines U343 and T98G Induced by Ionizing Radiation and Temozolomide Therapy.

Introduction: Glioblastoma is the most prevalent primary malignant neoplasm of the central nervous system. It has increased its incidence, while the overall survival remains over 14 months.

Purpose: The purpose is to evaluate the expression of the genes EGFR, PTEN, MGMT, and IDH1/2, and microRNAs miR-181b, miR-145, miR-149, and miR-128a in adhered cells (AC) and neurospheres (NS) from cell lines (T98G and U343) submitted to temozolomide (TMZ) and ionizing radiation (IR).
