Phytohormone signaling is fine-tuned by regulatory feedback loops. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays key roles in plant development and abiotic stress tolerance. PYRABACTIN RESISTENCE 1/PYR1-LIKE/REGULATORY COMPONENT OF ABA RECEPTOR (PYR/PYL/RCAR) receptors sense ABA, and in turn, ABA represses their expression.

Clinical experience shows an increased duration of labor in obese parturient women. It is unclear if this population should receive the same dose of vaginal misoprostol for induction of labor as non-obese parturient women. We investigate the influence of obesity on the pharmacokinetics and placental transfer of the metabolite misoprostol acid in parturient women.

Applied research conditions often make it impossible to point-identify causal estimands without untenable assumptions. -bounds on the range of possible solutions-is a principled alternative, but the difficulty of deriving bounds in idiosyncratic settings has restricted its application. We present a general, automated numerical approach to causal inference in discrete settings.

Article Synopsis
  • Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are common medications for gastrointestinal issues, but recent studies indicate a possible link between long-term use and increased cardiovascular (CV) risks, raising clinical concerns.
  • This review examines the existing evidence on the potential CV risks associated with PPIs, analyzing mechanisms like drug interactions and electrolyte imbalances that might affect heart and blood vessel function.
  • Healthcare providers must weigh the risks and benefits for individual patients, considering alternative treatments for those at high risk of bleeding and seeking to understand the long-term impact of PPIs on cardiovascular health for future research.
