Article Synopsis
- Flooded rice cultivation impacts soil properties such as redox potential and nutrient availability, which raises concerns about water usage and soil health.
- A study in Brazil showed that bacterial communities in rice soils can recover after disturbances caused by draining and flooding but struggle to maintain stability over the long term.
- Analysis revealed shifts in bacterial composition with increased Proteobacteria and changes in metabolic functions, highlighting the resilience of microbial communities and their importance for sustainable rice farming practices.
Efficacy and safety of stereotactic radiosurgery with gamma knife machine in patients with essential tremor: a systematic review and single-arm meta-analysis.
Neurosurg Rev
November 2024
Essential tremor (ET) is identified as the most prevalent movement disorder, primarily characterized by tremors in both upper extremities. The spectrum of surgical options for ET includes gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) and other stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) modalities. Despite the limitations of these options, SRS is deemed an essential and indispensable approach.

Since the prior meta-analysis new randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been published. This meta-analysis aimed to update the current knowledge on the efficacy of tirofiban for patients with AIS not submitted to reperfusion therapies.

- Selective detection of changes in the glycocalyx is a growing area in targeted therapies, focusing on identifying small alterations in cell surface glycans.
- The study introduces a DNA-barcoded phage system, LiLA, which uses multivalent lectin displays to recognize subtle glycan density variations on normal and cancer cells effectively.
- This innovative approach allows better in situ detection of glycocalyx differences in cancer stem cells compared to current technologies, highlighting its potential for improved disease monitoring and treatment strategies.
Objective: To evaluate surface roughness and bacterial adhesion after in situ biodegradation of the cementation interface of indirect restorations cemented with preheated resin composite.
Methods And Materials: Resin composite blocks (Z250XT/3M ESPE) were cemented to bovine enamel (7 × 2.5 × 2 mm) using preheated microhybrid resin composites: (1) Filtek Z100 (3M ESPE) (Z100); (2) Gradia Direct X (GC America) (GDX); and (3) Light-cured resin cement RelyX Veneer (3M ESPE) (RXV) (n=21).
