Promoting salt tolerance, growth, and phytochemical responses in coriander (Coriandrum sativum L. cv. Balady) via eco-friendly Bacillus subtilis and cobalt.

In plant production, evaluation of salt stress protectants concerning their potential to improve growth and productivity under saline stress is critical. Bacillus subtilis (Bs) and cobalt (Co) have been proposed to optimize salt stress tolerance in coriander (Coriandrum sativum L. cv.

Vitamin-K antagonist versus dual antiplatelet therapy in management of isolated and non-obstructive atherosclerotic coronary artery ectasia.

Background: Treatment of isolated and non-obstructive atherosclerotic coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is still controversial.

Aim: To assess the efficacy and safety of vitamin-K antagonist (VKA) versus dual antiplatelet (DAPT) therapy in management of patients with isolated and non-obstructive atherosclerotic CAE.

Methods: We prospectively enrolled 79 patients diagnosed on elective coronary angiography to have either isolated CAE or non-obstructive atherosclerotic CAE.

Enhancing growth and bioactive metabolites characteristics in Mentha pulegium L. via silicon nanoparticles during in vitro drought stress.

The development and production of secondary metabolites from priceless medicinal plants are restricted by drought stress. Mentha pulegium L. belongs to the Lamiaceae family and is a significant plant grown in the Mediterranean region for its medicinal and aesthetic properties.

A novel efficient multi-walled carbon nanotubes/gibberellic acid composite for enhancement vase life and quality of Rosa hybrida cv. 'Moonstone'.

The postharvest life of cut flowers is limited, which is a major challenge and varies greatly depending on plant varieties, cut flower stage, flower length of the harvested shoots, and storage conditions including postharvest treatments. As a result, improving the vase life and quality of cut flowers in regulating postharvest characteristics and overcoming these challenges is critical to the horticulture business. Novel engineered nanocomposites were created and tested for possible impacts on flower bud opening, postharvest life extension, longevity regulation, and preservation and enhancement of the strength and appearance of cut flowers.

Somatic variants as a cause of drug-resistant epilepsy including mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis.

Objective: The contribution of somatic variants to epilepsy has recently been demonstrated, particularly in the etiology of malformations of cortical development. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic yield of somatic variants in genes that have been previously associated with a somatic or germline epilepsy model, ascertained from resected brain tissue from patients with multidrug-resistant focal epilepsy.

Methods: Forty-two patients were recruited across three categories: (1) malformations of cortical development, (2) mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis, and (3) nonlesional focal epilepsy.
