Background: The idea of making science more accessible to nonscientists has prompted health researchers to involve patients and the public more actively in their research. This sometimes involves writing a plain language summary (PLS), a short summary intended to make research findings accessible to nonspecialists. However, whether PLSs satisfy the basic requirements of accessible language is unclear.

Allelopathy, the chemical interaction of plants by their secondary metabolites with surrounding organisms, profoundly influences their functional features. Lichens, symbiotic associations of fungi and algae and/or cyanobacteria, produce diverse secondary metabolites, among other usnic acid, which express to have potent biological activities. Mosses, i.

- This study explores the link between ABO blood groups and the risk of early stent thrombosis in patients who underwent coronary interventions, focusing particularly on non-O blood groups and their association with cardiovascular issues.
- Among 10,714 patients, only 0.73% experienced early stent thrombosis, and while non-O blood groups weren't significantly linked, those with B-antigens (B and AB blood types) showed a higher risk for early thrombosis compared to O type.
- The findings suggest that B-antigen presence is a notable factor in early stent thrombosis risk, indicating a need for more research to understand the biological mechanisms behind this relationship.
