To determine the suitable planting density and row spacing of short-season cotton suitable for machine picking in the Yellow River Basin of China, we conducted a two-year field experiment in Dezhou during 2018-2019. The experiment followed a split-plot design, with planting density (82500 plants·hm and 112500 plants·hm) as the main plots and row spacing (equal row spacing of 76 cm, wide-narrow row spacing of 66 cm+10 cm, equal row spacing of 60 cm) as the subplots. We examined the effects of planting density and row spacing on growth and development, canopy structure, seed cotton yield and fiber quality of short-season cotton.

- A study evaluated the effectiveness of the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in reducing pain and opiate use in hernia surgeries, since it's known to help with abdominal surgeries.
- The analysis included 8 randomized clinical trials with 791 patients, showing that those who received the TAP block used significantly less morphine and reported lower pain scores at 24 hours post-surgery.
- Additionally, patients with TAP block experienced less postoperative nausea and vomiting, along with fewer general complications compared to those without the block.
Background/aims: In critically ill patients, gastrointestinal function plays an important role in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Patients suffering from acute lower gastrointestinal dysfunction need to be performed a temporary fecal diversion after the failure of conservative treatment. This study aims to determine which type of fecal diversion is associated with better clinical outcomes in critically ill patients.
