Article Synopsis
- Cd toxicity is a significant environmental issue affecting agriculture and food safety, highlighting the need to address high Cd levels in soil and crops.
- This study investigates the effectiveness of iron-doped (FeBC) and zinc-doped biochar (ZnBC) in improving chickpea growth and yield in Cd-contaminated soil over a 120-day period.
- Results show that FeBC outperforms ZnBC and normal biochar (NBC) by enhancing plant growth and significantly reducing Cd uptake in roots, shoots, and grains, suggesting it as a viable solution for remediating contaminated soils while supporting sustainable legume production.
Introduction And Importance: The curative options for locally advanced hepatocellular carcinomas involving the vessels are very limited. Ex vivo liver resection and auto transplantation (ERAT) is a novel surgical method, which has been used in the management of such complex liver space occupying lesions, which are rendered conventionally unresectable. This technique involves a complete hepatectomy, extracorporeal hepatic resection on the backbench, and then reimplantation of the remnant hepatic parenchyma.

Background: Maternal gestational weight gain is an important determinant of pregnancy outcomes and may have an even greater role in twin pregnancies because of their higher rate of pregnancy complications and greater nutritional demands. However, data on the optimal week-specific gestational weight gain in twin pregnancies and on interventions that should be applied in cases of inadequate gestational weight gain are limited.
Objective: This study aimed to determine whether a new care pathway that involves monitoring gestational weight gain using a week-specific chart, along with a standardized protocol for managing cases with inadequate gestational weight gain, can optimize maternal gestational weight gain in twin pregnancies.
