Predicting carob tree physiological parameters under different irrigation systems using Random Forest and Planet satellite images.

Introduction: In the context of climate change, monitoring the spatial and temporal variability of plant physiological parameters has become increasingly important. Remote spectral imaging and GIS software have shown effectiveness in mapping field variability. Additionally, the application of machine learning techniques, essential for processing large data volumes, has seen a significant rise in agricultural applications.

Draft genome sequence of strain ZMCS4, a putative CAZyme-producing bacteria isolated from the marine brown algae .

We report the draft genome sequence of strain ZMCS4, isolated from . The assembled genome consists of 4.5 Mbp, comprising 25 contigs and 4,128 coding sequences.

"Long-term oncologic outcomes and risk factors for distant recurrence after pathologic complete response following neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer. A nationwide, multicentre study".

Background: Pathologic complete response (pCR) after multimodal treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is used as surrogate marker of success as it is assumed to correlate with improved oncologic outcome. However, long-term oncologic data are scarce.

Methods: This retrospective, multicentre study updated the oncologic follow-up of prospectively collected data from the Spanish Rectal Cancer Project database.

Acute and Rapid Response of and to Saline Reclaimed Water in Terms of Water Relations, Hormones, Amino Acids and Plant Oxylipins.

The use of reclaimed water is considered an efficient tool for agricultural irrigation; however, the high salinity associated to this water could compromise plant quality and yields. Balm and spearmint plants were submitted for 15 days to three irrigation treatments in a controlled chamber: control with EC: 1.2 dS m (control), reclaimed water from secondary effluent (EC: 1.

Maternal mental health and breastfeeding amidst the Covid-19 pandemic: cross-sectional study in Catalonia (Spain).

Background: Covid-19 pandemic became an unexpected stressor for the entire population and, particularly, for pregnant women and lactating mothers. The alarming infectious risk together with the lockdown period could affect the emotional state of mothers-to-be, as well as breastfeeding rates, mother-baby bonding, or neonatal weight gain. The aim of this study is to describe the impact of this world health emergency in mother-baby pairs right after the first wave of Sars-Cov-2 pandemic (from March to May 2020).

Improving water quality does not guarantee fish health: Effects of ammonia pollution on the behaviour of wild-caught pre-exposed fish.

Ammonia is a pollutant frequently found in aquatic ecosystems. In fish, ammonia can cause physical damage, alter its behaviour, and even cause death. Exposure to ammonia also increases fish physiological stress, which can be measured through biomarkers.

Effect of on Physiological and Hormonal Traits in Plants to Water Deficit: Relationships among Water Status, Photosynthetic Activity and Plant Quality.

species can form ectomycorrhizae and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus that can bring benefits when plants are under water stress conditions. However, the application of some ectomycorrhizae on the water uptake under drought through physiological traits and hormonal regulation is less known. The experiment was performed during three months in a growth chamber with plants in which the combined effect of the ectomycorrhiza inoculation and two irrigation treatments (control and water-stressed plants) were applied.

Substrate composition affects the development of water stress and subsequent recovery by inducing physiological changes in Cistus albidus plants.

Organic residues (compost) can be used as growth medium but may contain phytotoxic ions that, combined with a water deficit may alter the behavior of plants. The experiment was carried out in a growth chamber with Cistus albidus in a commercial substrate, C (sphagnum peat, coconut fiber and perlite, 8:7:1) and a mixture of compost substrates, Cp (slurry compost, coconut fiber and perlite, 3:6:1). Plants were grown in pots under well-watered, maintaining values of Ψ around -0.

Correction to: An individualised versus a conventional pneumoperitoneum pressure strategy during colorectal laparoscopic surgery: rationale and study protocol for a multicentre randomised clinical study.

After publication of our article [1] the authors have notified us that there are changes in the primary outcome and the statistical analysis plan of the study.

Stochasticity in space, persistence in time: genetic heterogeneity in harbour populations of the introduced ascidian Styela plicata.

Spatio-temporal changes in genetic structure among populations provide crucial information on the dynamics of secondary spread for introduced marine species. However, temporal components have rarely been taken into consideration when studying the population genetics of non-indigenous species. This study analysed the genetic structure of Styela plicata, a solitary ascidian introduced in harbours and marinas of tropical and temperate waters, across spatial and temporal scales.

Traumatic endophthalmitis caused by Nocardia kruczakiae in a patient with traumatic eye injury.

Background: We describe a case of traumatic ocular endophthalmitis caused by Nocardia kruczakiae after vegetable trauma in an immunocompetent child.

Findings: A 5-year-old boy suffered from a trauma with a palm tree leaflet. Two months later, he was diagnosed with traumatic infectious uveitis and intumescent cataract with anterior capsule rupture.

Different incubation times of cells after gene electrotransfer in fetal bovine serum affect cell viability, but not transfection efficiency.

Electroporation as a delivery method is increasingly important in gene therapy, not only in vivo but also in in vitro experimental systems. Different applications of gene electrotransfer require high viability of cells and high transfection efficiency of gene electrotransfer. It was already demonstrated that the addition of fetal bovine serum (FBS) immediately after gene electrotransfer leads to improved cell survival and transfection efficiency.

Intracameral phenylephrine 1.5% for prophylaxis against intraoperative floppy iris syndrome: prospective, randomized fellow eye study.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of intracameral phenylephrine (IPH) administered as prophylaxis against intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) and to analyze the ability of IPH to reverse IFIS.

Design: Prospective, multicenter, randomized, comparative case series of fellow eyes.

Participants: Forty-two patients receiving tamsulosin who underwent cataract surgery between January and April 2011.

Management of late spontaneous in-the-bag intraocular lens dislocation: Retrospective analysis of 45 cases.

Purpose: To evaluate the characteristics of and risk factors for spontaneous late in-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation and to analyze the outcomes of surgical correction.

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Complejo Hospitalario Orense, Orense, Spain.

Methods: In this retrospective single-surgeon interventional case series, the surgical database of a referral center was searched for cases of late spontaneous in-the-bag IOL dislocation between 2005 and 2009.
