Unraveling the catalase dynamics: Biophysical and computational insights into co-solutes driven stabilization under extreme pH conditions.

Catalase plays a vital role in eliminating toxic peroxides from the human body and the environment. The versatile applications of this enzyme extend across biotechnological industries and innovative bioremediation approaches. Nonetheless, ensuring enzyme stability is a challenging task.

Harnessing genotype × environment interaction and advanced selection indices for nutritional enhancement in taro (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott).

The nutritional composition of taro was accessed to select nutritional-rich genotypes using, additive main-effects and multiplicative interactions (AMMI), weighted average absolute scores (WAAS), best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP), genotype plus genotype × environment interaction (GGE) biplots, and multi-trait selection index (MTSI). The AMMI1 and AMMI2 biplots identified 11CE, 1CE, and 13CE as stable genotypes. 13CE, 8CE, and 24CE are stable as per the WAAS biplot.

Long-term engagement in smoking cessation campaign: A mixed methods randomized trial.

Introduction: A long-term engagement (LTE) intervention was embedded in a social marketing campaign aimed at motivating quit attempts among Canadian adult commercial tobacco users 35 to 64 years of age. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness and appeal of LTE within a marketing campaign.

Methods: 3,199 Canadians who smoked cigarettes aged 35-64 recruited using Facebook and Instagram advertisements were randomized into Intervention and Control groups.

A retrospective analysis of medical student authorship in highest impact radiology journal publications.

Objectives: To assess medical student authorship in radiology research, focusing on the prevalence and impact of student articles, demographic trends, and potential barriers and opportunities for involvement.

Methods: We retrospectively assessed original research and review papers from 2018 to 2022 in the top five radiology journals based on their 2022 Impact Factor. Three reviewers manually validated and classified articles by medical student (MS) and non-MS authorship.

Energy metabolism, antioxidant defense system, metal transport, and ion homeostasis are key contributors to Cd tolerance in SSSL derived from wild rice.

Cadmium (Cd) toxicity poses major challenges to rice cultivation, affecting plant growth and development. Wild rice and nanoparticles offer promising strategies to enhance Cd tolerance, yet little is known about their combined effects. This study evaluates the single segment substitution line (SG004) from Oryza glumaepatula (wild rice) and its response to Cd stress compared to cultivated rice (HJX74).
