A new approach for artificial pollination in walnut trees: AirPoll.

Pollination is the first step in the plant's fruit development. Therefore, fruit setting does not occur without pollination. Some problems encountered in natural pollination cause pollination not to be achieved as desired and cause significant losses in yield and fruit quality.

Antioxidant effect of Rosa pimpinellifolia L. fruit extract on cholestatic liver injury: an experimental study.

Background: Antioxidants have been considered a rational curative strategy to prevent and cure liver diseases involving oxidative stress. An acute obstructive jaundice rat model was established to investigate the in vivo hepatoprotective efficacy of Rosa pimpinellifolia L.

Methods: The experimental jaundice model was performed by binding the main bile duct in 25 male Sprague-Dawley rats.

Relationship Between Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Level and Aggressive Pathological Features of Papillary Thyroid Cancer.

Objectives: Thyroid-stimulating hormones (TSHs) are associated with the risk of differentiated thyroid cancer. The relationship between pre-operative TSH levels and aggressive features is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between pathological features of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and high TSH levels.

Gallbladder Uptake Mimicking Liver Metastasis on 177Lu-DOTATATE Posttherapy Scan Gallbladder Uptake on 177Lu-DOTATATE Scan.

We represent the case of a 61-year-old man with atypical carcinoid tumor of the lung. On posttherapy 177Lu-DOTATATE whole-body scan, focal intense uptake in the inferomedial side of the liver was detected. Pretherapy 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT showed no sign of liver metastasis, and posttherapy diagnostic dynamic liver MRI is used to exclude metastatic liver disease.

A new approach to monitor and assess the damage caused by two-spotted spider mite.

This study uses an image-processing technique to determine the damage level caused by two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch) to cucumber plants and changes in the number of mites in a greenhouse. Firstly, a new agricultural platform was developed to ensure camera stability for capturing quality images. The images of 50 leaves infested with T.
