Background: Measurement noise often leads to inaccurate shear wave phase velocity estimation in ultrasound shear wave elastography. Filtering techniques are commonly used for denoising the shear wavefields. However, these filters are often not sufficient, especially in fatty tissues where the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can be very low.

Strategic management of the inputs particularly the nutrients could aid the crops achieve optimum growth and yield. Keeping this in mind, four years of field experiment was conducted to study the effect of combining inorganic as well as organic nutrient sources using soil-test-crop-response (STCR) approach in a randomized block design having ten treatments including control, 100% Recommended Dose of Fertilizers (RDF), 50% RDF, 100% RDF + 5 kg Zn ha (100% RDF + Zn), 100% RDF + 5 t farmyard manure ha (100% RDF + FYM), 50% RDF + 5 t farmyard manure ha (50% RDF + FYM), STCR inorganic with target yield-I (STCR TY-I), STCR inorganic with TY-II, STCR integrated with TY-I (STCR TY-I) and STCR integrated with TY-II (STCR TY-II) with each treatment replicated thrice.

- Pediatric pneumonia diagnoses are tricky due to overlapping symptoms with other respiratory issues, subjective radiograph interpretations, and non-diagnostic lab results.
- The study analyzed children aged 3 months to 16 years in Canadian EDs before COVID-19, focusing on how accurately physicians could classify pneumonia types using an expert panel for consensus diagnosis.
- Findings showed a significant mismatch between physicians’ diagnoses and consensus results, with over-diagnosis of typical bacterial pneumonia and recommendations for specific clinical and lab indicators to better identify bacterial cases.
Article Synopsis
- * EAAT2 dysfunction is linked to several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, with specific mutations in LRRK2, particularly Gly2019Ser, reducing EAAT2 expression.
- * This study reveals that LRRK2 is essential for the stability and function of EAAT2, suggesting its role in preventing neuronal damage from excessive excitatory signals, but does not affect the function of other NTTs.
Article Synopsis
- A unique case study describes a preschooler with a right-sided BH and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), requiring two different surgical approaches for treatment.
- This case is the first documented instance of a pediatric right-sided BH involving the appendix alongside congenital heart disease, leading to the proposal of the term Bhende-Pathak hernia for this variant.
