Artificial intelligence-enhanced electrocardiogram for the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis: A systemic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is often delayed due to variability in clinical presentation. The electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most common and widely available tools for assessing cardiovascular diseases. Artificial intelligence (AI) models analyzing ECG have recently been developed to detect CA, but their pooled accuracy is yet to be evaluated.

Bending away from salt: a SMB-AUX1 story.

The study by Zheng et al. (2024) identifies a NAC transcription factor, SOMBRERO (SMB), localized in the root cap of Arabidopsis, which is essential for root halotropism. SMB influences root halotropism by establishing asymmetric auxin distribution in the lateral root cap (LRC) and maintaining the expression of the auxin influx carrier gene AUX1.

Job satisfaction and performance among employed Bangladeshi women working from home during COVID-19 pandemic: A cross-sectional study.

Background And Aims: The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic led to the adoption of telework modalities by individuals in Bangladesh. The study's objective was to determine the job satisfaction and performance level of employed Bangladeshi women working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among women employees of different professions in Dhaka city.

Phosphorus-induced restructuring of the ascorbate-glutathione cycle and lignin biosynthesis alleviates manganese toxicity in peach roots.

Manganese (Mn) is indispensable for plant growth, but its excessive uptake in acidic soils leads to toxicity, hampering food safety. Phosphorus (P) application is known to mitigate Mn toxicity, yet the underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive. Here, we conducted physiological and transcriptomic analyses of peach roots response to P supply under Mn toxicity.

Reviving resilience: MEcPP-mediated ASK1-IMPα-9-TRP2 stress-responsive module.

Chloroplasts are not only critical photosynthesis sites in plants, but they also participate in plastidial retrograde signaling in response to developmental and environmental signals. MEcPP (2-C-Methyl-D-erythritol-2,4-cyclopyrophosphate) is an intermediary in the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway in chloroplasts. It is a critical precursor for the synthesis of isoprenoids and terpenoid derivatives, which play crucial roles in plant growth and development, photosynthesis, reproduction, and defense against environmental constraints.

CmoPIP1-4 confers drought tolerance in pumpkin by altering hydrogen sulfide signaling.

Drought is a major limiting factor for the growth and development of pumpkins. Plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs) are major water channels that play a crucial role in the regulation of cellular water status and solute trafficking during drought conditions. CmoPIP1-4 is a plasma membrane-localized protein that is significantly upregulated in roots and leaves under drought-stress conditions.

WRKY Transcription Factors in : An Insight into the Regulation of Aroma Synthesis.

WRKY transcription factors are one of the largest families of transcription regulators that play essential roles in regulating the synthesis of secondary metabolites in plants. Jasmine (), renowned for its aromatic nature and fragrant blossoms, possesses a significant abundance of volatile terpene compounds. However, the role of the family in terpene synthesis in jasmine remains undetermined.

Silencing of PpNRAMP5 improves manganese toxicity tolerance in peach (Prunus persica) seedlings.

The natural resistance-associated macrophage protein (NRAMP) gene family assists in the transport of metal ions in plants. However, the role and underlying physiological mechanism of NRAMP genes under heavy metal toxicity in perennial trees remain to be elucidated. In Prunus persica, five NRAMP family genes were identified and named according to their predicted phylogenetic relationships.

Laboratory simulation of the swampy forest system for the passive treatment of acid mine drainage in coal mine reclamation areas.

Coal mining that applies the open pit method has the potential to generate acid mine drainage. Acid mine drainage (AMD) treatments must include processes to mitigate significant challenges; these treatments include active treatment with high costs and process uncertainty and passive treatment with its limitations. The new concept of the swampy forest system involves the development of passive treatment for AMD, which lowers costs, increases capacity, and provides a natural process to mitigate the AMD that has been generated.

The factor structure of extrapyramidal symptoms evaluated using the Drug-Induced Extrapyramidal Symptoms Scale in patients with schizophrenia: Results from the 2016 REAP AP-4 study.

Introduction: Drug-induced extrapyramidal syndrome (EPS) remains a major problem in clinical psychiatry. This study aimed to examine the factor structure of drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms observed in patients with schizophrenia and assessed using the Drug-Induced Extrapyramidal Symptoms Scale (DIEPSS).

Methods: The participants were 1478 patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia whose EPS was assessed using the DIEPSS in India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, and Taiwan in the 2016 REAP AP-4 study.

Capturing total steroid burden in patients with atopic dermatitis and asthma.

The cumulative burden of cutaneous, inhaled, intranasal and systemic corticosteroids (CS) in individual patients should be routinely assessed. Our monitoring tool collected data on CS type, potency, frequency, side effects, interventions and patient counseling in every encounter. 82 AD patients had 151 encounters.
