Variable viscosity, activation energy and microgravity effects on Darcy nanofluid for the thermal performance improvement in thermal energy storage systems through stretching flat plate solar collector is the focus of this research. Thermal energy storage (TES) can be improved though solar collectors, phase change materials and photovoltaic cells using nanofluid in the base liquid. To increase the reaction rate in nanoparticles, the activation energy and solar radiations are used for the efficiency of TES.

Faba bean is one of the most important grown plants worldwide for human and animal. Despite its various importance, the productivity of faba bean has been constrained by several biotic and abiotic factors. Many faba bean pathogens have been reported so far, of which the most important yield limiting disease is Chocolate Spot Disease (Botrytis fabae).

Background: Multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections are increasing globally in neonates, infants and children; antibiotic options are limited.

Methods: This international, multicenter, open-label phase 2 study, investigated the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of single-dose and multiple-dose cefiderocol [as a 3-hour infusion (every 8 hours) dosed at 2000 mg for body weight ≥34 kg and at 60 mg/kg for body weight <34 kg], over a range of renal function, in hospitalized pediatric patients with aerobic Gram-negative bacterial infection; multiple-dose patients required standard-of-care systemic antibiotics for 5-14 days. Four cohorts of pediatric patients were enrolled (cohort 1: 12 to <18 years, cohort 2: 6 to <12 years, cohort 3: 2 to <6 years and cohort 4: 3 months to <2 years).

Article Synopsis
  • - Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP) affects 10% of pregnancies globally and includes conditions like chronic hypertension and preeclampsia, leading to serious health risks for both mothers and infants.
  • - A study examining brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (BAFMD) showed that women with HDP had significantly lower BAFMD compared to normotensive pregnant and nonpregnant women, though no major differences were found between HDP subgroups.
  • - While BAFMD decreased with gestational age, it proved to be a poor indicator for HDP, with body mass index (BMI) identified as a better predictor for the condition.
