Introduction: There are multiple variables known to be associated with pain during cesarean delivery (PDCD), including patient-related factors, obstetrical and surgical factors, and anesthetic technique. The primary aim of this prospective patient-reported outcome study was to evaluate patient-related factors, including expectations and anxiety, and clinical variables associated with PDCD.
Methods: Patients undergoing cesarean delivery from December 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024 were enrolled 24 to 72 hours postoperatively.
Tuberculosis (TB) is historically the world's deadliest infectious disease. New TB drugs that can avoid pre-existing resistance are desperately needed. The β-lactams are the oldest and most widely used class of antibiotics to treat bacterial infections but, for a variety of reasons, they were largely ignored until recently as a potential treatment option for TB.

Disentangling the contributions from fluctuations in the nuclear overlap size (geometrical component) and other sources at a fixed size (intrinsic component) remains a challenge. This problem is addressed by measuring the mean, variance, and skewness of P([p_{T}]) in ^{208}Pb+^{208}Pb and ^{129}Xe+^{129}Xe collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.

It is therefore important to validate and understand the performance of the components to achieve high rates of transformation and gene editing. Here, we have made a direct comparison of different CRISPR/Cas9 guide systems to target the genome in three cereal species.
