Article Synopsis
- Laparoscopic surgery, while minimally invasive, can lead to significant postoperative pain, which this study addressed by comparing two techniques for administering bupivacaine for pain relief.
- The study involved 60 adult female patients who were split into two groups: one receiving a bilateral rectus sheath block (BRSB) and the other receiving bupivacaine intraperitoneally, with pain levels measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at multiple time intervals.
- Results showed that those who received BRSB experienced significantly lower pain scores compared to the intraperitoneal administration group at all measured times, indicating BRSB may be a more effective method for postoperative pain management.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers categorized patients based on clinical assessments of AGA and measured various health parameters, finding significant associations between AGA and factors like Body Mass Index (BMI), fasting blood sugar (FBS), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL).
- * The findings suggested that individuals with AGA have a higher risk of MetS, indicating the need for early screening and lifestyle changes to prevent potential health complications.

Global agricultural production must quadruple by 2050 to fulfil the needs of a growing global population, but climate change exacerbates the difficulty. Cereals are a very important source of food for the world population. Improved cultivars are needed, with better resistance to abiotic stresses like drought, salt, and increasing temperatures, and resilience to biotic stressors like bacterial and fungal infections, and pest infestation.
