The concurrently occurring multiple abiotic stresses like salinity and heavy metals (Nickel) pose a serious threat to plant survival and food security worldwide, especially in the face of climate change. Therefore, it is imperative to continuously test and study the plant's physiological changes under combinations of abiotic stresses to ensure sustainability and food security. An experiment was conducted to study the interactive effects of salinity (0, 7.

Early detection of cACLD is essential for effective risk stratification and timely management, potentially preventing progression to more severe and irreversible stages of liver disease. Transient elastography (TE) is the primary diagnostic method for cACLD, with several diagnostic thresholds commonly used.

The study aimed to evaluate the radiopacity of calcium silicate-based and resin-based materials using direct digital radiography, employing an aluminium step wedge according to American National Standards Institute/International Organization for Standardization (ANSI/ISO) standard protocols for testing the radiopacity of root canal sealers. This study seeks to determine the effectiveness of these materials in meeting the required standards for clinical use.

- This case report highlights dilated cardiomyopathy as a serious heart complication in autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS-1), stressing the importance of early detection and teamwork among healthcare providers.
- APS-1, a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the AIRE gene, typically presents with symptoms like mucocutaneous candidiasis, adrenal insufficiency, and hypoparathyroidism.
- The reported case involves a 28-year-old male with multiple symptoms confirming APS-1, indicating the necessity for comprehensive care and regular follow-up to enhance patient outcomes.
