Evaluation of effectiveness resistance genes in wheat genotypes using marker-assisted selection for stripe rust resistance breeding".

Stripe rust, induced by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is the most harmful and prevalent disease in temperate regions worldwide, affecting wheat production areas globally.

Silver oxide nanostructures as a new trend to control strawberry charcoal rot induced by Macrophomina phaseolina.

Background: Silver oxide (Ag O) nanostructures were fabricated and their ability to induce antifungal activity against Macrophomina phaseolina, which causes charcoal rot disease in strawberries, was evaluated under laboratory, greenhouse and field conditions. A real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to monitor expression of defense-related genes, which is essential to evaluate the potential of the manufactured nanoparticles to promote strawberry resistance against charcoal rot. The effect of Ag O nanoparticles on growth characteristics in strawberry plants was also studied.

Efficacy of Hibiscus sabdariffa on Reducing Blood Pressure in Patients With Mild-to-Moderate Hypertension: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Published Randomized Controlled Trials.

We aimed to assess the efficacy of Hibiscus sabdariffa in patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension or metabolic syndrome (MetS) by comparing it against placebo, antihypertensive drugs, or other herbal products. Four databases were searched for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) examining the efficacy of H. sabdariffa in patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension or hypertension associated with MetS.

Should intravenous acetaminophen be considered for post craniotomy pain management? A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Introduction: Post-craniotomy pain management with opioids is challenging due to their side effects, which might mask neurological deterioration symptoms. Recently, intravenous (IV) acetaminophen has been tested in this population. This meta-analysis aimed to synthesize evidence from published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about the efficacy of IV acetaminophen in reducing pain scores in postoperative craniotomy patients.
