Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have garnered significant interest in the field of nanotechnology owing to their unique structure and exceptional properties. These materials find applications across a diverse array of fields, including electronics, environmental science, energy, and biotechnology. CNTs serve as potent reinforcing agents in polymer composites; even minimal additions can significantly improve the mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of polymers.

This study aimed to assess the safety of various antipsychotics during pregnancy by comparing them to quetiapine, which has a relatively large body of safety data.
Method: Utilizing the World Health Organization pharmacovigilance database (1968-2023; n = 131,255,418 reports), we identified 11,406 reports of antipsychotic exposure during pregnancy.
Drought is a major abiotic stress that severely affects cereal production worldwide. Although several genes have been identified that enhance the ability of rice to withstand drought stress, further research is needed to fully understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the response to drought stress. Our study showed that overexpression of rice DNA binding with one finger 12 (OsDof12) enhances tolerance to drought stress.

Methods: This retrospective study included cognitively intact patients with suspected parkinsonism. All participants underwent T2-weighted imaging to measure OBH.
Article Synopsis
- This study examines the effectiveness of deep-learning (DL) accelerated diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) for patients with acute neurological symptoms, focusing on faster scan times and image quality.* -
- It compares DL-DWI to traditional DWI in a sample of 321 patients, finding both methods had similar diagnostic accuracy and image quality, but DL-DWI had a significantly shorter acquisition time (49 seconds vs. 165 seconds).* -
- The results indicate that while DL-DWI may show more artifacts, it provided better visibility for smaller lesions and achieved comparable performance in detecting brain lesions, suggesting it is a feasible option for clinical use.*
