At present, there is a lack of indicators, which can accurately predict the post-percutaneous coronary intervention (post-PCI) vessel-oriented composite endpoint (VOCE). Recent studies showed that the post-PCI quantitative flow ratio (QFR) can predict post-PCI VOCE. PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane were searched from inception to March 27, 2022, and the cohort studies about that the post-PCI QFR predicts post-PCI VOCE were screened.

As a beneficial fertilization practice to maintain high crop yield and soil fertility, partial substitution of chemical fertilizer (CF) by organic fertilizer (OF) may exert a notable disturbance to soil systems. However, how nitrite oxidation responds to different proportions of CF to OF is still unclear.

- Reactive nitrogen (Nr) from human activities can lead to soil acidification, which impacts how bacteria and fungi contribute to nitrous oxide (NO) emissions from the soil.
- A field experiment examined the effects of synthetic fertilizer and manure on NO emissions across different levels of soil acidity, revealing that increased acidity reduced bacterial contributions but boosted fungal contributions to NO production.
- Results indicated that soil properties and fungal communities primarily influence the contributions to NO emissions, with manure reducing bacterial contributions in more acidic soils while having minimal effect on fungal emissions.
Introduction: Early and accurate diagnosis of imported malaria cases in clusters is crucial for protecting the health of patients and local populations, especially confirmed parasitic persons who are asymptomatic.
Methodology: A total of 226 gold miners who had stayed in highly endemic areas of Ghana for more than six months and returned in clusters were selected randomly. Blood samples from them were tested with microscopy, nest polymerase chain reaction, and rapid diagnostic test (RDT).
