Phyto-ecological studies and distribution patterns of subfamily Polygonoideae in relation to edaphic factors across diverse ecological zones.

The species of the subfamily Polygonoideae is an essential component of temperate forests as well as the flora of the western Himalayan region. The aim of this research was to explore the taxonomic diversity, distribution patterns, and associated flora of Polygonoideae in relation to edaphic factors in various ecological zones in the Muzaffarabad division of the Kashmir Western Himalayan Region. We applied a random sampling approach for data collection from 10 different sites with a cumulative 780 quadrats to record the diversity of wild Polygonoideae species across the Muzaffarabad division between 2021 and 2022.

Bioactive plant waste components targeting oral bacterial pathogens as a promising strategy for biofilm eradication.

The significance of this study lies in its exploration of bioactive plant extracts as a promising avenue for combating oral bacterial pathogens, offering a novel strategy for biofilm eradication that could potentially revolutionize oral health treatments. Oral bacterial infections are common in diabetic patients; however, due to the development of resistance, treatment options are limited. Considering the excellent antimicrobial properties of phenolic compounds, we investigated them against isolated oral pathogens using and models.

Exploring biodiversity and ethnobotanical significance of species in Uzbekistan: unveiling the cultural wealth and ethnopharmacological uses.

Despite its millennial existence and empirical documentation, the ethnological knowledge of herbs is a more recent phenomenon. The knowledge of their historical uses as food, medicine, source of income and small-scale businesses, and the sociological impacts are threatened due to the slow ethnobotanical research drive. Species of the genus have long been extensively used in folk medicine to treat various illnesses of humans since the dawn of civilization.

Cleaner Biofuel Production via Process Parametric Optimization of Nonedible Feedstock in a Membrane Reactor Using a Titania-Based Heterogeneous Nanocatalyst: An Aid to Sustainable Energy Development.

Membrane technology has been embraced as a feasible and suitable substitute for conventional time- and energy-intensive biodiesel synthesis processes. It is ecofriendly, easier to run and regulate, and requires less energy than conventional approaches, with excellent stability. Therefore, the present study involved the synthesis and application of a highly reactive and recyclable Titania-based heterogeneous nanocatalyst (TiO) for biodiesel production from nonedible seed oil via a membrane reactor, since is easily and widely accessible and has a rich oil content (39% /).

Micrometer insights into Nepeta genus: Pollen micromorphology unveiled.

This study provides a comprehensive pollen micromorphology within the Nepeta genus, revealing intricate details about the pollen grains' structure and characteristics. The findings shed light on the evolutionary and taxonomical aspects of this plant genus, offering valuable insights for botanists and researchers studying Nepeta species. The pollen grains of 18 Nepeta species were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and light microscopy (LM) in Northern Pakistan.

Should we encourage the use of robotic technologies in complicated diverticulitis? Results of systematic review and meta-analysis.

Complicated diverticulitis is a common abdominal emergency that often requires a surgical intervention. The systematic review and meta-analysis below compare the benefits and harms of robotic vs. laparoscopic surgery in patients with complicated colonic diverticular disease.

Micromorphological Sculptural Diversity in Foliar Epidermis and Trichomes Features among Invasive Species.

This study examines the role of light microscopic (LM) and scanning electron microscopic (SEM) micromorphological traits of the epidermis in identifying and classifying invasive plants. SEM was conducted to increase our understanding of microscopic qualities that are not visible in light microscopy and to elucidate unclear affinities among invasive species. The study examines invasive species' morphological and anatomical characteristics from the Pothohar Plateau of Pakistan for the first time.

[Safety in electrosurgery: results of the All-Russian survey].

Objective: To assess the level of knowledge in electrosurgical safety among specialists in the Russian Federation.

Material And Methods: An Internet survey was devoted to the issues of electrosurgical safety. The questionnaire consisted of 15 questions in 5 items.

[Comparison of robot-assisted and conventional endoscopic surgeries in the Russian Federation. (A systematic review and meta-analysis)].

Objective: Comparative assessment of immediate and long-term results of robot-assisted and conventional endoscopic technologies in the Russian Federation.

Material And Methods: Searching for primary trials devoted to robot-assisted (RAE) and traditional video endoscopic (TVE) surgeries in the Russian Federation was carried out in the e-library and CENTRAL Cochrane databases. We used the recommendations of the Center for Expertise and Quality Control of Medical Care (2017, 2019) and the current version of the Cochrane Community Guidelines (2021).

[Morphological criteria for surgical treatment of anorectal malformations in children].

Objective: To improve treatment outcomes in patients with anorectal malformations via research of morphological criteria and differentiated approach to surgical correction.

Material And Methods: There were 37 children with various types of anorectal malformations for the period 2000-2019. We analyzed morphological features of atretic rectum wall, fistula, anastomosis with adjacent organs and skin of the perineum.

Orthopedic Manifestations of Type I Camurati-Engelmann Disease.

Background: Camurati-Engelmann disease (CED) is a rare genetic skeletal disorder characterized by limb pain, muscle emaciation and weakness, and cortical thickening of the diaphysis of long bones. It is caused by mutations in the transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFB1) (type I) or other unknown gene(s) (type II). We present 8 consecutive patients with type I CED.

[HOW TO PERFORM THE CONVERSION DURING LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY].

Early rehabilitation of children with cleft palate.

A clinical and experimental study showed the negative effect of cleft lip and palate on the growth and development of the maxilla, as well as on the morphological and functional conditions of the small intestine, which resulted in impaired digestive function and malabsorption and led to atrophy of the hyper-regenerative type. Based on these facts, the authors developed a method of atraumatic surgery for soft palate with oesophageal orifice narrowing. The technique was applied in 72 children of tender age, out of whom 27 had their defect eliminated solely by means of soft palate surgery without involving the hard palate tissue.
