Assessment of Various Nanoprimings for Boosting Pea Germination and Early Growth in Both Optimal and Drought-Stressed Environments.

One of the main climate change-related variables limiting agricultural productivity that ultimately leads to food insecurity appears to be drought. With the use of a recently discovered nanopriming technology, seeds can endure various abiotic challenges. To improve seed quality and initial growth of 8-day-old field pea seedlings (cv.

Case study scrub nurse role in aorto-bifemoral reconstruction with transbrachial balloon endoclamping technique.

Introduction: Aortoiliac arterial disease is a chronic progressive disease which is characterized by steno-occlusive changes in the aorta and iliac arteries. The gold standard for the treatment of patients with the advanced stage of the disease is aorto-bifemoral reconstruction. Patients with circumferential juxtarenal calcifications of the aorta bear a high risk of intraoperative complications, due to difficult cross-clamping in such zones.

Useful functional recovery and quality of life after surgical treatment of peroneal nerve injuries.

Closed injuries to the peroneal nerve recover spontaneously in about a third of patients, but surgery may be needed in the remaining 2/3. The recovery after surgery is not always satisfactory and the patients may need an orthosis or a walking aid to cope with regular daily activities. This study aimed to evaluate the useful functional recovery and quality of life (QoL) in surgically treated patients with peroneal nerve (PN) injuries.

Bio-Priming of Soybean with and : Strategy to Improve Seed Germination and the Initial Seedling Growth.

Bio-priming is a new technique of seed treatment that improves seed germination, vigor, crop growth and yield. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of (commercial strains) and (newly isolated strains) as a single inoculant and co-inoculant during seed bio-priming to improve seed germination and initial seedling growth of two soybean cultivars. The treated seeds were subjected to germination test (GT), cold test (CT) and accelerated aging test (AAT).

Minimal clinically important differences in SF-36 global score: Current value in orthopedic oncology.

The SF-36 is widely used to evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with musculoskeletal tumors. Instead of typical methods, calculating the SF-36 Global Score has recently become an increasingly common reporting approach. However, numerical changes lack clear clinical relevance.
