Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of music that was listened to by pregnant women during the non-stress test (NST) on the test result and maternal anxiety.
Materials And Methods: The study utilized a non-randomized controlled trial design. Sequential sample selection method was used. The pregnant women in the experimental group listened to music during the NST (20 min).
Results: There were significant differences between the two groups in terms of mean numbers of acceleration deceleration and reactive NST results (p = 0.001). There were statistically significant differences between the intergroup mean scores of pre- and post-music in favor of the control group (p = 0.001).
Conclusion: This study concluded that music is an effective method of reducing pregnant women's deceleration numbers and increasing their acceleration numbers and reactive NST rates. The use of music during NSTs can be recommended.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the combined effects of biochar (BC) from fruit and vegetable waste and gibberellic acid (GA3) on reducing Cd toxicity in maize, measuring oxidative stress markers and antioxidant enzyme activities.
- Results indicate that the combination of GA3 and BC significantly decreases hydrogen peroxide levels and enhances antioxidant enzyme activities, particularly under high Cd stress, suggesting that these treatments work synergistically to protect maize from Cd-induced damage.

Article Synopsis
- * The study will recruit approximately 1955 participants for home-based ECG monitoring, and will conduct comprehensive assessments, including physical exams and advanced imaging techniques.
- * The research aims to identify how other health issues affect AF development, find prevention strategies, and establish a foundation for future clinical trials on AF detection and prevention.
Prognostic value of stress CMR and SPECT-MPI in patients undergoing intermediate-to-high-risk non-cardiac surgery.

Article Synopsis
- This study focused on how myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) stress tests—specifically using stress cardiac magnetic resonance (sCMR) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT-MPI)—affect the safety of high-risk patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.
- It involved 1,590 patients with heart disease or significant cardiovascular risk factors, finding that those who underwent stress tests had fewer cardiac complications within 30 days post-surgery (1.2% vs. 3.4%).
- While both sCMR and SPECT-MPI reduced cardiac event rates equally, sCMR was shown to be more accurate for predicting the need for coronary artery revascularization.

Although early studies were able to demonstrate a negative impact of stress on working memory performance, present research findings are heterogeneous. Numerous further studies found no effects or even improved performance, with the direction of these stress effects likely depending on the underlying biological mechanisms. The aim of this study was to investigate receptor-specific effects, as part of the stress-induced cortisol response, on working memory performance.
