This study investigated the effects of long-term method of fertilization on growth and yield formation in early-season rice. Based on a 42-year field experiment initiated in 1981, three treatments: chemical N, P, and K (NPK), a double dose of chemical NPK (HNPK), and a combination of chemical and organic fertilizers (NPKM) were selected for comparison. Measurements included rice yield, yield components, tiller dynamic, dry matter accumulation, chlorophyll content (SPAD values), and transcriptome analysis of leaves at full heading stage in 2022. Results showed that rice yield followed the order NPKM > HNPK > NPK. The HNPK and NPKM treatments increased by 56.64% and 90.33%, respectively (p < 0.05). Spikelet density and 1000-grain weight increased by 9.16-22.89% and 3.74-4.28%, respectively. Both HNPK and NPKM enhanced the tillering rate by 43.84-72.73%, leading to an 18.95-57.54% increase in effective panicles. Dry matter accumulation from heading to filling stages was highest in NPKM-treated rice, with an increase of 3.31-4.25 g/plant in dry matter transport from leaves and stems to spikes during the filling to maturity stages. The SPAD values of NPKM-treated plants were consistently higher than those of HNPK and NPK treatments, with a smaller decline (6.94%) from heading to filling stages compared to 18.23% and 26.29% for HNPK and NPK, respectively. Correlation analysis indicated a positive relationship between yield and SPAD values or dry matter accumulation and a negative correlation with the decline in SPAD values from full heading to filling stage. Transcriptome analysis revealed significant enrichment of photosynthesis and plant senescence pathways among treatments. Overall, long-term combined application of chemical and organic fertilizers (NPKM) improved yield components, delayed chlorophyll degradation, promoted dry matter accumulation and transport, and regulated the expression of photosynthesis-related and senescence-related genes, ultimately optimizing growth and yield in early-season rice.

Introduction: This study aimed to identify predictive factors for long-term incomplete nidus obliteration following stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).
Material And Methods: A systematic search across the PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases identified observational studies reporting such factors. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed.

Objectives: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) with endotherapy (ET) is the first-line treatment in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) and main pancreatic duct stone (PDS). Our study aimed to evaluate factors that predict the outcome of ESWL in CP patients with PDS.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data of 166 patients with CP and radiopaque PDS.

Background: Cardiac diagnostic testing continues to evolve, and controversies remain regarding the optimal utilization of different procedures. We sought to evaluate changes in long-term utilization trends for a wide range of cardiac diagnostic tests in the context of advancing technologies and updated guidelines.
Methods: Annual cardiac testing volumes from 2010 to 2022 in the Medicare Part B population were compared across tests and by provider specialty and analyzed using Joinpoint regression.

Background: Mass conflict and related displacement in South Sudan has created a significant mental health need, however extant research on the impact of conflict is limited among South Sudanese people and has predominantly relied on Western-developed self report measures.
Method: A total of 195 South Sudanese adults who work in both civil society and government leadership positions participated in a psychophysiological assessment of heart rate variability (HRV) and self-reported PTSD and emotion dysregulation symptoms to participation in the Trauma-Informed Community Empowerment (TICE) Framework, developed and implemented by the Global Trauma Project (GTP). We utilized measures of heart rate variability to determine parasympathetic activity, which may be associated with difficulties responding to stressors as well as long-term physical health morbidity and mortality.

Primary large B-cell lymphoma of immune-privileged sites (IP-LBCL) encompasses a spectrum of relatively rare aggressive B-cell lymphomas, such as primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), primary testicular large B-cell lymphoma (PTL), and primary vitreoretinal large B-cell lymphoma (PVRL). Macroscopically, the development of IPI-LBCL may be associated with the dysfunction of meningeal lymphatic vessels (mLVs) and the perivascular channel system formed by astrocytes. Microscopically, mutation in MYD88 and CD79B genes plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of IP-LBCL.
