Combined Transcriptomics and Metabolomics Uncover the Potential Mechanism of Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria on the Regrowth of After Mowing.

Mowing significantly influences nutrient cycling and stimulates metabolic adjustments in plants to promote regrowth. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are crucial for enhancing plant growth, nutrient absorption, and stress resilience; however, whether inoculation with PGPR after mowing can enhance plant regrowth capacity further, as well as its specific regulatory mechanisms, remains unexplored. In this study, PGPR (B13) was inoculated into mowed to evaluate its effects on phenotypic traits, root nutrient contents, and hormone levels during the regrowth process and to further explore its role in the regrowth of after mowing.

Assessment of IL-6 Pathway Inhibition in Gastrointestinal Behçet's Disease from Immunological and Clinical Perspectives.

Behçet's disease is an autoinflammatory disorder characterized by relapsing and remitting vasculitis that can manifest in various forms, including gastrointestinal Behçet's disease (GIBD). Its complications (e.g.

EXPRESS: Sleep supports the consolidation of newly learned statistical concepts.

Within mathematical cognition the development of conceptual knowledge is seen as critical to developing understanding. Sleep has been well established to play a role in the consolidation of newly learned information and schema-based information but has yet to be explored within mathematical cognition. Across three experiments participants (N = 167) were assigned to a sleep or wake group and then viewed lectures on either p-values, t-test, or z-scores.

Are challenging walking environments linked to falls or risk of falling in children with cerebral palsy? A systematic review.

Background: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) regularly fall over and this has negative effects on their physical and psychosocial wellbeing (e.g., reduced activity participation).

Development of a machine learning algorithm to identify cauda equina compression on MRI scans.

Objective: Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES) poses significant neurological risks if untreated. Diagnosis relies on clinical and radiological features. As the symptoms are often non specific and common, the diagnosis is usually made after a MRI scan.

Trophoblast-derived factors drive human mesenchymal stem cell differentiation along an endothelial lineage: A model of early placental vasculogenesis.

Mechanisms controlling the process and patterning of blood vessel development in the placenta remain largely unknown. The close physical proximity of early blood vessels observed in the placenta and the cytotrophoblast, as well as the reported production of vasculogenic growth factors by the latter, suggests that signalling between these two niches may be important. Here, we have developed an in vitro model to address the hypothesis that the cytotrophoblast, by the secretion of soluble factors, drives differentiation of resident sub-trophoblastic mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) along a vascular lineage, thereby establishing feto-placental circulation.

Exploring childbirth experiences through a Salutogenic lens.

Women's experiences of childbirth have generally been considered through a pathological lens. Wider sociological arguments associated with salutogenesis stress the need to depict health on a continuum to help understand what constitutes positive health as well as ill-health. Similarly, to fully understand women's experiences of childbirth, it needs to be explored on a continuum, considering salutogenic and pathogenic factors.

Comparison of Mean Values and Entropy in Accelerometry Time Series from Two Microtechnology Sensors Recorded at 100 vs. 1000 Hz During Cumulative Tackles in Young Elite Rugby League Players.

Several microtechnology devices quantify the external load of team sports using Global Positioning Systems sampling at 5, 10, or 15 Hz. However, for short, explosive actions, such as collisions, these sample rates may be limiting. It is known that very high-frequency sampling is capable of capturing changes in actions over a short period of time.

Anatomy and Pathologies of the Spinous Process.

The spinous processes act as a lever for attachments of muscles and ligaments. Spinal imaging is commonly performed as a diagnostic test for pain and radiculopathy. A myriad of incidental or unexpected findings, both potentially asymptomatic and symptomatic, may be encountered during the interpretation of these images, which commonly comprise radiographs, Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

Healthcare professionals' promotion of physical activity to people living with and beyond head and neck cancer: a cross-sectional survey.

Purpose: Physical activity (PA) can improve health-related outcomes for head and neck cancer (HaNC) patients, and PA guidance from healthcare professionals' can increase patients' PA levels. However, less than 9% of HaNC patients are physically active. This study explored healthcare professionals' promotion of PA across the National Health Service (NHS) in North West England and North Wales, to HaNC patients.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to translate and culturally validate the University of Washington Quality of Life Questionnaire, Version 4.1 (UW-QOL v4.1) in Malayalam, a language commonly used in the state of Kerala in India.

Optimising children's movement assessment batteries through application of motivational and attentional manipulations.

An external focus of attention, enhanced expectancies, and autonomy support (i.e., OPTIMAL factors) are key factors to optimise motor performance and uncover latent movement capabilities.

Why are organisational approvals needed for low-risk staff studies in the UK? Procedures, barriers, and burdens.

Background: Health care staff should be given the opportunity to participate in research, but recruiting clinicians via their employing organisation is not always straightforward or quick in the UK. Unlike many countries outside the UK, very low-risk survey, interview or focus group studies can be subject to some of the same governance approval procedures as interventional studies. An exemplar study carried out by the NIHR funded Palliative Care Research Partnership North West Coast is used to highlight the challenges still faced by researchers and health care organisations when setting up a low-risk staff study across multiple NHS and non-NHS sites.

Neurophysiological evidence of motor contribution to vicarious affective touch.

Understanding observed interpersonal touch, particularly the so-called affective touch targeting the CT fibers, is essential for social interactions. Research has documented that observing other people being touched activates the same cortical areas involved in direct tactile experiences. However, observing interpersonal touch also activates an inner simulation of the movements in the observer's motor system.

The wind in the willows effect: Does age affect human versus animal faux pas recognition?

Children's literature is rife with anthropomorphic or non-human characters that may be used as a scaffold to teach children about theory of mind (ToM) or the ways in which people think or feel about the social world. In this study, 107 typically developing U.K.

Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Altered Lymphocyte E-NTPDase Are Implicated in Acute Dyslipidemia in Rats: Protective Role of Arbutin.

Background/objectives: Dyslipidemia is frequently linked to various disorders, and its clinical relevance is now recognized. The role of inflammation and oxidative stress (OS) in dyslipidemia has been acknowledged. This study assessed the potential of arbutin (ARB) to prevent dyslipidemia and its associated OS and inflammation in rats with acute hyperlipidemia.

DNA Methylation Participates in Drought Stress Memory and Response to Drought in .

: Drought is currently a global environmental problem, which inhibits plant growth and development and seriously restricts crop yields. Many plants exposed to drought stress can generate stress memory, which provides some advantages for resisting recurrent drought. DNA methylation is a mechanism involved in stress memory formation, and many plants can alter methylation levels to form stress memories; however, it remains unclear whether exhibits drought stress memory, as the epigenetic molecular mechanisms underlying this process have not been described in this species.

Haloxylon salicornicum Phytochemicals Suppress NF-κB, iNOS and Pro-inflammatory Cytokines in Lipopolysaccharide-induced Macrophages.

Haloxylon salicornicum is traditionally used for the treatment of several disorders associated with inflammation. Despite it is a defense response against tissue injury and infections, inflammation can become a chronic condition that can negatively impact the body. This study investigated the effect of H.

Investigating children's valuation of authentic and inauthentic objects: Visible object properties vs. invisible ownership history.

In human culture, an object's value is influenced by tangible properties (e.g. visual desirability and constituent materials) and intangible ownership history (e.

Enhancing clinical and public health interpretation of accelerometer-assessed physical activity with age-referenced values based on UK Biobank data.

Background: Higher accelerometer-assessed volume and intensity of physical activity (PA) have been associated with a longer life expectancy but can be difficult to translate into recommended doses of PA. We aimed to: (a) improve interpretability by producing UK Biobank age-referenced centiles for PA volume and intensity; (b) inform public-health messaging by examining how adding recommended quantities of moderate and vigorous PA affect PA volume and intensity.

Methods: 92,480 UK Biobank participants aged 43-80 years with wrist-worn accelerometer data were included.

Beneficial Effects of the Ketogenic Diet on Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD/MAFLD).

The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is likely to be approaching 38% of the world's population. It is predicted to become worse and is the main cause of morbidity and mortality due to hepatic pathologies. It is particularly worrying that NAFLD is increasingly diagnosed in children and is closely related, among other conditions, to insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

Characterization of Olive Oil Phenolic Extracts and Their Effects on the Aggregation of the Alzheimer's Amyloid-β Peptide and Tau.

The dietary consumption of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is believed to slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) symptoms. Its protective mechanisms are unclear, but specific EVOO phenolic compounds can individually impede the aggregation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides and the microtubule-associated protein tau, two important pathological manifestations of AD. It is unknown, however, whether the numerous and variable phenolic compounds that are consumed in dietary EVOO can collectively alter tau and Aβ aggregation as effectively as the individual compounds.

Mental Health, Declining Physical Activity and Social Connection during Transitions into Fatherhood in the UK.

This paper addresses an under-explored area of sociologically oriented health research, namely, the mental health and physical activity (PA) experiences of new fathers. Drawing upon responses to an online qualitative survey from 32 fathers, aged 18 or over, and living in the UK, we show how the decline in these fathers' overall PA was associated with poor mental health and the changing constraints that characterised their increasingly complex networks of interdependence. These constraints corresponded with shifts in fathers' PA engagement from team sports towards individualised, flexible, and more recreationally oriented lifestyle activities like running and the gym.

Disentangling the veil line for Brazilian biodiversity: An overview from two long-term research programs reveals huge gaps in ecological data reporting.

The lack of synthesized information regarding biodiversity is a major problem among researchers, leading to a pervasive cycle where ecologists make field campaigns to collect information that already exists and yet has not been made available for a broader audience. This problem leads to long-lasting effects in public policies such as spending money multiple times to conduct similar studies in the same area. We aim to identify this knowledge gap by synthesizing information available regarding two Brazilian long-term biodiversity programs and the metadata generated by them.
