Efficacy and systemic safety of adding intra-articular dexmedetomidine as adjuvant therapy to bupivacaine for post-operative analgesia in knee arthroscopic procedures: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Various analgesic methods have been evaluated for knee arthroscopy, but adequate pain control after arthroscopic procedures has been a challenge. This meta-analysis compares intra-articular bupivacaine with intra-articular bupivacaine plus dexmedetomidine, for post-op pain control after knee arthroscopy.

Methods: Adhering to the PRISMA guidelines we performed a thorough literature review and selected all the studies meeting our inclusion criteria (CD42024559371).

Silicon (Si) foliar treatment modulates L. (green chilli) growth and stress responses under cadmium and lead stress.

Silicon (Si) plays a crucial role in improving plant resilience against abiotic stresses including heavy metals (HMs). However, little is known about its role in chilli plants during HM stresses like cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb). The present study aimed to evaluate the role of Si in chilli plants grown under different concentrations of Cd and Pb respectively.

Enhancing Pea Plant Growth, Nutrient Acquisition, and Symbiosis in Cobalt-Stressed Soil Using Metal-Tolerant Klebsiella sp.

Excessive cobalt (Co) levels in agricultural soil cause significant toxicity, reducing crop growth and yield. This study aimed to assess the potential of Klebsiella sp. SRB-5 (Accession no.

Boosting disease resistance in Solanum melongena L. (eggplant) against Alternaria solani: the synergistic effect of biocontrol Acinetobacter sp. and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA).

Alternaria solani causes early blight disease in eggplants, threatening production and leading to significant economic losses. Fungicides are used to control fungal diseases, but their overuse raises resistance concerns. Finding novel, eco-friendly biocontrol agents is therefore a solution for the future.

Biosorption of cobalt (II) from an aqueous solution over acid modified date seed biochar: an experimental and mass transfer studies.

Water pollution because of the presence of heavy metals remains a serious worry. The present work demonstrates the exclusion of cobalt ion (or Co(II)) from water using novel and cost-effective biosorbents. Initially, the biosorbent was chemically modified using orthophosphoric acid and then subjected to calcination to result acid modified date seed biochar (AMDB).

Cu-tolerant Klebsiella variicola SRB-4 increased the nanoparticle (NP) stress resilience in garden peas (Pisum sativum L.) raised in soil polluted with varying doses of copper oxide (CuO)-NP.

Utilizing metal/nanoparticle (NP)- tolerant plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is a sustainable and eco-friendly approach for remediation of NP-induced phytotoxicity. Here, Pisum sativum (L.) plants co-cultivated with different CuO-NP concentrations exhibited reduced growth, leaf pigments, yield attributes, and increased oxidative stress levels.

A Rare Case of Tubercular Osteomyelitis of Mandible in a 5-year-old Child.

Unlabelled: Tuberculosis (TB), also known as Koch's disease, is a chronic granulomatous disease typically caused by (). On 24 March 1882, Dr Robert Koch discovered that caused TB. In humans, and atypical mycobacterium may also cause this disease.

Phytofabricated gold nanoparticles as modulators of salt stress responses in spinach: implications for redox homeostasis, biochemical and physiological adaptation.

Introduction: The utilization of plant material for synthesizing nanoparticles effectively triggers physiological and biochemical responses in plants to combat abiotic stresses. Salt stress, particularly caused by NaCl, significantly affects plant morphology and physiology, leading to reduced crop yields. Understanding the mechanisms of salt tolerance is crucial for maintaining crop productivity.

The halotolerant exopolysaccharide-producing Rhizobium azibense increases the salt tolerance mechanism in Phaseolus vulgaris (L.) by improving growth, ion homeostasis, and antioxidant defensive enzymes.

Globally, agricultural productivity is facing a serious problem due to soil salinity which often causes osmotic, ionic, and redox imbalances in plants. Applying halotolerant rhizobacterial inoculants having multifarious growth-regulating traits is thought to be an effective and advantageous approach to overcome salinity stress. Here, salt-tolerant (tolerating 300 mM NaCl), exopolysaccharide (EPS) producing Rhizobium azibense SR-26 (accession no.

Assessment of upper airway changes after interpositional arthroplasty: a cephalometric analysis.

This prospective cohort study examined the changes in airway area and soft tissue parameters following interpositional arthroplasty for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis. Ten patients with TMJ ankylosis underwent surgery, and preoperative and postoperative skeletal and soft tissue measurements were obtained. A significant rise in soft tissue parameters was observed following surgery, although only minor changes in skeletal parameters were seen.
