A novel functional screening method for generation of a synthetic microbial community: Case study with control of Fusarium wilt in pigeonpea.

Conventional methods to combat phytopathogens have ecological implications: chemical fertilizers pollute the environment, while bioinoculants are often inconsistent under field conditions. Microbiome-assisted rhizosphere engineering aims to re-structure the rhizosphere microbiome to promote plant growth and/or mitigate stress. This study employs a strategy based on rhizosphere engineering to combat stress caused by Fusarium udum in Cajanus cajan, by generating synthetic microbial communities (SMCs).

Bronchoscopic management of endobronchial hamartomas using "hot and cold" therapies - Initial experience in two patients.

Pulmonary hamartomas are the most common benign tumours of the lung and are often detected incidentally. Endobronchial hamartomas, though rare, can cause significant symptoms such as dyspnoea, haemoptysis, and recurrent respiratory infections due to bronchial obstruction. This report describes the successful bronchoscopic management of symptomatic endobronchial hamartomas in two young Indian males aged 29 and 34 years.

Clinical Outcomes of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Patients With Nicotine Dependence: A Longitudinal Study of 43 315 Patients.

Background And Objectives: Previous studies have demonstrated that current and/or past nicotine use disorder may worsen mortality and complications in patients experiencing subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This retrospective study examines clinical outcomes in nontraumatic SAH patients with nicotine dependence.

Methods: The TriNetX Research Network was used to analyze data from adult patients (≥18 years old) with a history of nontraumatic SAH.

Gabapentinoids in ERAS Protocols For Spine Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Study Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to estimate the safety and efficacy of gabapentinoid usage in ERAS protocols for spine surgery through a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Summary Of Background Data: Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) is a perioperative strategy designed to improve surgical outcomes through multimodal protocols.

Optical gaps of F-center defects in LiF using many-body methods.

F-center defects, occurring in technologically important wide-bandgap solids, influence the properties of the parent material. Their experimental characterization can be challenging due to low concentrations and spectral broadening. Modeling of these defects poses computational challenges due to their aperiodic nature, lattice distortion effects, and the need to describe many-body polarization effects induced by the surrounding environment.
