Media‐Dependent Growth, Stress Responses, and Metal Accumulation Patterns in Azolla imbricata (Roxb.) Nakai Exposed to As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn: Individual and Combination Effects (Synergistic, Antagonistic, and Additive)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, we examined metal accumulation and biochemical responses of Azolla imbricata (Roxb.) Nakai exposed to water medium (WM) and nutrient medium (NM) under single and combined (co‐exposure) treatments with five metals (As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn) at 10% environmentally relevant concentrations.

Repurposing Agricultural Budgets With Multiple Objectives and Fiscal Constraints: A Multicriteria Decision‐Making Policy Tool Applied to Sub‐Saharan African Countries

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Repurposing agricultural public resources toward higher‐return incentives and investments can help transform agri‐food systems. This is important for low‐income countries, especially in sub‐Saharan Africa, where limited budgets restrict options for boosting agricultural spending.

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Influence of Delivery Method of Hydraulic Calcium Silicate Cement‐Based Sealer on Void Formation: A Micro‐Computed Tomography Study

Australian Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to compare three delivery methods of a hydraulic calcium silicate cement‐based sealer by quantifying voids using the single‐cone technique. Forty‐eight human mandibular molars were instrumented and scanned using micro‐computed tomography.

Effects of Calcium Hydroxide Paste and Access Cavities on Fracture Strength of Mature and Simulated Immature Human Teeth: Ex Vivo

Australian Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim was to examine whether a Ca(OH)2 paste affects fracture strength of teeth. Sixty extracted maxillary central incisors were prepared to simulate immature teeth. Another 40 were used as mature teeth. The ten groups (n = 10) were: (1) immature control; (2) immature + access; (3) immature + access + 1 m Ca(OH)2; (4) immature + access + 12 ...

Efficacy of Full and Limited Endoscopic Sinus Surgery in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps: A Randomised Controlled Trial

Allergy, EarlyView.
Both Full and Limited FESS result in clinically meaningful relief of disease‐specific HRQoL and nasal breathing, effectively improving nasal symptoms and sleep disturbance in CRSwNP patients. Clinically meaningful difference in decrease of SNOT‐22 scores between the groups was not found at 12‐ and 24–month follow‐up.

Solar irrigation in sub-Saharan Africa: economic feasibility and development potential

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
Irrespective of water resource abundance, agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is predominantly rainfed. Along with fertilization, irrigation could support smallholder farmers with stabilizing crop yields, increasing incomes, and achieving food ...

Clinical Utility of Tissue Proximity Indication With a Variable‐Loop Circular Catheter for Pulmonary Vein Isolation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The variable‐loop circular catheter (VLCC, VARIPULSE) is a pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) catheter equipped with a Tissue Proximity Indication (TPI) function, which monitors catheter‐tissue contact. Although TPI‐negative sites have been reported to contribute to gap formation, no studies have evaluated the utility of real‐time function.

Impact of Carina Width on Re‐Ablation Rate of Atrial Fibrillation After Primary Cryoballoon‐Ablation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Right side carina width is associated with the incidence of reconnection of RPVs and re‐ablation. Increased left side carina width was associated with re‐ablation rate, but there was no association with reconnection of the LPVs. ABSTRACT Background Reconnection of the pulmonary veins (PVs) is the primary cause of atrial fibrillation (AF) episodes after
