Influence of priming on germination, development, and yield of soybean varieties

A two-factorial field experiment with soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merill) was conducted in a randomized block design, with four replications. The tested factors were seed priming method and genotype responses. There had been seven soybean var...

Assessing the impact of forest structure disturbances on the arboreal movement and energetics of orangutans—An agent-based modeling approach

Agent-based models have been developed and widely employed to assess the impact of disturbances or conservation management on animal habitat use, population development, and viability. However, the direct impacts of canopy disturbance on th...

Psychological STress, Anxiety, and Depression After miscarriage in comparison to successful pregnancy and abortion: design and protocol for the observational cohort study STRADA

Introduction Miscarriage occurs in 15%–20% of clinically recognised pregnancies. It may cause acute or prolonged psychological distress such as anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Data on symptom severity and dura...

Development and validation of a portable, point-of-care canine distemper virus qPCR test.

Canine distemper virus (CDV) is a multi-host pathogen that can cause significant mortality in domestic, wild terrestrial and marine mammals. It is a major conservation threat in some endangered species. Infection can result in severe respir...

Semi-enclosed experimental system for coal spontaneous combustion for determining regional distribution of high-temperature zone of coal fire

Abstract Temperature variation and gas generation at different depths and positions in the coal combustion process were studied to determine the propagation and evolution of high temperature regions in the process of coal spontaneous combus...

Developing a nomogram to predict recurrent intussusception after pneumatic reduction of primary intussusception in children

Abstract Backgroud Intussusception is a common acute abdominal disease in children, often leading to acute ileus in infants and young children. Objective This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram for predicting recurrent intussusc...

Preoperative and intraoperative assessment of myometrial invasion in patients with FIGO stage I non-endometrioid endometrial carcinoma—a large-scale, multi-center, and retrospective study

Abstract Introduction Myometrial invasion is a prognostic factor for lymph node metastases and decreased survival in non-endometrioid endometrial carcinoma patients. Herein, we explored the mode of myometrial invasion diagnosis in FIGO stag...

Pathway analysis of the impact of family function and self-efficacy on depression and anxiety in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer

Abstract Background Patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) experience significant psychological distress due to infertility, with depression and anxiety being the most common manifestations. This study investigates the i...

Barriers and facilitators of retention in care after cervical cancer screening: patients’ and healthcare providers’ perspectives

Abstract Background Cervical cancer continues to threaten women’s health, especially in low-resource settings. Regular follow-up after screening and treatment is an effective strategy for monitoring treatment outcomes. Consequently, underst...

Analysis of TORCH screening and prenatal risk assessment for childbearing-age women in different regions of China

Abstract Objective By conducting TORCH screening and risk assessment analysis on childbearing-age women in different regions of China, the aim is to provide reference for reducing adverse pregnancy outcomes and improving the health status o...
