The Yacyretá dam is one of the most important hydroelectric projects in La Plata Basin.As a consequence of the filling of the reservoir to its final height of 83 meters; approximately 1;076 km2 of terrestrial and ripari...

With increasing impacts of climate change, vulnerable low-lying developing countries like Bangladesh have coastal zones that experience disproportionate loss and damage (L&D) that exceed the limits of local adaptation. T...

The primary goal of this study is to examine the association between entrepreneurship and digital entrepreneurship, while exploring the moderating roles of gain assessment, loss assessment, and perceived feasibility. Usi...

Background and Objective: Stress is a psychological state of fatigue or physical fatigue affects an individual in response to psychological pressure or unexpected real life. Stress can be short-term or longterm, Feelin...

ABSTRACT Electrochemotherapy is a local anticancer treatment in which non-permeant chemotherapeutic drugs are associated with electric pulses of well-established parameters. The electric pulses cause pores to open on the...

The profitability of livestock activities can be diminished significantly by the effects of parasites. Economic losses caused by cattle parasites in Brazil were estimated on an annual basis, considering the total number ...

Paramedics in the United Kingdom independently assess patients with transient loss of consciousness (TLOC) in community settings. The UK’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence publishes clinical guidelines...

Abstract Objective The purpose of the study was to investigate the hemostatic effect of local application of 10 units hemocoagulase bothrops atrox for injection (HBA)during the perioperative period of primary total hip a...

In the context of global warming, droughts are increasingly threatening our societies. They last for months or even years, affecting wide areas and large numbers of people, with single drought events sometimes causing ec...

Background: This cross-sectional observational study analyzed data from routine clinical practice to compare outcomes across independent treatment duration cohorts (3, 6, and 9 months). Methods: This retrospective cohor...

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by memory loss and cognitive decline. One of the leading theories explaining AD pathology is the emergence of cortical hypo...

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between handgrip strength and quality of life in cancer patients,and to analyze gender differences.MethodsA total of 291 cancer patients hospitalized in the oncology department of ...

The existence of two types of alopecia areata is suggested (probably genetically different): early-onset, with more severe symptoms, longer disease duration, higher tendency to relapse, often with a positive family histo...

Abstract Objective 26% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage, and up to 10% of clinically diagnosed pregnancies, and recurrent pregnancy loss is 5% among couples of childbearing ages. Although there are several known c...

This work presents the performance assessment of diverse membrane arrangements to separate carbon dioxide (CO2) from a binary mixture with methane (CH4). For the purpose, we employ computer modeling to represent differen...

Soil loss poses a serious threat to agricultural productivity and causes environmental degradation, particularly in Ethiopia. It depletes soil fertility, resulting in reduced crop productivity and accelerated sedimentati...

Recent interest in soil quality assessment underscores the need for an accurate measurement of soil organic carbon (OC) and its labile fraction, i.e. particulate OC. The loss-on-ignition (LOI) method has been proposed as...

Land degradation affects about 300 million ha of land in the Latin American and Caribbean region: 51% of this is agricultural land (180 million hectares). The ARCAL Regional Strategy Profile identifies the deficient use ...

Land degradation (LD) is a major barrier toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), due to challenges in national assessments. A comprehensive spatiotemporal anal...

Abstract Background Life expectancy increases, leading to growth in an older population where frailty and comorbidities are more prevalent. Subsequent increased intensive care unit (ICU) treatment results in prolonged re...

Key Points. Physiological normothermic machine perfusion kept kidneys viable for 12 hours with better hemodynamics, urine output, and metabolic stability than clinical normothermic machine perfusion. Physiological normot...

Assessing land degradation is essential for identifying susceptible regions and planning sustainable landscape management approaches. This research employed a combination of geographic information system (GIS) and multic...

Despite achieving high volumetric overlap, pixel-based deep learning segmentation approaches do not ensure true vascular connectivity, leading to fragmentations structurally analogous to Branch Retinal Artery Occlusions....
