Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) is an important multipurpose legume crop grown in arid and semi-arid areas of sub-Saharan Africa. The crop associates with a wide diversity of high ecological value rhizobia bacteria, improving biological soil fertility and crop production. Here, we evaluated the symbiotic efficiency (SE) and genetic diversity…[Read more]

Kidney impairment in hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with increased in-hospital mortality and worse clinical evolution, raising concerns towards patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). From a pathophysiological perspective, COVID-19 is characterized by an overproduction of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-alpha),…[Read more]

Many participants described that Staying in Groups was a key strategy for them to keep physically active. Moreover, Restructuring occurred when Chinese older adults encountered trigger situations.

This study identified the stages of how community-dwelling Chinese older adults engage in to perform and maintain PA. The developed conceptual…[Read more]

Postoperative urinary leak, thromboembolic event, and wound abscess occurred in one (8.3%), one (8.3%), and two (16.7%) patients, respectively. Stenosis recurrence occurred in two patients (16.7%) at a mean 187.5 (20-355) postoperative days. De novo ED and de novo SUI were reported in two (16.7%) and four (33.3%) patients, respectively. Nine…[Read more]

Eight different interventions met inclusion criteria. The role of theory to increase SDM remains unclear. Specific intervention functions, such as ‘education’ on SDM and treatment options and ‘environmental restructuring’ using decision aids, are being used in SDM interventions, as well as ‘training’ for clinicians. Similarly, behaviour change…[Read more]

3%) a paravertebral access, in 20 (12.9%) through the lateral intercostal space and in 17 (11%) the thoracic anterior midline, respectively. A total of 136 (89.5%) of the biopsies were considered adequate for a specific histopathologic analysis. Total DLP (dose-length product) was 575.7 ± 488.8 mGy*cm. Mean lesion size was 6.0 ± 3.3 cm.
