Dural Puncture Epidural, Standard Epidural, and No Epidural: Comparative Effects on Labor Progression and Neonatal Outcomes

Objective: To compare non-epidural labor, standard epidural analgesia, and dural puncture epidural analgesia with respect to labor progression, obstetric outcomes, analgesia-related outcomes, and neonatal results. Methods: This single-center retrospective observational cohort stu...

Reproductive and endocrine responses to short-term safflower seed supplementation in anestrous ewes synchronized with progestagen

Abstract. This study investigated the effects of short-term supplementation with safflower seed, a linoleic-acid-rich oilseed, on reproductive performance and endocrine responses in Hungarian Merino ewes during the non-breeding season. Forty-four clinically healthy multiparous ew...

Larval crowding in Culex pipiens generates cumulative cascading effects under changing environmental conditions

Density-dependent population regulation is a fundamental driver in the population dynamics of living systems, ensuring a balanced and sustainable maintenance in nature. It has been suggested that the adverse developmental and morphological effect of high larval density in contain...

Effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on flexibility and neuromuscular performance in gymnastics: a systematic review

The purpose of this review is to describe the available evidence on proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation interventions in gymnastics and to identify the limitations of the current evidence base. A comprehensive search of PubMed, EBSCO, Scopus and SPORTDiscus identified five...

A learning-dynamics-driven framework for robust small-object detection in complex field environments: YOLOv11l-AGRI-EMA framework

Accurate fruit detection under natural field conditions remains challenging due to small object size, occlusion, and complex background variability. While most studies focus on architectural modifications, the role of learning dynamics and training stability remains underexplored...

Blood Pressure and Angina-Related Health Status During Benidipine Therapy: A Multicenter Real-World Cohort Study

Background: Benidipine is a long-acting calcium channel blocker used for the treatment of hypertension and chronic coronary syndrome. Although it effectively lowers blood pressure (BP), the relationship between BP reduction and improvement in angina-related health status during b...

Crosslinked Chitosan/quarry waste composite beads for adsorption of Reactive Blue dyes

The present study aimed to evaluate quarry waste (QW), an industrial by-product rich in silicate and aluminate phases, as a reinforcing filler in a chitosan matrix, and to develop crosslinked chitosan/quarry waste (CS/QW) composite beads for the removal of Reactive Blue 49 (RB 49...
