Background/Objectives: There exist multiple opioid-based treatments in palliative care, each with distinct side effect profiles. When adverse events occur, switching opioids can help maintain effective pain management. However, owing to limited clini...
Freeze–thaw cycles stimulate the release of available soil phosphorus (P) in winter, and biochar as a soil amendment could improve P availability. Nevertheless, it is unclear how freeze–thaw cycles and biochar amendment interact to affect...
Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is a type of agricultural product that is widely used as a food spice, herb and traditional medicine. White garlic (WG) can be processed into several kinds of products, such as green garlic (GG), Laba garlic (LAG) and black...
It is well known that platinum-based antineoplastic agents, including cisplatin (CP), have side effects that limit their use. Nefrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and hemolytic anemia are the most common side effects. There are few studies on the reduction...
Yam (Dioscorea spp.) is a main staple tuber crop in Nigeria and the West African region. Its performance is determined by genotypes and also the environment of growth. This study assessed the agronomic performance and yield stability of elite white y...
To study the effect of ecological function restoration in degraded natural forests in Xiaoxinganling, Heilongjiang Province, China, we set up 90 plots of degraded natural forests of different types and ages in the Xinqing Group Branch of Yichun Fores...
The association between dietary patterns and cardiometabolic risk factors is not well understood among adults in India, particularly among those at high risk for diabetes. For this study, we analyzed the data of 1007 participants (age 30–60 yea...
