Effect of Green Synthesized Fe₃O₄NP Priming on Alfalfa Seed Germination Under Drought Stress by Xinyue Wang, Mengting Ge, Xueqing He

“…The pot experiments demonstrated morphological adaptations in alfalfa seedlings: under moderate drought stress, the 40 mg/L Fe₃O₄NPs significantly increased lateral root numbers, while under severe drought stress, the 60 mg/L Fe₃O₄NPs increased the root surface area by 20.5% and preserved the roots’ structural integrity compared to controls. These findings highlight that Fe₃O₄NPs synthesized via Ginkgo leaf extracts and enzymatic ultrasonic methods exhibit promising agricultural potential. …”

Undeliverable by design? How excessive internal medicine commitments are compromising Group 1 specialty training across the UK by Hasaan Rafique, Sadaf Hasaan, Neil Fisher

“…Conclusion: Our audit confirms that Group 1 training across one of the UK’s largest deaneries is not being delivered as intended. Without urgent structural reform, including enforcement of the 75:25 split, protection of specialty immersion time and reduced dependency on trainees to fill IM rotas, the UK risks producing a generation of consultants who are underprepared, undertrained and internationally uncompetitive. …”
