Improvement of wheat yield grown under drought stress by boron foliar application at different growth stages by F.M.F. Abdel-Motagally, Manal El-Zohri

“…Boron spraying at booting stage enhances also plant pigments contents recording its highest mean values under normal water level (100% from the amount of water consumption for wheat). The reduction in stress markers (proline and H2O2) and the enhancement of plant pigments content under water stress levels (50% from the amount of water consumption for wheat) by B spraying suggests an alleviating effect of boron foliar application to water stress in the test plant. …”

Curcumin as Therapeutic Modulator of Impaired Antioxidant Defense System: Implications for Oxidative Stress-Associated Reproductive Dysfunction by Tuba Latif Virk, Qi Liu, Yuguo Yuan, Xianyu Xu, Fenglei Chen

“…Recent studies demonstrated the protective role of curcumin against oxidative stress and the inflammatory response, primarily through the upregulation of key antioxidant enzymes (including SOD, CAT and GPx), a reduction in oxidative stress markers (e.g., ROS, MDA) and by suppressing the pro-inflammatory signaling pathways (such as NF-kB, JAK/STAT) while activating the NRF2/HO-1 pathway to further enhance the cellular antioxidant defense. …”

Water stress effect on hydraulic architecture, biomass partitioning, and gas exchange of four different olive cultivars by Valeria Imperiale, Tiziano Caruso, Antonino Ioppolo, Alessandro Carella, Roberto Massenti, Francesco Paolo Marra

“…On these bases, the study aimed to identify strategies that different cultivars use to handle water stress. Biomass distribution and growth were significantly affected by cultivar and irrigation, with reductions occurring under severe stress, particularly in the shoots and leaves, while root biomass remained relatively stable. …”

Work stress related lipid disorders and arterial hypertension in professional drivers: A cross-sectional study by Đinđić Nataša, Jovanović Jovica, Đinđić Boris, Jovanović Milan, Pešić Milica, Jovanović Jovana J.

“…The study provides the evidence for the significant association of total OSI and underload with lipid disorders and elevated blood pressure in professional drivers, which could be a possible link between job stress and coronary heart disease. Regular periodical examinations and workplace interventions aimed to decrease total OSI and underload are important aspects in primary prevention and additional reduction of cardiovascular risk. …”

Activity of Different Types of Cactus Forage on Testicular Function and Morphology of Sheep Subjected to Environmental Heat Stress by Giselle Woolley Cardoso da Silva, Fernanda Carolina Ribeiro Dias, Marli do Carmo Cupertino, Alluanan Adelson do Nascimento Silva, Ângela Maria Vieira Batista, Emanuel Felipe de Oliveira Filho, Francisco Fernando Ramos de Carvalho, Ana Lúcia Figueiredo Porto, Valdemiro Amaro da Silva Júnior

“…In this study, we aim to analyze whether supplementation with cactus has the potential to minimize the testicular damage caused by heat stress, assess which of the three cactuses would have the best potential, and suggest a possible pathway (oxidative or hormonal) for the action of cactus on the testicular parameter alterations caused by heat stress. …”

Bidirectional predictors between baseline and recovery sleep measures and cardiovascular measures during sleep deprivation and psychological stress by Lauren N. Pasetes, Kathleen M. Rosendahl‐Garcia, Namni Goel

“…Notably, females showed significant predictive bidirectional relationships. Our novel results demonstrate that baseline sleep predicts CV metrics during TSD and psychological stress, and that these metrics predict recovery sleep, underscoring crucial relationships, mechanisms, and biomarkers between sleep and cardiovascular health.…”

Tuning and validation of a virtual mechanical testing pipeline for condylar stress fracture risk assessment in Thoroughbred racehorses by Soroush Irandoust, Chris Whitton, Corinne Henak, Peter Muir

“…Half of the specimens were used for tuning Young’s modulus in fatigue sites, and the other half were used to evaluate the validity of the pipeline in predicting PSG strain. The tuned model improved the prediction of strain and predicted higher strain in bones with PSG lysis over the untuned model, which is an essential feature for a diagnostic screening tool. …”
