Different agricultural practices can be beneficial in Miscanthus × giganteus (M × g) phytotechnology applied to post-military and post-mining lands. However, only limited research has focused on supportive treatments using biochar produced from M × g waste. Indeed, when M × g phytotechnology is applied to contaminated soil, the biochar produced through the pyrolysis of the obtained biomass is contaminated, raising concerns about its further application. The current study tested the use of biochar produced from M × g roots cultivated long-term in slightly contaminated soil in the M × g phytotechnology of Cu- or Zn-spiked soils which is important for finding the solution toward valorization of the contaminated biomass. Two biochar doses (1.67 and 5.00%) were evaluated with varying levels of Cu (200 to 416 mg kg-1) or Zn (202 to 580 mg kg-1) concentrations in the soils. This study revealed a beneficial influence of biochar on M × g development, specifically by increasing the plant height and aboveground biomass by up to 20.4 and 115%, respectively. However, the root dry weight increased by 31.8% only at the highest application rate of biochar. The option for valorization of the contaminated biochar in the next phytoremediation process applied to soil contaminated more than the biochar itself was tested. The finding showed the positive influence of biochar on the M × g phytoremediation metrics such as tolerance index, bioconcentration factor, translocation factor, and comprehensive bioconcentration index which ensured the perspective of the proposed approach in the implementation of post-remediation management practice.

This review summarizes the data from published studies that dealt with observation of various bioparameters changes in cancer population dependant on used therapy. Critically evaluating these studies and looking for relations among separate results we are trying to estimate prognostic value of these parameters (likelihood of recurrence, overall survival, ...) and also their value for prediction of tumor response to cytostatic, hormonal or other treatment. The aim is selection of such tumor population characteristics the testing of them would enable better patient stratification in postoperative adjuvant systemic therapy.

OBJECTIVE: RhD-positive subjects are protected against toxoplasmosis-associated impairment of psychomotor performance. Here we searched for RhD-positivity-associated maternal protection against the effects of toxoplasmosis. METHODS: In the present retrospective cohort study, we analysed data from 785 (139 RhD-negative) Toxoplasma-free and 194 (27 RhD-negative) Toxoplasma-infected pregnant women. We searched for effects of toxoplasmosis and Rhd-phenotype on maternal weight before pregnancy, pregnancy weight gain, fetal ultrasound data (biparietal diameter, abdominal circumference, femur length) and on birth length and weight. RESULTS: At pregnancy week 16, the RhD-negative mothers with toxoplasmosis gained more weight than others (P < 0.001). The difference of about 1600 g remained approximately constant from pregnancy week 16 until the end of pregnancy. Neither toxoplasmosis nor RhD phenotype had any effect on fetal bioparameter data or birth length and weight. CONCLUSION: The most parsimonious explanation for the observed data is that the RhD-positive phenotype might protect infected subjects against a broad spectrum of detrimental effects of latent toxoplasmosis, including excessive gestational weight gain.
