Long-Term Results of Pars Plana Vitrectomy with Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling for Vitreomacular Traction Syndrome: ...
Background: There is a lack of research on the clinical characteristics of vitreomacular traction (VMT) in the Central Asian population, which evaluates the visual recovery and macular hole closure outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with membrane peel in this population. Methods: This long-term prospective cohort study, conducted at the Kazakh...
The Role of Collector-Drainage Water in Sustainable Irrigation for Agriculture in the Developing World: An Experimental ...
This study investigates the feasibility of using mineralized collector-drainage water (CDW) for irrigating maize crops on light gray soils in the Syrdarya region of Uzbekistan, an area facing severe water scarcity and soil salinity challenges. The research is particularly novel as it explores maize production in marginalized soils, a subject previo...
Exploring Income Convergence for Central and South Asia / Badanie konwergencji dochodów w Azji Środkowej i Południowej
Income convergence refers to the idea that poor countries grow more quickly than rich ones and catch up in terms of per capita income; as a result, the per capita income of integrated nations eventually converges. Beta convergence suggests that less developed nations grow more quickly than more developed ones and reach their average per capita inco...
Identifying drivers of storage dynamics of lakes and reservoirs in the arid Central Asia
Published in Environmental Research Letters
Knowing the storage variations in lakes and reservoirs are essential for water resources and environmental management, especially in the regions facing water scarcity. However, the quantification of the storage changes is limited by sparse in-situ observations and spatial coverage of space (air)-borne altimetric sensors that have been used conventi...
Un siècle de gestion des ressources agropastorale et forestière dans la moyenne montagne ouzbèke au prisme de l’étude du...
...
Cette contribution vise à analyser quelles étaient les stratégies d'adaptation des systèmes agropastoraux face au stress hydrique au cours du dernier siècle en Asie centrale. Sur la base d'analyses paléoenvironnementales effectuées sur les sédiments du lac Kanbeshbulak (Sud de la chaîne montagneuse du Hissar, Ouzbékistan), nous reconstruirons la va...
Inclusion of Labor Migrants as a Potential Key Population for HIV: A Nationwide Study from Tajikistan
Key populations are particularly vulnerable to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Nearly half of Tajikistan’s gross domestic product (GDP) originates from labor migrant transfers. While not officially designated as a key population, over 300,000 migrants return to Tajikistan every year at increased risk for HIV due to absence or interrup...
Vaccination Schedule and Age Influence Impaired Responsiveness to Hepatitis B Vaccination: A Randomized Trial in Central...
...
Vaccination against hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the most cost-efficient measure to prevent infection. Still, vaccination coverage among adults in Central Asia, including Kyrgyzstan, remains suboptimal, and data about immune responses to HBV vaccination are lacking. HBV vaccination is given as three injections, whereby the second and third doses are ...
Response of Carbon and Water Use Efficiency to Climate Change and Human Activities in Central Asia
Carbon use efficiency (CUE) and water use efficiency (WUE) are key metrics for quantifying the coupling between terrestrial ecosystem carbon and water cycles. The impacts of intensifying climate change and human activities on carbon and water fluxes in Central Asian vegetation remain unclear. In this study, the CUE and WUE in Central Asia from 2001...
Genetic Polymorphism of Y-Chromosome in Turkmen Population from Turkmenistan
...
This study investigates the Y-chromosome genetic diversity of the Turkmen population in Turkmenistan, analyzing 23 Y-STR loci for the first time in a sample of 100 individuals. Combined with comparative data from Turkmen populations in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Russia, and Uzbekistan, this analysis offers insights into the genetic structure and rela...
