A machine learning approach for significant utilization of high-ash Indian coals by metal chloride modification.

A continuous and dependable energy supply is essential for maintaining a nation's economic stability. Globally, coal ranks as the second largest fossil fuel resource after oil and gas, leading to the establishment of coal-fired power infrastructure. Nonetheless, the pyrolysis and "burn-out" reactions of High-ash coal impose fundamental limitations that hinder its efficient use and exacerbate environmental degradation.

Quantitative and qualitative imaging in marijuana users and smokers.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of marijuana use compared to cigarette smoking on imaging findings in the lungs.

Methods: By searching the electronic medical record, we identified patients who were marijuana users who never smoked; current smokers; and non-marijuana never smokers, who underwent chest CT in our healthcare system in 2019. We generated a random sample of 100 marijuana users as well as 100 each age- and sex-matched controls from the current smoker and never-smoker groups.

Sporophyte-directed gametogenesis in Arabidopsis.

Plants alternate between diploid sporophyte and haploid gametophyte generations. In mosses, which retain features of ancestral land plants, the gametophyte is dominant and has an independent existence. However, in flowering plants the gametophyte has undergone evolutionary reduction to just a few cells enclosed within the sporophyte.

Exploring anticancer, antioxidant, and antimicrobial potential of , a fungal endophyte isolated from leaf callus.

Background: Endophytic fungi represent a compelling assemblage of microorganisms that inhabit plant tissues without inflicting any discernible detriment to the host organism. They foster a symbiotic association with their host plants, frequently conferring advantages such as augmented growth, enhanced resilience to stressors, and safeguarding against pathogens.

Study Design: is a medicinal tree of Dilleniaceae.

Role of bacterial quorum sensing in plant growth promotion.

Quorum sensing (QS) also known as bacterial cell-cell communication or bacterial crosstalk is a phenomenon regulating various bacterial traits that can affect plant growth and defence. Similarities in the structure of root exudates and bacterial signalling molecules have tremendous implications governing the plant heath. The rhizosphere ecosystem being an excellent example of plant-microbe and microbe-microbe interactions harbours a variety of microorganisms exhibiting quorum sensing.

Ultrafast power doppler ultrasound enables longitudinal tracking of vascular changes that correlate with immune response after radiotherapy.

While immunotherapy shows great promise in patients with triple negative breast cancer, many will not respond to treatment. Radiotherapy has the potential to prime the tumor-immune microenvironment for immunotherapy. However, predicting response is difficult due to tumor heterogeneity across patients, which necessitates personalized medicine strategies that incorporate tumor tracking into the therapeutic approach.

Mechanistic studies on bioremediation of dye using Aeromonas veronii immobilized peanut shell biochar.

Recalcitrant chemicals in the environment not only present obstacles to living organisms but also contribute to the degradation of natural resources. One contribution to environmental pollution is the discharge of synthetic dyes from the textile sector. This study investigates the combined effect of microbial cells and biochar on eliminating methyl orange (MO) dye.

A Quantitative Assessment of Apoptotic Index with Varying Histological Degree of Dysplasia and Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Oral Cavity - A Light Microscopic Study.

Aim And Objective: The aim of the present study was to quantitatively assess the apoptotic index at a light microscopic level in hyperkeratosis with varying histological degrees of dysplasia and different grades of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and its correlation with prognostic significance.

Study Design: The study included the histo-pathologically diagnosed cases of hyperkeratosis with varying degrees of dysplasia and different grades of OSCC, which were retrieved from the archives of the department, and clinical details were retrieved from the case records of the patients. The sample size consisted of 80 biopsied cases, divided into seven groups of 10 experimental cases and one group of 10 cases of normal mucosa as a control group.

A case of contained rupture of the superior mesenteric artery with no distal flow causing mesenteric ischemia following double heart valve replacement surgery.

A visceral artery aneurysm (VAA) is a very rare and lethal vascular anomaly with dramatic consequences. The overall incidence of VAA is 5% of all abdominal artery aneurysms. The involvement of the superior mesenteric artery is even rare (incidence of 3.

Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation of spleen: A rare case report.

Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) is a reactive non-neoplastic, rare vascular lesion of the spleen. The histology shows multiple angiomatoid nodules surrounded by proliferative stroma. A 31-year-old lady presented with an abdominal mass for 6 months.

Renal Collision Tumor: A Case of Small Cell Lung Cancer Metastasis to Renal Angiomyolipoma.

An all-ultrasound cranial imaging method to establish the relationship between cranial FUS incidence angle and transcranial attenuation in non-human primates in 3D.

Focused ultrasound (FUS) is a non-invasive and non-ionizing technique which deploys ultrasound waves to induce bio-effects. When paired with acoustically active particles such as microbubbles (MBs), it can open the blood brain barrier (BBB) to facilitate drug delivery otherwise inhibited due to the presence of BBB. One of the parameters that affects the FUS beam propagation is the beam incidence angle on the skull.

Synchronous Occurrence of Adult Granulosa Cell Tumor with Fibroma in One Ovary and Brenner Tumor in Other Ovary: An Extremely Unusual Case.

Ovarian tumors are a common form of neoplasia in women and it accounts for about 30% of female genital cancers. A coexistence of ovarian tumors with the same histogenetic origin such as germ cell or epithelial or sex cord stromal, but different histologic subtype is relatively common, whereas a synchronous occurrence of tumors with different histogenetic origin is rare. We report a case of 58-year-old woman with the synchronous presentation of adult granulosa cell tumor with fibroma (ovarian tumors with the same origin (sex cord stromal) but different histologic type) in one ovary and Brenner tumor (epithelial origin) in other ovary.
