An Observational Study on Cosmetics Use-related Adverse Effects: Cosmetovigilance Need of the Day.

Introduction: The pursuit of aesthetic attractiveness and increased awareness have contributed significantly to the growth of the cosmetic industry. However, it is crucial to recognize that even the minimal use of cosmetics may have harmful consequences for both the overall well-being and the broader community, an issue that has yet to be adequately recognized or addressed.

Objective: This study is aimed at providing insights into the usage pattern of consumer behavior regarding skin care products and to assess the prevalence and determinants of cosmetic-related adverse events among the general populace.

AMMI and GGE biplot analysis of yield under terminal heat tolerance in wheat.

Background: Wheat is an important cereal crop that helps to meet the food grain needs of people all over the world. Heat stress is one of the most significant abiotic stresses that wheat crops face during terminal growth stages in the wheat growing regions like India. It is very important to identify heat tolerant genotypes to be used as donors for breeding tolerant varieties.

Adverse Event Following Immunization (AEFI) in Children: An Analysis of Reporting in VigiAccess.

Introduction: It is an indubitable fact that vaccination has been instrumental in the eradication and prevention of the deadliest diseases worldwide. Continuous vaccine safety surveillance is helpful to counter the negative perception and thus allay the fear of Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) in the general public. VigiAccess, the WHO global database of reported side effects of medicinal products, can be accessed by the public at large.

Identification and development of novel salt-responsive candidate gene based SSRs (cg-SSRs) and MIR gene based SSRs (mir-SSRs) in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum).

Salt stress adversely affects the global wheat production and productivity. To improve salinity tolerance of crops, identification of robust molecular markers is highly imperative for development of salt-tolerant cultivars to mimic yield losses under saline conditions. In this study, we mined 171 salt-responsive genes (including 10 miRNAs) from bread wheat genome using the sequence information of functionally validated salt-responsive rice genes.

Development and validation of heat-responsive candidate gene and miRNA gene based SSR markers to analysis genetic diversity in wheat for heat tolerance breeding.

Being a major staple food crop of the world, wheat provides nutritional food security to the global populations. Heat stress is a major abiotic stress that adversely affects wheat production throughout the world including Indo-Gangatic Plains (IGP) where four wheat growing countries viz., India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan produce 42% of the total wheat production.
