Identification of novel sources and genetic mapping for Bacterial Leaf Streak resistance in a geographically diverse panel of wheat.

Bacterial leaf streak (BLS), caused by pv. (), has recently emerged as a significant threat to wheat production in the Northern Great Plains region of the US. Deploying resistant cultivars is an economical and practical method of controlling BLS.

tumor imaging of pre-clinical models via reflection-mode measurements of circular degree of polarization.

Significance: Tumor tissues exhibit contrast with healthy tissue in circular degree of polarization (DOP) images via higher magnitude circular DOP values and increased helicity-flipping. This phenomenon may enable polarimetric tumor detection and surgical/procedural guidance applications.

Aim: Depolarization metrics have been shown to exhibit differential responses to healthy and cancer tissue, whereby tumor tissues tend to induce less depolarization; however, the understanding of this depolarization-based contrast remains limited.

Lead Toxicity: A Case Report of a Rare and Potentially Underdiagnosed Condition in Nepal.

Lead poisoning is rare, but easily missed, with the highest burden of disease occurring in low-to-middle income countries. However, when diagnosed, appropriate treatment can prevent long-term morbidity. A case is presented, reinforcing the importance of thorough history-taking and international guidelines in successful treatment.

Lymphoma driver mutations at the root of somatic evolution of nerve-damaging autoantibodies in myelin associated glycoprotein neuropathy.

Background: In autoimmune disease it is not understood how self-reactive B cells escape immune tolerance checkpoints to produce pathogenic autoantibodies.

Objective: In patients with demyelinating polyneuropathy caused by IgM autoantibodies against myelin associated glycoprotein (MAG) and the sulphated trisaccharide CD57, we aimed to test the hypothesis that B cells making the autoantibody escaped tolerance by acquiring lymphoma driver somatic mutations.

Methods: Deep single-cell RNA, DNA, flow cytometric and antibody specificity analysis of blood from three patients with MAG neuropathy.

Influence of Dietary Habits and Lifestyle Practices on the Health and Well-Being of University Students: A Survey Investigation.

Background: Modern lifestyle trends, characterized by sedentary behaviours and poor dietary choices, have a negative impact on the physical and mental health of university students at graduation and post-graduation levels. This study aims to investigate the influence of outdoor activities, dietary habits, psychological wellbeing, physical activities, sleep patterns, and bad habits on the lifestyle of university students in India, with a focus on identifying significant differences in these habits among students and exploring the potential benefits of yoga and naturopathy in improving their overall health.

Methods: An online, survey study was conducted among 710 university students using a self-administered Google Form questionnaire.
