A novel functional screening method for generation of a synthetic microbial community: Case study with control of Fusarium wilt in pigeonpea.

Conventional methods to combat phytopathogens have ecological implications: chemical fertilizers pollute the environment, while bioinoculants are often inconsistent under field conditions. Microbiome-assisted rhizosphere engineering aims to re-structure the rhizosphere microbiome to promote plant growth and/or mitigate stress. This study employs a strategy based on rhizosphere engineering to combat stress caused by Fusarium udum in Cajanus cajan, by generating synthetic microbial communities (SMCs).

Effect of different pHs and liquid-to-solid ratios on leaching behavior of heavy metals from landfill-mined-soil-like-fractions.

The potential reuse of landfill-mined-soil-like-fractions (LFMSF), a significant by-product of landfill mining (LFM), is restricted due to the leaching of heavy metals (HMs). In this context, the present study assesses the leaching behavior of six HMs, i.e.

Traumatogenic Occlusion in a Pediatric Dental Patient: A Case Report.

Aim And Objective: This case report aims to describe the management of mandibular anterior teeth subjected to occlusal trauma.

Background: Occlusal trauma occurs as a result of reduced ability of the tissues to resist the occlusal forces most likely as a result of masticatory system dysfunction abnormal contact of the teeth, and prosthetic or orthodontic treatments that create occlusal interferences.

Case Description: This paper describes a case of traumatogenic occlusion seen in the dentition of a 13-year-old female patient and its management by stabilization, endodontic, and orthodontic therapy.

Inhibiting spinal secretory phospholipase A after painful nerve root injury attenuates established pain and spinal neuronal hyperexcitability by altering spinal glutamatergic signaling.

Neuropathic injury is accompanied by chronic inflammation contributing to the onset and maintenance of pain after an initial insult. In addition to their roles in promoting immune cell activation, inflammatory mediators like secretory phospholipase A (sPLA) modulate nociceptive and excitatory neuronal signaling during the initiation of pain through hydrolytic activity. Despite having a known role in glial activation and cytokine release, it is unknown if sPLA contributes to the maintenance of painful neuropathy and spinal hyperexcitability later after neural injury.

Synthetic Secoisolariciresinol Diglucoside Attenuates Established Pain, Oxidative Stress and Neuroinflammation in a Rodent Model of Painful Radiculopathy.

Painful cervical radiculopathy is characterized by chronic neuroinflammation that lowers endogenous antioxidant responses leading to the development of oxidative stress and pain after neural trauma. Therefore, antioxidants such as secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG), that promote antioxidant signaling and reduce oxidative damage may also provide pain relief. This study investigated if repeated systemic administration of synthetic SDG after a painful root compression reduces the established pain, oxidative stress and spinal glial activation that are typically evident.
