Introduction: There is growing incidence of postpartum stroke globally. We aim to assess the incidence rate, predicting factors and outcome of postpartum stroke in a middle income country. In one year long bidirectional study, patients with acute postpartum stroke developed within six weeks after delivery were cases compared to matched control group without stroke in 1:2 ratio.

Article Synopsis
  • * The R2R3-MYB gene family, a significant division of MYB TFs, was categorized into 27 subgroups based on phylogenetic and gene structure analysis.
  • * Research on quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) revealed that many CqR2R3-MYB genes are highly expressed in roots and stems under salt stress, suggesting their role in plant growth and resistance to abiotic stressors.

Water pollution due to organic compounds is of great concern and efforts are being made to develop efficient adsorbents for remediation of toxic pollutants. The development of new functionalized materials with increased performance is growing to meet the regulatory standards in response to public concerns for environment. In this study, an attempt has been made to investigate the influence of synthesis parameters like the reaction temperature, the surfactant-to-silica ratio and reaction time on the structural and textural properties of novel ordered mesoporous silica hybrids.

uver ninety percent or roaas anc nignways are pavea witn aspnait as it is less expensive, iexime and easy to construct and repair in comparison to concrete. The increasing effect of climatic change and cost of construction materials have forced to consider environment friendly methods to build roads. One economically feasible solution for achieving these objectives is use of enzyme soil stabilization.
