Article Abstract

Air displacement plethysmography (ADP) has been widely utilised to track body composition because it is considered to be practical, reliable, and valid. Pea Pod is the infant version of ADP that accommodates infants up to the age of 6 months and has been widely utilised to assess the body composition of full-term infants, and more recently pre-term infants. The primary goal of this comprehensive review is to 1) discuss the accuracy/reproducibility of Pea Pod in both full- and pre-term infants, 2) highlight and discuss practical challenges and potential sources of measurement errors in relation to Pea Pod operating principles, and 3) make suggestions for future research direction to overcome the identified limitations.

QuEChERS method of extraction followed by detection with Liquid Chromatograph Mass spectrometry was carried out to determine persistence of tetraniliprole and its metabolite in pigeon pea. The mean recovery of tetraniliprole and its metabolite BCS-CQ 63359 in immature and mature pods, seeds and grains of pigeon pea and soil were in the range of 76.38-105.

Drought stress significantly reduces the crop productivity, including pea ( L.), 'necessitating development of effective strategies to mitigate these losses under changing climatic conditions. This study explores the potential of foliar-applied gibberellic acid (GA) and brassinolide (BR), individually and in combination, to enhance the drought resilience in pea plants.

Heat stress is the most significant environmental constraint on pea production, and heat tolerance mechanisms are mediated through a variety of pathways. Pea (Pisum sativum L.) cultivar Arka Chaitra (AC) is considered a heat tolerant variety, whereas cultivar Matar Ageta (MA) is heat sensitive.

Peritoneal hydatidosis, usually secondary to hepatic or splenic hydatidosis, is rarely primary and is reported even less with ongoing pregnancy. We present the case of a multiparous woman in her 30s, currently in the third trimester of pregnancy, presenting for routine screening, showing multiple cystic masses that were revealed to unexpectedly be a giant hydatid cyst on imaging evaluation as a part of the work-up for ovarian mass. Following spontaneous labour, an emergency caesarean section and exploratory laparotomy were performed, revealing over 400 cysts, which were confirmed as hydatid cysts through histopathological examination.

The continued effective control of retroviral infection will no doubt require the development of new clinical interventions targeting underexploited areas of retroviral biology such as genome selection and virion assembly. In our previous work, we demonstrated that both the Gag-psi (Ψ) interaction and genomic RNA (gRNA) dimerization each uniquely contribute to the formation, morphology, and stability of RSV Gag-viral RNA (vRNA) biomolecular condensates (BMCs). The present work builds upon those observations, utilizing atomic force microscopy (AFM) and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) to elucidate the nanoscale morphology, resistance to mechanical deformation, and constituent diffusivity of RSV Gag-vRNA BMCs.
