Trends in global and regional incidence and prevalence of hypertensive disordersin pregnancy (1990-2021): an age-period-cohort analysis.

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are significant global health issues. This study utilized data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 to analyze trends in incidence, prevalence, and Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALY) associated with HDP across 204 countries from 1990 to 2021. The analysis employed estimated annual percentage changes and an age-period-cohort model, stratifying data by age, year, geographical region, and sociodemographic index (SDI).

Peroxidase 4-Based Enzymatic Synthesis of Stilbene Oligomers in Methyl Jasmonate-Elicited Grapevine Cell Suspensions.

Stilbenes are specialized metabolites that are particularly abundant in species. Although the biosynthetic pathways of stilbenes have been well-characterized, the role of specific peroxidases in stilbene oligomerization remains to be investigated. In this study, we used grapevine cell cultures to characterize the functional role of peroxidase 4 (VvPRX4) in the production of resveratrol oligomers after elicitation with methyl jasmonate (MeJA).

Whole-genome automated assembly pipeline for strains from reference, and clinical samples using the integrated CtGAP pipeline.

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is pivotal for the molecular characterization of ()-the leading bacterial cause of sexually transmitted infections and infectious blindness worldwide. WGS can inform epidemiologic, public health and outbreak investigations of these human-restricted pathogens. However, challenges persist in generating high-quality genomes for downstream analyses given its obligate intracellular nature and difficulty with propagation.

Microscopic Techniques for Nanomaterials Characterization: A Concise Review.

Nanomaterials have been gaining interest due to their remarkable properties at the nanoscale. The surface area of particles becomes high at the nanoscale because of this virtue, they have been used in a bundle of applications like electronics, biomedical, agriculture, wastewater treatment, semiconductor industry, cosmetics, drug delivery, paints, and so forth. The morphology (size and shape) of nanomaterials plays an important role because each application requires the appropriate morphology for better performance.

Identification and Molecular Characterization of Telosma Mosaic Virus (TelMV) and East Asian Passiflora Virus (EAPV) from Patchouli in China.

Patchouli is a valuable medicinal herb and cash crop in China, but viral infections cause significant yield losses. This study identified six viruses in patchouli transcriptome data, including the first-ever detection of East Asian Passiflora Virus (EAPV) in patchouli. RT-PCR validated three viruses from diseased patchouli plants in Haikou, China: telosma tosaic virus (TelMV), broad bean wilt virus-2 (BBWV-2), and pogostemom alphacytorhabdovirus 1 (PogACRV1_Pog).
