Altered olfactory responses in Fmr1 KO mice.

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder oftentimes associated with abnormal social behaviors and altered sensory responsiveness. It is hypothesized that the inappropriate filtering of sensory stimuli, including olfaction, can lead to aberrant social behavior in FXS. However, previous studies investigating olfaction in animal models of FXS have shown inconsistent results.

Fingerprint resemblance amongst siblings and non-siblings - Forensic and anthropological implications.

Fingerprints hold a crucial position in forensic science, primarily for identification purposes, with thumbprints emerging as the most frequently recovered evidence at crime scenes. The main purpose of the present study was to conduct a comparative analysis of thumbprints of siblings and non-sibling pairs to investigate resemblance and similarities in fingerprint patterns. Thumbprints of 144 individuals (72 siblings and 72 non-siblings) from 36 families were obtained.

Drug Repurposing: A Conduit to Unravelling Metabolic Reprogramming for Cancer Treatment.

Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer. Distinct and unusual metabolic aberrations occur during tumor development that lead to the growth and development of tumors. Oncogenic signaling pathways eventually converge to regulate three major metabolic pathways in tumor cells i.

Generalized arterial calcification of infancy - Fetal diagnosis to postnatal management.

Generalized arterial calcification of infancy is a rare entity with poor fetal and postnatal outcomes and high morbidity in survivors. Half of the cases are diagnosed intrauterine due to hemodynamic compromise, and the associated manifestations pose unique management challenges. We hereby report an account of a fetal diagnosis in a referral for hydrops with postnatal evaluation and management.

Diagnosing anaemia via smartphone colorimetry of the eye in a population of pregnant women.

Objective Screening for disease using a smartphone camera is an emerging tool for conditions such as jaundice and anaemia, which are associated with a colour change (yellowing in jaundice; pallor in anaemia) of the external tissues. Based on this, we aimed to test a technique to non-invasively screen for anaemia in a population highly affected by anaemia: pregnant women in India. In this group, anaemia can have severe health consequences for both the mother and child.
