Genetic enhancement of reproductive stage drought tolerance in RPHR-1005R and derivative rice hybrids through marker-assisted backcross breeding in rice (Oryza sativa L.).

Background: Drought stress is considered as one of the major production constraints in rice. RPHR-1005R is a restorer line (R-Line) with a popular, medium-slender grain type, and is the male parent of the popular Indian rice hybrid, DRR-H3. However, both the hybrid and its restorer are highly vulnerable to the drought stress, which limits the adoption of the hybrid.

Leflunomide as adjunct therapy for BK viremia management in pediatric kidney transplant recipients.

Background: BK viremia after kidney transplantation (KT) poses significant risk for BK virus-associated nephropathy and impacts graft survival. Conventional treatment involves reduction of immunosuppression, which in turn may increase risk for rejection. To address this dilemma, use of anti-viral therapy with immunosuppressive properties such as leflunomide is an attractive option.

Comparative evaluation of condylar guidance obtained by three different interocclusal recording materials in a semi-adjustable articulator and digital panoramic radiographic images in dentate patients: An study.

Aim: The Aim of the study was to evaluate the reproducibility of condylar inclination values obtained using three different interocclusal recording materials in Hanau Wide-Vue semi-adjustable articulator and to compare those values of condylar inclination with panoramic radiographic images.

Settings And Design: In Vivo Comparative study.

Materials And Methods: The clinical trial was carried out in the Department of Prosthodontics, M.

STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL MACULAR CHANGES AFTER RETINECTOMY FOR RETINAL DETACHMENT COMPLICATED BY PROLIFERATIVE VITREORETINOPATHY.

Purpose: To report anatomical and functional outcomes of nonprimary retinectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with Grade C proliferative vitreoretinopathy, to assess the structural and functional macular changes in successful eyes.

Methods: Retrospective single-center cohort study: one hundred-one consecutive retinectomies of 101 eyes affected by rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with C proliferative vitreoretinopathy between January 2014 and February 2020 were included.

Results: The mean preoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 1.
