An experiment was conducted comprising of six corn hybrids that were subjected to drought and irrigated environment in separate columns in soil-plant-atmosphere-research (SPAR) cubes. The treatments and hybrids in SPAR cubes were replicated four times and a two factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD) was used to analyze the effect of drought on hybrids and their effects on traits. Significant drought × hybrid interactions were observed for most of the parameters.

- This study explored how individuals with complete heart block (CHB) may experience anterior pituitary hormone dysfunction, particularly hypopituitarism, after receiving a pacemaker.
- The research included 30 participants and assessed various hormone levels over a follow-up period of about 12 months, discovering that nearly a third exhibited hormone deficiencies.
- The findings suggest that a significant number of individuals with CHB may suffer from unrecognized hypopituitarism, which could lead to serious health implications.
Background: Left ventricular ejection fraction falls when the myocardium has already lost a significant portion of its functional capacity. There are conflicting data on whether diastolic dysfunction precedes systolic dysfunction after cardiotoxic chemotherapy. We aimed to study systolic and diastolic dysfunction after cardiotoxic chemotherapy and whether diastolic dysfunction can predict subsequent risk of systolic dysfunction.

The results of the GC-MS analysis revealed significant differences in the essential oil content.

- The study investigates the effectiveness of office versus ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in managing treated hypertensive patients.
- A total of 561 patients were analyzed, revealing that 16.2% had white coat hypertension and 17.4% had masked uncontrolled hypertension despite appearing controlled in the office.
- The findings suggest that ambulatory BP monitoring is crucial for better management and control of blood pressure in treated hypertensive patients, as office readings may not be reliable.
Objective: To compare the safety and efficacy of valsartan/sacubitril (angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor [ARNI]) against enalapril (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor [ACEI]) in patients with acute heart failure at 6-month follow-up.
Methods: In this prospective, single centre, and observational study conducted between September 2017 and February 2020 in India, patients with acute decompensated heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (<40%) were included. Patients were divided in two groups: valsartan/sacubitril (ARNI) group and enalapril (ACEI).
Autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1 (APS1) - characterized by the triad of mucocutaneous candidiasis, hypoparathyroidism, and primary adrenal insufficiency - is an uncommon entity. In this case report we describe the case of a young girl who presented with classic features of APS1 and dilated cardiomyopathy, which were missed during her presentation to the children's hospital. Her condition improved only when appropriate replacement therapy in the form of calcium, calcitriol and hydrocortisone was instituted.
