A dispensable SepIVA orthologue in Streptomyces venezuelae is associated with polar growth and not cell division.

Background: SepIVA has been reported to be an essential septation factor in Mycolicibacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is a coiled-coil protein with similarity to DivIVA, a protein necessary for polar growth in members of the phylum Actinomycetota. Orthologues of SepIVA are broadly distributed among actinomycetes, including in Streptomyces spp.

Metal Nanoparticles for Simultaneous Use in AC Magnetic Field Hyperthermia and Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are produced for both diagnosis and treatment due to their simultaneous availability in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic hyperthermia (MHT). Extensive investigations focus on developing MNPs for individual MHT or MRI applications, but the development of MNPs for theragnostic applications has received very little attention. In this study, through efficient examination of synthesis conditions such as metal precursors, reaction parameters, and solvent choices, we aimed to optimize MNP production for effective utilization for MHT and MRI simultaneously.

Recent Progresses in Development of Heterocyclic Compounds for Epilepsy Treatment: Key Research Highlights from 2019-2024.

Stress adaptive plasticity from introgression lines improves drought and heat stress tolerance in bread wheat ( L.).

is a D-genome donor of hexaploid wheat and is a potential source of genes for various biotic and abiotic stresses including heat and drought. In the present study, we used multi-stage evaluation technique to understand the effects of heat and drought stresses on derived introgression lines (ILs). Preliminary evaluation (during stage-I) of 369 ILs for various agronomic traits identified 59 agronomically superior ILs.

Three-dimensional evaluation of dentigerous cysts in the Turkish subpopulation.

Background: To investigate the radiological and demographic features, types, distribution, and treatment methods of dentigerous cysts (DC).

Methods: Panoramic radiographs and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of patients diagnosed with DC based on biopsy results between January 2020 and December 2023 were examined. In patients from different age groups, the numbers, types and locations, and radiological features of DCs, associated changes in surrounding tissues, and treatment methods used were reviewed.

Correlates of Urinary Tract Infections Among Women of Reproductive Age in India: A Systematic Review.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a significant health concern globally, with a pronounced impact on women's health in India. This systematic literature review aims to elucidate the factors associated with UTIs among women of reproductive age in India and focus on demographic, behavioral, and physiological factors to inform targeted public health and clinical interventions. A systematic literature search was conducted on PubMed and Google Scholar using specific MeSH terms and preferred reporting items for systematic literature reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to investigate the correlates of UTIs among Indian women.

Effectiveness of Ayurveda Intervention in the Management of Infertility: A Systematic Review.

Infertility is encountered as a stressful condition by couples worldwide, impacting not just their physical and mental well-being but also placing financial strain on them. Ayurvedic management provides a promising, cost-effective avenue for addressing infertility disorders and enhances the success rates of in vitro fertilization (IVF), especially after previous unsuccessful attempts. This study aims to enhance clinical evidence and expand the scope of Ayurvedic approaches for managing infertility.
