Objectives: The burden of advanced and metastatic cancer is high among children in developing countries, and palliative care (PC) services for children are sparsely available and poorly accessed. To estimate the burden of PC requirements in children with metastatic neuroblastoma (NB), and to evaluate the PC services offered.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective analysis of case records of children 1-14 years diagnosed with metastatic NB from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2017.

The differential compatibility responses of sugarcane to Colletotrichum falcatum pathotypes depend on the nature of both host primary defence signalling cascades and pathogen virulence. The complex polyploidy of sugarcane genome and genetic variations in different cultivars of sugarcane remain a challenge to identify and characterise specific genes controlling the compatible and incompatible interactions between sugarcane and the red rot pathogen, Colletotrichum falcatum. To avoid host background variation in the interaction study, suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH)-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology was used in a sugarcane cultivar Co 7805 which is compatible with one C.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the ascomycete pathogen that causes red rot in sugarcane and its enzymes that break down plant cell walls, enabling infection.
  • Comparative transcriptome analysis identified specific CAZy genes involved in producing cellulolytic and pectinolytic enzymes in two pathotypes of the pathogen, revealing significant differences in virulence.
  • The findings highlight the importance of certain enzymes and genes in sugarcane cell wall degradation, providing new insights into the pathogen's mechanisms of infection.

an intriguing pathogen causing red rot in sugarcane, exhibits enormous variation for pathogenicity under field conditions. A species-specific marker is very much needed to classify the virulence among the varying population and to identify the potential of a pathotype by mining the microsatellites, which are considered to be the largest genetic source to develop molecular markers for an organism. In this study, we have mined the genome using MISA database which yielded 12,121 SSRs from 48.
