De Novo Mining and Validating Novel Microsatellite Markers to Assess Genetic Diversity in (F.), a Legume Pod Borer.

(Fabricius) is an invasive insect pest capable of causing enormous economic losses to a broad spectrum of leguminous crops. Microsatellites are valuable molecular markers for population genetic studies; however, an inadequate number of microsatellite loci are available to carry out population association studies. Thus, we utilized this insect's public domain databases for mining expressed sequence tags (EST)-derived microsatellite markers.

Missile embolisation to the right common femoral artery following thoracic injury, without any conspicuous source of entry.

Unlabelled: Embolisation of a projectile metallic body in the arterial system is not an unusual entity and has been reported off and on, in literature. We report the successful treatment and survival of a patient with thoracic injury, with a metallic projectile embolisation to the right common femoral artery and acute limb ischemia. Curiously, there was no identifiable entry point, on multiple imaging.

Mitral Valve Replacement with Total Chordal Preservation: The Eversion Technique.

The preservation of the subvalvular apparatus during mitral valve replacement is necessary to maintain the geometry and function of the left ventricle. Although several complete or partial chordal preservation methods have been described, some continue to preserve only the posterior chordal attachments. This is due to a fear of possible patient prosthetic valve mismatch with many well-known chordal preservation techniques.

Early outcomes after the on pump bidirectional Glenn procedure: A single center experience.

Objective: Bidirectional Glenn procedure is a staged palliative procedure for patients with the univentricular hearts or complex congenital heart disease. We in our study, attempted to evaluate the preoperative characteristics, operative data and the early postoperative outcomes in the patients who underwent Bidirectional Glenn procedure at our center.

Methods: In our single center retrospective experience, 115 patients underwent Bidirectional Glenn procedure from January 2015 to December 2019.

Validation of SSR markers associated with rust (Uromyces fabae) resistance in pea (Pisum sativum L.).

Pea rust is a devastating disease of peas especially in the sub-tropical regions of the world and greatly influenced by the environmental conditions during disease development. Molecular markers associated with pea rust resistance would be useful in marker assisted selection (MAS). Utility of molecular markers associated with the pea rust resistance were evaluated in 30 diverse pea genotypes using four SSR markers (AA446 and AA505 flanking the major QTL Qruf; AD146 and AA416 flanking the minor QTL, Qruf1).

Molecular mapping for resistance to pea rust caused by Uromyces fabae (Pers.) de-Bary.

Pea rust caused by Uromyces fabae (Pers.) de-Bary is a major problem in warm humid regions causing huge economic losses. A mapping population of 136 F(6:7) recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from the cross between pea genotypes, HUVP 1 (susceptible) and FC 1 (resistant) was evaluated in polyhouse as well as under field conditions during two consecutive years.
