A station-based 0.1-degree daily gridded ensemble precipitation dataset for India.

Gridded precipitation products are inherently uncertain and predominantly deterministic, which limits their applicability in data assimilation systems and hydrologic modeling. This limitation is significant in developing countries such as India, where the observation network is sparse and non-uniform, topography is complex, and hydrometeorological extremes are frequent. The current official 0.

3D modeling to predict vascular involvement in resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Background: Current management of patients with borderline resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma (BR-PDAC) depends on the degree of involvement of the major arterial and venous structures. The aim of this study was to evaluate 3D segmentation and printing to predict tumor size and vascular involvement of BR-PDAC to improve pre-operative planning of vascular resection and better select patients for neoadjuvant therapy.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 16 patients with BR-PDAC near vascular structures who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) with or without vascular resection between 2015 and 2021.

Evaluating the Efficacy of Topical Phenytoin in the Healing of Neuropathic Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Comparative Study.

Objective: This study aims to observe the outcomes of topical phenytoin treatment in healing neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers with mild infection and compare these outcomes with those obtained from conventional dressing methods.

Two groups were identified: (1) patients treated with topical phenytoin (for ulcers measuring less than 5 cm, a dosage of 100 mg was used; for ulcers measuring between 5 cm and 9 cm, a dosage of 150 mg was used; for ulcers measuring between 10 cm and 15 cm, a dosage of 200 mg was used; and for ulcers measuring greater than 15 cm, a dosage of 300 mg was used.

Effectiveness of video-assisted teaching on prevention of constipation among postpartum women admitted in postnatal ward at a tertiary care hospital: a randomised controlled trial.

Background: The postpartum period is a vital phase for a mother as she undergoes a role transition in her life, in addition to physiological changes. Among all discomforts experienced during this period, constipation is more common and it can cause lifelong complications such as haemorrhoids, rectal prolapse and anal fissures if left untreated. Adequate care, education and compliance with proper postpartum diet and exercise can prevent it.

Defluoridation of potable water employed by natural polysaccharide isolated from Tamarindus indica L.

The current study evaluated the effectiveness of Tamarindus indica L. seed polysaccharides in removing fluoride from potable water collected from Sivakasi,Viruthunagar district, Tamil Nadu, India. The physiochemical properties of the water samples were examined, and each parameter was compared to the standard prescribed by Bureau of Indian standards.

Inorganic nanorods direct neuronal differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells and are considered a potential source for tissue and organ repair due to their self-renewal, proliferation, and differentiation abilities. However, in most cases, MSCs are needed to be stimulated with external growth factors to promote their proliferation and differentiation. Over the past decade, it has been demonstrated that nanomaterials could facilitate MSC proliferation and differentiation, and excellent efforts are carried out to investigate their possible modulating pattern and mechanisms for MSC differentiation.

Clear Cell Hidradenoma in a Pregnant Female.

Solid cystic hidradenoma, or clear cell hidradenoma, is a distinct and histologically rare tumor formed at the sweat glands, found mainly in adults and majorly among women. In this case, a 26-year-old female presented with asymptomatic swelling in her left inguinal area. Similar cases have been discussed in the literature considering the same kind of tumor.

Comparative transcriptome analysis, unfolding the pathways regulating the seed-size trait in cultivated lentil ( Medik.).

Market class, cooking time, quality, and milled grain yield are largely influenced by the seed size and shape of the lentil ( Medik.); thus, they are considered to be important quality traits. To unfold the pathways regulating seed size in lentils, a transcriptomic approach was performed using large-seeded (L4602) and small-seeded (L830) genotypes.

Olfactory nerve schwannoma: how human anatomy and electron microscopy can help to solve an intriguing scientific puzzle.

Schwannomas of the olfactory nerve are rare tumors: to the best of our knowledge, 56 cases have been previously reported. Here we describe a new patient presenting with an isolated olfactory schwannoma, highlighting the importance of multiple ancillary tests to approach the intracranial lesion of the anterior skull base, including electron microscopy. We also discuss the enigmatic origin of this entity, moving from the normal histology of the olfactory nerve compared to a peripheral nerve.

The Impact of BRCA1- and BRCA2 Mutations on Ovarian Reserve Status.

This study aimed to investigate whether female BRCA1- and BRCA2 mutation carriers have a reduced ovarian reserve status, based on serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels, antral follicle count (AFC) and ovarian response to ovarian hyperstimulation. A prospective, multinational cohort study was performed between October 2014 and December 2019. Normo-ovulatory women, aged 18-41 years old, applying for their first PGT-cycle for reason of a BRCA mutation (cases) or other genetic diseases unrelated to ovarian reserve (controls), were asked to participate.

Systems Approaches in the Common Metabolomics in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Rhabdomyosarcoma Cells: A Computational Approach.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common childhood malignancy. Rhabdomyosarcoma, on the other hand, is a rare type of malignancy which belongs to the primitive neuroectodermal family of tumors. The aim of the present study was to use computational methods in order to examine the similarities and differences of the two different tumors using two cell lines as a model, the T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia CCRF-CEM and rhabdomyosarcoma TE-671, and, in particular, similarities of the metabolic pathways utilized by two different cell types in vitro.

Source-dependent compositional changes in coconut flavoured liquid smoke and its application in traditional Indian smoked fishery products.

Smoking is an age-old food preservation method. Intense smoking results in deposition of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in food. Replacing traditional smoking practices with application of liquid smoke or smoke flavouring is proven to reduce the PAH content without adversely affecting flavour of the products.
