Rationale of restaging transurethral resection of bladder tumor in patients with nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer in the current era.

Background: We present retrospective data of patients with nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who underwent restaging transurethral resection of bladder tumor (Re-TURBT) at a tertiary care center.

Materials And Methods: Records of all NMIBC patients undergoing Re-TURBT between March 2021 and September 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were risk stratified based on TURBT pathology.

Photoperiodic control of growth and reproduction in non-flowering plants.

Photoperiodic responses shape the plant fitness to the changing environment and are important regulators of growth, development and productivity. Photoperiod sensing is one of the most important cues to track seasonal variations. It is also a major cue for reproductive success.

Association of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) with nasopharyngeal carcinoma: Experience from a North Indian tertiary care hospital.

Introduction: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), arising from nasopharyngeal epithelium is caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). It is common in South China, South East Asia and North East India. The aim and objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of EBV in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections of clinically suspected NPC patients, correlate the results of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with histopathology findings, and to determine the utility of tissue EBV DNA as a diagnostic bio-marker.
