Bednar's tumor at right shoulder in an adult male: a case report of a rare entity.

Introduction And Importance: Bednar tumor, a rare variant of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a tumor with low malignant potential. Owing to limited studies, the pathogenesis and risk factor of this tumor are not clearly understood. The tumor extends from the epidermis to the dermal layers and even affects the surrounding bone.

Valorization of waste biomass for synthesis of carboxy-methyl-cellulose as a sustainable edible coating on fruits: A review.

The coating on fruits and vegetables increases the shelf-life by providing protection against their spoilage. The existing petroleum-based coating materials have considerable health threats. Edible coating materials prepared with the cellulose derivative extracted from the waste biomass could be a sustainable alternative and environment friendly process to increase the shelf-life periods of the post-harvest crops.

Expression of miR-145 and miR-18b in Peripheral Blood Samples of Head and Neck Cancer Patients.

Unlabelled: Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) is one of the most prevalent type of cancer known in Indian population. Studies are needed to identify the early biomarkers for HNSCC. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNA molecules, expression of which can be used as biomarker for early diagnosis of HNSCC.

Seasonal Patterns of Oestrus and Reproduction in Street Dogs of Indian Cities.

Understanding seasonal breeding dynamics is essential for maximizing efficiency and welfare in the application of street dog management programs. Humane Society International (HSI) has conducted many animal birth control programmes concerning the street dog populations in urban India. This paper analyses the data on reproductive indicators-oestrus, pregnancy, and pups-collected by HSI sterilization clinics in the cities of Jamshedpur, Dehradun, and Vadodara over a period of 3, 5, and 4 years, respectively.

First report of Klebsiella aerogenes Inciting Stem Rot of Pearl Millet in Haryana, India.

Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.

Identification of heterotic groups in South-Asian-bred hybrid parents of pearl millet.

Pearl millet breeding programs can use this heterotic group information on seed and restorer parents to generate new series of pearl millet hybrids having higher yields than the existing hybrids. Five hundred and eighty hybrid parents, 320 R- and 260 B-lines, derived from 6 pearl millet breeding programs in India, genotyped following RAD-GBS (about 0.9 million SNPs) clustered into 12 R- and 7 B-line groups.

Refractive outcomes of cataract surgery in primary congenital glaucoma.

Aim: To evaluate refractive outcomes of cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in operated eyes of primary congenital glaucoma (PCG).

Design: A retrospective case-control study.

Methods: Patients of PCG who developed cataract following trabeculectomy with trabeculotomy were recruited.

Phenotypic Data from Inbred Parents Can Improve Genomic Prediction in Pearl Millet Hybrids.

Pearl millet is a non-model grain and fodder crop adapted to extremely hot and dry environments globally. In India, a great deal of public and private sectors' investment has focused on developing pearl millet single cross hybrids based on the cytoplasmic-genetic male sterility (CMS) system, while in Africa most pearl millet production relies on open pollinated varieties. Pearl millet lines were phenotyped for both the inbred parents and hybrids stage.

Effect of acetyl esterification on physicochemical properties of chick pea (Cicer arietinum L.) starch.

Acetyl esterification of isolated Bengal gram starch was carried out using acetic anhydride as reactant. Modification of native starch at variant concentrations of acetic anhydride (6, 8 and 10 %, w/w) resulted in modified starch with 2.14, 3.

Outcomes of primary stenting for acute myocardial infarction.

Primary coronary stenting is being increasingly used in patients undergoing primary coronary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction. In this prospective study we analysed our experience of direct angioplasty in 76 patients with acute myocardial infarction of whom 65 received intracoronary stents using high pressure deployment (> or = 12 atm) with adjunctive aspirin and ticlopidine therapy but without coumadin. All patients underwent pre-discharge angiography.
