Article Synopsis
  • * A study tested the impact of a methane-derived microbial biostimulant on rice fields, focusing on its effects on grain yield and greenhouse gas emissions over three growing seasons.
  • * Results showed a grain yield increase of up to 39% and reductions in methane and nitrous oxide emissions by 31%-60% and 34%-50%, respectively, indicating the biostimulant improved crop physiology and development.

Tumor budding (TB) and poorly differentiated clusters (PDCs) are well-established prognostic factors in various cancers. This study aimed to assess the independent prognostic role of these markers in endometrial carcinomas. Retrospective analysis of endometrial carcinoma resection specimens by examining traditional histologic prognostic parameters.

Unlabelled: Placental abnormalities can precipitate preterm birth (PTB), a principal contributor to neonatal morbidity and mortality. This study targets understanding placental variations among different gestational age-based categories of PTB.

Methods: A three-year retrospective study conducted a detailed clinicopathological analysis of PTB placentas categorized by gestational age: extremely preterm (EPTB,<28 weeks), very preterm (VPTB, 28 to 31 + 6 weeks), moderate preterm (MPTB, 32 to 33 + 6 weeks), and late preterm (LPTB, 34 to 36 + 6 weeks).

Article Synopsis
  • Lichen planus (LP) and lichen sclerosus (LS) are common skin conditions affecting the vulva, but they can be challenging to diagnose due to different appearances and biopsy sizes.
  • This study reviewed cases from 2012 to 2022, analyzing clinical details like age, symptoms, and biopsy results to differentiate between LP and LS.
  • The findings revealed distinct clinical features and histopathological characteristics for each condition, highlighting that while classic LS is easier to identify, some atypical cases can resemble LP, emphasizing the importance of careful examination for accurate diagnosis.

Studies on chromosomal status are a fundamental aspect of plant cytogenetics and breeding because changes in number, size, and shape of chromosomes determine plant physiology/performance. Despite its significance, the classical cytogenetic study is now frequently avoided because of its tedious job. In general, root meristems are used to study the mitotic chromosome number, even though the use of root tips was restricted because of sample availability, processing, and lack of standard protocols.
