Acquired Ankyloblepharon Correction Using Ocular Surface and Tarsal Mucous Membrane Grafting in Cicatrizing Ocular Surface Diseases.

Purpose: To report the long-term surgical outcomes of acquired ankyloblepharon correction using mucous membrane graft.

Methods: Five eyes of 4 patients (median age, 19 years) with acquired ankyloblepharon were managed using eyelid splitting and mucous membrane graft anchored to the recti muscles on the bulbar surface in the respective quadrant and onto the bare tarsal surface. Outcome measures include a change in the palpebral fissure width, ability to fit scleral contact lenses, visual acuity, and cosmesis.

Peptidomics and molecular dynamics on bioactive peptides produced and characterized from the fermented whey of "Panchali" sheep of West India.

The study assessed the peptide production by using potent Lactiplantibacillus plantarum KGL3A (MG722814) culture to ferment the sheep milk for evaluation of α-glucosidase inhibition, ACE inhibition, α-amylase inhibition, & inhibiting lipase activities. The maximal ACE inhibitory, α-amylase, α-glucosidase, & lipase inhibiting actions were 71.69 %, 71.

Progress in genetic engineering and genome editing of peanuts: revealing the future of crop improvement.

Peanut ( L.), also known as groundnut, is cultivated globally and is a widely consumed oilseed crop. Its nutritional composition and abundance in lipids, proteins, vitamins, and essential mineral elements position it as a nutritious food in various forms across the globe, ranging from nuts and confections to peanut butter.

Antibiotic Resistance Dissemination and Mapping in the Environment Through Surveillance of Wastewater.

Antibiotic resistance is one of the major health threat for humans, animals, and the environment, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Global Antibiotic-Resistance Surveillance System (GLASS). In the last several years, wastewater/sewage has been identified as potential hotspots for the dissemination of antibiotic resistance and transfer of resistance genes. However, systematic approaches for mapping the antibiotic resistance situation in sewage are limited and underdeveloped.
