Article Synopsis
- Maize zeins are lacking in essential amino acids, but the floury2 (fl2) mutation enhances the amino acid profile, specifically increasing methionine and lysine in kernels.
- Researchers sequenced the fl2 gene in various inbred lines and identified multiple genetic variations, including a critical C to T transversion that changes alanine to valine, leading to a unique PCR-based marker for selecting the fl2 mutant allele.
- The study revealed significant genetic diversity among the inbred lines, identified 29 haplotypes of the fl2 gene, and provided insights valuable for molecular breeding in maize aimed at improving nutritional quality.
Background: Disorders affecting cardiac conduction are associated with substantial morbidity. Understanding the epidemiology and risk factors for conduction disorders may enable earlier diagnosis and preventive efforts.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to quantify contemporary frequency and risk factors for electrocardiogram (ECG)-defined cardiac conduction disorders in a large multi-institutional primary care sample.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the risk factors and stroke subtypes for young ischemic stroke patients and their outcomes at the time of discharge.
Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study of ischemic stroke patients (n = 264) between the age groups of 18 and 45. The study population was divided into two broad age groups: 18 to 35 years and 36 to 45 years; and compared based on demographics, risk factors, the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) classification, and outcomes.
Purpose: The current study aims to compare the split x-jaw planning technique of volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT) with the traditional open and limited jaw techniques of VAMT in nasopharyngeal carcinoma treatment. The multi-leaf collimators on the varian linear accelerator move on a carriage with a maximum leaf span of 15 cm. Therefore, treatment of larger planning target volumes, such as in nasopharyngeal cancer with traditional open and limited jaw technique, yields compromised dose distribution.
