Phage Culver, with a siphovirus morphology, was isolated using CAG3. Culver is assigned to phage cluster CQ1 based on gene content similarity to actinobacteriophages. Notably, Culver is predicted to encode eight tRNAs, lysin A by two adjacent genes, and, unlike other CQ1 phages, two putative integrase genes.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess how well a new lens design, the Shamir Myopia Control (SMC) lens, can slow down myopia development in children aged 6-13 compared to conventional spectacle lenses.
  • Conducted as a randomized double-blind trial with 126 participants, it measured changes in axial length and refractive errors over 12 months.
  • The results showed significant reductions in myopia progression for younger kids and those with myopic parents, while both lens types had similar subjective visual experiences and wearing times, indicating good acceptance of the SMC lenses.

The considerable success of Bangladesh's family planning programs Slowed in recent years due to the low utilization of long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) and permanent methods (PMs). The low uptake persists despite the fact that these methods are proven to be highly effective in preventing unplanned pregnancies and lowering maternal deaths. This situation causes a daunting challenge for the country to attain sustainable development goals (SDGs) by 2030.

Chronic Fibrosing Osteomyletis (CFO) is a commonly found condition which is often undiagnosed because of its co-morbidities with other systemic conditions. Clinicians should consider CFO in their differential diagnosis when confronted with complex head, neck and facial pain patients who present with multi-symptom/systems overlay. A multi-disciplinary approach is often required for proper patient diagnosis and treatment.
