An aberrant healing reaction to cutaneous injury or inflammation that spreads outside the original wound's boundaries causes keloidal scars. We present the case of a sixty-year-old male patient who initially came with complaints of respiratory system but had spontaneous lesions over his body for 50 years which remained undiagnosed. It was confirmed on histological examination to be keloids.

As these efforts have continued, a related issue is how common co-pathologies and ethnicity intersect with AD subtypes. The goal of this study was to use a dataset constituting 153 pathologic variables recorded on 666 AD brain autopsies to better define how co-pathologies and ethnicity relate to established AD subtypes.

- The study investigates the role of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) in coronary atherosclerosis using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
- It compares two groups based on non-HDL-C levels: those with normal levels (≤130 mg/dl) and those with high levels (>130 mg/dl), finding significant differences in plaque characteristics and burden between the groups.
- The results indicate that higher non-HDL-C levels correlate with increased plaque burden and larger necrotic core volume, suggesting its importance as a predictor for plaque vulnerability in coronary arteries.
Article Synopsis
- In India and Bangladesh, lentil crops face serious issues due to foliar blight, prompting researchers to create a mutant population to find a resistant variety, specifically targeting the lack of resistance in existing germplasm.
- The study produced a gamma-irradiated mutant population, screening nearly 130,000 M2 plants, which led to the identification of a resistant strain called MM216, characterized by a very low disease index compared to standard varieties.
- The resistant mutant MM216 demonstrated no negative impact on yield despite a slight delay in flowering, indicating its potential for integration into lentil breeding programs worldwide.
