Article Synopsis
- The STCR (Soil Test Crop Response) approach enhances agricultural productivity and soil health by optimizing fertilizer use, which is crucial for food security while minimizing environmental harm.
- A long-term study conducted in India examined the effects of STCR-based fertilizer recommendations combined with farmyard manure on the yields of various crops, including soybean and aerobic rice.
- Results indicated that this method significantly increased crop yields and improved soil fertility compared to traditional fertilizer strategies, demonstrating better nutrient uptake and overall soil quality.
Strategies for drug discovery and repositioning are an urgent need with respect to COVID-19. We developed "REDIAL-2020", a suite of machine learning models for estimating small molecule activity from molecular structure, for a range of SARS-CoV-2 related assays. Each classifier is based on three distinct types of descriptors (fingerprint, physicochemical, and pharmacophore) for parallel model development.

Background: Non-operatively treated fractures of the humeral diaphysis have a high rate of union with good functional results. The objective of this study is to find out the outcome of fractures of the humeral diaphysis treated with a functional brace that permits motion of shoulder and elbow joints and progressive use of the injured extremity.
Materials And Methods: This was a descriptive analytical study in patients of 16 years and above with closed fracture shaft of humerus treated with a functional brace that permits the motion of shoulder and elbow joints.
Background: Revised National TB Control Programme has been implemented since 1998 in Bangalore metropolitan city which has several big general hospitals, including two TB sanatoria which attract a large number of respiratory symptomatic and TB patients. Till recently there was significant loss of patients for follow up because of lack of mechanism to reach the patients, good recording practices and linkage with district TB control office.
Objective: To establish an effective referral mechanism between TB sanatoria and peripheral health institutions of the government for providing un-interrupted supervised treatment (DOT) to all newly detected TB patients.
