Different orthology inference algorithms generate similar predicted orthogroups among Brassicaceae species.

Premise: Orthology inference is crucial for comparative genomics, and multiple algorithms have been developed to identify putative orthologs for downstream analyses. Despite the abundance of proposed solutions, including publicly available benchmarks, it is difficult to assess which tool is most suitable for plant species, which commonly have complex genomic histories.

Methods: We explored the performance of four orthology inference algorithms-OrthoFinder, SonicParanoid, Broccoli, and OrthNet-on eight Brassicaceae genomes in two groups: one group comprising only diploids and another set comprising the diploids, two mesopolyploids, and one recent hexaploid genome.

Presumed Sympathetic Ophthalmia After Diode Laser Cyclophotocoagulation for Neovascular Glaucoma: A Case Series.

Purpose: To describe a case series of presumed Sympathetic Ophthalmia (SO) triggered by diode laser cyclophotocoagulation (CPC) for the treatment of neovascular glaucoma.

Methods: Patients developing bilateral granulomatous uveitis after CPC between 2014 and 2024. Cases with prior ocular trauma or penetrating ocular surgery were excluded.

Blood flow restriction increases motor unit firing rates and input excitation of the biceps brachii during a moderate-load muscle action.

This study examined the effects of blood flow restriction (BFR) on motor unit (MU) behaviour of the biceps brachii (BB) during a single non-exhausting submaximal muscle action. Twenty adults performed maximal voluntary contractions (MVCs) of the elbow flexors, followed by an isometric trapezoidal muscle action at 40% MVC during BFR and control (CON) visits. Surface electromyographic signals recorded from the BB during the 40% MVCs were decomposed.
