De Novo Mining and Validating Novel Microsatellite Markers to Assess Genetic Diversity in (F.), a Legume Pod Borer.

(Fabricius) is an invasive insect pest capable of causing enormous economic losses to a broad spectrum of leguminous crops. Microsatellites are valuable molecular markers for population genetic studies; however, an inadequate number of microsatellite loci are available to carry out population association studies. Thus, we utilized this insect's public domain databases for mining expressed sequence tags (EST)-derived microsatellite markers.

Herbs-derived phytochemicals - a boon for combating COVID-19.

Unlabelled: The recent pandemic, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), has put the whole world on alert with the threat of the virus that targets the human respiratory system. The disease has affected more than 633.6 million people globally and caused 6.

Is Interferon α-2b 1 MillionIU/mL Truly Better Than Tacrolimus 0.03% for Steroid-Resistant VKC ?: Our 2-Year Experience at a Tertiary Health-Care Centre.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy of eye-drop interferon (IFN) α-2b 1 millionIU/mL with eye-ointment tacrolimus 0.03% in refractory vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC).

Materials And Methods: Fifty patients with VKC refractory to conventional treatment with topical corticosteroids and antihistamines after 4 weeks of regular use were selected retrospectively.

Ripasudil Endgame: Role of Rho-Kinase Inhibitor as a Last-Ditch-Stand Towards Maximally Tolerated Medical Therapy to a Patient of Advanced Glaucoma.

Purpose: To elucidate the use of Ripasudil in patients of advanced glaucoma on maximally tolerated medical therapy who could not be offered the option of surgery due to the global pandemic lockdown.

Materials And Methods: Only patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), who had a cup-disc ratio (CDR) of 0.9 or a near total cupping on maximum tolerated medical therapy for at least 4 weeks and yet could not meet the target IOP were included.

Cosmetically Adaptable Transparent Strain Sensor for Sensitively Delineating Patterns in Small Movements of Vital Human Organs.

Monitoring live movements of human body parts is becoming increasingly important in the context of biomedical and human machine technologies. The development of wearable strain sensors with high sensitivity and fast response is critical to address this need. In this article, we describe the fabrication of a wearable strain sensor made of a Au micromesh partially embedded in polydimethylsiloxane substrate.

Spray coating of crack templates for the fabrication of transparent conductors and heaters on flat and curved surfaces.

Transparent conducting electrodes (TCEs) have been made on flat, flexible, and curved surfaces, following a crack template method in which a desired surface was uniformly spray-coated with a crackle precursor (CP) and metal (Ag) was deposited by vacuum evaporation. An acrylic resin (CP1) and a SiO2 nanoparticle-based dispersion (CP2) derived from commercial products served as CPs to produce U-shaped cracks in highly interconnected networks. The crack width and the density could be controlled by varying the spray conditions, resulting in varying template thicknesses.
