Cryoprotective Property of Ethylene Glycol in Regard to the Quality and Mitochondrial Status of Frozen Indian Red Jungle Fowl () Semen.

Ethylene glycol (EG) has been employed as a cryoprotectant for many years in mammalian semen cryopreservation but not assessed for birds except for its recently illustrated beneficial effects on commercial chicken lines. The Indian red jungle fowl is facing trouble in its native range due to human encroachment. Therefore, the present study was designed to elucidate the cryoprotective effect of different EG concentrations (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) on frozen Indian red jungle fowl semen.

A scoping review on the obstacles faced by beta thalassemia major patients in Pakistan- Matter of policy investment.

Beta-thalassemia major (β-TM) is a genetic disorder, prevalent especially in the Mediterranean region, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. With improvements in management over the years, β-TM has transitioned from a fatal childhood disease to a chronic condition. However, in Pakistan, there is still a lack of a comprehensive national policy and strategic plan, which has resulted in a growing number of β-TM patients, placing a substantial burden on individuals and the national healthcare system.

Custom-Made 3D-Printed Augments and Cages: An Effective Solution for Managing Severe Acetabular Bone Loss.

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is recognized as one of the most effective surgical procedures for the treatment of end-stage hip arthritis. However, the increasing number of primary THA cases has led to a corresponding rise in the frequency of revision surgeries, which are often more complex and challenging due to severe acetabular bone loss. In such cases, managing Paprosky type 3A and 3B defects requires precise implant design and advanced surgical techniques.

The hidden language of plant-beneficial microbes: chemo-signaling dynamics in plant microenvironments.

Plants and microorganisms coexist within complex ecosystems, significantly influencing agricultural productivity. Depending on the interaction between the plant and microbes, this interaction can either help or harm plant health. Microbes interact with plants by secreting proteins that influence plant cells, producing bioactive compounds like antibiotics or toxins, and releasing molecules such as N-acyl homoserine lactones to coordinate their behaviour.

Advancing siRNA Therapeutics targeting MCT-4: A Multifaceted approach integrating Arithmetical Designing, Screening, and molecular dynamics validation.

Monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT-4) is involved in various metabolic processes which are crucial in maintaining cellular pH and energy metabolism, and thus influence the tumor microenvironment. The study is aimed to rationally design effective Small interfering RNA (siRNA) that can silence MCT-4. We utilized a comprehensive workflow integrating multiple tools such as siDirect version 2.
