Optimizing planting times and weed management for enhanced yield and nutritional quality of baby corn and green fodder.

A study was carried out to ascertain the impact of planting time and weeding schedule on the yield and quality of baby corn. The trial included three planting times viz. 15 November, 15 December and 14 January and five levels of weeding regime viz.

Effect of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors/Angiotensin Receptor Blockers on COVID-19 outcome: A Record Based Observational Study in West Bengal.

Background: Since its first identification in December 2019, in WUHAN (CHINA), SARS-COV-2, causative agent of Corona virus pandemic, has affected millions of people worldwide, causing thousands of death. There is much speculation about the interplay between ACEI/ARB and Corona virus infection, as for internalization into host cell SARS-COV-2 binds through S spike protein to ACE-2, aided TMPRSS2.

Methods: A record based observational study has been conducted (data obtained from the clinics of fourteen physicians) in two worst affected districts of West Bengal, to find out the association of ACEI/ARB on patients, suffering from Corona virus infection.

Hyperekplexia, microcephaly and simplified gyral pattern caused by novel ASNS mutations, case report.

Background: Asparagine synthetase deficiency (OMIM# 615574) is a very rare newly described neurometabolic disorder characterized by congenital microcephaly and severe global developmental delay, associated with intractable seizures or hyperekplexia. Brain MRI typically shows cerebral atrophy with simplified gyral pattern and delayed myelination. Only 12 cases have been described to date.

Non-puerperal uterine inversion in a patient with intracranial sigmoid sinus thrombosis and facial palsy.

Non-puerperal uterine inversion and cranial nerve palsies in patients with sigmoid sinus thrombosis are both extremely rare. We report a case of a patient who presented with both simultaneously. The symptoms of sigmoid sinus thrombosis resolved with subcutaneous enoxaparin, and an abdominal dissection with removal of the uterus vaginally resulted in a successful outcome for the patient.

SLC25A22 is a novel gene for migrating partial seizures in infancy.

Objective: To identify a genetic cause for migrating partial seizures in infancy (MPSI).

Methods: We characterized a consanguineous pedigree with MPSI and obtained DNA from affected and unaffected family members. We analyzed single nucleotide polymorphism 500K data to identify regions with evidence of linkage.
