Enhancing Phosphate Uptake and Antifungal Activity in Tomato Plants via Bacillus licheniformis Mutagenesis: Evaluating Growth Parameters.

The objective of the investigation was to improve phosphate solubilization in tomato plants by Bacillus licheniformis, a rhizobacterium that promotes plant growth. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, Ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) and Ethidium bromide (EtBr) mutagenesis produced twenty-one mutants. Phosphate solubilization was higher in the PM7 (physical mutant) (121.

Case of adult-onset Kawasaki disease and multisystem inflammatory syndrome following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.

Kawasaki disease (KD) and multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS) are rare conditions that occur predominately in children. Recent reports document KD and MIS in adult patients following infection with SARS-CoV-2. Rarely, MIS is observed following vaccination against SARS-CoV-2, mostly in patients with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Subcutaneous oedema of upper limbs heralding an aggressive form of dermatomyositis.

Subcutaneous oedema is a rare presenting clinical manifestation of dermatomyositis. In this case, we report a 44-year-old man presenting with bilateral upper extremity predominant swelling and weakness. The proximal muscle weakness, dysphagia and presence of Gottron's papules as well poikiloderma like skin changes led to the clinical diagnosis of dermatomyositis.
