Predicting unicompartmental arthroplasty success: a three year Indian study.

Purpose: This study evaluated the three year clinical outcomes and predictors of success for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in an Indian population.

Methods: Twenty patients with medial compartment osteoarthritis (≥ Ahlbäck grade 2) underwent UKA. American Knee Society Score (AKSS), Oxford Knee Score (OKS), and Visual Analogue Scale Score (VAS) were assessed at baseline, two weeks, six weeks, three months, and three years.

Insights into cellular crosstalk regulating cytoplasmic male sterility and fertility restoration.

Cytoplasmic male sterility has been a popular genetic tool in development of hybrids. The molecular mechanism behind maternal sterility varies from crop to crop. An understanding of underlying mechanism can help in development of new functional CMS gene in crops which lack effective and stable CMS systems.

Dual-band polarization insensitive graphene-based reconfigurable absorber in a terahertz regime.

In this paper, a dual-band graphene-based absorber is structured and investigated in a terahertz frequency domain. The designed absorber contains a plus-shaped graphene sheet, as well as four dual concentric graphene-based rings. It is designed according to the SiO-based substrate.

Comparative mitochondrial genome analysis reveals a candidate ORF for cytoplasmic male sterility in tropical onion.

Unlabelled: Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) has been widely exploited for hybrid seed production in onions ( L.). In contrast to long-day onion cultivars, short-day onion has not yet been investigated for mitochondrial genome structure and DNA rearrangements associated with CMS activity.

The Clinical Study of Anti TPO Antibodies in Patients of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

Introduction: The association of Type 1 diabetes mellitus with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) has been well documented in many populations. The appearance of Anti TPO antibodies precedes thyroid dysfunction and increase in autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes. The occurrence of thyroid auto antibodies against microsomes (AMA) and thyroglobulin (ATA), frequently seen in Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Grave's disease have been reported in type 1 diabetes mellitus with varying frequency.
