Article Synopsis
- * A recent outbreak in Bangalore since January 2023 has resulted in approximately 500 cases, prompting a study to assess the clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of measles in pediatric patients.
- * In a seven-month retrospective study of 53 children with measles, the majority were female, and common symptoms included cough, coryza, and conjunctivitis; the data highlighted varied socioeconomic backgrounds and noted that some children lacked vaccination.
Background: Modern technologies have led to the development of new tools, practices, and digital techniques. However, their use in public health to provide adequate oral health facilities to the community is limited. One of the facilities that can help provide better oral health with minimal cost is teledentistry.

Data was collected from 2013 to 2022 at a 1 Hz frequency. Analysis of the current study indicates that during pre-monsoon, the seasonal maximum of CO was 409.

Its clinical manifestations include a progressive loss of memory and other cognitive domains, as well as brain atrophy. An elevated homocysteine level (>15 µmol/L), known as hyperhomocysteinemia, is also an attributing risk factor for AD, vascular pathologies, and brain atrophy.

Article Synopsis
- The melon fly (Zeugodacus cucurbitae) is a significant pest affecting cucurbit crops, leading to considerable yield loss and economic impact.
- The CRISPR/Cas9 system is a powerful genome editing tool that can target specific genes to create stable genetic changes, which can help manage pest traits more efficiently without needing extensive genetic data.
- In this study, researchers successfully used CRISPR/Cas9 to mutate the white gene in melon flies, resulting in a white eye phenotype, which aids in understanding gene function and could lead to innovative pest control methods like precision guided sterile insect technique (pgSIT).
