Unlocking the potential of ecofriendly guardians for biological control of plant diseases, crop protection and production in sustainable agriculture.

Several beneficial microbial strains inhibit the growth of different phytopathogens and commercialized worldwide as biocontrol agents (BCAs) for plant disease management. These BCAs employ different strategies for growth inhibition of pathogens, which includes production of antibiotics, siderophores, lytic enzymes, bacteriocins, hydrogen cyanide, volatile organic compounds, biosurfactants and induction of systemic resistance. The efficacy of antagonistic strains could be further improved through genetic engineering for better disease suppression in sustainable farming practices.

Extra Skeletal Ewing's Sarcoma of Sino Nasal Tract-A Rare Entity a Case Report.

Ewing's sarcoma is a rare and highly malignant tumour predominantly affecting the bones. Extra skeletal Ewing's sarcoma of Sino nasal tract, encompassing the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is an exceedingly rare location for this tumour. We present a case of a 16 year-old boy who presented with right nasal obstruction, epistaxis and right facial swelling since 3 months.

Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy - Comparative Outcomes of Powered vs. Non - Powered Instrument Techniques in a Tertiary Care Hospital.

This study compares the outcomes and complications associated with Powered and Non - Powered instrument techniques in patients undergoing Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy (Endo DCR). An Observational, longitudinal study was carried out on 146 cases of Chronic Dacryocystitis who were divided into two equal groups. One group underwent Endo DCR by powered instruments (Powered group - PG) and the other group by non-powered technique (Non Powered group - NPG).

Pneumoparotitis: A Rare Case Report.

Pneumoparotitis, a rare condition characterized by the presence of air within the parotid gland, typically arises due to an accumulation of air in the salivary ducts. Pneumoparotitis is a rare entity which affects children and young adolescents. This case report presents a rare instance of pneumoparotitis occurring in a 14-year-old female.
