Multiscale regulation of nutrient stress responses in from chromatin structure to small regulatory RNAs.

Recent research has indicated the presence of heterochromatin-like regions of extended protein occupancy and transcriptional silencing of bacterial genomes. We utilized an integrative approach to track chromatin structure and transcription in K-12 across a wide range of nutrient conditions. In the process, we identified multiple loci which act similarly to facultative heterochromatin in eukaryotes, normally silenced but permitting expression of genes under specific conditions.

Achievement Motivation Among Health Sciences and Engineering Students During COVID-19.

Background: COVID-19 has brought many hurdles, and people have had to adjust to new ways. The online class was one such adjustment. Students in health science and engineering streams have more practical learning than theory.

Effect of integrated people-centred eye care (IPEC) model on eye care seeking behaviour of community.

Background: World report on vision makes integrated people-centered eye care as care model of choice. Integrating eye care with the existing public health system makes services available, accessible, affordable, and sustainable. Being from the community, Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) are better suited to improve people's eye health-seeking behavior.

Expeditious entry into carbocyclic and heterocyclic spirooxindoles.

Spirocyclic frameworks have attracted synthetic practitioners due to their unique three-dimensional assembly, improved metabolic stability, solubility, and increased molecular complexity with regard to planar architectures. A recent surge in the number of spirocyclic oxindoles inhibiting enzymes, moderating unique protein-protein interactions, modulating receptors and transporters is testament to their prevalence. Against this background, the construction of spirocyclic frameworks containing an oxindole moiety as a torsional switch stereoselective methods is in great demand.

Prevalence and factors associated with depression among medical students in Nigeria.

Background: Depression among medical students has been partly attributed to the nature of medical education, and may lead to poor academic and professional adjustment. The objectives of the study were to assess the prevalence of depression and its relationship to socio-demographic and clinical risk factors among medical students of Bayero University in Kano, Nigeria.

Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed.
