Age, Adverse Childhood Experiences, and Health Care Utilization.

Objectives: To assess whether the association of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) with pediatric health care utilization differs by age.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we included patients completing primary care ACEs screening between January 2020 and September 2021. Pediatric ACEs and Related Life Events Screener Part 1 scores were categorized 0, 1 to 3, or ≥4 (none, low, and high, respectively).

Identification of a Promising Novel Genetic Source for Rice Root-Knot Nematode Resistance through Markers Associated with Trait-Specific Quantitative Trait Loci.

Direct-seeded rice (DSR) is gaining popularity among farmers due to its environmentally safe and resource-efficient production system. However, managing the rice root-knot nematode (RRKN), , remains a major challenge in DSR cultivation. Developing genetic resistance is a pragmatic and effective approach compared to using hazardous pesticides.

Prevalence of different types of interproximal contacts in the permanent dentition - a study cast evaluation.

Background: A new classification called OXIS was proposed for categorizing the interproximal contacts of primary molars, modified for the primary canines and its prevalence was established. No such information is available for the permanent dentition. Hence, the aim was to establish the variations in interproximal contacts of the permanent dentition and thereby modify the OXIS classification of primary molars and primary canines to the permanent dentition.

Host-induced RNA interference targeting the neuromotor gene FMRFamide-like peptide-14 (Mi-flp14) perturbs Meloidogyne incognita parasitic success in eggplant.

The study demonstrates the successful management of Meloidogyne incognita in eggplant using Mi-flp14 RNA interference, showing reduced nematode penetration and reproduction without off-target effects across multiple generations. Root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, causes huge yield losses worldwide. Neuromotor function in M.
