Effectiveness of repeated mutagenesis of sesame crosses for enhancing polygenic variability in F2M2 generation.

The value of combining hybridization and mutagenesis in sesame was examined to determine if treating hybrid sesame plant material with mutagens generated greater genetic variability in four key productivity traits than either the separate hybridization or mutation of plant material. In a randomized block design with three replications, six F2M2 varieties, three F2varieties, and three parental varieties were assessed at Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. The plant characteristics height, number of seed capsules per plant, and seed yield per plant had greater variability in the F2M2 generation than their respective controls (F2), however, the number of primary branches per plant varied less than in the control population.

Efficacy of Modified Masood Scoring System (MMSS) in Cytological Diagnosis of Breast Lesions.

Introduction: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) breast is generally considered a reliable diagnostic tool to distinguish non-proliferative from proliferative breast lesions. Nevertheless, differentiating these breast lesions on FNAC poses a diagnostic challenge. Modified Masood Scoring System (MMSS) based on cytomorphological examination has been used to help in differentiating these lesions.

A Rare Case of Gastrointestinal Mucormycosis.

Gastrointestinal Mucormycosis (GIM) is a rare life-threatening angio-invasive infection. The classic risk factors include immunosuppression and metabolic derangement. Usually, there are classical risk factors in patients affected by Ileocecal mucormycosis.

First Case of Enterovesical Fistula Caused by Ischaemic Enteritis.

We present the case of an enterovesical fistula (EVF) caused by ischemic enteritis. Ischemic enteritis is caused either by mesenteric macrovasculature occlusion or any pathophysiologic vasospasm of the microvasculature. In other words, ischemic enteritis (IE) occurs when the inflow of blood to the small intestines is reduced.
