Objective: Acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC), commonly called pink eye, saw an alarming increase in incidence from July to September 2023 in different parts of India. Pink eye occurrences had reportedly increased three to four times more than in prior years, raising concerns among the community and healthcare professionals. This study aimed to identify the aetiological agent associated with AHC in 2023, genetically characterize the agent and describe the clinical presentation.

Article Synopsis
  • Vasomotor symptoms (VMS), including hot flashes and night sweats, are common and distressing for women undergoing menopause, and fezolinetant is being studied as a potential treatment.
  • This research compiles data from six randomized controlled trials to compare the effectiveness and safety of fezolinetant against a placebo in post-menopausal women with VMS.
  • Findings showed that fezolinetant significantly reduced both the frequency and severity of VMS and improved quality of life, with consistent positive results at both 4 and 12 weeks, and no notable safety concerns reported.

Article Synopsis
  • - Salt stress negatively impacts mustard growth and yield, but using plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) like *Pseudomonas fluorescens* can help mitigate these effects through various growth-promoting activities, including salt tolerance.
  • - *P. fluorescens* can enhance the synthesis of melatonin (MT), a molecule that combats oxidative stress by reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and promoting the activity of antioxidative enzymes, leading to improved plant health under salt stress.
  • - When mustard plants were treated with both *P. fluorescens* and MT, there was a significant increase in antioxidant activity and flavonoid production, particularly kaempferol and cyanidin, suggesting that this
