Observational evidence on the coastal upwelling along the northwest coast of India during summer monsoon.

The lesser known coastal upwelling in the North Eastern Arabian Sea (NEAS) during summer monsoon, its associated dynamics and forcing mechanisms is elucidated for the first time using basin scale monthly time-series in-situ and satellite data. The presence of cool upwelled waters along northwest coast of India from July to early October with an associated increase in productivity was evident in both data. The low level Findlater jet blows towards west coast of India with high wind magnitude (10-12 m/s) during summer monsoon generates strong Ekman transport (1416 kg/m/s) at offshore and Ekman pumping velocity (1.

A study on clinico-pathological assessment of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast carcinoma.

Context: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has become a strategy in the multidisciplinary treatment approach to breast cancer. Since clinical and radiological responses do not correlate well with residual tumor after treatment, pathological evaluation of tumor response to chemotherapy is essential for accurate assessment.

Aims: The aim of this study is to assess clinicopathological response to NACT in patients with invasive breast carcinoma.

Microbial planktonic communities in the Red Sea: high levels of spatial and temporal variability shaped by nutrient availability and turbulence.

The semi-enclosed nature of the Red Sea (20.2°N-38.5°N) makes it a natural laboratory to study the influence of environmental gradients on microbial communities.
