Article Synopsis
- Tuberculosis (TB) is an airborne disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and the study addresses the increasing challenge of drug-resistant strains, particularly isoniazid-resistant (INH) cases.* -
- Researchers used a method called Multiplex allele-specific Polymerase Chain Reaction (MAS-PCR) to identify common mutations related to isoniazid resistance in certain genes (inhA, katG, and ahpC) using 200 clinical isolates of the bacteria.* -
- The study found that mutations in the ahpC gene were the most prevalent, and the MAS-PCR method showed a sensitivity of 87% and specificity of 42% for detecting INH resistance, suggesting its effectiveness as a rapid
Rock typing is a vital step in oil and gas reservoir development to achieve predictions of hydrocarbon reserves, recovery, and underground storage capacity for CO or hydrogen. To address inaccurate initial hydrocarbon-in-place prediction and improper rock property distribution in a reservoir model, a recent rock typing method, pore geometry and structure (PGS), has revealed a more accurate prediction on connate water saturation and better grouping of capillary pressure. However, the current state still needs physical interpretations of the PGS rock typing.

Materials And Methods: A total of 26 BB X FH crossbreds were observed for BW, chest weight (CW), body length (BL), hip height (HH), wither height (WH), and chest girth (CG) from 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, and 300 days of age. Stepwise regression and random forest were performed using R 3.
Objective: This study was conducted to analyze the matrilineal structure of sp in Southeast Asia, especially in the D-loop region.
Materials And Method: A total of 563 sequences from eight countries (Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, the Philippines, and Thailand) in Southeast Asia are used in this study. Data collected from National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) regarding the genus sp.
Objective: This study aims to determine the protein profile based on molecular weight (MW) and testosterone levels in seminal plasma (SP) that correlates to the semen quality of candidate Madura bulls.
Material And Methods: A total of 10 male candidate madura bulls underwent semen evaluation (motility, viability, membrane plasma integrity (MPI), and sperm concentration). The centrifuge was run at 1,200 rpm (4°C) for 20 min to collect SP.
