Background: Downy mildew caused by is a devastating disease in sunflower worldwide. Several dominant resistance genes designated as have been identified and linked molecular markers have been demonstrated. However, no information on theresistance genes is available forIranian lines.
Objectives: The presence of three map-based molecular markers previously proved to be linked to different resistance genes were evaluated in sunflower inbred lines.
Materials And Methods: Using PCR-based and CAPS molecular markers, 26 sunflower inbred lines with different responses to race 100 were used to detect the presence of three resistance loci including , and within the lines.
Results: Molecular marker linked to was present in some of the sunflower lines but was not correlated with the phenotypic reaction of the lines to race 100. Despite the use of three markers linked to , PCR failed to amplify any corresponding product. This data may suggest that none of the genotypes possessed locus. -linked cleaved amplified polymorphic sequences (CAPS) were present in several resistance lines and effectively differentiated susceptible and resistant sunflower lines.
Conclusions: Applicability of molecular markers in breeding programs revisited in disease management.

Tumors are complex ecosystems of interacting cell types. The concept of cancer hallmarks distills this complexity into underlying principles that govern tumor growth. Here, we explore the spatial distribution of cancer hallmarks across 63 primary untreated tumors from 10 cancer types using spatial transcriptomics.

This study aims to investigate the expression of seven cancer testis antigens (MAGE-A1, MAGE-A4, MAGE-A10, MAGE-A11, PRAME, NY-ESO-1 and KK-LC-1) in pan squamous cell carcinoma and their prognostic value, thus assessing the potential of these CTAs as immunotherapeutic targets. The protein expression of these CTAs was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in 60 lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), 62 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCA) and 62 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC). The relationship between CTAs expression and progression-free survival (PFS) was assessed.

Introduction: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the commonest urologic cancer worldwide and the leading cause of male cancer deaths in Nigeria. In Nigeria, orchidectomy remains the primary androgen deprivation therapy. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is the active prostatic androgen, but its relationship with PCa severity has not been extensively studied in Africa.

Introduction: This study aimed to analyze the levels of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 as biomarkers for identifying lung anatomical and functional abnormalities in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Methodology: Adult COVID-19 patients hospitalized between October and December 2021 were included in the study. MMP-9 and TIMP-1 levels were measured from the blood.

Introduction: Hemoperfusion (HP), a blood filtration method targeting the removal of toxins and inflammatory elements, was investigated in this study. The objective was to present the observations in four individuals with confirmed COVID-19 who underwent several rounds of HP utilizing the HA330 cartridge at a hospital in Indonesia.
Case Studies: We report four cases of COVID-19 patients who underwent HP.
