AI Article Synopsis

  • Rice leaves and panicles are vital for nutrient intake and yield, respectively, with some genes linked to traits like lesion mimic leaves and panicle abortion.
  • A newly characterized mutant shows both leaf lesions and degeneration of spikelets, revealing its role in this dual trait.
  • The study identified that the mutant gene encodes a proton pump ATPase, important for regulating reactive oxygen species (ROS), and shows increased sensitivity to heat and salt stress, highlighting its role in plant development.

Article Abstract

Leaf and panicle are important nutrient and yield organs in rice, respectively. Although several genes controlling lesion mimic leaf and panicle abortion have been identified, a few studies have reported the involvement of a single gene in the production of both the traits. In this study, we characterized a panicle abortion mutant, (), which exhibits lesions on the leaf and causes degeneration of apical spikelets. Molecular cloning revealed that encodes a proton pump ATPase protein that is localized in the plasma membrane and is highly expressed in leaves and panicles. The analysis of promoter activity showed that the insertion of a fragment in the promoter of caused a decrease in the transcription level. Cellular and histochemistry analysis indicated that the ROS accumulated and cell death occurred in lmpa. Moreover, physiological experiments revealed that was more sensitive to high temperatures and salt stress conditions. These results provide a better understanding of the role of in panicle development and lesion mimic formation by regulating ROS homeostasis.

Hydatid disease is endemic in Tunisia. Whereas uncomplicated pulmonary hydatid cysts are easily diagnosed on radiological findings, complicated and atypical forms may be misdiagnosed and confused with other pulmonary lesions, mainly lung malignancies. We report a case of a 47-year-old woman, who presented with a 3-month history of hemoptysis.

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare, often idiopathic, noninfectious inflammatory neutrophilic dermatitis that causes painful ulcerative cutaneous papillomatous lesions. PG often mimics surgical infection, wound dehiscence, and postoperative cellulitis, leading to high rates of misdiagnosis and mistreatment. Here, a healthy 17-year-old adolescent girl with congenital breast asymmetry, macromastia, and a history of only mild intermittent autoimmune conditions developed an open wound along her inferior left breast incision 2 weeks after reduction mammoplasty.

Unveiling Pediatric Neurosarcoidosis Mimicking Central Nervous System Tuberculosis: Diagnostic Challenges.

J Child Neurol

January 2025

Section of Pediatric Neurology, Department of Pediatrics and Child Health, Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan.

Neurosarcoidosis is a rare chronic inflammatory disease affecting the nervous system. Owing to its varying manifestations that can mimic other central nervous system infectious or autoimmune diseases, and scarcity of literature, it proves to be a challenging diagnosis. We report two cases of possible neurosarcoidosis in the pediatric age group.

Spinal impostor: Metastatic cervical paraganglioma presenting with paraparesis, a case report.

Int J Surg Case Rep

January 2025

Neurosurgery Section, Department of Surgery, The Aga Khan Hospital, P. O Box 2289, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.

Introduction And Importance: Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors, typically arising from extra-adrenal chromaffin cells. Primary intra-spinal paragangliomas are uncommon, and metastatic spinal paragangliomas without paraneoplastic symptoms are even rarer. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges posed by such rare tumors.
