One hundred and forty-three F2:7 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from the cross of soybean cultivars 'Charleston' and 'Dongnong 594' were analyzed for the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) underlying protein or oil content at 6 different developmental stages by composite interval mapping with a mixed genetic mod... |
Peliglitazar, a PPAR α/γ agonist, was found to undergo acid as well as base catalyzed degradation. The acid catalyzed degradation led to the formation of benzylic alcohol and glycine carbamate and the base catalyzed degradation led to formation of p-hydroxyanisole and an amine degradant. In capsule formulations, the ca... |

Aim: To study clinical profile of amblyopic patients in relation to refractive status, socio economic status, |
use of glasses and social impact on society. |
Results: Myopes improving with spectacles are 45% and mixed astigmatism 69%. Most common age group |
for detection of amblyopia in young adults is 21-30 years(47.1%) with predominance of female(55.7%) |
belonging from middle class families (81.4%) having studied mostly from Government Marathi medium |
school(45.7%) with previously not using given glasses(57.1%) and with taken amblyopia of only (7.1%) and |
with spectacles maximum correction with mixed astigmatism (54.2%) between 6/36-6/9 in right eye (43%) |
and in left eye (30%) . Hypermetropies’ improving to 6/12 is only 13%. So there’s very few cases improving |
with the spectacles in hypermetropes in amblyopia. |
Interpretation: Lack of school screening programs and awareness for health check-up delays the diagnosis |
of amblyopia leading to non-improvement of vision and due to lack of knowledge and social stigma girls |
especially avoid wearing glasses even after prescribing leading to amblyopia. |
Conclusion: School health camps, proper health education, timely examination, and proper use of spectacles |

OBJECTIVE |
Evaluation of the demographic profile of patients from south-eastern Poland treated due to wet age-related macular degeneration. |
MATERIAL AND METHODS |
Data concerning 201 patients were analyzed (133 F/ 68 M), aged from 50 -91, (mean age 76 ± 8.6), with the wet form of age-related macular degeneration treated by intravitreal injections of vascular endothelial growth factor inhibiting drugs. The significance of the relationships between variables was investigated by me... |
RESULTS |
Analysis did not show any significant differences in the access to treatment with intravitreal injections of vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors between the rural and urban patients. Urban males and females living in the rural areas received treatment statistically more often (p=0.05). No significant differen... |
CONCLUSIONS |
Place of residence has no effect on obtaining treatment by patients. The lack of significant differences in treatment between the rural and urban inhabitants may indicate a sufficient level of ophthalmological care in the area of south-eastern Poland. An improvement in the awareness of hazards resulting from inadequate... |
