This study analyzed patient demographics in the ophthalmology department at Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital (IGMCH) to assess relationships between age, sex, and eye conditions. While the overall sex distribution was equal, individual conditions varied, with cataracts and retinal disorders more common in males and conjunctival conditions slightly more prevalent in females, though none were statistically significant (p > 0.05) except for cataract patients aged 50–89 (p < 0.001). Understanding these trends can help medical facilities allocate resources more effectively for improved patient care.

Autologous transplantation of fresh ovarian tissue in the ICR mice model

Autologous transplantation of fresh ovarian tissue in the ICR mice model

In this study, we performed orthotopic auto-transplantation of fresh ovarian tissues by transplanting unilateral half ovarian tissue to the contralateral ovary in the ICR (Institute of Cancer Research) strain of outbred, heterogeneous mice to determine if the transplanted tissue could be functional. We found that the freshly transplanted mouse ovarian tissue survived and functional, as histochemical and immunofluorescence assays have shown that not only both follicles at different developing stages and corpus luteum are available, but the morphology of them are properly maintained within the transplanted tissue.

The effects of Helianthus Annuus on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis using Drosophila Melanogaster

The effects of <em>Helianthus Annuus</em> on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis using <em>Drosophila Melanogaster</em>

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) affects nearly 200,000 people worldwide and there is currently no cure. The purpose of the study was to determine if Helianthus annuus seeds helped reduce nerve degeneration and increase locomotion using Drosophila melanogaster as the model organism. Through this experiment, we found a general trend suggesting that H. annuus helped increase the mobility of the D. melanogaster suggesting it could be a viable supplement for patients with ALS.
