Introduction: Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a zoonotic infectious disease present in Colombia, caused by Mycobacterium bovis, and causes tuberculosis in water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis). Diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis through the intradermal test is difficult; evaluating and understanding the behavior of other diagnostic tests is necessary.
Objective: To describe the behavior and results of different diagnostic methods for bovine tuberculosis in water buffalo positive for the Purifed Proteic Derivate (DPP) intradermal test.
Methodology: In water buffaloes positive for comparative cervical tuberculin test, different diagnostic methods were applied, described, and compared: Ziehl-Neelsen staining, microbiological culture, histopathological analysis, and PCR-HRM.
Results: Histopathological tests showed that 26 water buffalo positive for DPP (52%) had histological lesions compatible with bovine tuberculosis. 37% of the evaluated samples from tuberculin-positive Buffalo's lungs and secondary lymph nodes showed acid-alcohol-resistant bacillus with Ziehl-Neelsen staining. Four samples of Mycobacterium bovis from tuberculin-positive buffalo were isolated and identified, with two of these isolates confirmed from tissues with PCR-HRM, and three buffalo with microbiological isolates presented granulomatous lesions through histological analysis. Seventeen tuberculin-positive buffalo (34%) tested positive for real-time PCR HRM, and nine of these buffalo did not have histological lesions compatible with bTB and were confirmed with the molecular test.
Conclusion: Our results provide positive evidence of histological findings, microbiological isolation, and molecular diagnosis of tuberculin-positive water buffalo in the lowlands of Colombia. None of the complementary tests performed showed 100% concordance with the comparative cervical tuberculin test results for bTB.

Background: Neisseria gonorrhoeae, an obligate human pathogen, is a sexually transmitted disease that causes consequential worldwide morbidity both in resource-abundant and resource-limited nations, and its diagnosis and treatment require costly expenditures annually. Like other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), gonorrhea disproportionately impacts young adult populations.
The aim: The aim of this study to show about characteristics and management of gonorrhea.
Methods: By the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020, this study was able to show that it met all of the requirements. This search approach, publications that came out between 2014 and 2024 were taken into account. Several different online reference sources, like Pubmed, SagePub, and Google Scholar were used to do this. It was decided not to take into account review pieces, works that had already been published, or works that were only half done.
Result: In the PubMed database, the results of our search get 51 articles, whereas the results of our search on SagePub get 551 articles, on Google Scholar 2410 articles. Records remove before screening are 1219, so we get 1793 articles fos screening. After we screened based on record exclude, we compiled a total of 12 papers. We included five research that met the criteria.
Conclusion: The management of N. gonorrhoeae infections was compromised by a low rate of examining sexual partners, females and testing extragenital specimens, screening for HIV, compliance to follow-up visits, access to nucleic acid amplification tests, and receiving questionable or even obsolete antimicrobial treatment. Therefore, more accurate and comprehensive management of gonorrhea is urgently needed.

Authors: Toth Csaba , Petho Laszlo , Rosta Szabolcs 
Published: March 2024

The research project highlights the significance of incorporating reclaimed asphalt (RA) into hot mix asphalt (HMA) production for sustainable road construction. Despite limited RA utilization in Hungary in the past decades, the project demonstrates the feasibility of manufacturing HMA with significant RA content using advanced technology. The establishment of a capable asphalt plant and the development of laboratory assessments and mix design methodologies laid a solid foundation for future high RA integration in Hungarian road projects. Large-scale production trials confirmed the practicality of integrating high RA content into heavy-duty asphalt mixes with various binder types, including normal bitumen (B), polymer modified binder (PmB), and rubber modified bitumen (GmB). The large-scale validation project described in this paper was based on crucial binder blend designs carried out prior to the trials. Production control and performance-based laboratory testing proved that asphalt mixes can be designed and manufactured with high RA content while maintaining performance standards. Balancing resistance to distress modes like rutting and low-temperature cracking through careful binder blend design and mix design is achievable, even with high RA proportions. Visual assessments and production control indicated the uniformity of high RA content asphalt mixes. The details provided in this paper emphasise the potential for economic and environmental benefits through increased RA utilization in Hungarian road construction.
Roadblocks to Hybrid Wheat Seed Production: An Analysis of Constraints
Authors: Pathak Madhwendra Kumar , Srivastava R.P. , Singh Mukesh Kumar 
Published: March 2024

There is great pressure on wheat, a crucial staple crop of global importance due to issues such as climate change, rising population numbers, and both microorganismic (biotic) and mineral (abiotic) stress. Heterosis can be employed in developing superior characters in hybrid wheat resulting from crosses between highly divergent parents. However, hybrid wheat has been beset with problems such as self-pollination, low heterosis, prohibitive production cost, and small scale of consumer acceptance. It explores how hybrid wheats are produced such as chemical hybridising agents, cytoplasmic male sterility and genomic selection. This aspect entails difficulties and complexity associated with hybrid wheat production such as hybrid incompatibility, unstable genetics, diverse heterotic families and requirement for genomic prediction of hybrid vigour. Hybrid wheat’s lag of adoption in India is discussed with a special view put on particular problems associated with that country alone. Nevertheless, there are still some issues associated with heterotic grouping and sterility systems specific for the Indian situation. Nevertheless, significant efforts, including the hybrid network of ICAR or transgenic methods, give hope to future. Finally, it should be noted that although hybrid wheat appears to have a great promise of high yield and good grain quality, bio-genetic limitations must be sorted first. Addressing these hurdles is essential if hybrid wheat is expected to increase food security and improve nutrition amid dwindling water resources due to growing populations worldwide.

Authors: Awosusi Babatope Lanre , Aremu Isiaka Olatoye 
Published: March 2024

Introduction: urothelial carcinomas can develop from any urothelium lined surface in the body and they are the seventh most common cancers seen globally. Urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract (involving the renal pelvis and ureter) is not common.
Case Presentation: A 66-year-old male presented with recurrent left flank pain, recurrent urinary tract infection and occasional haematuria of six month's duration. Abdominal Computerized Tomography (CT) done showed moderate left hydro-ureter and hydro-nephrosis and a mass was seen in the lower one-third of the left ureter. Features seen at CT was suggestive of urothelial carcinoma of the distal left ureter. No mass lesion or tumour was seen in the urinary bladder. Radical nephroureterectomy with excision of the bladder cuff was performed and the diagnosis was confirmed after histopathologic evaluation.
Discussion: This case report highlights the rare presentation of invasive urothelial carcinoma of the ureter with associated obstructive uropathy and the role of radiologic imaging in diagnosis and thorough histopathologic evaluation in the determination of tumour grade and tumour stage and ultimate prognosis of patients.
Conclusion: A high index of suspicion is needed for diagnosis based on presenting symptoms, and examination findings. Tumour grade and stage in upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma are good predictors of clinical outcomes and prognosis.

Published: March 2024

Aims: India is the second most flood-affected country, trailing behind Bangladesh. Over the past two decades, Karnataka has been subjected to severe flooding. Keeping the above in view, a research initiative to analyze the effect of floods on crop and livestock production was undertaken.
Study Design: Multi stage purposive sampling technique was adopted for the study.
Place and Duration of Study: Bagalkot district of Northern Karnataka was purposively selected for the study.
Methodology: The study is based on primary data collected from 90 respondents belonging to Ghataprabha and Krishna river basins in Mudhol (45) and Jamakhandi (45) taluks.
Results: Analysis of cropping patterns reveals sugarcane as the dominant crop with maize also significant. Floods in 2019 caused substantial crop damage, particularly affecting sugarcane and maize, resulting in significant income losses for farmers. The results indicated that the, during 2019, 78.03 and 21.97 per cent of sugarcane and maize areas were affected by floods with a percentage income reduction of 65.84 and 62.87 percent, respectively. The severity of flood was quite less during 2020 where 76.72 and 23.27 percent of sugarcane and maize areas were affected by floods with 29.47 and 33.24 percent, reduction in income respectively.
Conclusion: Livestock losses were also considerable, with farmers facing economic burdens due to animal deaths and injuries. Soil erosion, predominantly splash and sheet erosion, was prevalent during both years, affecting agricultural productivity. Compensation for losses remained inadequate, highlighting challenges in addressing flood-related damages in the region.
