    Abstract Purpose: Thirty percent of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) do not develop spoken language. To provide a means of communication for this subset of the population, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems are often utilized. Low-tech options have traditionally been delivered through the in-person modality. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, changes to service delivery models have been required. This randomized controlled trial was conducted in order to assess the efficacy of low-tech AAC delivered face-to-face versus remotely on communication outcomes in nonspeaking children with ASD.
    Conclusions: Both participant groups demonstrated similar gains in AAC proficiency, number and type of nonspeaking acts, and number of spoken communication acts. Remote delivery of low-tech AAC treatment is a viable alternative to face-to-face instruction.

    Abstract In the field of ophthalmology, slit-lamp gonioscopy has long been a cornerstone for examining anterior chamber angles and diagnosing conditions such as angle closure, secondary causes of raised intraocular pressure, neovascularization of angle, angle recession, angle tumors, and foreign bodies. However, the conventional approach for goniophotography is a demanding procedure requiring juggling a gonioscopy lens in one hand and a smartphone in the other. Balancing a gonioscopy lens with one hand makes it difficult to adjust and focus the image in busy clinical settings. This article introduces a groundbreaking solution to this problem - a universal slit-lamp-mounted gonioscope ingeniously repurposed from discarded materials, that is, indirect goniophotography (IndiGo). This novel system simplifies the process of both gonioscopy and goniophotography, allowing ophthalmologists to easily assess anterior chamber angles and capture high-quality images. These images can be swiftly shared with glaucoma specialists worldwide for digital analysis. Not only does this approach enhance examination efficiency, but also it fosters sustainability in ophthalmic diagnostics.

    Abstract Several existing drugs have gained initial consideration due to their therapeutic characteristics against COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019). Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) was proposed as possible therapy for shortening the duration of COVID-19, but soon after this, it was discarded. Similarly, known antiviral compounds were also proposed and investigated to treat COVID-19. We report a pharmacophore screening using essential chemical groups derived from HCQ and known antivirals to search a natural compound chemical space. Molecular docking of HCQ under physiological condition with spike protein, 3C-like protease (3CLpro), and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of SARS-CoV2 showed - 8.52 kcal/mole binding score with RdRp, while the other two proteins showed relatively weaker binding affinity. Docked complex of RdRp-HCQ is further examined using 100 ns molecular dynamic simulation. Docking and simulation study confirmed active chemical moieties of HCQ, treated as 6-point pharmacophore to screen ZINC natural compound database. Pharmacophore screening resulted in the identification of potent hit molecule [(3S,3aR,6R,6aS)-3-(5-phenylsulfanyltetrazol-1-yl)-2,3,3a,5,6,6a-hexahydrofuro[3,2-b]furan-6-yl]N-naphthalen-ylcarbamate from natural compound library. Additionally, a set of antiviral compounds with similar chemical scaffolds are also used to design a separate ligand-based pharmacophore screening. Antiviral pharmacophore screening produced a potent hit 4-[(1,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-2-phenylpyrazol-4-yl)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenylpyrazol-3-one containing essential moieties that showed affinity towards RdRp. Further, both these screened compounds are docked (- 8.69 and - 8.86 kcal/mol) and simulated with RdRp protein for 100 ns in explicit solvent medium. They bind at the active site of RdRp and form direct/indirect interaction with ASP618, ASP760, and ASP761 catalytic residues of the protein. Successively, their molecular mechanics Poisson Boltzmann surface area (MMPBSA) binding energies are calculated over the simulation trajectory to determine the dynamic atomistic interaction details. Overall, this study proposes two key natural chemical moieties: (a) tetrazol and (b) phenylpyrazol that can be investigated as a potential chemical group to design inhibitors against SARS-CoV2 RdRp.

    Abstract Fundus photography is an arduous task as it involves using 90 D in one hand and a smartphone attached on an eyepiece of a slit-lamp biomicroscope in the other hand. Similarly, with a 20 D lens, the filming distance is adjusted by moving the lens or mobile forward or backward, which makes it difficult to adjust and focus the image in busy ophthalmology outpatient departments (OPDs). Moreover, fundus camera costs thousands of dollars. Authors describe a novel technique of performing fundus photography with a 20 D lens and a universal slit-lamp-mounted mobile adapter made from trash. By the use of this simple, yet frugal innovation, primary care physicians or ophthalmologists without a fundus camera can easily snap a fundus photo and subject it to digital analysis by retina specialists across the world. This will help in simultaneous ocular examination and fundus photos taken via mounted 20 D on a slit lamp itself and also reduce the need for unnecessary retina referrals to tertiary eye care centers.

    Abstract RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), also called nsp12, is considered a promising but challenging drug target for inhibiting replication and hence, the growth of various RNA-viruses. In this report, a computational study is performed to offer insights on the binding of Remdesivir and Galidesivir with SARS-CoV2 RdRp with natural substrate, ATP, as the control. It was observed that Remdesivir and Galidesivir exhibited similar binding energies for their best docked poses, -6.6 kcal/mole and -6.2 kcal/mole, respectively. ATP also displayed comparative and strong binding free energy of -6.3 kcal/mole in the catalytic site of RdRp. However, their binding locations within the active site are distinct. Further, the interaction of catalytic site residues (Asp760, Asp761, and Asp618) with Remdesivir and Galidesivir is comprehensively examined. Conformational changes of RdRp and bound molecules are demonstrated using 100 ns explicit solvent simulation of the protein-ligand complex. Simulation suggests that Galidesivir binds at the non-catalytic location and its binding strength is relatively weaker than ATP and Remdesivir. Remdesivir also binds at the catalytic site and showed high potency to inhibit the function of RdRp. Binding of co-factor units nsp7 and nsp8 with RdRp (nsp12) complexed with Remdesivir and Galidesivir was also examined. MMPBSA binding energy for all three complexes has been computed across the 100 ns simulation trajectory. Overall, this study suggests, Remdesivir has anti-RdRp activity

    Abstract Water is a vital resource for plants to grow, thrive, and complete their life cycle. In recent years, drastic changes in the climate, especially drought frequency and severity, have increased, which reduces agricultural productivity worldwide. Aquaporins are membrane channels belonging to the major intrinsic protein superfamily, which play an essential role in cellular water and osmotic homeostasis of plants under both control and water deficit conditions. A genome-wide search reveals the vast availability of aquaporin isoforms, phylogenetic relationships, different families, conserved residues, chromosomal locations, and gene structure of aquaporins. Furthermore, aquaporins gating and subcellular trafficking are commonly controlled by phosphorylation, cytosolic pH, divalent cations, reactive oxygen species, and stoichiometry. Researchers have identified their involvement in regulating hydraulic conductance, root system architecture, modulation of abiotic stress-related genes, seed viability and germination, phloem loading, xylem water exit, photosynthetic parameters, and post-drought recovery. Remarkable effects following the change in aquaporin activity and/or gene expression have been observed on root water transport properties, nutrient acquisition, physiology, transpiration, stomatal aperture, gas exchange, and water use efficiency. The present review highlights the role of different aquaporin homologs under water-deficit stress condition in model and crop plants. Moreover, the opportunity and challenges encountered to explore aquaporins for engineering drought-tolerant crop plants are also discussed here.
