    Abstract The FT/TFL1 gene homolog family plays a crucial role in the regulation of floral induction, seed dormancy and germination in angiosperms. Despite its importance, the FT/TFL1 gene homologs in eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) have not been characterized to date. In this study, we performed a genome-wide identification of FT/TFL1 genes in eggplant using in silico genome mining. The presence of these genes was validated in four economically important eggplant cultivars (Surya, EP-47 Annamalai, Pant Samrat and Arka Nidhi) through Pacbio RSII amplicon sequencing. Our results revealed the presence of 12 FT/TFL1 gene homologs in eggplant, with evidence of diversification among FT-like genes suggesting their possible adaptations towards various environmental stimuli. The amplicon sequencing also revealed the presence of two alleles for certain genes (SmCEN-1, SmCEN-2, SmMFT-1 and SmMFT-2) of which SmMFT-2 was associated with seed dormancy and germination. This association was further supported by the observation that seed dormancy is rarely reported in domesticated eggplant cultivars, but is commonly observed in wild species. A survey of the genetic regions in domesticated cultivars and a related wild species, S. incanum, showed that the alternative allele of S. incanum was present in some members of the Pant Samrat cultivar, but was absent in most other cultivars. This difference could contribute to the differences in seed traits between wild and domesticated eggplants.

    Abstract Phytopathogenic fungi are a diverse and widespread group that has a significant detrimental impact on crops with an estimated annual average loss of 15% worldwide. Understanding the interaction between host plants and pathogenic fungi is critical to delineate underlying mechanisms of plant defense to mitigate agricultural losses. Fungal pathogens utilize suites of secreted molecules, called effectors, to modulate plant metabolism and immune response to overcome host defenses and promote colonization. Effectors come in many flavors including proteinaceous products, small RNAs, and metabolites such as mycotoxins. This review will focus on methods for identifying protein effectors from fungi. Excellent reviews have been published to identify secondary metabolites and small RNAs from fungi and therefore will not be part of this review.

    Abstract Purpose: To present the author's experience with detrusorotomy (DM) for refractory detrusor overactivity (RDO) with open and robotic approach.
    Methods: Children who underwent DM for RDO in a single surgeon series since 2012 were identified from a prospectively maintained database. Those who completed the defined strict bladder cycling regime postoperatively were included in this report excluding those who failed the bladder cycling regime.
    Results: Ten children (M7: F3) were included in this report, six open and four robotic. All procedures were completed with no conversion to open in the robotic group. There were no intra or postoperative complications from the procedures. Duration of procedure was lower in robotic group (125 min) vs the open group at (208 min). Hospital stay was also lower in the robotic group (2.7 days) compared to the open group (5.6 days). All children in open group had concomitant Mitrofanoff channel created for bladder drainage. One child in robotic group had concomitant Mitrofanoff channel during DM. Median follow-up is longer at 54 months (31-82) in open group compared to 14 months (5-21). All children are clinically well with safe upper tracts on US scan in both series. Estimated % change in bladder capacity is similar in both groups at 140 (90-200) and 126 (80-200) for open and robotic groups, respectively.
    Conclusions: DM as an extension of medical treatment for RDO can be performed safely and is effective in children. Preliminary experience with robotic approach to DM is promising with reduced duration of procedure and hospital stay.

    Abstract Anaesthesia for neonates is a composite of good knowledge of neonatal and transitional physiology combined with skill in airway maintenance and vascular access. When the newborn is a preterm, the complexities of management increase due to the small size and accompanying issues such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia and apnoea. World over, the number of survivors of preterm birth is on the increase. We searched Pubmed for "Anesthesia, apnea, neonatal, neonates, physiology, preterm, spinal anesthesia", as well as cross references from review articles. These babies have a high incidence of conditions warranting surgery (e.g., tracheoesophaeal fistula, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, anorectal malformations, incarcerated hernia, necrotising enterocolitis). The possibility of neurodevelopmental harm by anaesthetics is currently the topic of active research. In parallel, advances in paediatric anaesthesia equipment, use of regional and neuraxial anaesthesia and availability of monitoring have steadily increased the safety of anaesthesia in these tiny patients.

    Abstract Introduction: Duplex systems can be complicated by reflux, ureterocele, obstruction (most commonly PUJ in a lower moiety) and wetting secondary to an ectopic ureteric insertion in girls. The decision making algorithm for selection of surgical approach is complex and there is no consensus. The authors described the outcomes following an upper urinary tract approach in 2011(1) and now compare these results in a similar group of patients managed using a lower approach.
    Objectives: To assess whether a top-down or bottom-up approach results in different likelihoods for further surgery.
    Study design: A prospectively database was maintained for consecutive patients undergoing surgery for duplex systems by a single surgeon between 2003 and 2015. Patients were classified into 2 groups; Group 1 initial intention for upper urinary tract approach (heminephroureterectomy-HN) or Group 2 lower urinary tract approach (bladder reconstructive surgery-BRS). The requirement for further surgery was recorded-endoscopic incision (EI), bladder reconstructive surgery (BRS), endoscopic correction of reflux (ECR), heminephroureterectomy (HN). Indications for initial and subsequent surgery included urinary tract infection, VUJ obstruction and incontinence. Endoscopic incision was not performed for patients with an asymptomatic ureterocele. Statistical analysis consisted of Fisher's exact test with a 2 tail p value < 0.05 being statistically significant.
    Results: 79 patients underwent surgery for duplex systems. 39 patients had HN initially (Group 1) and 40 patients had BRS initially (Group 2). Further surgery was performed in 21% of patients from Group 1 (8 BRS) vs 5% of patients from Group 2 (1 redo BRS, 1 ECR). Significantly less additional surgical procedures were performed after BRS compared to HN (p = 0.048). The presence of both reflux and ureterocele increases the chances of further surgery in those patients who had HN initially compared to BRS (p = 0.01). No patients developed urinary retention or required intermittent catheterisation to improve bladder emptying.
    Conclusions: Bladder reconstructive surgery (BRS) reduces the requirement for further surgery compared to heminephroureterectomy (HN) in symptomatic patients with a duplex kidney and either dilating vesicoureteric reflux or ureterocele.

    Abstract This article describes the case of a 21-year-old female habitual contact lens wearer who complained of left eye pain, redness, and decreased vision for one week. When a ring-shaped corneal infiltration indicative of an Acanthamoeba infection was discovered, standard anti-amoebic topical therapy with polyhexamethylene biguanide and chlorhexidine was commenced. However, her keratitis worsened. At the same time, corneal scraping revealed no pathogens. An anterior chamber examination revealed a loss of corneal sensation, and a positive herpes simplex virus (HSV) immunoglobulin G serology test indicated HSV keratitis. She was eventually treated with oral anti-viral medication and recovered completely. Her case was unusual, as she had a history of contact lens use, painful corneal ulceration, and the development of Acanthamoeba keratitis-like corneal ring infiltration. This case also reinforces the various manifestations of HSV keratitis, which lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment.
