The kidney is an abdominal organ in the human body that supports filtering excess water and waste from the blood. Kidney diseases generally occur due to changes in certain supplements, medical conditions, obesity, and diet, which causes kidney function and ultimately leads to complications such as chronic kidney disease, kidney failure, and other renal disorders. Combining patient metadata with computed tomography (CT) images is essential to accurately and timely diagnosing such complications. Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have transformed medical fields by providing high accuracy in complex tasks. However, the high computational cost of these models is a significant challenge, particularly in real-time applications. This paper proposed SpinalZFNet, a hybrid deep learning approach that integrates the architectural strengths of Spinal Network (SpinalNet) with the feature extraction capabilities of Zeiler and Fergus Network (ZFNet) to classify kidney disease accurately using CT images. This unique combination enhanced feature analysis, significantly improving classification accuracy while reducing the computational overhead. At first, the acquired CT images are pre-processed using a median filter, and the pre-processed image is segmented using Efficient Neural Network (ENet). Later, the images are augmented, and different features are extracted from the augmented CT images. The extracted features finally classify the kidney disease into normal, tumor, cyst, and stone using the proposed SpinalZFNet model. The SpinalZFNet outperformed other models, with 99.9% sensitivity, 99.5% specificity, precision 99.6%, 99.8% accuracy, and 99.7% F1-Score in classifying kidney disease. Graphical Abstract

Congenital heart defects (CHD) appear in almost one percent of live births. Asian countries have the highest birth prevalence of CHD in the world. Recessive genotypes may represent a CHD risk factor in Asian populations with a high degree of consanguineous marriages. Genetic analysis of consanguineous families may represent a relatively unexplored source for investigating CHD etiology. To obtain insight into the contribution of recessive genotypes in CHD we analysed a cohort of forty-nine Pakistani CHD probands, originating from consanguineous unions. The majority (82%) of patient’s malformations were septal defects. We identified protein altering, rare homozygous variants (RHVs) in the patient’s coding genome by whole exome sequencing. The patients had a median of seven damaging RHVs each, and our analysis revealed a total of 758 RHVs in 693 different genes. By prioritizing these genes based on variant severity, loss-of-function intolerance and specific expression in the developing heart, we identified a set of 23 candidate disease genes. These candidate genes were significantly enriched for genes known to cause heart defects in recessive mouse models (P < 2.4e−06). In addition, we found a significant enrichment of cilia genes in both the initial set of 693 genes (P < 5.4e−04) and the 23 candidate disease genes (P < 5.2e−04). Functional investigation of ADCY6 in cell- and zebrafish-models verified its role in heart development. Our results confirm a significant role for cilia genes in recessive forms of CHD and suggest important functions of cilia genes in cardiac septation.

Mathematical modeling of Ebola using delay differential equations - Ali Raza; Nauman Ahmed; Muhammad Rafiq; Ali Akgül; Alicia Cordero; Juan R. Torregrosa (Modeling Earth Systems and Environment, 2024)
Nonlinear delay differential equations (NDDEs) are essential in mathematical epidemiology, computational mathematics, sciences, etc. In this research paper, we have presented a delayed mathematical model of the Ebola virus to analyze its transmission dynamics in the human population. The delayed Ebola model is based on the four human compartments susceptible, exposed, infected, and recovered (SEIR). A time-delayed technique is used to slow down the dynamics of the host population. Two significant stages are analyzed in the said model: Ebola-free equilibrium (EFE) and Ebola-existing equilibrium (EEE). Also, the reproduction number of a model with the sensitivity of parameters is studied. Furthermore, the local asymptotical stability (LAS) and global asymptotical stability (GAS) around the two stages are studied rigorously using the Jacobian matrix Routh–Hurwitz criterion strategies for stability and Lyapunov function stability. The delay effect has been observed in the model in inverse relation of susceptible and infected humans (it means the increase of delay tactics that the susceptibility of humans increases and the infectivity of humans decreases eventually approaches zero which means that Ebola has been controlled into the population). For the numerical results, the Euler method is designed for the system of delay differential equations (DDEs) to verify the results with an analytical model analysis.

Investigation of genetic diversity among autochthonous grape cultivars grown in Türkiye using molecular primers - Ahmet Sümbül; Ercan Yildiz; Ali Sabir; Muhammad Azhar Nadeem (Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 2024)
Grape is a type of fruit widely grown globally and in Türkiye thanks to its importance in human nutrition and diversity of usage areas. Türkiye has a long history of grape cultivation, and the genetic diversity of local grapes grown in some regions has still not been revealed. This study showed the genetic diversity between 60 local grape genotypes selected from north Central Anatolia and nine reference grape cultivars;10 inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) and 7 inter-primer binding site (IPBS) retrotransposon primers were used. The mean values of genetic diversity indices in ISSR and IPBS retrotransposon primers were calculated as expected allelic frequency (p) 0.476/0.195, observed allelic frequency (q) 0.524/0.805, number of effective alleles (Ne) 1.326/1.378, Shannon’s information index (I) 0.308/0.367, expected heterozygosity (He) 0.199/0.232 and unbiased expected heterozygosity (uHe) 0.201/0.234, respectively. Unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) and model-based STRUCTURE analysis divided the studied germplasm into two groups. However, local genotypes were not grouped per the regions where they grew. As a result of the analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) analysis, the inter-population variation was determined to be 11%, and the intra-population variation was determined to be 89%. The mean genetic differentiation value (Fst) between populations was 0.303. The results showed that ISSR and IPBS retrotransposon primers effectively explained the genetic diversity.

The strains were applied to the rice varieties basmati 385 and super basmati under field conditions for two consecutive years. A significantly improved growth of rice plants, such as plant height (102–118 cm), number of tillers per plant (8.5–11.5), chlorophyll content (29.5–35.1), zinc requiring enzymes, i.e., superoxide dismutase (396–570 per gram fresh weight (g −1 FW)), carbonic anhydrase activity (CA) (10–15.06 U g −1 FW) and grain yield (3.0–3.8 tons ha −1 ), was observed in the plants inoculated with Bacillus sp. in the presence of chemical fertilizer (ZnSO 4 ). Consortium of zinc solubilizing bacteria also caused higher grain Zn content (25.0–30.5 mg kg −1 ) of the rice varieties basmati 385 and super basmati as compared to that of un-inoculated plants. Hence, it can be concluded that Zn solubilizing bacteria has immense potential to be used as agricultural crop inoculants as they synergize the effect of chemical Zn, increase yield and improve the nutritional value of crops.

Aim We test the hypothesis that wind dispersal is more common among emergent tree species given that being tall increases the likelihood of effective seed dispersal. Location Americas, Africa and the Asia‐Pacific. Time period 1970–2020. Major taxa studied Gymnosperms and Angiosperms. Methods We used a dataset consisting of tree inventories from 2821 plots across three biogeographic regions (Americas, Africa and Asia‐Pacific), including dry and wet forests, to determine the maximum height and dispersal strategy of 5314 tree species. A web search was used to determine whether species were wind‐dispersed. We compared differences in tree species maximum height between biogeographic regions and examined the relationship between species maximum height and wind dispersal using logistic regression. We also tested whether emergent tree species, that is species with at least one individual taller than the 95% height percentile in one or more plots, were disproportionally wind‐dispersed in dry and wet forests within each biogeographic region. Results Our dataset provides maximum height values for 5314 tree species, of which more than half (2914) had no record of this trait in existing global databases. We found that, on average, tree species in the Americas have lower maximum heights compared to those in Africa and the Asia Pacific. The probability of wind dispersal increased significantly with tree species maximum height and was significantly higher among emergent than non‐emergent tree species in both dry and wet forests in all three biogeographic regions. Main conclusion Wind dispersal is more prevalent in tall, emergent tree species than in non‐emergent species and may thus be an important factor in the evolution of tree species maximum height. By providing the most comprehensive dataset so far of tree species maximum height and wind dispersal strategies, this study paves the way for advancing our understanding of the eco‐evolutionary drivers of tree size.
