New Applications for Real-Time Three-Dimensional Echocardiography
Conventional two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE) has been established as the most widely diagnostic tool in clinical cardiology practice. Its application helps in morphological and functional assessment of cardiac chambers and valves. The advancement in technology of echo machines and its software analysis minimized many difficulties and limitations. However, 2DE application still carries many limitations. It requires mental conceptualization of a series of multiple orthogonal planer or tomographic images into an imaginary multidimensional reconstruction for better understanding of complex intracardiac structures and their spatial relation with surroundings (1). Many of 2DE formula used for volume quantification and ejection fraction calculation especially for left ventricle are based on geometric assumption that may not true providing varied results in the setting of chamber dilatation or distortion and in the presence of regional wall motion abnormalities (2). Interobserver variability for 2DE images interpretation is still due to different ways of data interpolation especially for measurement of mitral and aortic valve orifice area (3,4). These limitations encourage numerous investigators to obviate it by the attempt to obtain three-dimensional images. Three-dimensional echocardiography was developed since more than 15 years provide more accurate assessment of ventricular volume, mass and function and provide a more complete view of the valves. Despite these advantages, it remained a research tool due to many limitations like electrocardiographic and respiratory gating, motion artifacts, time consuming offline analysis and reconstruction. Over the last few years, the advances in transducer and computer software technology led to enhancement of real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) to be applied for clinical utility. The recently developed matrix array transducer consists of approximately 3,000 firing elements improved the contrast resolution and penetration. By this transducer, the entire heart image could be obtained by a pyramidal full-volume acquisition of four cardiac cycles. The development in software made the data off-line analysis faster and easier
ANNs-Based Early Warning System for Indonesian Islamic Banks
This research proposes a development of Early Warning System (EWS) model towards the financial performance of Islamic bank using financial ratios and macroeconomic indicators. The result of this paper is ready-to-use algorithm for the issue that needs to be solved shortly using machine learning technique which is not widely applied in Islamic banking. The research was conducted in three stages using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) technique: the selection of variables that significantly affect financial performance, developing an algorithm as a predictor and testing the predictor algorithm using out of sample data. Finally, the research concludes that the proposed model results in 100% accuracy for predicting Islamic bank’s financial conditions for the next two consecutive months

Resistance in Mungbean to bacterial leaf spot disease
Fifty-eight mungbean genotypes/cultivars of indigenous as well as exotic origin were screened against natural infection of bacterial leaf spot disease under field conditions at National Agriculture Research Centre, Islamabad during Kharif season of 2002. Two genotypes exhibited highly resistant reaction, 10 displayed resistant reaction and 18 were tolerant, while the rest were either susceptible or highly susceptible against the disease. Identified resistant sources may be exploited for the development of high yielding disease resistant cultivars of mungbean by using in hybridization programme.

Assessment of pulmonary valve and right ventricular outflow tract with real-time three-dimensional echocardiography
Aim: Assessment of pulmonary valve (PV) and right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) using real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE). Methods: Two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE) and RT3DE were performed in 50 patients with congenital heart disease (mean age 32 ± 9.5 years, 60% female). Measurements were obtained at parasternal views: short axis (PSAX) at aortic valve level and long axis (PLAX) with superior tilting. RT3DE visualization was evaluated by 4-point score (1: not visualized, 2: inadequate, 3: sufficient, and 4: excellent). Diameters of PV annulus (PVAD), and RVOT (RVOTD) were measured by both 2DE and RT3DE, while areas (PVAA) and (RVOTA) by RT3DE only. Results: By RT3DE, PV was visualized sufficiently in 68% and RVOTexcellently in 40%. PVAD and PVAA were measured in 88%. RVOTD and PVAD by 2DE at PLAX were significantly higher than PSAX (P < 0.0001) and lower than that by RT3DE (P < 0.001). Conclusion: RT3DE helps inRVOT and PV assessment adding more details supplemental to 2DE
Assessing molecular and agronomic diversity in flax genotypes based on SCoT marker profiling, fibre yield contributing characters, and seed yield-related traits
Exploring genetic diversity is crucial for effective breeding strategies to enhance crop performance under diverse environmental conditions and accelerate selection with improved yield and adaptability to climate change. This study aimed to explore the genetic diversity of eleven flax genotypes (Linum usitatissimum L.) using Start Codon Targeted (SCoT) markers and evaluate their performance in fibre yield contributing characters and seed yield-related traits in two field trials during 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 seasons. SCoT markers revealed varying degrees of polymorphism, with primers SCoT-1, SCoT-24, and SCoT-27 displaying 100% polymorphism, indicating high genetic diversity among the genotypes. Genetic similarity analysis categorized the genotypes into four diverse groups. The agronomic performance indicated that ‘S.620’, ‘Sakha 3’, and ‘S.651’ excelled in straw yield and associated traits such as technical length, plant height, fibre percentage, total fibre yield, fibre length, and straw yield, while ‘Sakha 5’ and ‘S.945’ showed the lowest. On the other hand, ‘Sakha 5’ followed by ‘S.933/15/2’ and ‘Sakha 6' were the top performers for seed yield and related characteristics, including fruiting zone length, number of capsules per plant, seed index, seed yield, oil percentage, and seed and oil yields, while ‘IV2’ exhibited the lowest values. Hierarchical clustering divided the genotypes into distinct clusters based on straw and seed performance. Moreover, the principal component analysis highlighted a clear separation between genotypes excelling in straw and seed traits, with strong associations among related characters. These findings provide valuable insights for breeding programs to improve flax fibre and seed production

Epstein-Barr virus: clinical and epidemiological revisits and genetic basis of oncogenesis
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is classified as a member in the order herpesvirales, family herpesviridae, subfamily gammaherpesvirinae and the genus lymphocytovirus. The virus is an exclusively human pathogen and thus also termed as human herpesvirus 4 (HHV4). It was the first oncogenic virus recognized and has been incriminated in the causation of tumors of both lymphatic and epithelial nature. It was reported in some previous studies that 95% of the population worldwide are serologically positive to the virus. Clinically, EBV primary infection is almost silent, persisting as a life-long asymptomatic latent infection in B cells although it may be responsible for a transient clinical syndrome called infectious mononucleosis. Following reactivation of the virus from latency due to immunocompromised status, EBV was found to be associated with several tumors. EBV linked to oncogenesis as detected in lymphoid tumors such as Burkitt's lymphoma (BL), Hodgkin's disease (HD), post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) and T-cell lymphomas (e.g. Peripheral T-cell lymphomas; PTCL and Anaplastic large cell lymphomas; ALCL). It is also linked to epithelial tumors such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), gastric carcinomas and oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL). In vitro, EBV many studies have demonstrated its ability to transform B cells into lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs). Despite these malignancies showing different clinical and epidemiological patterns when studied, genetic studies have suggested that these EBV- associated transformations were characterized generally by low level of virus gene expression with only the latent virus proteins (LVPs) upregulated in both tumors and LCLs. In this review, we summarize some clinical and epidemiological features of EBV- associated tumors. We also discuss how EBV latent genes may lead to oncogenesis in the different clinical malignancie
