Eye of horus â Erratum revealed a prescription survey
Background: The aim of this study was to survey the quality and the content of prescription of practitioners and also assess the legibility of alphabet, and short form of the drug.Methods: AÂ survey of all prescription received by the patients that were written by general practitioners, consulting physicians and dentists in and around Virajpet and Madikeri (south Coorg) was included.The prescriptions were photocopied and returned back to the patients. The prescription was scored and analyzed by a qualified medical investigator.Results: AÂ total of 171 prescription samples were collected. In most prescriptions, one or more aspects of patientâs personal details were missing. Concerned doctorâs details also lacked in most cases. 40.3% of the prescriptions were obtained wherein short form of the drug was used for prescribing drug. Legibility of alphabet was also evaluated and the most confusing letter noted in our study was letter âCâ; followed by A, T, S, O, G, and D in this study the letter Rx was written in 7% of the prescription and in 19% prescription it was replaced by word âAdvâ and 74% of prescription without symbol of Rx.Conclusions: The present data shows most prescriptions in the study was inadequate and important details were lacking, legibility of prescription was poor in rating

Population genomics unravels the Holocene history of Triticum-Aegilops species
Deep knowledge of crop biodiversity is essential to improve global food security. Despite bread wheat serving as a keystone crop worldwide, the population history of bread wheat and its wild relatives (a.k.a. wheats) remains elusive. By analyzing whole-genome sequences of 795 wheats, we found that bread wheat originated southwest of the Caspian Sea âŒ11,700 years ago and underwent a slow speciation process, lasting âŒ3,300 years due to persistent gene flow from wild relatives. Soon after, bread wheat spread across Eurasia and reached Europe, South Asia, and East Asia âŒ7,000 to âŒ5,000 years ago, shaping a diversified but occasionally convergent adaptive landscape of bread wheat in novel environments. Opposite to cultivated wheat, wild wheat populations have declined by âŒ82% in the past âŒ2,000 years due to the food choice shift of humans, and likely continue to drop because of the changing climate. These findings will guide future efforts in protecting and utilizing wheat biodiversity to improve global food security
