Unravelling the Impact of an Additional Sex Chromosome in an Adult Female by Sigin George, Vikas Dagar, Barun Kumar Chakrabarty, N. Nagaraja

“…Chromosomal microarray, which is a more expensive test, substantiated the presence of additional X chromosomes but failed to detect the presence of low level of mosaicism. Our case study emphasised the recommendation of performing a strategy-based cost-effective cytogenetic evaluation of all cases of decreased ovarian reserve or low anti-Müllerian hormone levels in a resource-constrained setting. …”

Relationship between ecological spatial network and vegetation carbon use efficiency in the Yellow River Basin, China by Chenglong Xu, Xiang Chen, Qiang Yu, Buyanbaatar Avirmed, Jikai Zhao, Wei Liu, Weijie Sun

“…Subsequently, the interrelationship between topological metrics and vegetation CUE was analyzed, and optimization strategies were proposed based on the significance of the structure and function. The findings revealed that: (1) Vegetation CUE exhibited a spatially decreasing trend from the western to eastern regions, with spatial patterns correlated with vegetation types, temperature, and precipitation distribution; (2) The ecological spatial network demonstrated a denser configuration in the upper and middle reaches and a sparser and shorter pattern in the lower reaches, with seamless connectivity among all regions; (3) Significant correlations were observed between topological metrics and vegetation CUE, prompting the adoption of ecological construction and protection measures when functional importance is deficient, and enhancing the connectivity of ecological sources through the augmentation of ecological corridors when structural importance is lacking. …”
