Capturing plant intrigue

electron micrographs of many plant features and details of their reproduction. “Our work results from an enthusiasm to communicate and express our shared passion and fascination for the beauty of sexual reproduction among flowering plants,” the authors write. Their aim is to engage audiences for the research and conservation work in the plant sciences carried out throughout the world. And they ...

Gastric Trichobezoar: An Enduring Intrigue

Trichobezoar is a rare condition that may pose a diagnostic challenge. Patients with this condition often have an underlying psychiatric illness, and history may not be easily forthcoming. The condition should be entertained especially in young females. Delay in diagnosis may lead to futile complications. We report a classic case of trichobezoar in terms of patient profile, presentation, and in...

Anodal Stimulation - The Intrigue Continues

When cardiac pacing is performed in the bipolar configuration, both the cathode (negatively charged electrode) and the anode (positively charged electrode) are in contact with the myocardium. Myocardial stimulation by the pacing stimulus typically occurs only at the interface with the cathode. This is because (i) given equal sized electrodes, anodal stimulation has a higher threshold compared t...

Floradig: a configurable program for capturing plant architecture

Floradig is computer software for measuring and recording plant architecture and how it changes over time. It is generic in that it can be configured to collect plant architecture data for any species of plant at any level of detail. It uses a systematic, hierarchical, approach to address the modular nature of plants in which complex architectures are constructed from limited sets of components...
