Abstract—Hutchinson–Gilford Progeria Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by premature aging involving the skin, bones, heart, and blood vessels. We report a five year old female child with clinical manifestations characteristic of this syndrome. This child had a senile look with large cranium, frontal bossing, sparse light brown hair and dilated visible veins over the scalp. Other features were prominent eyes, beaked nose, micrognathia, sclerodermatous changes in both feet and legs, laxed and atrophic skin over dorsum of both hands and mottled pigmentation over trunk. Decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels was characteristic of the syndrome. This case is reported for its rarity and uncommon relationship with hypothyroidism.
A case of Alport syndrome presented with bilateral anterior lenticonusBIJCROO
Purpose: The aim of this study was to report a rare case of Alport syndrome presented with bilateral anterior
lenticonus in a 16-year-old boy.
Case report: A 16-year-old boy presented with decreased vision, a hearing defect, anemia, and proteinuria. His
best corrected visual acuity was 6/18 in both eyes. Slit lamp biomicroscope showed anterior lenticonus in both
eyes. He was managed by correction of refractive error and urgent referral to a nephrologist.
Conclusion: It is easy to diagnose Alport syndrome clinically, and close communication among ophthalmologists,
otorhinolaryngologists, and nephrologists is crucial for effective management of this syndrome.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations.

While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. DEFINATION• “ one gene controls for the expression of multiple phenotypic traits”. These traits
don’t have to be clearly linked, i.e., eye shape and eye color, but can instead be
completely unrelated.
• Old concept
• One gene ---------one trait(product
• One gene------------ more then one trait (gene controle more then one trait
Pleiotropic gene)
• Effect of gene is called pleiotropic effect
• Phenomena is called pleiotropy
4. HISTORY By Ludwing plate and published in
1910
Pleitropy was first noticed by
geneticist Gregor Mendel, who is
known for his famous studies with
pea plants. Mendel noticed that plant
flower color (white or purple) was
always related to the color of
the leaf axil (area on a plant stem
consisting of the angle between the
leaf and upper part of the stem)
and seed coat.
5. EXAMOLES OF PLEIOTROPY
1. PHENYLEKETONEUREA OR PKU
Phenylketonuria also called PKU, is a rare inherited disorder that causes an amino
acid called phenylalanine to build up in the body.
an enzyme needed to break down phenylalanine. Without the enzyme necessary to
process phenylalanine, a dangerous buildup can develop
a person with PKU eats foods that contain protein or eats aspartame, an artificial
sweetener.
2. Tyrosine-------melanie (albomine) skin pigmentation and hair

9. THE FEIZZELED FEATHER TRAIT
HISTORY
It was observed by Walter Landauer and Elizabeth Upham in 1963 that the chickens
that exhibit the dominant frizzle genes mostly produce feathers that curl on their
whole bodies instead of lying flat against their skin.
The KRT75 gene is considered as the dominant gene responsible for the frizzle trait
in several chicken breeds,
Chickens with this particular mutated feather gene display feathers that curl outward
as opposed to lying flat.
loss of body heat requiring a faster basal metabolism to maintain homeostasis.
faster metabolism
higher food consumption,
enlarged organs.
infertility,
and sexual maturation delays.
10. CONCLOSION
A deletion in the KRT75L4 gene is responsible for the frizzle feather phenotype in
the Kirin chicken.
The identification of this mutation, which causes a developmental defect of avian
integument appendages, will improve our understanding of the mechanisms that are
involved in feather formation.
11. SICKLE CELL ANEMIA
HISTORY
Dr. Earnest E. Irons, the intern who was on duty that day, performed a routine blood
test and a urine analysis for Noel and was the first to observed these “pear shaped,
elongated” sickled blood cells.
Sickel shape cells
Sickle cell is a result of a mutation in the beta-globin gene.
The results in red blood cells sickle-shaped, which causes them to clump together
and become stuck in blood vessels, blocking normal blood
Heme contains iron and gives a red color to the molecule.
Globin consists of two linked pairs of polypeptide chains.
12.
13. CROSS BETWEEN TWO SICKEL CELL
CARRIER
• Thus a marriage between 2 sickle cell anemic
carriers produces 1 normal, 2 sickle cell
carriers and 1 sickle cell anemic children in the
ratio 1:2:1.
• But as the anemic child dies the ratio of sickle
cell carriers and normal becomes 2:1.
16. MECHANISMS
HbS sticks together
Forms long rods form inside RBC
RBC become rigid, inflexible, and sickle-shaped
blocks small blood vessels
Less oxygen to tissues of body
RBCs containing HbS have a shorter lifespan
Normally 20 days
Chronic state of anemia
21. THE VESTIGIAL GENE IN FRUIT FLIES
Role in the development of the wing of the drosophila,
short wings
unable to fly
Homozygous for the recessive form of the vestigial gene (vg).
Reduced numbers of eggs present in the ovaries of the flies,
Change in the places of the bristles on the scutellum of the flies,
Reduced time span of the life cycle of the flies
23. DEAFNESS AND PEGMENTATION IN CATES
Around forty percent of cats that exhibit white fur
and blue eyes are found to be deaf.
White cats that have one blue eye and another yellow
eye were blind from the one eye and that was mostly
the blue eye but later one it was seen that this
phenomenon of blindness
It is not always valid to all breeds of the cats.
25. MARFAN SYNDROME
The inherited disorder that results in the connectivity issues in the
tissues is called the marfan syndrome.
This syndrome affects the eyes, heart, skeleton, and blood vessels.
Long heightened, thin bodies with long legs, arms, fingers, and toes
Aortic aneurysm, aortic dissection, and valve malformations are the
results of cardiovascular complications.
On the other hand, eye complications, lens dislocations, retinal
problems, and early-onset glaucoma also known as cataracts are very
important. .
