Caenorhabditis elegans is an excellent model to study animal chemotaxis and thermotaxis behaviours. These nematodes have highly predictable behaviour pattern towards olfactory cues. A complex chemosensory information processing, based on both temporal and spacial cues, is involved in chemotaxis behavi...
Graphene, sp2 hybridized carbon framework of one atom thickness, is reputed as the strongest material to date. It has marked its impact in manifold applications including electronics, sensors, composites, and catalysis. Current state-of-the-art graphene research revolves around its biomedical applicat...
2D materials have gained spectacular status across various scientific and technological disciplines owing to their exceptional unique properties. The very recent member of 2D family, Black Phosphorus monolayers, known as Phosphorene have attracted recent scientific attention since its first exfoliatio...
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) represent a novel type of metal oxide nanoparticles enabling a new horizon for biomedical applications spanning from diagnosis to treatment. ZnO NPs are extensively used in commercial products such as sunscreens and daily-care products. Apart from that,...
Fever is one of the cardinal symptoms of onset of an infection or inflammation and is the common clinical indicator for medical consultation in mammalian host worldwide. Simply, fever manifested with elevation of body temperature from normal physiological range represents adaptive response&#...
Introduction: Infective endocarditis (IE) is an infection of the heart valves with an aggregation of bacteria in a fibrin plaque called vegetation. Aims and Objectives: This is a retrospective study of all infective endocarditis cases due to alpha haemolytic streptococci and enterococci....
2 dimensional (2D) materials are budding new class of materials with exciting potential in optical, electrical, chemical and biomedical applications. Inspired by the attractive properties of graphene attributing to its 2D structure has stimulated researchers to hunt for new 2D materials. Uni...
In this study, we aim to use the fluorescence spectroscopic data as a preliminary forensic evidence for the detection of saliva stains from the surface of drinking glass, to see the potential of utilizing a comparatively simple method to trace the presence of saliva from ...
A novel surfactant free hydrothermal method was developed for the preparation of large hydroxyapatite scaffolds. Synthetic calcium carbonate (calcite) was used as the starting material which when mixed with an inorganic setting solution containing phosphoric acid and sodium hydroxide forms the&#x...
BACKGROUND: Genetic variability in LRRK2 has been unequivocally established as a major risk factor for familial and sporadic forms of PD in ethnically diverse populations. OBJECTIVES: To resolve the role of LRRK2 in the Indian population. METHODS: We pe...
Task-shifting to non-physician health workers (NPHWs) has been an effective model for managing infectious diseases and improving maternal and child health. There is inadequate evidence to show the effectiveness of NPHWs to manage cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). In 2012, the Global Alliance f...
Data on health-related quality of life (HRQL) from India are limited. We conducted this community based cross sectional study to find out the HRQL and its correlates among older adults in one of the most advanced Indian districts in epidemiologic and demographic transition. We ...
Background Efforts to establish the 2015 baseline and monitor early implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) highlight both great potential for and threats to improving health by 2030. To fully deliver on the SDG aim of “leaving no one behind”, it is ...
Background Global development goals increasingly rely on country-specific estimates for benchmarking a nation's progress. To meet this need, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2016 estimated global, regional, national, and, for selected locations, subnational&#x...
Background Assessments of age-specific mortality and life expectancy have been done by the UN Population Division, Department of Economics and Social Affairs (UNPOP), the United States Census Bureau, WHO, and as part of previous iterations of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries,&#x...
Background Population estimates underpin demographic and epidemiological research and are used to track progress on numerous international indicators of health and development. To date, internationally available estimates of population and fertility, although useful, have not been produced with trans...
