Lipid profile in healthy human volunteers before and after consuming ghee.

Food is a cause of concern due to its effect on health and disease. Diet affects the occurrence and progress of non-communicable diseases, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and cancers. The exact dietary composition that helps in the prevention of diseases is not known.

First report of Lasiodiplodia theobromae associated with panicle blight of grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) in India.

Grape (Vitis vinefera L.) is a popular horticulture crop in Karnataka, India. A fungal pathogen caused panicle blight on panicles with immature fruit and severity increased subsequently in the grape growing regions of Devanahalli and Doddaballapur, Karnataka, between August and September 2019.

First report of Athelia rolfsii (=Sclerotium rolfsii) associated with southern blight disease of Macrotyloma uniflorum in India.

Horse gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc., Fabaceae) is an important legume crop cultivated widely in the arid and semiarid regions.

Antibiogram of Salmonella Isolates: Time to Consider Antibiotic Salvage.

Introduction: Enteric fever is a major problem especially in developing countries. Timely and appropriate treatment plays a very important role in reducing the mortality. Fluoroquinolones and cephalosporins are the treatment options for enteric fever.

Nano-morphology induced additional surface plasmon resonance enhancement of SERS sensitivity in Ag/GaN nanowall network.

The GaN nanowall network, formed by opening the screw dislocations by kinetically controlled MBE growth, possesses a large surface and high conductivity. Sharp apexed nanowalls show higher surface electron concentration in the band-tail states, in comparison to blunt apexed nanowalls. Uncapped silver nanoparticles are vapor deposited on the blunt and sharp GaN nanowall networks to study the morphological dependence of band-edge plasmon-coupling.

Japanese encephalitis virus disrupts cell-cell junctions and affects the epithelial permeability barrier functions.

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a neurotropic flavivirus, which causes viral encephalitis leading to death in about 20-30% of severely-infected people. Although JEV is known to be a neurotropic virus its replication in non-neuronal cells in peripheral tissues is likely to play a key role in viral dissemination and pathogenesis. We have investigated the effect of JEV infection on cellular junctions in a number of non-neuronal cells.

Clinical presentation of patients with seasonal influenza and pandemic influenza A (H1N1-2009) requiring hospitalisation.

Background: A sudden increase in the number of novel influenza A virus (pH1N1-2009) infection prompted us to compare the clinical presentation and outcomes of patients infected with pH1N1-2009 and seasonal influenza A virus during the post-pandemic phase.

Methods: During the period August 13 to September 27, 2010, case records of 106 patients with severe influenza like illness (ILI) and respiratory complications who underwent diagnostic testing by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for confirmation of pH1N1-2009 were retrospectively studied.

Results: Nineteen (17.

Bispidine-amino acid conjugates act as a novel scaffold for the design of antivirals that block Japanese encephalitis virus replication.

Background: Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a major cause of viral encephalitis in South and South-East Asia. Lack of antivirals and non-availability of affordable vaccines in these endemic areas are a major setback in combating JEV and other closely related viruses such as West Nile virus and dengue virus. Protein secondary structure mimetics are excellent candidates for inhibiting the protein-protein interactions and therefore serve as an attractive tool in drug development.
