Color Doppler ultrasound in high-low risk pregnancies and its relationship to fetal outcomes: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: To calculate the multivessel color Doppler indices in high-risk and low-risk pregnancies and relate these to fetal outcomes.

Methods: The investigation involved 60 patients who were pregnant. The patients were separated into groups according to assessment of low and high risk.

Radiological Patterns of Lung Injury on HRCT in COVID-19 Patients: An Experience From Tertiary Care Centre in India.

Introduction: During the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, radiological examinations became crucial in assessing the severity and progression of lung injuries in COVID-19 patients.

Aim: This study was done to identify radiological patterns of lung injuries in COVID-19 patients, assess lobar involvement, and perform CT severity scoring on symptomatic patients on a baseline scan.

Methods And Material: All the RT-PCR-positive patients were retrospectively enrolled in the study from August 16, 2020 to October 12, 2020.

Classifying COVID-19 and Viral Pneumonia Lung Infections through Deep Convolutional Neural Network Model using Chest X-Ray Images.

Context: Automated detection of COVID-19 in real time can greatly help clinicians to handle increasing number of cases for preliminary screening. Deep CNN models trained with sufficiently large datasets may become best candidates to meet the purpose.

Aims: This study aims for automated detection and classification of COVID-19 and viral pneumonia diseases by applying deep CNN model using chest X-ray images.

Evaluation of Platelet and Red Blood Cell Parameters with Proposal of Modified Score as Discriminating Guide for Iron Deficiency Anemia and β-Thalassemia Minor.

Introduction: Iron Deficiency Anaemia (IDA) and β-Thalassaemia Minor (BTM) are considered to be important cause of microcytic hypochromic anaemia. Studies have evaluated various red cell parameters which are easily available on electronic cell counters for discrimination of IDA and BTM in different ethnic populations. The analysis of previously established red cell discriminative indices with new cut-off have also been done by studies which may be relevant in their set of population for differentiation.

Scrub typhus in children at a tertiary hospital in north India: clinical profile and complications.

Objective: To study the clinical profile and complications of childhood scrub typhus.

Methods: Prospective observational study of 66 children with scrub typhus, admitted to a tertiary hospital in north India, during the period between January 2011 and December 2012. The diagnosis was confirmed by serology.

Prevalence and pattern of congenital heart disease in Uttarakhand, India.

Objective: To find the prevalence and pattern of congenital heart disease (CHD) at a tertiary care hospital in Uttarakhand, India.

Methods: A thorough history and clinical examination was done for all the live births and children up to 18 y of age who presented to the institute over a period of 3 y from July 2008 through June 2011. Those suspected of having a CHD, were further evaluated with ECG, chest radiography and the diagnosis was confirmed by color Doppler echocardiography.

Identification of Escherichia coli through analysis of 16S rRNA and 16S-23S rRNA internal transcribed spacer region sequences.

A bacterial strain, designated BzDS03 was isolated from water sample, collected from Dal Lake Srinagar. The strain was characterized by using 16S ribosomal RNA gene and 16S-23S rRNA internal transcribed spacer region sequences. Phylogenetic analysis showed that 16S rRNA sequence of the isolate formed a monophyletic clade with genera Escherichia.

Virtual screening and pharmacophore studies for ftase inhibitors using Indian plant anticancer compounds database.

Farnesyl transferase (FTase) is an enzyme responsible for post-translational modification in proteins having a carboxy-terminal CaaX motif in human. It catalyzes the attachment of a lipid group in proteins of RAS superfamily, which is essential in signal transduction. FTase has been recognized as an important target for anti cancer therapeutics.

A ClpP protein model as tuberculosis target for screening marine compounds.

ATP-dependent Clp protease (ClpP) is a core unit of a major bacterial protease complex employing as a new attractive drug target for that isolates, which are resistant to antibiotics. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a gram-positive bacterium, is one of the major causes of hospital acquired infections. ClpP in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is usually tightly regulated and strictly requires a member of the family of Clp-ATPase and often further accessory proteins for proteolytic activation.

A molecular model for diacylglycerol acyltransferase from Mortierella ramanniana var. angulispora.

Acyl CoA diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT, EC 2.3.120) is recognized as a key player of cellular diacylglycerol metabolism.

Identification of Comamonas species using 16S rRNA gene sequence.

A bacterial strain Bz02 was isolated from a water sample collected from river Gomti at the Indian city of Lucknow. We characterized the strain using 16S rRNA sequence. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the strain formed a monophyletic clade with members of the genus Comamonas.

Identification of regulatory elements in 16S rRNA gene of Acinetobacter species isolated from water sample.

A bacterial strain, designated AcBz01, was isolated from a water sample collected from Gomti River, Lucknow, India, and identified using a molecular approach. On the basis of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogeny and comparison of this gene sequence with sequences in Ribosomal Database project II, evidence given in this study, it is proposed that isolate is closely related to members of the genus Acinetobacter. Identification and annotation of regulatory elements in the 16S rRNA gene and characterization of their interaction with the respective transcription factor can provide basis for better understanding of the mechanism of network of gene interaction of functionally related genes.
