Validation and efficacy of a tele-yoga intervention for improving psychological stress, mental health and sleep difficulties of stressed adults diagnosed with long COVID: a prospective, multi-center, open-label single-arm study.

The objective of this study was to validate and test the efficacy of a 16-week tele-yoga intervention for perceived stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia in individuals who had had COVID-19 infection in the previous year, and had reported moderately high levels of psychological stress (PSS ≥14). 25 and 50-min versions of the program were developed. They were then validated using Lawshe's content validity ratio after obtaining feedback from 20 yoga therapy experts.

Metagenomics insight into Puga geothermal geyser located in Himalayan Geothermal Belt (Trans-Himalayan Plateau) Ladakh, India.

Puga geothermal geyser and surrounding area, located in the Himalayan Geothermal Belt of the Trans-Himalayan Plateau in Ladakh, India, are very geographically isolated and considered pristine and free of anthropogenic activities. In this study, we have conducted the first metagenomic investigation of the microbes in and around the geyser. The whole genome sequencing analysis showed the presence of a total of 44.

Deciphering the microbial communities of alkaline hot spring in Panamik, Ladakh, India using a high-throughput sequencing approach.

Due to their distinctive physicochemical characteristics, hot springs are extremely important. The whole genome metagenomic sequencing technology can be utilized to analyze the diverse microbial community that thrives in this habitat due to the particular selection pressure that prevails there. The current investigation emphasizes on culture-independent metagenomic study of the Panamik hot spring and its nearby areas from Ladakh, India.

Microbial diversity analysis of Chumathang geothermal spring, Ladakh, India.

In light of their unique and challenging environment, the high-altitude Chumathang geothermal springs in Ladakh, India, are undeniably intriguing for microbiological study. The purpose of this study was to employ a culture-independent sequencing approach to give a comprehensive characterization of the unknown bacterial and archaeal community structure, composition and networks in water and soil from the Chumathang geothermal spring. A total of 50%, and 42.

Type and screen method and Coombs crossmatch method for pretransfusion testing: A prospective comparative study in a tertiary care hospital in Delhi.

Background: The aim of pretransfusion testing (PTT) is to prevent the immune-mediated hemolytic reaction by the transfusion of incompatible donor red cells. The methods of PTT have evolved over the years and a new method of type and screen (T and S) was introduced, in which only ABO grouping, Rh typing, and antibody screening would be carried out with omission of routine Coombs crossmatch. Although T and S is an accepted method for PTT in developed countries, only a few studies in literature have evaluated its efficacy in India.

Characterization of petroleum degrading bacteria and its optimization conditions on effective utilization of petroleum hydrocarbons.

Hydrocarbon contamination is continuing to be a serious environmental problem because of their toxicity. Hydrocarbon components have been known to be carcinogens and neurotoxic organic pollutants. The physical and chemical methods of petroleum removal have become ineffective and also are very costly.

Physiological and genomic evidence supports the role of Serratia quinivorans PKL:12 as a biopriming agent for the biohardening of micropropagated Picrorhiza kurroa plantlets in cold regions.

The medicinal herb, Picrorhiza kurroa Royle ex Benth has become endangered because of indiscriminate over-harvesting. Although micropropagation has been attempted for mass propagation of the plant, survival of in vitro plantlets under green house/open field poses a major challenge. Biopriming of micropropagated plantlets with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are among the successful methods to combat this problem.

Magnetically tuned thermoelectric behavior of Zn-doped magnetite nanofluids.

In the present work, magneto thermoelectric behavior of the Zn-doped magnetite nanofluids is reported. Thermal and electrical conductivity studies have been done, compared and determined to be in line with the theoretical models. Thermoelectric voltage measurements have been carried out in the fluid samples for quite a number of temperature differences at various magnetic fields, and the Seebeck coefficient is calculated from the obtained measurements.

Diversity in addiction publishing.

With the aim of investigating diversity in the addiction journal publishing field, information about 41 peer-reviewed addiction journals and their total content for the year 2018 were collected. Quantitative and qualitative content analytical methods were employed to map geographic and gender representation among authors and editors as well as the level of epistemic heterogeneity in terms of the share of qualitative research publications. Affiliations among authors and editors showed an overwhelming US and Anglophone dominance.

Effect of Foot Reflexology as an Add-on Intervention on Pain Among Women Having Undergone Mastectomy.

A single group quasi-experimental study was conducted among 40 women on the flrst day after they underwent mastectomy. Subjects were selected by convenience sampling technique. A single sessionfoot reflexology was administered among post-mastectomy women.

Down-regulation of osmotin (PR5) gene by virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) leads to susceptibility of resistant Piper colubrinum Link. to the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora capsici Leonian.

Piper colubrinum Link., a distant relative of Piper nigrum L., is immune to the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora capsici Leonian that causes 'quick wilt' in cultivated black pepper (P.

Predictors of depression among patients with diabetes mellitus in Southern India.

Objective: Diabetes mellitus and depression are major public health problems and are significantly linked with each other. This research study intends to assess for undiagnosed depression and its predictors among adult diabetic patients.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was done among 100 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus attending the diabetic clinic of a tertiary care hospital.
