Objectives: To study the rates of abnormal placentae and associated adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnant women who had COVID 19 infection during pregnancy, remote from delivery. To study the histopathological findings associated with these abnormal placentae.

Methods: A prospective cohort study was carried out, recruiting pregnant women with singleton gestation, who had COVID 19 infection during their pregnancy, remote from delivery between August 2021 to July 2022.

A material equivalent of a biosynapse is the key to neuromorphic architecture. Here we report a self-forming labyrinthine Ag nanostructure activated with a few pulses of 0.5 V, width and interval set at 50 ms, at current compliance () of 400 nA, serving as the active material for a highly stable device with programmable volatility.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on analyzing multidrug-resistant (MDR) isolates for their ability to form biofilms and the presence of associated genes at a hospital in Nepal.
  • A significant majority of the isolates were found to be strong biofilm producers, with 195 out of 200 being MDR and 192 capable of biofilm formation.
  • Cinnamaldehyde was the most effective compound in inhibiting biofilm formation, with essential oils and Tween 80 also showing high efficacy, providing insights for potential treatment options against these resistant strains.

Background: Indoor air pollution (IAP) is the major contributor (26%) to TB, in addition to other socioeconomic and environmental factors. It occurs in most developing countries like India, where people rely on the combustion of biomass-based solid fuels (low combustion efficiency and high pollution emissions) due to the prevailing socio-economic conditions. However, this cause-and-effect relationship between TB and IAP has not been studied much.
