Optimizing dielectric constant of noncommercial biobased fibres - and - For composite applications with selected fillers.

In recent decades, most electrical/electronic products possess non - biodegradable components. The expanding consumption of these goods and their eventual disposal pose a serious environmental threat. To cope up with this issue, biodegradable electrical/electronic components using biobased fibres can be an alternative option.

Protein interaction studies of curli fimbriae in Escherichia coli biofilms.

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) caused by biofilms on indwelling medical devices are the most common type of nosocomial infections, a major health concern due to complications and frequent recurrence. The infections are most often caused by Escherichia coli. Curli are proteinaceous components of a complex extracellular matrix produced by various strains of Enterobacteriaceae.

Phytochemical derivatives targeting fliJ flagellar protein from .

Approximately 50 per cent of nosocomial infections are caused by the use of indwelling medical devices. The surfaces of devices are ideal sites of attachment for bacterial cells and an increase in biofilm formation. Biofilms have been a constant concern due to their complex extracellular matrix (ECM) resulting in multiple drug resistance.

Sequelae of neglected senile cataract.

Cataract is the most common cause of blindness in the world. An attack of phacolytic and phacomorphic glaucoma as a result of neglected cataract constitutes a medical emergency that must be addressed immediately. Ocular emergencies such as these is challenging for the surgeon with guarded or poor prognosis.

Bilateral spontaneous rupture of anterior lens capsules in a middle-aged woman.

Hypermature cataracts are commonly seen in developing countries. Spontaneous rupture of the anterior capsule, resulting in dislocation of the lens nucleus into the anterior chamber, presents rarely in hypermature cataracts. We describe a middle-aged woman who presented with spontaneous anterior dislocation of the nucleus in both eyes.
