Introduction: Though, having right set of behavioural skills is always been a priority of all organizations, nevertheless, today's organizations are investing too much on behavioural skill training to safeguard their brand value, bring-up the work culture, maintaining reputation, etc. Behavioural skills plays a vital role in personal development and well-being at student level also. This paper identifies and analyzes the fourteen behavioural skills which are vital in the personal and professional excellence development of a student.

Mitochondrial dysregulation is pivotal in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Calcium governs vital mitochondrial processes impacting energy conversion, oxidative stress, and cell death signaling. Disruptions in mitochondrial calcium (Ca) handling induce calcium overload and trigger the opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore, ensuing energy deprivation and resulting in AD-related neuronal cell death.

Objective: P450 side-chain cleavage deficiency (SCCD) patients present with primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) with or without undervirilized external genitalia. The distinction between classic and nonclassic steroidogenic acute regulatory protein deficiency has been described, whereas in SCCD is unclear. The data on gonadal function and its correlation with SCCD genotype has not been studied.

We discovered tolvaptan as a new Eg5 inhibitor using molecular dynamics simulation-based virtual screening. The Eg5-monastrol, Eg5-ispinesib, and Eg5-STLC complexes with "closed" L5 conformation obtained in MD simulation were used to generate a combined pharmacophore model, and this model was used during the process of virtual screening. Further, the MD simulation for 1 µs showed that the binding of tolvaptan to Eg5 was stable due to the closure of the α2/L5/α3 pocket.
