Elevated translationally controlled tumour protein promotes oral cancer progression and poor outcome.

Background: Translationally controlled tumour protein (TCTP) is a multifunctional protein elevated in multiple cancers. However, studies on its role in oral carcinogenesis and prognosis are rare. We recently reported the role of its interacting partner, MCL1, in oral cancer progression and outcome.

Satellite Epidemic of Covid-19 Associated Mucormycosis in India: A Multi-Site Observational Study.

Background: Sudden upsurge in cases of COVID-19 Associated Mucormycosis (CAM) following the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic was recorded in India. This study describes the clinical characteristics, management and outcomes of CAM cases, and factors associated with mortality.

Methods: Microbiologically confirmed CAM cases were enrolled from April 2021 to September 2021 from ten diverse geographical locations in India.

Impact of Genotype on Echinocandin Susceptibility in Candida auris and Response in a Murine Model of Infection.

Echinocandins are frontline antifungal agents in the management of invasive infections due to multidrug resistant Candida auris. The study aimed to evaluate echinocandin resistance in C. auris isolates of multicentric origin, identify the resistance mechanism, and analyze the pharmacodynamic response to caspofungin in a neutropenic mouse model of infection.

Roxb. and Lam. Flowers: New Sources of Bioactive Compounds.

Lam. () and Roxb. () are two endemic plants that grow on the Asian continent.

The crosslinguistic acquisition of sentence structure: Computational modeling and grammaticality judgments from adult and child speakers of English, Japanese, Hindi, Hebrew and K'iche'.

This preregistered study tested three theoretical proposals for how children form productive yet restricted linguistic generalizations, avoiding errors such as *The clown laughed the man, across three age groups (5-6 years, 9-10 years, adults) and five languages (English, Japanese, Hindi, Hebrew and K'iche'). Participants rated, on a five-point scale, correct and ungrammatical sentences describing events of causation (e.g.

Dynamics of in vitro development of azole resistance in Candida tropicalis.

Objectives: Increasing incidence of azole resistance in Candida tropicalis, especially to fluconazole, has been seen in Asian countries including India. Limited knowledge is available on the molecular mechanisms associated with the development of azole resistance in C. tropicalis.

Molecular modeling in dioxane methanol interaction.

Molecular interaction between dioxane and methanol involves certain polar and nonpolar bonding to form a one to one complex. Interatomic distances between hydrogen and oxygen within 3 Å have been considered as hydrogen bonding. Optimizations of the structures of dioxane-methanol complexes were carried out considering any spatial orientation of a methanol molecule around a chair/boat/twisted-boat conformation of dioxane.

Budd-Chiari syndrome in a patient of diabetic ketoacidosis.

We report a rare case of Budd-Chiari syndrome developing in a patient undergoing treatment for diabetic ketoacidosis. A 27-year-old female presented with newly detected Type 1 diabetes with sepsis in ketoacidosis. During the process of treatment, she developed pain abdomen, ascites, and pedal edema.

Quadriparesis in diabetes due to dyselectrolytemia.

A tendency for magnesium deficiency in patients with diabetes mellitus is well established. Hypomagnesemia is commonly associated with hypokalemia and hypocalcemia. Here, we report a case of a 55 yr old woman with diabetes mellitus, presenting with acute onset quadriparesis, paresthesia and muscle cramps, associated with hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia and hypocalcemia, with total recovery on correction of electrolytes for which no other secondary cause could be ascertained.

Induced thermal dynamics in the melt of glycerol and aerosil dispersions.

A high-resolution calorimetric spectroscopy study has been performed on pure glycerol and colloidal dispersions of an aerosil gel in glycerol covering a wide range of temperatures from 300 to 380 K, deep in the liquid phase of glycerol. The colloidal glycerol+aerosil samples with 0.07, 0.

Kinetics of induced crystallization of the LC(1-x)Sil(x) system.

This study explores the kinetics of a new feature, called "induced crystallization (IC)", observed in an Aerosil dispersed octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB) liquid crystal system. Heating rate dependent experiments were performed using modulation differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC) at various heating ramp rates. In the presence of Aerosil nanoparticles, a well-defined exothermic peak was found as an additional feature on the heating scan before the melting transition, which was absent in the bulk 8CB; hence, we like to call it an "IC" as it is induced by Aerosil nanoparticles in the system.

Role of aerosil dispersion on the activated kinetics of the LC1-xSilx system.

This study explores the role of aerosil dispersion on activated phase transitions of bulk octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB) liquid crystals by performing heating rate-dependent experiments. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used at various heating ramp rates in order to probe the activated phase dynamics of the system. The system, LC1-xSilx, was prepared by mixing aerosil nanoparticles (7 nm in diameter) in the bulk 8CB by the solvent dispersion method (SDM).

Thermodynamics of activated phase transitions of 8CB: DSC and MC calorimetry.

The present paper reports the heating rate effect on the phase transitions of a pure liquid crystal octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB) with use of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Modulation Calorimetry (MC) techniques. The DSC runs were taken at various temperature ramp rates from 20 to 0.5 K/min for heating and cooling scans.
