Response surface optimization of cellulase production by NFCCI 5299 in shake flask submerged fermentation using wheat bran.

The expense of cellulase enzymes is the main barrier to the enzymatic saccharification of biomass. Numerous tactics, such as the utilizing inexpensive lignocellulosic substrates as well as economically feasible fermentation techniques for the production of the enzyme may reduce the cost of cellulases. The present investigation was aimed to improve cellulase production employing potential cellulolytic soil fungi, NFCCI 5299 using wheat bran as substrate.

Role of telemedicine in obstetrics and gynecology: an experience at tertiary care center.

Background: The telemedicine/telehealth is well established and rapidly evolving innovation in modern practice of medicine. It is used in nearly every aspect of obstetrics and gynecology. Telehealth intervention may reduce the need for in-person visits amongst high-risk obstetric patients.

Acute kidney injury and it's outcome following maternal near miss event: A prospective observational study from a tertiary care hospital.

Purpose: Haemorrhage, preeclampsia and sepsis are the leading causes of renal dysfunction in women with a maternal nearmiss(MNM) complication. The study aimed to assess the prevalence, pattern and follow up of these women.

Methods: This was a hospital based prospective observational study, conducted over one year.

Impact of covid 19 pandemic on severe maternal outcomes -An observational study from a referral institute of India.

Introduction: Covid 19 pandemic has taken the world by storm. As far as maternal health is concerned, it has been affected both directly and indirectly. Not only are the women getting affected by COVID disease but also the health services are suffering in terms of availability, approachability and access.

Pyoderma gangrenosum at an episiotomy site in successive pregnancies: A case report.

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is an ulcerative, neutrophil-predominant inflammatory disease of the skin that commonly presents as painful ulcers. PG during pregnancy is extremely rare. We report the case of a 28-year-old woman with a painful, rapidly progressive ulcerative lesion at an episiotomy site presenting 16 days following a vaginal delivery.

Role of stereospecific nature of germinants in spores germination.

The present study was undertaken with the objective to assess the effect of distinct stereoisomeric forms of nutrient germinants (selected sugars and amino acids) on the process of germination onset in dormant spores of MTCC 2949. In this respect, epimers of glucose and enantiomers of alanine were employed in current work. When supplemented with these stereoisomers, spores were found germinated only with d-glucose and d-mannose among epimers of glucose and only with l-alanine among enantiomers of alanine.
