Synthesis of Silver Nano Particles Using Myricetin and the In-Vitro Assessment of Anti-Colorectal Cancer Activity: In-Silico Integration.

The creation of novel anticancer treatments for a variety of human illnesses, including different malignancies and dangerous microbes, also potentially depends on nanoparticles including silver. Recently, it has been successful to biologically synthesize metal nanoparticles using plant extracts. The natural flavonoid 3,3', 4', 5,5', and 7 hexahydroxyflavon (myricetin) has anticancer properties.

Effect of eccentric exercise on markers of muscle damage in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

: Eccentric exercise may be considered as an attractive alternative to conventional exercise in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, due to muscle damage associated with eccentric exercise, there has been reluctance in using this exercise form in PR.: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of eccentric exercise on markers of muscle damage in patients with COPD.

Diagnostic performance of resting and post-exercise heart rate variability for detecting cardiac autonomic neuropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background: Post-exercise recovery phase is associated with clustering of various cardiovascular events and, therefore, monitoring of cardiac autonomic control via heart rate variability (HRV) during this phase may allow identification of autonomic alterations that are not evident under resting conditions in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.

Purpose: To investigate and compare the diagnostic performance of resting and post-exercise HRV for detecting cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in T2DM patients.

Methods: Forty-two T2DM patients were categorized as CAN-positive and CAN-negative based on standard cardiovascular autonomic reflex tests (CARTs).

Chikungunya virus: recent advances in epidemiology, host pathogen interaction and vaccine strategies.

The Chikungunya virus is a re-emerging alphavirus that belongs to the family Togaviridae. The symptoms include fever, rashes, nausea and joint pain that may last for months. The laboratory diagnosis of the infection is based on the serologic assays, virus isolation and molecular methods.

Molecular characterization of dengue and chikungunya virus strains circulating in New Delhi, India.

Dengue and chikungunya are acute viral infections with overlapping clinical symptoms. Both diseases are transmitted by common mosquito vectors resulting in their co-circulation in a region. Molecular and serological tests specific for both dengue and chikungunya infections were performed on 87 acute phase blood samples collected from patients with suspected dengue/chikungunya infections in Delhi from September to December, 2011.
