A comprehensive review of the mechanism, changes, and effect of deep fat frying on the characteristics of restructured foods.

Restructured foods are a blend of various ingredients that are dried or fried to obtain a ready-to-eat product. Several frying techniques have been employed viz., deep fat, microwave, vacuum, air, and spray frying.

Performance evaluation of pattern recognition networks using electromyography signal and time-domain features for the classification of hand gestures.

The problem of classifying individual finger movements of one hand is focused in this article. The input electromyography signal is processed and eight time-domain features are extracted for classifying hand gestures. The classified finger movements are thumb, middle, index, little, ring, hand close, thumb index, thumb ring, thumb little and thumb middle and the hand grasps are palmar class, spherical class, hook class, cylindrical class, tip class and lateral class.

Myrtenol Attenuates MRSA Biofilm and Virulence by Suppressing Expression Dynamism.

Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) is a deleterious human pathogen responsible for severe morbidity and mortality worldwide. The pathogen has attained high priority in the World Health Organization (WHO) - Multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens list. Emerging MDR strains of are clinically challenging due to failure in conventional antibiotic therapy.

Improved medical image fusion based on cascaded PCA and shift invariant wavelet transforms.

Purpose: In the medical field, radiologists need more informative and high-quality medical images to diagnose diseases. Image fusion plays a vital role in the field of biomedical image analysis. It aims to integrate the complementary information from multimodal images, producing a new composite image which is expected to be more informative for visual perception than any of the individual input images.

Evaluation of antinociceptive activity of aqueous extract of bark of psidium guajava in albino rats and albino mice.

Background: Psidium guajava is commonly known as guava. Psidium guajava is a medium sized tree belonging to the family Myrtaceae found throughout the tropics. All the parts of the plant, the leaves, followed by the fruits, bark and the roots are used in traditional medicine.

Availability of essential medicines: A primary health care perspective.

The present study was undertaken to assess the availability of the essential medicines to the people of Kunijarla, Khammam district, AP. This was done in two steps: 1) Comparison of PHC-EML (primary health care essential medicines list) with AP-EML (Andhra Pradesh essential medicines list) and NEML (National essential medicines list); and 2) Assessment of availability of the listed medicines in adequate quantity to meet the needs of people of kunijarla. Results showed that the PHC-EML is on par with AP-EML and NEML.

Nitrosomethylurea induced streptomycin resistance in Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.

High frequency of streptomycin resistant variants of Lycopersicon esculentum were isolated on selective shoot regeneration medium supplemented with IAA (0.5 mg/L), zeatin (1.5 mg/L) and streptomycin sulphate (500 mg/L).

Direct somatic embryogenesis and transformation in Cicer arietinum L.

Somatic embryos were induced directly from immature cotyledons of the genotype of chickpea ICC 4918 (annigiri) on B5 medium supplemented with 2,4,5-T or 2,4-D in combination with BA or KN. Successful transformation was achieved via somatic embryogenesis using Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404, carrying a binary plasmid vector system containing neomycin phosphotransferase (NPT II) gene as the selectable marker and beta-glucuronidase (GUS) as a reporter gene. Histochemical staining for GUS expression was observed as primary evidence for transformation.
