Evaluation of Sagittal Curving Osteotomy vs Conventional Advancement Genioplasty in Retrogenia Patients: a Randomized Control Trial.

Background And Objectives: With increasing aesthetic awareness, in addition to the forehead, nose, and cheekbone prominence, the chin nowadays is seen as one of the most important parts of the facial skeleton. Position of the chin has a strong influence on the assessment of the facial harmony; its different types and forms dominate the appearance. Furthermore, the expression of the chin is equated with character traits, and thus, it is an important component of the profile forms.

A gelatinized lipopeptide diet effectively modulates immune response, disease resistance and gut microbiome in Penaeus vannamei challenged with Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

Penaeus vannamei is one of the most economically vital shrimp globally, but infectious diseases have hampered its proper production and supply. As antibiotics pose a huge threat to the environment and humankind, it is essential to seek an alternative strategy to overcome infection and ensure proper culture and production. The present study investigates the effect of an anti-infective biosurfactant derivative lipopeptide MSA31 produced by a marine bacterium on the growth performance, disease resistance, and the gut microbiome of P.

Diversity of a bacterial community associated with Cliona lobata Hancock and Gelliodes pumila (Lendenfeld, 1887) sponges on the South-East coast of India.

Marine sponges are sources of various bioactive metabolites, including several anticancer drugs, produced mainly by sponge-associated microbes. Palk Bay, on the south-east coast of India, is an understudied, highly disturbed reef environment exposed to various anthropogenic and climatic stresses. In recent years, Palk Bay suffered from pollution due to the dumping of untreated domestic sewage, effluents from coastal aquaculture, tourism, salt pans, cultivation of exotic seaweeds, and geogenic heavy-metal pollution, especially arsenic, mercury, cadmium, and lead.

Production of toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) associated with Staphylococcus aureus from a pyogenic skin infection.

Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1 (TSST-1) producing Staphylococcus aureus associated with TSS was isolated from an abscess on buttock, from a two-year-old male child suffering from diarrhoea, high fever and shock. The isolate was subclassified into S. aureus var.

Epidemiological patterns and incidence of bio-, sero- and phage types of Vibrio cholerae in Hyderabad, India, during 1971-1984.

During 1971-1984 out of 44,762 gastroenteritis cases bacteriologically examined, 4240 (9.5%) Vibrio cholerae were isolated in Hyderabad, India. Out of them 1329 (31.
