Ayurveda in the integrative management of bovine secondary recumbency-a case report.

Downer cow syndrome, or secondary recumbency, is a condition primarily affecting dairy cows, where the animal is unable to rise and stand, due to unknown cause. It is usually associated with poor prognosis. Terminal downers are euthanized in most countries.

Comparison of Propofol-Based Total Intravenous Anesthesia versus Volatile Anesthesia with Sevoflurane for Postoperative Delirium in Adult Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Single-Blinded Study.

Objectives: To compare the incidence of delirium and early (at 1 week) postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) between propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and volatile anesthesia with sevoflurane in adult patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).

Design: This was a prospective randomized single-blinded study.

Setting: The study was conducted at a single institution, the Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, a tertiary care institution and university-level teaching hospital.

Technical Note: A simple FTA® based method for the direct STR amplification of human foetal tissues.

Short tandem repeats (STRs) or microsatellites are short, tandemly repeated DNA sequences that involve a repetitive unit of 1-6 bp. DNA isolation and purification from a large number and often compromised samples gives problems to forensic labs for STR typing. Many of the conventional methods used in the isolation and purification of DNA from forensic samples are time consuming, expensive, hazardous for health and are often associated with greater risks of cross contamination.

Exploiting -Centered Umpolung Reactivity of α-Iminomalonates for the Synthesis of -Sulfenylimines and Sulfonamides.

An efficient and interesting -centered umpolung method has been disclosed to construct beneficial S-N bonds, furnishing -sulfenylimines, which can readily be converted into the corresponding sulfonamide derivatives in a one-pot sequential operation. -Sulfenylimines are potent intermediates in organic synthesis, whereas sulfonamides are of major molecular interest due to their rich biological activities and wide applicability in medicinal chemistry. Owing to the simple reaction conditions and setup, this protocol displays a broad and versatile substrate scope, resulting in excellent functional group tolerability toward the synthesis of both -sulfenylimines and sulfonamides.
