The present study aimed to identify the bioactive constituents in the chloroform extract of H. spicatum rhizomes (HS-RCLE), further evaluated for its in-vitro pesticidal activities validating via molecular docking techniques. GC/MS analysis of HS-RCLE identified 14 compounds contributing 84.

First report of Fusarium incarnatum-equiseti species complex as the causal agent of pod rot of black gram (Vigna mungo L.) in India.

Black gram (Vigna mungo L.) is important pulse crop and is the third-most cultivated pulse in India (Swaminathan et al. 2023).

Phytochemical Screening and Evaluation of Pesticidal Efficacy in the Oleoresins of Sims and Study.

Sims is an aromatic rhizomatous herb of family Zingiberaceae which is endemic to Peninsular India. This study first reports the phytochemical profile and pesticidal potential of oleoresins obtained from the aerial and rhizome parts of Sims. The oleoresins were prepared by the cold percolation method and were analyzed by a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method.

Anharmonic phonon interactions and the Kondo effect in a FeSe/SbTe/FeSe heterostructure: a proximity effect between ferromagnetic chalcogenide and di-chalcogenide.

In this report, we have introduced magnetic ordering into the nontrivial system of conventional topological insulators (TIs) by creating magnetic interfaces. In this context, antimony di-chalcogenide SbTe sandwiched between two thin layers of FeSe was prepared using the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. The prepared heterostructure demonstrated good crystallinity along with homogeneous morphology displaying pyramid-shaped characteristic triangular islands.

Rapid and sensitive detection of potato cyst nematode by loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay.

Unlabelled: Cyst nematodes of the species and are devastating parasites of the potato crop. Early detection of cyst nematodes in the field is critical for adopting an appropriate management strategy. A specific and sensitive loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay using four oligonucleotide primers has been developed to amplify the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) of ribosomal DNA of potato cyst nematode The PCN-LAMP reaction could be completed within 75 min at 68 °C followed by termination at 85 °C for 7 min.

Milrinone Dosing and a Culture of Caution in Clinical Practice.

Milrinone is an invaluable agent in the treatment of end-stage heart failure patients who are refractory to optimal medical therapy. In addition to its use in acute decompensated heart failure, milrinone can also be employed as a home infusion therapy or a bridge to cardiac transplant. Concerns about its adverse effects, such as an increased risk of arrhythmias and hypotension, often limit the doses of milrinone used in clinical practice.

Left Ventricular Mechanical Support with the Impella during Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.

Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides systemic arterial support without directly unloading the left heart, which causes an elevated left ventricular (LV) pressure. The aim of the present study was to investigate the adjunctive application of the Impella device for LV unloading in patients during ECMO. This retrospective cohort study included patients who received Impella support in addition to venoarterial ECMO between April 2012 and December 2015.

Asymptomatic Emphysematous Pyelonephritis - Positron Emission Tomography Computerized Tomography Aided Diagnostic and Therapeutic Elucidation.

The authors report an interesting coincidental unearthing by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) of a potentially serious medical condition of emphysematous pyelonephritis in a case of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The management by conservative ureteric stenting and antibiotics was done with gratifying clinical outcome.

Congenital Hypothyroidism: Facts, Facets & Therapy.

Background: Thyroid hormone (T3) is essential for normal development of children enabling brain development and somatic growth. However, certain individuals are genetically predisposed with insufficient or no thyroid hormones. Such a condition is termed congenital hypothyroidism (CH).

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Massive Pulmonary Embolism.

Background: Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) has been suggested for cardiopulmonary support in patients with massive pulmonary embolism (PE) refractory to other treatment or as bridging to embolectomy. The survival benefit from ECMO in patients with massive PE remains unclear.

Methods: Here, we describe 5 cases in which ECMO was used as cardiopulmonary support following massive near-fatal pulmonary embolism.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

Background Patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement can experience severe perioperative complications leading to hemodynamic instability and death. Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation can be used to provide cardiorespiratory support during this time. Methods From 2012 to 2015, of 247 patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement, 6 (2.

Evolution of Synonymous Codon Usage in the Mitogenomes of Certain Species of Bilaterian Lineage with Special Reference to Chaetognatha.

Chaetognatha is a minor phylum, comprising transparent marine invertebrates varying in size from 0.5 to 12 cm. The exact phylogenetic position of Chaetognatha in Metazoa has not been deciphered as some embryological characteristics place chaetognaths among deuterostomes and some morphological characteristics place these among protostomes.

Transseptal biopsy of a left atrial mass with 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiographic guidance.

A 31-year-old man presented with a large cardiac mass that originated from the basal posterior left atrial wall and occupied most of the dilated atrium. Minimally invasive studies yielded inconclusive results, but the patient was considered at high risk for an open cardiac biopsy due to the size of the mass. To establish a tissue diagnosis for definitive treatment, we performed a transseptal cardiac biopsy guided by 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography.

Determinants and outcomes of asystole during carotid artery stenting.

Purpose: To examine the predictors and outcomes of asystole in patients who undergo carotid artery stenting (CAS).

Methods: Forty-three patients (24 men; median age 69 years) with asystole were identified after reviewing the case records of 884 patients who underwent CAS at our institution between 1997 and 2009. The control group comprised 678 patients who underwent stenting in the carotid sinus area without asystole.

Determinants of right ventricular failure in patients admitted with acute left heart failure.

Pulmonary hypertension, which may lead to right ventricular (RV) failure, increases with left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction severity. The prevalence and determinants of RV failure were analyzed in 120 patients admitted with acute left heart (LH) failure. Patients were divided into RV failure (n=50) and non-RV failure (n=70) groups.
