A review of the role of graphene-based nanomaterials in tackling challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a pandemic due to the emergence of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) which had resulted by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). At present, the emergence of many new variants and mutants were found to be more harmful compared to the previous strains. As a result, research scientists around the world had devoted significant efforts to understand the mechanism, causes and transmission due to COVID-19 along with the treatment to cure these diseases.

A Randomized Control Study to Assess the Efficacy of Intrathecal Morphine in Patients on Patient-Controlled Analgesia Pump With Morphine for Postoperative Pain Relief After Elective Laparotomy.

Introduction Laparotomy is associated with significant prolonged postoperative pain, which can cause an adverse neuroendocrine stress response. Intrathecal morphine (ITM) retains an important place in pain management after major laparotomy since it is easier to administer and has a relatively lesser possibility of failure and technical difficulty. Aim The study aims to compare the effect of the administration of ITM with intravenous (IV) morphine administered by a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump on postoperative analgesia after elective laparotomy.

Review of clinical applications and challenges with surface-guided radiation therapy.

Aim: To evaluate the use of this new technique, surface-guided radiotherapy (SGRT), for patient setup and motion management in various cancers.

Materials And Methods: Data was collected from 533 patients, who received treatment in our hospital for various malignancies using SGRT from October 2019 to April 2021. We studied patient setup, interfraction position, and patient position during the breath-hold (BH) technique.

Introduction: " is a work-associated condition which is frequently observed in medical professionals, especially students. Extra-curricular activities (ECAs) are one of the coping techniques that students employ to deal with stress and exhaustion.

Goal: The study's goal is to evaluate dental students' levels of burnout and how it correlates with their participation in ECAs.

Comparison of the IHC Markers CD138 and CD43 in Oral Leukoplakia: An Original Research.

Background: In the clinical practice, one of the most common suspicious lesions that may be potentially malignant is oral leukoplakia. Globally, the rate at which it turns malignant varies. This study examines the levels of markers CD138 and 43 in oral leukoplakia.

Assessment of haemodynamic response to tracheal intubation and prone positioning following clonidine and enalaprilat in lumbar spine surgeries: A double blind randomised controlled trial.

Background And Aim: This study evaluates the effectiveness of long-acting antihypertensive drugs (clonidine and enalaprilat) in blunting the intubation response. Also, the study seeks to determine how effectively clonidine and enalaprilat can maintain stable haemodynamics during a change in position.

Methods: After ethical committee approval and trial registration, a double-blinded, randomised controlled trial was conducted with 71 consenting patients scheduled for elective spine surgery in a prone position under general anaesthesia.

Melatonin Enhances the Photosynthesis and Antioxidant Enzyme Activities of Mung Bean under Drought and High-Temperature Stress Conditions.

Mung bean, a legume, is sensitive to abiotic stresses at different growth stages, and its yield potential is affected by drought and high-temperature stress at the sensitive stage. Melatonin is a multifunctional hormone that plays a vital role in plant stress defense mechanisms. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of melatonin under individual and combined drought and high-temperature stress in mung bean.

A Comparison Between the Effects of Single-Dose Oral Gabapentin and Oral Clonidine on Hemodynamic Parameters in Laparoscopic Surgeries: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background and objective Laparoscopic surgeries can result in exaggerated sympathetic responses due to pneumoperitoneum. Many drugs including clonidine and gabapentin have been evaluated to attenuate the hemodynamic response to abdominal insufflation. In light of this, this study was conducted to compare the effects of preoperative administration of oral gabapentin with those of clonidine on intraoperative hemodynamic parameters in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries.

Coagulation conundrum in obstetric anesthesia with COVID-19.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is an unprecedented public health calamity that has caused an immense setback to maternal health services in developing countries. In addition to morbidity and mortality caused by COVID-19 disease in parturient directly, the indirect adverse impact of lockdown imposed during pandemic causing loss of follow-up of patients with coexisting illness is significant. There are no standard protocols to manage COVID-19 patients with comorbid medical illness, who are not optimized during antenatal visits.

Functional characterisation of bioactive peptide derived from terrestrial snail Cryptozona bistrialis and its wound-healing property in normal and diabetic-induced Wistar albino rats.

A peptide might be an exciting biomaterial or template for the development of novel wound-healing agents. In this report, it was isolated from the terrestrial snail Cryptozona bistrialis by enzymatic digestion and was evaluated for its in vitro wound-healing activity in NIH/3T3 mouse fibroblasts cell line and in vivo wound-healing activity in normal and diabetic-induced Wistar albino rats. The C.

Adaptive radiotherapy in a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma of bronchus and its favourable impact on treatment outcome: A case report.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a very rare malignancy commonly originating from the salivary glands of the head and neck. It is again very scantily seen in sites like the bronchus. Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment but many a times the tumour site and size preclude a favourable outcome of surgery and the patient is advised for other forms of local treatment like Radiotherapy.

Combining in silico and in vitro approaches to evaluate the acetylcholinesterase inhibitory profile of some commercially available flavonoids in the management of Alzheimer's disease.

The current objective of the study is to identify inhibitory affinity potential of the certain commercially available flavonoids, against crystal structure of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme using in silico and in vitro studies. The inhibitory profiles of the compounds have been compared with standard AChE inhibitor donepezil. In the docking studies, conformational site analysis and docking parameters like binding energy, inhibition constant and intermolecular energy were determined using AutoDock 4.

Maxillary tumour as first sign of endocrine abnormality: A report of a rare case.

Brown tumour is a non-neoplastic giant cell lesion resulting as a complication of hyperparathyroidism (HPT). HPT usually results from increased secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH). We present a rare case of brown tumour of anterior maxilla presenting as a first sign of previously undiagnosed secondary HPT, to emphasise that giant cell lesions of jaw bones should routinely be screened for PTH levels to rule out underlying endocrine abnormalities and oral manifestation is the earliest manifestation of many systemic diseases and careful evaluation of oral cavity by physician gives information to underlying systemic pathology.

Delayed diagnosis of traumatic diaphragmatic rupture with herniation of the liver: a case report.

Diaphragmatic rupture is a potentially life-threatening clinical situation. It occurs as a result of high-velocity blunt or penetrating injury to the abdomen and thorax. Acute traumatic rupture of the diaphragm may go undetected, and there is often a delay between the injury and diagnosis.

In vitro (α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibition) and in vivo antidiabetic property of phytic acid (IP6) in streptozotocin- nicotinamide-induced type 2 diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) in rats.

Phytic acid, inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) a natural plant constituent and antioxidant exhibits protective action in carcinogenesis, Alzheimer's, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes and inflammations when taken in diet.

Comparison of bougie-guided insertion of Proseal laryngeal mask airway with digital technique in adults.

The Proseal laryngeal mask airway (PLMA, Laryngeal Mask Company, UK) was designed to improve ventilatory characteristics and offer protection against regurgitation and gastric insufflation. The PLMA is a modified laryngeal mask airway with large ventral cuff, dorsal cuff and a drain tube. These modifications improve seal around glottis and enable better ventilatory characteristics.
