Diabetic striatopathy in an adult with ketotic hyperglycaemia.

Diabetic striatopathy (DS) is a rare and life-threatening mani- festation of diabetes. The disease commonly affects individuals of Asian descent, women and the elderly. DS is characterized by dyskinesias with basal ganglia hyperintensities on imaging.

Stroke incidence, mortality, subtypes in rural and urban populations in five geographic areas of India (2018-2019): results from the National Stroke Registry Programme.

Background: Increasing stroke burden in India demands a long-term stroke surveillance framework. Earlier studies in India were urban-based, short term and provided limited data on stroke incidence and its outcomes. This gap is addressed by the establishment of five population-based stroke registries (PBSRs) of the National Stroke Registry Programme, India.

Structural and functional characterization of mycobacterial PhoH2 and identification of potential inhibitor of its enzymatic activity.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is composed of a cumbersome signaling and protein network which partakes in bacterial survival and augments its pathogenesis. Mycobacterial PhoH2 (Mt-PhoH2) is a signaling element and a predictive phosphate starvation protein that works in an ATP-dependent manner. Here, we elaborated the characterization of Mt-PhoH2 through biophysical, biochemical, and computational methods.

Decoding the structural integrity and multifunctional role of Era protein in the survival of HRv.

Era, a widely known GTP binding protein found in many organisms including prokaryotes and eukaryotes and plays a significant role in many fundamental cellular processes like cell growth, differentiation and signaling. In (Mtb) HRv, Era protein had been proved as a GTPase protein but its structural and functional insights are still lacking. Through comparative analysis, structural modeling, docking and using various bioinformatic tools, a detailed investigation of Era was carried out to deduce the structure, function and residues involved in the activity of the protein.
