A Bibliometric Analysis of the Trends and Impact of Neuromarketing Research: Peering Into the Consumer Brain.

Neuromarketing is the application of neuroscience and cognitive science to understand and influence consumer behavior and the different underlying decision-making processes. This neuromarketing bibliometric study uses Scopus for bibliographic data and Biblioshiny and Citespace for the overall analysis. Annual scientific production is considered to outline some general lines of critical trends in volume over time.

Copepod carcasses in the western Bay of Bengal and associated ecology.

Although a portion of all copepods in the natural environment are physiologically inactive or dead, there is little data on this aspect in Indian seas. Using the classical neutral red live staining technique, the dead percentage of copepods in the western Bay of Bengal (BoB) is determined for the first time in this study, which takes into account hydrography and zooplankton samples collected on April 2015 (Spring Intermonsoon [SIM]) from 6 inshore and 8 offshore locations in the western BoB. The offshore parts of the research area were infested with a persistent and extensive warm-core eddy/gyre during the sampling time, as demonstrated by satellite data of sea surface temperature, mean sea level anomaly, and surface currents.

"Relax City Homecare team; protocols are ready for you" - A Quality Improvement Project Conducted on Behalf of the City Homecare Unit Team at the Trivandrum Institute of Palliative Sciences.

Context: The city homecare unit (CHU) of the Trivandrum Institute of Palliative Sciences was dissatisfied with the quality of care provided to their patient population.

Aims: This study aims to improve the average satisfaction score of CHU during their daily homecare services.

Settings And Design: The improvement project for the CHU activities was conducted with a prospective plan-do-study-act design, with stepwise application of improvement tools.

Is There a Need to Increase Palatal Root Torque of Upper Incisors in Lingual Appliance? A Finite Element Analysis.

Objectives: To understand the effect of the biomechanical differences by assessing pre and post retraction torque, amount of retraction and arch width changes in both techniques.

Methodology: A three-dimensional geometric model of maxilla with all upper teeth except first premolar was generated based on computed tomography radiograph of a dry skull using the computer program Hypermesh. 13.

Genetic characterization of Toxoplasma gondii from autopsy proven cases of AIDS associated cerebral toxoplasmosis in South India.

Toxoplasma gondii (T.gondii) infection can be devastating in the immunodeficient causing high morbidity and mortality. Due to limited availability of both diagnostic facilities and Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART), toxoplasmosis continues to be a significant problem amongst Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) patients in India.

AFN-1252 is a potent inhibitor of enoyl-ACP reductase from Burkholderia pseudomallei--Crystal structure, mode of action, and biological activity.

Melioidosis is a tropical bacterial infection caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei (B. pseudomallei; Bpm), a Gram-negative bacterium. Current therapeutic options are largely limited to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and β-lactam drugs, and the treatment duration is about 4 months.

A regioselective multicomponent protocol for the synthesis of novel bioactive 4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one grafted monospiropyrrolidine and thiapyrrolizidine hybrids.

An expedient route toward the synthesis of 4-hydroxyquinolone grafted spiropyrrolidines or pyrrolizidines has been accomplished through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of various azomethine ylides derived from isatin or acenaphthalene and sarcosine with 4-hydroxyquinolone derivatives as dipolarophile. The regio and stereo chemical outcome of the cycloaddition reaction is ascertained by X-ray crystallographic studies and spectroscopic techniques of the cycloadducts. Furthermore, cytotoxicity evaluation of selected compounds showed significant inhibition of cell proliferation against cervical as well as colon cancer cell lines.

Upregulation of DR5 receptor by the diaminothiazole DAT1 [4-amino-5-benzoyl-2-(4-methoxy phenyl amino) thiazole] triggers an independent extrinsic pathway of apoptosis in colon cancer cells with compromised pro and antiapoptotic proteins.

Mitochondria mediated signalling is the more common way of apoptosis induction exhibited by many chemotherapeutic agents in cancer cells. Death receptor mediated signalling for apoptosis in many cells also requires further amplification from the mitochondrial pathway activation through tBid. Thus the potential of most chemotherapeutic agents in tumours with intrinsic apoptosis resistance due to changes in molecules involved in the mitochondrial pathway is limited.

Endoplasmic reticulum targeted Bcl2 confers long term cell survival through phosphorylation of heat shock protein 27.

Overexpression of anti-apoptotic Bcl2 family proteins is often seen in cancers rendering them insensitive to apoptosis inducing anticancer strategies. Anti-apoptotic Bcl2 family proteins are associated with different organelles like mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and exert their anti-apoptotic activity by inhibiting the release of Cyt.C from mitochondria irrespective of its localization.

Bax deficiency mediated drug resistance can be reversed by endoplasmic reticulum stress induced death signaling.

Tumors often acquire drug resistance due to functional loss of pro apoptotic gene Bax, a critical and essential component of cell death rendering them insensitive to most anti-tumor agents. Compounds that can induce Bax independent apoptotic cell death are expected to overcome such drug resistance. We have employed a live cell based screening platform to identify potential compounds that can induce programmed cell death in Bax deficiency.
