Effect of Serum Vitamin-D in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Type 2 diabetes, formerly known as adult-onset diabetes, is a form of diabetes mellitus that is characterized by high blood sugar, insulin resistance and relative lack of insulin. This cross sectional study was carried out in the Department of Biochemistry, Mymensingh Medical College and in collaboration with the Department of Endocrinology, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh from July 2021 to June 2022. A total of 100 subjects were included in this study.

First seroprevalence survey of bovine anaplasmosis: an emerging tick-borne disease in commercial livestock and dairy farms in Bangladesh.

Bovine anaplasmosis is an infectious, tick-borne disease caused by species, which is accountable for huge economic loss in dairy industry. This study was aimed to determine the seroprevalence of bovine anaplasmosis on randomly selected 61 commercial dairy farms in 3 intensive regions of Bangladesh. A total of 1472 sera were analysed using VMRD Antibody Test Kit cELISA v2 for the presence of -specific antibodies.

Extraction of wood vinegar from bagasse and its application as bio-reducer to produce stable silver nanoparticles with enhanced antibacterial activity.

Global efforts have been made to address environmental and health concerns by promoting and adopting renewable natural resources. This study investigated the role of bagasse-based wood vinegar to synthesize and stabilize silver nanoparticles. We present a simple bottom-up approach to produce silver nanoparticles using the green reducing agent.

Genomic identification, characterization, and stress-induced expression profiling of glyoxalase and D-lactate dehydrogenase gene families in Capsicum annuum.

Background: Capsicum annuum, a significant agricultural and nutritional crop, faces production challenges due to its sensitivity to various abiotic stresses. Glyoxalase (GLY) and D-lactate dehydrogenase (D-LDH) enzymes play vital roles in mitigating these stresses by detoxifying the stress-induced cytotoxin, methylglyoxal (MG).

Methods: A genome-wide study was conducted to identify and characterize glyoxalase I (GLYI), glyoxalase II (GLYII), unique glyoxalase III or DJ-1 (GLYIII), and D-LDH gene candidates in Capsicum annuum.

Preparation of VO-Ink for the Fabrication of VO Thin Films by the Spin Coating Method.

This article reports the preparation of VO ink via a novel chemical route. The prepared VO ink has been spin coated for the synthesis of VO thin films on glass substrates. The synthesized VO thin films were annealed at 300-400 °C in air and characterized by different techniques.
