Despite the popularity of auto analyzers in urban areas of the country the incidence of asymptomatic hyperparathyroidism has not markedly increased and symptomatic diseases are regularly seen in all major institutions. The present single-institution analysis of proven hyperparathyroidism in the last 16 years was aimed at comparing the demographic, clinical, and pathological characteristics of symptomatic and asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism and comparing those with the asymptomatic diseases seen in developed countries. A retrospective chart review of 332 patients was done and 29 (8.

In the present work, we have explored the importance of the imidazole ring and its importance in drug discovery, citing the key approvals in the present decade (2013-2024). The pharmacological attribution for the approved drugs revealed that out of 20 approved drugs, 45% of the approvals were made as anti-infectives, followed by approvals under the category of genetic and metabolic disorders, sexual endocrine disorders, anticancer, and to treat blood pressure, gastrointestinal disorders, and neurological conditions. The excretion pattern of these drugs revealed that the drugs are majorly excreted via the fecal route.

In the present research, we developed pyrimidine-based hybridized molecules with either imidazole or triazole to find effective anticancer drugs. The reaction was accomplished using a multicomponent reaction pathway. The synthetics were explored for their utility as an anticancer agent via human topoisomerase-II and tubulin inhibition.

There is an emerging interest in incorporating proteomic data for environmental health risk assessments. Meanwhile, the production and use of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) with attractive physicochemical properties are expanding with the potential for exposure, thus necessitating toxicity information on these materials for health risk analysis, where proteomic data can be informative. Here, cells (A549 human lung epithelial and J774A.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a functionally diverse protein family and are targets for a broad spectrum of pharmaceuticals. Technological progress in X-ray crystallography and cryogenic electron microscopy has enabled extensive, high-resolution structural characterisation of GPCRs in different conformational states. However, as highly dynamic events underlie GPCR signalling, a complete understanding of GPCR functionality requires insights into their conformational dynamics.
