The Effect of Hypertonic Saline Nebulization on Arterial Blood Gas Parameters Among Patients on a Mechanical Ventilator.

Introduction Care of the airway is an essential part of the management of patients receiving mechanical ventilation. If the airway is not properly managed, an endotracheal airway can result in retained secretions, airway obstructions, and infections. These complications may prolong mechanical ventilation duration and length of hospital stay and may increase the cost of affordability.

Chicken swarm optimization modelling for cognitive radio networks using deep belief network-enabled spectrum sensing technique.

Cognitive radio networks (CRN) enable wireless devices to sense the radio spectrum, determine the frequency state channels, and reconfigure the communication variables to satisfy Quality of Service (QoS) needs by reducing energy utilization. In CRN, spectrum sensing is an essential process that is highly challenging and can be addressed by several traditional techniques, such as energy detection, match filtering, etc. For now, the current models' performance is impacted by the comparatively low Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of recognized signals and the insignificant quantity of traditional signal samples.

Genetic diversity and population structure in banana (Musa spp.) breeding germplasm.

Bananas (Musa spp.) are one of the most highly consumed fruits globally, grown in the tropical and sub-tropical regions. We evaluated 856 Musa accessions from the breeding programs of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture of Nigeria, Tanzania, and Uganda; the National Agricultural Research Organization of Uganda; the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa); and the National Research Centre for Banana of India.

Isolation, purification and structural elucidation of Mellein from endophytic fungus Lasiodiplodia theobromae strain (SJF-1) and its broad-spectrum antimicrobial and pharmacological properties.

In an on-going investigation of bioactive metabolites producing potential endophytic fungi, the strain Lasiodiplodia theobromae (SJF-1) was isolated from a medicinal plant Syzygium cumini. The cultural, morphological and molecular identification was done with the SJF-1 strain. The obtained gene sequence was deposited in NCBI with accession number MG 938644.

Development of fusarium wilt resistant mutants of Musa spp. cv.Rasthali (AAB, Silk subgroup) and comparative proteomic analysis along with its wild type.

Induced mutagenesis using embryogenic cell suspension (ECS) explants with toxin based screening is an effective tool to create non-chimeral Fusarium wilt resistant mutants in banana. Global proteomics unravel the molecular mechanism behind resistance. Race 1 of Fusarium wilt is a serious threat to Musa spp.
