Ayurvedic management through telemedicine of covid hypoxia non-dependent of oxygen support in a patient with chest CT score of 18/25- A case report.

This paper is the first known documentation of a covid patient in ARDS and MODS who recovered from home through Ayurveda telemedicine and when not completely dependent on oxygen. The covid patient suffered from fever, body ache, breathlessness, fatigue, and was admitted to the hospital when his SpO2 was at 56, his CT scores at 18/25, Corads 6 and his NL ratio was at 9. The patient was shifted to another hospital as he refused treatment in the first hospital; in the second hospital also he refused treatment and got himself discharged against medical advice when his SpO2 was at 65, RR 40.

Aerosol-generating procedures, how best did anesthesiologists use available personal protective equipment during early COVID-19 pandemic in a tertiary care center of southern India? A prospective cross-sectional study.

Background And Aims: Anesthesiologists are involved in high-risk procedures for transmission of SARS-CoV-2 like aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs). The present study was conducted to assess the compliance toward the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and proposed modifications in anesthesia techniques to prevent dissemination of the virus among healthcare workers.

Material And Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and included all elective surgeries involving AGPs inside operation theatres and remote areas.

Patterns of MiB-1 staining of brain tumors: microwave-antigen retrieval as a tool in diagnostic pathology.

MiB-1 antibody staining can be carried out on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue only if microwave antigen retrieval is performed. This method was used to identify proliferating cells in archival paraffin sections of 137 cases of human brain tumors. The tumors concerned were astrocytomas (57), glioblastomas (16), oligodendrogliomas (11), mixed gliomas (8), ependymomas (9), subependymoma (2), medulloblastomas (4) and meningiomas (30).

Simple repetitive sequences in the genome: structure and functional significance.

The current explosion of DNA sequence information has generated increasing evidence for the claim that noncoding repetitive DNA sequences present within and around different genes could play an important role in genetic control processes, although the precise role and mechanism by which these sequences function are poorly understood. Several of the simple repetitive sequences which occur in a large number of loci throughout the human and other eukaryotic genomes satisfy the sequence criteria for forming non-B DNA structures in vitro. We have summarized some of the features of three different types of simple repeats that highlight the importance of repetitive DNA in the control of gene expression and chromatin organization.

Zintrons in rat alpha-lactalbumin gene.

The eukaryotic genome is characterised by the occurrence of a large amount of repetitive DNA which exists within and around coding sequences. Random repeats of (TG)n sequences have been observed in several introns. In this paper we show that (TG)14 and (TG)24 sequences present in the third intron of rat alpha-lactalbumin gene adopt left-handed Z-helices under varying superhelical densities.
