Exosomes and tumor virus interlink: A complex side of cancer.

Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) based cancer research reveals several complicated sides of cancer. EVs are classified as several subpopulations such as microvesicles, apoptotic bodies, and exosomes. In cancer, exosomes play a significant role as a cellular messenger in tumor development and progression.

Neuro-Cardio-Autonomic Modulations in Children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Background And Objective: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a degenerative X-linked muscle disease. Death frequently results from complications in cardiopulmonary systems. Preclinical/early diagnosis of cardiac autonomic abnormalities may aid initiate cardioprotective therapy and enhance prognosis.

An EEG Database and Its Initial Benchmark Emotion Classification Performance.

Human emotion recognition has been a major field of research in the last decades owing to its noteworthy academic and industrial applications. However, most of the state-of-the-art methods identified emotions after analyzing facial images. Emotion recognition using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals has got less attention.

Emergency preparedness and response (EP&R) by pharmacy professionals in India: Lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic and the way forward.

The COVID-19 pandemic highlights the importance of Emergency Preparedness & Response (EP&R) education, training, capacity building and infrastructure development in India. During the pandemic, pharmacy professionals (PPs) in India have continued to provide medications, supplies and services. India's public-private healthcare system is complex and of variable quality.

Effect of Yoga as an Add-on Therapy in the Modulation of Heart Rate Variability in Children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Background: Duchene muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive muscular disorder. Cardiac disorder is the second-most common cause of death in children with DMD, with 10%-20% of them dying of cardiac failure. Heart rate variability (HRV) is shown to be a predictor of cardio-autonomic function.

Effect of Menopause on Saliva and Dental Health.

Aims And Objectives: This research is intended to observe the influence of menopause on saliva and dental health. Salivary flow rate, pH of stimulated whole saliva, oral hygiene status, dental caries status, and periodontal status were evaluated in frequently menstruating and postmenopausal womankind.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on forty healthy postmenopausal women (case group) and forty regularly menstruating healthy women (control group), who were selected from the Outpatient Department of Dr.

Utility of Bacillary Index in Slit Skin Smears in Correlation with Clinical and Histopathological Alterations in Hansen's Disease: An Attempt to Revive a Simple Useful Procedure.

Leprosy, a relatively common chronic contagious disease having diverse modes of clinical presentation, can mimic a variety of unrelated diseases. For proper and adequate treatment, the diagnosis must be made accurately with subtyping which should be done with the help of bacillary index, histopathological features, and clinical correlation. This is extremely important in patient care as paucibacillary and multibacillary types have different modes of treatment.

Autonomic function in reflex and non-reflex epilepsy--an exploratory study.

Purpose: Seizures are known to affect diverse areas of the Central Autonomic Network (CAN) resulting in varied autonomic symptoms. The objectives of the study were to characterize neuro-cardiac autonomic regulation in hot water epilepsy (HWE) with or without spontaneous seizure, and to analyze the effect of Carbamazepine (CBZ).

Methods: Seventy patients of HWE [42 drug-naïve 'HWE only' and 28 'HWE with spontaneous complex partial seizure (CPS),' on CBZ] and 40 spontaneous CPS on CBZ were recruited after informed consent.

Assessment of cardiac autonomic function in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy using short term heart rate variability measures.

Background: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a hereditary neuromuscular disorder frequently associated with progressive cardiac dysfunction, and is one of the common causes of death in these children. Early diagnostic markers of cardiac involvement might help in timely intervention. In this study we compared the short term HRV measures of DMD children with that of healthy subjects.

Influence of age and gender on autonomic regulation of heart.

Heart rate variability (HRV) is a non-invasive method to measure cardiac autonomic function. Impairments in HRV have been proposed as independent risk factor for increased cardiac mortality and morbidity. Cardio protective phenomenon in females has been hypothesized to be due to differential autonomic tone.

Cardiac autonomic dysfunction in drug naïve hot water epilepsy.

Purpose: This study aimed to characterize the role of autonomic nervous system dysfunction in hot water epilepsy (HWE). Heart rate variability (HRV) has been established as a good index of cardio-autonomic regulation.

Methodology: Forty-five patients with HWE (age: 24.

Hot water epilepsy clinical profile and treatment--a prospective study.

Purpose: This study characterized the demographic, clinical, EEG and imaging profile, and therapeutic outcome among patients with hot water epilepsy (HWE).

Methodology: This prospective study included 70 patients with HWE (M:F=55:15; age: 25.3±8.
