Biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles using extract and their antibacterial efficacy against and phytopathogens.

In the current research, we produced green, cost-effective, eco-friendly silver nanoparticles using a single-step approach. Plants are considered highly desirable systems for nanoparticle synthesis because they possess a variety of secondary metabolites with significant reduction potential. In the current research, the dried leaf extract of was utilized as a capping and reducing agent for the fabrication of silver nanoparticles, to prepare reliable biogenic silver nanoparticles and subsequently to investigate their potential against some common phytopathogens.

Park availability and major depression in individuals with chronic conditions: Is there an association in urban India?

Green space exposure has been positively correlated with better mental-health indicators in several high income countries, but has not been examined in low- and middle-income countries undergoing rapid urbanization. Building on a study of mental health in adults with a pre-existing chronic condition, we examined the association between park availability and major depression among 1208 adults surveyed in Delhi, India. Major depression was measured using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview.

Association between full service and fast food restaurant density, dietary intake and overweight/obesity among adults in Delhi, India.

Background: The food environment has been implicated as an underlying contributor to the global obesity epidemic. However, few studies have evaluated the relationship between the food environment, dietary intake, and overweight/obesity in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The aim of this study was to assess the association of full service and fast food restaurant density with dietary intake and overweight/obesity in Delhi, India.

Chemotherapeutic/chemopreventive role of retinoids in chemically induced skin carcinogenesis in albino mice.

Objective: To determine the chemotherapeutic effect of retinoids on albino mouse skin.

Methods: Eighty albino mice were selected for this study and were divided into four groups (A-D, 20 mice in each group). 7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) and tetradecanoylphorbal-13-acetate (TPA) were given for 15 weeks to produce tumors.
