Evaluating biomechanical risks in manual material handling: an ergonomic intervention approach.

Manual waste handling, common in many underdeveloped regions, often exposes workers to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) during material tasks. A study involving 92 workers highlighted the risks associated with the waste scraping and picking tasks, focusing on lower back, knee and neck joints. The study aimed to create improved equipment through iterative design.

A multi model deep net with an explainable AI based framework for diabetic retinopathy segmentation and classification.

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a serious condition affecting diabetes people caused by hemorrhage in the light-sensitive retinal area. DR sufferers should receive urgent therapy to avoid vision loss. The intelligent medical diagnosis system for DR is evolving as a result of the inclusion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology.

Genome editing research initiatives and regulatory landscape of genome edited crops in India.

Food and nutritional security are the top priorities in Indian agriculture. Exponential population growth coupled with climate change effects has become a serious challenge for sustainable agriculture. Genome editing has revolutionized the agricultural sector because of its ability to create precise, stable and predictable modifications in the genome and therefore, offers great opportunities for crop improvement in India.

Unveiling the effect of chemical degradation on cyclic lipoglycopeptide Oritavancin using Orbitrap mass spectrometry.

Oritavancin is the second-generation approved semisynthetic cyclic lipoglycopeptide by the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) for acute bacterial skin and skin-structure infections which serves as a last resort of treatment. Unlike other lipoglycopeptides, the stability behavior of Oritavancin was least explored, which is a prerequisite. The current study endeavors to elucidate the oxidative, hydrolytic, thermal and photolytic stability behavior of Oritavancin by exposing the drug to respective stress conditions.

Effects of pyrimidine on cellular and neuronal arrangement, oxidative stress and energy content in the brain of the freshwater catfish, Heteropneustes fossilis.

Fish are facing compromised health with mass mortality due to the decreased water quality of aquatic bodies. The brain, a complex body organ that controls whole body physiology, is influenced first by any kind of water fluctuations, and by keeping it relaxed and nourished, fish health can be improved. Among freshwater fish, catfish Heteropneustes fossilis has importance not only as a rich nutrient source but also due to medicinal significance.
