A Clinical Study on Microbiological Profile in Tracheostomy Wounds.

Tracheostomy is a surgical procedure in an emergency setting to relieve the upper airway obstruction by creating an opening in the anterior part of trachea. It can also be done electively to wean off from a ventilator, during an elective surgery and clearance of pulmonary secretions. This study was a retrospective analysis of microbiological profile, antibiotic sensitivity & resistance pattern in patients with a tracheostomized wound.

Rare Case of Hemorrhagic Atypical Choroid Plexus Papilloma of Fourth Ventricle in Adult: A Diagnostic Dilemma.

Choroid plexus papillomas are highly vascular tumors, and such tumors causing subarachnoid hemorrhage have been reported in literature. Similarly, few articles have reported atypical fourth ventricular choroid plexus tumors in adults. However, such an atypical tumor presenting with grossly hemorrhagic transformation without any acute symptoms could not be found in the literature.

Arsenic efflux in Enterobacter cloacae RSN3 isolated from arsenic-rich soil.

In the present study, bacterial isolates were screened for arsenic resistance efficiency. Environmental isolates were isolated from arsenic-rich soil samples (i.e.

Gibberellins - a multifaceted hormone in plant growth regulatory network.

Plants tend to acclimatize to unfavourable environs by integrating growth and development to environmentally activated signals. Phytohormones strongly regulate convergent developmental and stress adaptive procedures and synchronize cellular reaction to the exogenous and endogenous conditions within the adaptive signaling networks. Gibberellins (GA), a group of tetracyclic diterpenoids, being vital regulators of plant growth, are accountable for regulating several aspects of growth and development of higher plants.
