In vitro and In silico investigation deciphering novel antifungal activity of endophyte Bacillus velezensis CBMB205 against Fusarium oxysporum.

Endophytes from medicinal plants are potential biocontrol agents against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), which is the causative fungus of banana wilt disease.

Synergistic design of CuO/CoFe₂O₄/MWCNTs ternary nanocomposite for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline under visible light.

This study involves a novel CuO/CoFe₂O₄/MWCNTs (CCT) nanocomposite, developed by integrating cobalt ferrite (CoFe₂O₄) and copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), for the degradation of tetracycline (TC) under visible light. The photocatalyst was extensively characterized using XRD, HR-SEM, EDX, HR-TEM, UV-Vis, BET, and PL analysis. The synthesized CoFe₂O₄ and CuO nanoparticles exhibited crystallite sizes of 46.

"Pregnancy in a non-communicating rudimentary uterine horn managed with laparoscopy in the first trimester".

A 23-year-old woman, conceived by ovulation induction presented at 10 weeks amenorrhea with abdominal pain and a positive urinary Beta HCG. 2D ultrasound suggested a right-sided ectopic pregnancy. On 3D ultrasound imaging, an unicornuate uterus with a right rudimentary horn pregnancy of size 6 cm was diagnosed [Figure 1].

Molecular Characterization of Dermatophytes Isolated in a Tertiary Care Hospital in the North Eastern Part of India.

Introduction Dermatophytes are the most common cause of superficial fungal infection. They are mostly diagnosed using phenotypic methods, but recently the molecular methods seem to be gaining ground. The objective of the present study was to compare the phenotypic and genotypic methods of identification of dermatophytes and understand the feasibility of using molecular methods for routine diagnosis of dermatophytosis.

Exploration of the Reasons for Poor Adherence Among Metabolic Syndrome Patients Attending a Tertiary Care Hospital in Tamil Nadu, India: A Mixed Method Study.

Background A major challenge in the treatment of MetS is the prevalence of low rates of adherence to the treatment regimen for individual components by the affected persons. This study aimed to estimate the medication adherence level among those with metabolic syndrome, determine the factors significantly associated with low adherence to medication, and explore the reasons for poor adherence to medication Materials and methods This sequential explanatory type of mixed method study was conducted among the metabolic syndrome patients attending the lifestyle clinic of a tertiary care hospital in the Salem district of Tamil Nadu, India. For the quantitative component, 210 was the sample size and for the qualitative component, the sample size was six.
