Background: Aquaculture systems that sporadically depend on antibiotics can contribute to the development of adverse effects on the fish, microbial flora and the environment. This study sought to investigate the impacts of extended oxytetracycline supplementation on the freshwater stinging catfish through a multi-biomarker approach.

Methods: A total of 300 (20 ± 0.

Article Synopsis
  • Bone neoplasms are a group of tumors that mainly affect the appendicular skeleton, especially in adolescents and young adults, and pose significant health risks due to their rapid growth and potential for metastasis.
  • This retrospective study examined 63 patients at a medical college in Western India over 18 months, focusing on age, sex distribution, and tumor types based on WHO classification, finding a mean patient age of 25.8 years and a male-to-female ratio of 1.17:1.
  • The study revealed that benign tumors were more common (57.11%) than malignant ones (42.85%), with giant cell tumors and osteosarcoma being the most frequently identified types respectively.

The briskened urge to develop potential antibacterial candidates against multidrug-resistant pathogens has motivated the present research study. Herein, newly synthesized coumarin derivatives with azomethine and amino-methylated as the functional groups have been focused on their antibacterial efficacy. The study proposed two distinct series: 3-acetyl substituted coumarin derivatives, followed by the Schiff base approach (5a-5i), and formaldehyde-secondary cyclic amine-based derivatives (7a-7g), using the Mannich base approach, further the compounds have been confirmed through various spectral studies.

This research article investigates the intricate interplay between climate change, global sea level rise (SLR), and the impacts of sea level rise on the coastal regions of India. Through an interdisciplinary approach, this paper provides an overview of the global consequences of SLR on coastal communities, exploring economic, social, and environmental impacts on agriculture, communities, and coastal areas. The study examines the displacement of communities and its impact on food security, infrastructure, tourism, and ecological loss based on a comprehensive literature review.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) depletion has been postulated as a contributor to the severity of COVID-19; however, no study has prospectively characterized NAD and its metabolites in relation to disease severity in patients with COVID-19. We measured NAD and its metabolites in 56 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and in two control groups without COVID-19: (1) 31 age- and sex-matched adults with comorbidities, and (2) 30 adults without comorbidities. Blood NAD concentrations in COVID-19 group were only slightly lower than in the control groups (p < 0.
