Unprecedented Multifunctionality in Novel Monophase Micro/Nanostructured Ti-Zn Alloy.

It is always challenging to integrate multiple functions into one material system. However, those materials/devices will address society's critical global challenges and technological demands if achieved with innovative design strategies and engineering. Here, one such material with a broader spectrum of desired properties appropriate for seven applications is identified and explored, and a glucose-sensing-triggered energy-storage mechanism is demonstrated.

Preoperative Templating of Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone Graft for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Morphometry-Based Graft Harvest Method.

Background: Knowledge of anatomy and morphometry of the patella and patellar tendon is crucial for the selection of bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) graft for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Graft tunnel mismatch in BTB graft especially in patients with patella alta or baja can result in compromised fixation for the bone-to-bone healing. This complication can be avoided by proper templating of graft using parameters measured from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Characterization and Assessment of 2, 4-Diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG)-Producing VSMKU3054 for the Management of Tomato Bacterial Wilt Caused by .

Microbial bio-products are becoming an appealing and viable alternative to chemical pesticides for effective management of crop diseases. These bio-products are known to have potential to minimize agrochemical applications without losing crop yield and also restore soil fertility and productivity. In this study, the inhibitory efficacy of 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG) produced by VSMKU3054 against was assessed.

Lipoma Arborescens: can we afford to miss it?

Introduction: Lipoma Arborescens is an extremely rare, benign lesion effecting the synovial tissue of joints. It is characterized by villous lipomatous proliferation of the synovial tissue. The aim of our study was to evaluate its diagnostic features and analyse the functional outcome of arthroscopic management.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection in Sports Injuries.

Background: Sports injuries are very common, and the management demands high degrees of skills and best techniques for an early return to play. The use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections in the treatment of tendon, muscle and ligament injuries has become popular. This study observes the outcomes of PRP injections in sports injuries.

Partial purification and characterization of 2, 4-diacetylphloroglucinol producing VSMKU3054 against bacterial wilt disease of tomato.

We find out the antimicrobial potential of partially purified 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG) against and fungal plant pathogens isolated from tomato rhizobacterium VSMKU3054. The present study is mainly focused on the control of wilt disease of tomato by our isolate VSMKU3054 and DAPG. The cell free culture filtrate of VSMKU3054 was significantly arrested the growth of and fungal pathogens such as , , and compared to control.

Effect of Refractory Tantalum Metal Filling on the Microstructure and Thermoelectric Properties of CoSb Skutterudites.

We report a systematic investigation of the microstructure and thermoelectric properties of refractory element-filled nanostructured CoSb skutterudites. The refractory tantalum (Ta) metal-filled CoSb samples (Ta CoSb ( = 0, 0.4, 0.

Discovery of carbon nanotubes in sixth century BC potteries from Keeladi, India.

Unique black coatings were observed in the inner wall of pottery shreds excavated from Keeladi, Tamilnadu, India. Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to understand the nature of the coating. The analysis revealed the presence of single, multi-walled carbon nanotubes and layered sheets in the coating.

Anterior knee pain in ACL reconstruction with BPTB graft - Is it a myth? Comparative outcome analysis with hamstring graft in 1,250 patients.

Unlabelled: Anterior Knee Pain(AKP) has been quoted as the main disadvantage of Bone Patellar Tendon Bone (BPTB)graft in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR). We overcome the problem by harvesting BPTB graft by mini-open mobile window technique.

Objectives: To investigate postoperative incidence of AKP with BPTB graft in comparison with hamstring graft during primary ACLR.

Evaluation of regeneration of semitendinosus tendon using ultrasound imaging and isokinetic strength testing after graft harvest for arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Background: A lot of the research has been done worldwide evaluating the capacity of the semitendinosus tendon to regenerate which has not been conducted in the Indian population.

Study Design: 31 patients who underwent unilateral ACL reconstruction with hamstrings were taken into study. All patients underwent ultrasonography imaging of both knees and bilateral isokinetic flexion strength assessment at a one-year postoperative period.

Rowing Injuries in Elite Athletes: A Review of Incidence with Risk Factors and the Role of Biomechanics in Its Management.

Background: Rowing is an Olympic sport gaining popularity in India and injuries are common in these athletes. Determinants of performance, injury risk and training are all interrelated in rowing. Injuries result from various risk factors including fitness issues and improper techniques.

Ultrahigh Average Thermoelectric Figure of Merit, Low Lattice Thermal Conductivity and Enhanced Microhardness in Nanostructured (GeTe) (AgSbSe ).

Waste heat sources are generally diffused and provide a range of temperatures rather than a particular temperature. Thus, thermoelectric waste heat to electricity conversion requires a high average thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT ) of materials over the entire working temperature along with a high peak thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT ). Herein an ultrahigh ZT of 1.

Surgeons often underestimate the amount of blood loss in replacement surgeries.

Objective: To assess the accuracy of the clinically estimated blood loss (EBL) when compared with the actual blood loss (ABL) in replacement surgeries.
