Efficacy and Ultrastructural Impact of Metarhizium anisopliae and Metarhizium robertsii on Myllocerus subfasciatus.

The ash weevil, Myllocerus subfasciatus, is a significant insect pest that infests brinjal. Both the adults and grubs feed on the leaves and roots, respectively, leading to considerable yield loss. The subterranean habits of the larvae limit the effectiveness of insecticide applications, necessitating the implementation of integrated pest management programs that utilize entomopathogenic fungi.

Esthetic Management of Multiple Gingival Recession - A Case Report and Review of Literature.

The importance of esthetics is increasing for the patients as well as for the dentist. With a high incidence that rises with age and a complicated soft-tissue pathology caused by a wide variety of factors, gingival recessions are a common but troublesome dental problem. They are characterized by the exposure of the root surface of the teeth due to the apical migration of the gingival border beyond the cemento-enamel junction, and they cause both functional and cosmetic disruptions.

3-Month Symptom-Based Ambidirectional Follow-up Study Among Recovered COVID-19 Patients from a Tertiary Care Hospital Using Telehealth in Chennai, India.

Objectives: Post-COVID-19 symptoms and its features in many recovered patients are almost similar to post-severe acute respiratory syndrome. The study aims to assess the outcome and manifestations during post-COVID follow-up period in recovered patients.

Methods: Ambidirectional longitudinal study was conducted among recovered COVID-19 patients from a tertiary care hospital near Chennai through telephonic interview after discharge.

Antimicrobial activity, cytotoxicity and DNA binding studies of carbon dots.

In recent years, quantum dots (QDs) are one of the most promising nanomaterials in life sciences community due to their unexploited potential in biomedical applications; particularly in bio-labeling and sensing. In the advanced nanomaterials, carbon dots (CDs) have shown promise in next generation bioimaging and drug delivery studies. Therefore the knowledge of the exact nature of interaction with biomolecules is of great interest to designing better biosensors.

Perception and prevalence of work-related health hazards among health care workers in public health facilities in southern India.

Background: Health care workers (HCWs) are exposed to occupational related health hazards. Measuring worker perception and the prevalence of these hazards can help facilitate better risk management for HCWs, as these workers are envisaged to be the first point of contact, especially in resource poor settings.

Objective: To describe the perception of occupational health hazards and self-reported exposure prevalence among HCWs in Southern India.
