Recombinant fabs dominate the pharmaceutical pipelines today with microbial host systems continuing to be a major contributor toward their production. is a versatile host for recombinant protein expression due to its simplicity, affordability, and ability to be cultivated at high cell density. It is particularly suitable for non-glycosylated proteins and small proteins.

Article Synopsis
  • Low-dose emicizumab has the potential to be a cost-effective treatment for hemophilia A, particularly beneficial in developing countries.
  • A study compared the safety and efficacy of low-dose emicizumab (3 mg/kg monthly) against low-dose factor VIII prophylaxis (10-20 IU/kg twice a week) in two groups of patients.
  • Results showed that low-dose emicizumab resulted in significantly better outcomes in various measures, with similar treatment costs compared to low-dose FVIII, making it a promising option for improving access to hemophilia treatment.

Background: Local anesthetic injections may induce pain in children, leading to fear and anxiety during subsequent visits. Among the various approaches recommended to reduce pain, one is the use of a Buzzy Bee™ device that operates on the concept of gate control theory and distraction. The literature regarding its effectiveness during the deposition of local anesthesia remains limited; hence, the aim of the present study was to determine the efficacy of extraoral cold and vibrating devices in reducing pain perception during the deposition of local anesthesia.

There have been no experiments on interactive modelling through computer games, although there have been a few on modelling a pre-exposure method for managing anxiety among preschoolers. The impact of partaking in a dental simulation game prior to the dental treatment on pain and anxiety in kids aged 4 to7 years during their first appointment was studied. A total of 156 kids who required unilateral pulp therapy and preformed crowns on their mandibular primary molars were enrolled in this double-blind, randomized clinical trial.

Aim: Root canal irrigation using a mixture of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCL) and chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) might cause a precipitate to develop. This study aims to check the efficacy of sodium thiosulfate and normal saline as irrigating solutions.

Materials And Methods: Roots of 45 teeth were biomechanically prepared, and the teeth were then tested.

Background & Objectives: During the COVID-19 pandemic it was important to assess the antibody profile in individuals vaccinated with Covaxin (BBV152) and Covishield (ChAdOx1 nCoV-19) with both 28 and 84 days gaps between two doses, those infected with SARS-CoV-2 and post-COVID-19-infected individuals vaccinated with only one dose of either of the vaccines. The present study was aimed to assess these objectives.

Methods: Fifty real time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR)-confirmed COVID-19-infected individuals, along with 90 COVID-19-naïve (BBV152 and ChAdOx1 nCov-19)-vaccinated individuals, were included in the study.

Background: Knowledge of the cytotoxicity and bioactivity of endodontic materials may assist in understanding their ability to promote dental pulp stem cell activity and pulp healing in primary teeth.

Materials And Methods: This systematic review was carried out by searching the electronic databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane reviews for the articles published between January 2000 and December 2018 using the appropriate MeSH keywords. An independent investigator evaluated the abstracts and titles for possible inclusion, as per the stipulated inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Localized drug delivery with sustained elution characteristics from nanocarrier coated stents represents a viable therapeutic approach to circumvent concerns related to coronary stent therapy. We fabricated a Sirolimus (SRL) and Bivalirudin (BIV) releasing nanoparticles (NPs) coated stent for concurrent mitigation of vascular restenosis and acute stent thrombosis. SRL NPs were prepared by nanoprecipitation method whereas the BIV vesicles were generated using hydrophobic ion pair approach followed by micellization phenomenon.

Background: Treatment of patients with hemophilia with an inhibitor is generally done using bypassing agents (BPA), wherein variability in response is observed. Due to lack of validated laboratory assays, monitoring is being carried out by clinical response only. Emerging biomarkers like procoagulant microparticles (MPs) may prove to be promising.

The current work investigates intensification of delignification of sawdust and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis to produce reducing sugars with the use of ultrasound. Alkaline hydrolysis of sawdust was initially performed to remove lignin which hampers the rate of enzymatic hydrolysis. Effect of different parameters in the case of ultrasound (US) assisted and conventional processes such as alkali concentration (0.

Objectives: Presence of lupus anticoagulants (LA) in haemophilia and their interference in coagulation assays is well-known. Factor VIII (FVIII) inhibitors are generally time and temperature dependent whereas LAs are immediate acting inhibitors (IAIs). The present study reports the challenges in laboratory detection of both progressive and non-progressive, specific FVIII inhibitors in the presence of LA.

Dysfibrinogenemia is a very challenging disorder, and there are no firm guidelines on treatment for pregnant patients with dysfibrinogenemia. A 37-year-old patient with a history of six unexplained recurrent miscarriages was referred for thrombophilia testing. Elevated procoagulant microparticles were found, for which during her seventh pregnancy anticoagulant therapy was initiated.

Background: Cell-derived microparticles (MPs) are important biomarkers in many facets of medicine. However, the MP detection methods used till date are costly and time consuming. The main aim of this study was to standardize an in-house clot based screening method for MP detection which would not only be specific and sensitive, but also inexpensive.

The most frequently hypothesized cause of unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) refers to a defective maternal haemostatic response leading to uteroplacental thrombosis. Approximately 20% women suffering from pregnancy loss (PL) are associated with autoimmune disorders and more than 50% remain idiopathic after common traditional investigations. The present study aims to investigate the prevalence of different genetic and acquired thrombophilia markers in a large series of Indian women with RPL.
