Screening and genomic evaluation of keratinolytic protease producing Chryseobacterium sp. from tannery waste and its potential application in dehairing of goat skin.

Lime and NaS, used in dehairing in the tannery industry, cause the generation of toxic wastes. Ecological security and financial issues demand a look for innovative approaches to leather dehairing free from pollution. The primary goal of this investigation was to explore keratinolytic protease producing bacteria from tannery waste, their genomic evaluation and to assess their possible use in the dehairing process.

Outcomes of Pregnancy-Associated Breast Cancer: A Tertiary Care Cancer Hospital Experience.

Introduction Pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC) is defined as breast cancer diagnosed during pregnancy or within one year postpartum. There is limited data on this, especially from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), warranting further exploration. Factors such as restricted healthcare access and resources and cultural beliefs that influence awareness are the main barriers to LMICs.

A Comprehensive Review of Experimental Models of Stress: Pragmatic Insight Into Psychoneuroimmunology.

Psychoneuroimmunology is a scientific discipline exploring the interconnectedness of the nervous system, emotion state, and immune system. The current review examines the distinct mechanisms through which the mind and body interact when subjected to stress. Manifestations of psychoneuroimmunological stress encompass symptoms such as depression, aggression, fear, and social withdrawal, which can exert a profound impact on physiological well-being.

Ex-vivo optical prognosis of fibroadenoma and grade ll & lll breast cancer.

Among women worldwide, breast cancer is one of the most common cancers results from the growth of cancerous cells. This work investigates 87 patients using polarimetry in the visible spectral range (400-800 nm). Polarimetry is used for tissue characterization, particularly to prognosis cancer and biochemical quantification.
