Recent insights into antibacterial potential of benzothiazole derivatives.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a worldwide concern among infectious diseases due to increased mortality, morbidity and treatment cost. According to WHO 2019 report, among the 32 antibiotics in the clinical trials, only six were classified as innovative and containing novel moiety. The remaining antibiotics from this list contain previously known moiety (WHO AMR 2019).

Recent Insights into Osimertinib Analogues against EGFR Positive Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.

Background: Lung cancer is a highly lethal malignancy with a poor prognosis and the leading cause of mortality worldwide. The development of mutations makes lung cancer treatment more challenging and expensive. Successful identification of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations led to the discovery of various third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Quinoline Hydrazide/Hydrazone Derivatives: Recent Insights on Antibacterial Activity and Mechanism of Action.

Antibiotics are becoming gradually ineffective due to drug resistance, leading to greater difficulty in the treatment of infectious diseases. Therefore, the development of new chemical entities with different mechanisms of action is essential in the fight against resistant microorganisms. Various studies have shown that quinoline hydrazide/hydrazone derivatives possess several biological activities, such as antimalarial, antitubercular, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial.

Sources, controls, and probabilistic health risk assessment of fluoride contamination in groundwater from a semi-arid region in Gujarat, Western India: An isotope-hydrogeochemical perspective.

Fluoride contamination in groundwaters of a rural region in semi-arid Western India has been studied using combination of geochemical-and-isotopic techniques, in conjunction with Health Quotient assessment approach. The objective of this study is to determine the sources and controls on fluoride content and to evaluate probabilistic non-carcinogenic risk associated with its long-term consumption. F ranges from 0.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Parents' Evaluation of Developmental Status (PEDS), PEDS Developmental Milestones, and PEDS Combined in Indian Children Aged Less than 2 Years.

Objective: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of Parent's Evaluation of Developmental Status (PEDS), PEDS Developmental Milestones (PEDS:DM) and PEDS Combined for developmental screening of Indian children aged less than 2 y.

Method: A hospital-based study of diagnostic accuracy was conducted over 17 mo. Children under 24 mo (n = 180) were enrolled after exclusion of severe illnesses or known neurodevelopment disorders.

Immunohistochemical characterization of molecular subtypes of invasive breast cancer: a study from North India.

In recent years breast cancer has been classified on the basis of its molecular characteristics by gene expression profiling. A similar classification using immunohistochemistry has been identified so that it has a wider application. This study was designed to define the precise prevalence of molecular subtypes of invasive breast carcinoma using immunohistochemistry in patients from north India and to correlate it with known clinical and histological prognostic factors.

BRCA1-methylated sporadic breast cancers are BRCA-like in showing a basal phenotype and absence of ER expression.

BRCA1 mutations have been associated with hereditary breast cancer only. Recent studies indicate that a subgroup of sporadic breast cancer might also be associated with reduction in BRCA1 mRNA levels and protein expression. However, the mechanism of reduced mRNA and protein expression is yet not fully elucidated.

Melasma: treatment strategy.

Melasma, a hypermelanosis of the face, is a common skin problem of middle-aged women of all racial groups, especially with dark complexion. Its precise etio-pathogenesis is evasive, genetic influences, exposure to sunlight, pregnancy, oral contraceptives, estrogen-progesterone therapies, thyroid dysfunction, cosmetics, and drugs have been proposed. Centro-facial, malar, and mandibular are well-recognized.

Development and quality evaluation of honey based carrot candy.

Candy was prepared with 3 different combinations of honey and carrot by using 750 g honey + 1,000 g carrot (T1), 1,000 g honey + 1,000 g carrot (T2) and 1,250 g honey + 1,000 g carrot (T3). To establish the best product, sensory evaluation was done on 9-point Hedonic scale. T1 was found to be most preferred candy.

Male adnexal tumour of wolffian origin: the first report of metastatic disease.

The first case of a male adnexal tumour of probable wolffian duct origin to develop metastatic disease is reported. The characteristic histological appearance and immunohistochemical profiles of the primary and metastatic male tumours are discussed. The scanty experience relating to metastatic disease makes decisions about the most appropriate treatment challenging.
