Effect of Meta-Cognitive Strategy-Based Activities on Executive Functioning, Social Networking, and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Among Women.

Background  Aging has an impact on women's quality of life and is closely correlated with deteriorating social support systems and cognitive abilities. This project intends to improve women's performance, independence, and quality of life by using meta-cognitive strategy-based activities to improve executive functioning and their capacity to maintain social networks. The ultimate objective is to keep older women's cognitive abilities from declining and to give them more independence in carrying out essential everyday tasks.

Secondary metabolite profiling using HR-LCMS, antioxidant and anticancer activity of PSMS6 methanolic extract: and study.

Novel anticancer drugs of natural origin have increased tremendously due to the resistance of multiple chemotherapeutic drugs in breast cancer therapy and their high toxicity with undesirable side effects. The study investigates the bioactivity of secondary metabolites derived from PSMS6 isolated from marine soil sediment in the Velar estuary, Parangepattai, Cuddalore district, Tamil Nadu, and India. Strains were isolated and antagonistic activity was screened using the agar well diffusion method.

Temperature-Induced Luminescence Intensity Fluctuation of Protein-Protected Copper Nanoclusters: Role of Scaffold Conformation vs Nonradiative Transition.

Protein-scaffolded atomically precise metal nanoclusters (NCs) have emerged as a promising class of biofriendly nanoprobes at the forefront of modern research, particularly in the area of sensing. The photoluminescence (PL) intensity of several nanoclusters showed a systematic temperature-dependent fluctuation, but the mechanism remains ambiguous and is poorly understood. We tried to shed some light on this mechanistic aspect by testing a couple of hypotheses: (i) conformational fluctuation of the protein scaffold-mediated PL intensity fluctuation and (ii) PL intensity fluctuation due to the variation in the radiative and nonradiative transition rates.

Effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment based on movement system impairment in individuals with cervical pain: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Movement System Impairment (MSI) classification and treatment effectively diagnose and treat the individual with neck pain. There is a lacuna in the current neck pain management guidelines addressing movement-specific mechanical diagnosis. MSI is based on the movement-specific mechanical diagnosis and kinesiopathologic model.

Sorghum drought tolerance is enhanced by cerium oxide nanoparticles via stomatal regulation and osmolyte accumulation.

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] yield is limited by the coincidence of drought during its sensitive stages. The use of cerium oxide nanoparticles in agriculture is minimal despite its antioxidant properties.

Delineating a Tailor-Made Fluorescent Probe Designed for the Selective Detection of Tyrosinase.

A dicyanoisophorone based fluorescent probe (E)-2-(3-(4-hydroxystyryl)-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-ylidene)malononitrile (DCIP-OH) was developed for the selective sensing of tyrosinase in apple extract and live cells. The probe was obtained by the condensation of 2-(3,5,5-trimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-ylidene)malononitrile with 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde. Upon interaction with tyrosinase, the probe exhibited absorbance switching from 417 nm to 357 nm, accompanied by a slight increase in absorption value and an isosbestic point observed at 373 nm.

AI-based pipeline for early screening of lung cancer: integrating radiology, clinical, and genomics data.

Background: The prognosis of lung carcinoma has changed since the discovery of molecular targets and their specific drugs. Somatic Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor () mutations have been reported in lung carcinoma, and these mutant proteins act as substrates for targeted therapies. However, in a resource-constrained country like India, panel-based next-generation sequencing cannot be made available to the population at large.

Comparative Assessment of Gingival Depigmentation Using Scalpel Versus Microneedling With Ascorbic Acid: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background Gingival pigmentation (GP), characterized by the presence of melanin in the gingival tissues, is a common aesthetic concern in dental practice. While it poses no inherent health risks, the visible discoloration may cause psychological distress for individuals seeking optimal dental aesthetics. Understanding the efficacy of various methods is essential for refining treatment strategies and enhancing patient satisfaction in the realm of gingival depigmentation (GD).

A Case of Primary Tuberculous Parotitis Mimicking Parotid Neoplasm: A Rare Clinical Entity.

Primary tuberculous parotitis is an extremely rare entity presenting with nonspecific symptoms, variable clinical signs, and imaging features mimicking parotid neoplasm. It is a clinical and diagnostic challenge, and a confirmed histological diagnosis would indicate nonoperative management, thus avoiding unwarranted surgery and associated morbidity. Tuberculosis of the salivary gland is a relatively rare extrapulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis, with the incidence of tuberculous parotitis being 2%-9%.

Unusual Presentation of Synovial Lipomatosis Mimicking As Septic Arthritis of Knee: A Case Report.

Synovial lipomatosis or lipoma arborescens is a very uncommon pseudo-tumorous lesion of the synovium which more commonly affects the knee joint. The most probable cause of this pathological lesion is degenerative articular disorders of the joint and improper fat accumulation. It is characterized by presence of villous proliferation of the synovium and replacement of the sub-synovial tissue by mature adipocytes which is infiltrated by dense chronic inflammatory cells like lymphocytes, plasma cells and eosinophils.

Enhancing cervical cancer detection and robust classification through a fusion of deep learning models.

Cervical cancer, the second most prevalent cancer affecting women, arises from abnormal cell growth in the cervix, a crucial anatomical structure within the uterus. The significance of early detection cannot be overstated, prompting the use of various screening methods such as Pap smears, colposcopy, and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) testing to identify potential risks and initiate timely intervention. These screening procedures encompass visual inspections, Pap smears, colposcopies, biopsies, and HPV-DNA testing, each demanding the specialized knowledge and skills of experienced physicians and pathologists due to the inherently subjective nature of cancer diagnosis.

A Descriptive Study of the Demographic and Clinicopathological Characteristics of Individuals With Gallstone-Induced Pancreatitis in a Tertiary-Level Hospital in Ranchi, Jharkhand.

Background: Gallstones are a major cause of acute pancreatitis, which is associated with high recurrence, morbidity, and mortality. Careful consideration of demographic and clinicopathological features is required to understand the association between the cause and severity of pancreatitis in various populations, and such crucial information is lacking for Jharkhand's population. Here, we sought to describe the demographic and clinicopathological features of gallstone-induced acute pancreatitis at a tertiary hospital in Ranchi.

Leveraging ANFIS with Adam and PSO optimizers for Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor deficits, including tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability. According to the World Health Organization, about 1 % of the global population has been diagnosed with PD, and this figure is expected to double by 2040. Early and accurate diagnosis of PD is critical to slowing down the progression of the disease and reducing long-term disability.

A Novel Method of Frontal Bone Reconstruction Using Patient-Specific Implants and Costochondral Grafts: A Case Report.

The frontal bone is the vital component of the human skull and forms a part of the anterior skull vault, base, and roof of the orbits. Frontal bone defects may arise secondary to various causes like trauma, congenital defects including craniofacial clefts, tumors in the frontal bone requiring surgical intervention, and infections, like osteomyelitis, that cause osteonecrosis of the frontal bone. Reconstruction of frontal bone has been explored in the literature, and various materials are available for rehabilitation, like auto/allografts, and alloplastic materials, including bone cement, titanium meshes, and patient-specific implant (PSI).
