COMPUTATIONAL 2D and 3D MEDICAL IMAGE DATA COMPRESSION MODELS.

In this world of big data, the development and exploitation of medical technology is vastly increasing and especially in big biomedical imaging modalities available across medicine. At the same instant, acquisition, processing, storing and transmission of such huge medical data requires efficient and robust data compression models. Over the last two decades, numerous compression mechanisms, techniques and algorithms were proposed by many researchers.

Novel mononuclear Cu (II) terpyridine complexes: Impact of fused ring thiophene and thiazole head groups towards DNA/BSA interaction, cleavage and antiproliferative activity on HepG2 and triple negative CAL-51 cell line.

Two mononuclear copper (II) terpyridine complexes namely, [Cu(Btptpy) (ClO)](ClO) 1, and [Cu(Bttpy) (ClO)](ClO) 2, (Btptpy (L) = 4'-(Benzothiophene)-2,2':6',2″-terpyridine, Bttpy (L) = 4'-(Benzylthiazolyl)-2,2':6',2″-terpyridine) have been synthesized and characterized. Single crystal X-ray diffraction shows that, both ligands belong to monoclinic crystal system with space group P2/c (L) and P2/n (L). Absorption spectral titration, DNA melting study, circular dichroism and viscosity measurement reveal that, complex 1 and 2 bind with DNA through intercalation.

Role of dietary habits and diet in caries occurrence and severity among urban adolescent school children.

To identify the role of dietary habits (type of diet, skipping meals, snacking in-between meals and frequency of visits to fast food restaurants) in caries occurrence and severity. To explore the correlation between frequency of intake of selected foods and dental caries. A cross-sectional study was carried out on adolescent children (n = 916) of age 13-19, following a two-stage random sampling technique.

Pocket Money: Influence on Body Mass Index and Dental Caries among Urban Adolescents.

Objective: To explore the influence of pocket money on Dental Caries and Body Mass Index.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted wherein urban adolescent schoolchildren of age 13-18(n=916) were selected by two stage random sampling technique. Dental caries was measured using the DMFT Index.

Molecular dynamics investigations on the effect of D amino acid substitution in a triple-helix structure and the stability of collagen.

Studies on the structure and stability of peptides and proteins during l-->d configurational change are certainly important for the designing of peptides with new biological activity and protein engineering. The l-->d amino acid (d AA) changes have been observed in aged proteins such as collagen. Hence, in this study, an attempt has been made to explore the effect of the replacement of l amino acid (l AA) in the model collagen-like peptides with d AA and the origin of structural stability (destability) has been traced using the molecular dynamics (MD) method employing the AMBER force field.
