Electronic address:

A series of new pyrazolo-benzothiazole hybrids (7-26) were synthesised and screened for their cytotoxic activity towards several cancer cell lines [colon (HT-29), prostate (PC-3), lung (A549), glioblastoma (U87MG)] and normal human embryonic kidney cell line (Hek-293T). Compounds 8, 9, 13, 14, 18, 19, 23, and 24 displayed significant activity, with compound 14 being particularly potent towards all the tested cancer cell lines with IC values in the range 3.17-6.

Article Synopsis
  • Urban slums like those in Hyderabad face increased TB transmission due to overcrowding and poor infection control, making these areas "hot spots" for the disease.
  • An investigation was conducted to use local postmen and GPS technology to accurately map TB hotspots, utilizing data from a 12-year period to pinpoint infectious locations.
  • The findings suggested that mapping helped visualize clusters of TB cases, identified risk factors like crowding and poor sanitation, and facilitated early intervention to combat TB.

Cross-system practice is widely prevalent in Indian settings. The recent policy decisions of the Government of India and the legalisation of cross-system practice in various states have brought this issue into the limelight once again. We aim to critically evaluate this issue from the philosophical, academic, and public health perspectives, as well as with reference to training.

Current concept in neural regeneration research: NSCs isolation, characterization and transplantation in various neurodegenerative diseases and stroke: A review.

J Adv Res

May 2014

Centre for Liver Research and Diagnostics, Deccan College of Medical Sciences, Kanchanbagh, Hyderabad, 500 058 Andhra Pradesh, India ; Paspala Advanced Neural (PAN) Research Foundation, Narayanguda, Hyderabad, 500 029 Andhra Pradesh, India.

Since last few years, an impressive amount of data has been generated regarding the basic in vitro and in vivo biology of neural stem cells (NSCs) and there is much far hope for the success in cell replacement therapies for several human neurodegenerative diseases and stroke. The discovery of adult neurogenesis (the endogenous production of new neurons) in the mammalian brain more than 40 years ago has resulted in a wealth of knowledge about stem cells biology in neuroscience research. Various studies have done in search of a suitable source for NSCs which could be used in animal models to understand the basic and transplantation biology before treating to human.

Department of Surgery, Desai Hospitals, 3-6-274, Himayatnagar, Hyderabad, 500 029 India.

Common Bile duct stones (CBD) continue to pose a significant problem both to the patient and the Surgeon. They increase the morbidity of a patient undergoing Cholecystectomy from less than 5% to as much as 20% and almost zero mortality to as high as 30%. Recent times have thrown up a fair share of controversy in the management of this condition both due to technological innovations and costreduction-pressures.

Enteric protozoal parasitic infection has become an important cause of morbidity in children and adults. In the developing countries the association of Cryptosporidium with acute and persistent diarrhoea has been striking. Stool samples from 1002 patients (800 adults and 202 children) suffering from diarrhoea or other gastrointestinal symptoms were examined for the presence of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts by modified Ziehl Neelsen stained smears.

Over half of the world's malnourished children live in Asia where more than 90% of reported human rabies deaths occur. In order to determine the effect of malnutrition on the immune response to rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), 45 children with moderate to severe protein energy malnutrition (PEM) who were exposed to potentially rabid animals were enrolled in a clinical trial. Patients received purified chick embryo cell rabies vaccine (PCECV) on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 30.

Tuberculosis is caused byMycobacterium tuberculosis, an intracellular pathogen residing in macrophages. Cell mediated immune (CMI) and delayed type of hypersensitive (DTH) responses play a pivotal role in providing protection to the host. The most important cell is the CD4 T lymphocyte, which is divided into TH1 and TH2 subsets depending on the type of cytokines produced.
