Current concepts and molecular mechanisms in pharmacogenetics of essential hypertension.

Hypertension is a leading age-related disease in our society and if left untreated, leads to fatal cardiovascular complications. The prevalence of hypertension has increased and becomes a significant global health economic burden, particularly in lower-income societies. Many loci associated with blood pressure and hypertension have been reported by genome-wide association studies that provided potential targets for pharmacotherapy.

Impact of Tm and Tb Rare Earth Cations Substitution on the Structure and Magnetic Parameters of Co-Ni Nanospinel Ferrite.

Tm-Tb co-substituted Co-Ni nanospinel ferrites (NSFs) as (CoNi) [TmTbFe]O (x = 0.00-0.05) NSFs were attained via the ultrasound irradiation technique.

Functional SrBaSmFeO/(NiZnFeO) Hard-Soft Ferrite Nanocomposites: Structure, Magnetic and Microwave Properties.

This paper reports the correlation between the composition of the functional SrBaSmFeO/(NiZnFeO) hard-soft nanocomposites (SrBaSmFe/(NiZnFe) NCs), where 0.0 ≤ x ≤ 3.0, and their structural features, magnetic, and microwave properties.

Role and relevance of BRAF mutations in risk stratifying patients of papillary thyroid cancers along with a review of literature.

Introduction: Molecular markers are increasingly being explored as a potential diagnostic and prognostic tool in patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancers and B-type Raf kinase (BRAF) V600E mutation has received a wide attention in this regard. Many clinical studies have demonstrated an association of BRAF V600E mutation with aggressive clinicopathologic characteristics and high tumor recurrence and mortality in patients with papillary thyroid cancers. Papillary thyroid cancers has been abbreviated and PTCs.

Morphological characterization and biocontrol effects of Vibrio vulnificus phages against Vibriosis in the shrimp aquaculture environment.

The re-emerging field of phage therapy is the potential biocontrol agents for the transfer of virulence factor and to kill their bacterial hosts. In this study, the lytic Vibrio vulnificus phages were studied to provide a better understanding of phage-host interactions and development of phage therapy. Four new V.

Fabrication and characterization of chitosan nanoparticles and collagen-loaded polyurethane nanocomposite membrane coated with heparin for atrial septal defect (ASD) closure.

Atrial septal defect (ASD) constitutes 30-40% of all congenital heart diseases in adults. The most common complications in the treatment of ASD are embolization of the device and thrombosis formation. In this research, an occluding patch was developed for ASD treatment using a well-known textile technology called electrospinning.

Analysis of the curve of Spee and the curve of Wilson in adult Indian population: A three-dimensional measurement study.

Statement Of Problem: When reconstructing the occlusal curvatures dentists often use a 4-inch radii arc as a rough standard based on Monson spherical theory. The use of an identical radius for the curve of Spee for all patients may not be appropriate because each patient is individually different. The validity of application of this theory in the Indian population and the present study has been undertaken.

Elongated styloid process: A study.

The styloid process (SP) on the temporal bone is a highly variable formation. The normal length of the SP ranges from 20 to 30 mm. In spite of its being normally distributed in the population, SPs could be divided into two groups - short SPs with >20 mm and long SPs with <20 mm in length.

Effect of oral curcuma gel in gingivitis management - a pilot study.

Background: Various modalities of treatments are available for gingival disease, but there are adverse effects of these conventional compounds. This led to the search of natural products which are highly beneficial and biocompatible. Turmeric is one such novel product obtained from plants, known for its varied medicinal value.
