Co-existence of oral intra-muscular lipoma and lobular capillary hemangioma: A rare case report.

Introduction: Intramuscular lipoma are benign mesenchymal soft tissue neoplasm of mature adipocytes that arises within the muscle. Oral intramuscular lipoma are more commonly seen on tongue. Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) on the other hand are common benign vascular neoplasms which are often confused with pyogenic granuloma.

Decreased risk of cholangiocarcinoma in diabetic patients treated with metformin.

Background: Cholangiocarcinoma is an important biliary tract cancer. The high incidence of this cancer is observed in tropical Asia. Several underlying factors are mentioned for this cancer including to diabetes mellitus.

Role of endoscopy in surgical management of cholesteatoma: A systematic review.

Endoscopes are increasingly being used in cholesteatoma surgeries either as an adjunct to microscopes or sometimes exclusively. Their role at present is more as adjunct to microscope which still remains the work-horse for mastoidectomy. However, as endoscopy and endoscopic instruments are increasingly getting refined, role of endoscopy in management of cholesteatoma is continuously being appraised with progressively newer studies.

The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the management and course of chronic urticaria.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically disrupts health care around the globe. The impact of the pandemic on chronic urticaria (CU) and its management are largely unknown.

Aim: To understand how CU patients are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic; how specialists alter CU patient management; and the course of CU in patients with COVID-19.

Magnetically separable Zn Co Mg FeO ferrites: stable and efficient sunlight-driven photocatalyst for environmental remediation.

Nanomaterials have recently gained significant interest as they are believed to offer an outstanding prospect for use in environmental remediation. Among many possible candidates, due to their useful properties including magnetic nature, wide surface area, and high absorptivity, ferrite materials hold tremendous appeal, allowing them to be used for multifaceted applications. In the present study, using a sol-gel auto combustion process, a magnetically separable Zn Co Mg FeO ( = 0.

Recovery of Human Embryonic Stem Cells-Derived Neural Progenitors Exposed to Hypoxic-Ischemic-Reperfusion Injury by Indirect Exposure to Wharton's Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells Through Phosphatidyl-inositol-3-Kinase Pathway.

Increasing evidence suggests that mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) have beneficial effects in hypoxic ischemic reperfusion injury, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, we first examined the effect of OGD reperfusion injury on the vulnerability of human NPs derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) with regard to cell survival and oxidative stress. Cellular deregulation was assessed by measuring glutathione levels, basal calcium and intracellular calcium [Ca] response under KCl stimulation, as well as the key parameters of proliferation, glial progenitor marker expression and migration.

Two birds with one stone: oyster mushroom mediated bimetallic Au-Pt nanoparticles for agro-waste management and anticancer activity.

Agriculture has the most significant contribution in fulfilling the basic human need, sustaining life, and strengthening the economy of any country. To feed the exploding population of the world, there has been a quantum jump in the production of agricultural commodities, which has led to the production of a substantial considerable quantity of agricultural and agro-industrial wastes. The bulks of these wastes are lignocellulosic in nature and consist of three main polymeric constituents, i.

The long noncoding RNA MALAT1 suppresses miR-211 to confer protection from ultraviolet-mediated DNA damage in vitiligo epidermis by upregulating sirtuin 1.

Background: The absence of melanocytes poses a challenge for long-term tissue homeostasis in vitiligo. Surprisingly, while individuals with Fitzpatrick phototypes I-II (low melanin content) have a higher incidence of melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer, people with vitiligo are at a decreased risk for the same.

Objectives: To understand the molecular mechanisms that protect vitiligo skin from ultraviolet (UV)-induced DNA damage by (i) characterizing differentially expressed microRNAs in lesional vs.

Salivary Raman Spectroscopy: Standardization of Sampling Protocols and Stratification of Healthy and Oral Cancer Subjects.

Minimally invasive cancer detection using bio-fluids has been actively pursued due to practical limitations, though there are better suited noninvasive and online in vivo methods. Saliva is one such clinically informative bio-fluid that offers the advantages of easy and multiple sample collection. Despite its potential in cancer diagnostics, saliva analysis is challenging due to its heterogeneous composition.

COVID19 Infection in Health Care Professionals: Risks, Work-Safety and Psychological Issues.

COVID-19 infection has spread widely over past 5 months to become a pandemic of global proportions affecting almost every country. While HCPs are expected to tackle this crisis by working in hospital and intensive care setting, there is real risk of them contracting infection and even dying. This article aims to report cases of healthcare personnel (HCPs) contracting COVID19 in various settings in a tertiary care hospital, a designated COVID centre, with view to disseminate information and review safety and psychological health issues of healthcare professionals.

Clinical evaluation of the pharmacological impact of ashwagandha root extract on sleep in healthy volunteers and insomnia patients: A double-blind, randomized, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal.) is long known for its sleep-inducing effects.
