Novel synthesis of ultra-fine SbO nanocubes using plant extract.

In this study, the synthesis of ultra-fine grade antimony trioxide (SbO) using plant extract for the first time is reported. Antimony chloride was used as a starting material and tuber extract was used as a reducing and capping agent. The synthesised nanoparticles were characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

Psychiatric morbidity in children of alcoholic parents.

Context: Children of alcoholics (COAs) are children who have grown up in families in which either one or both parents are alcoholic. The interplay of several factors such as environmental, cognitive, and genetic vulnerability has been linked to the psychopathology among COAs.

Aims: To assess psychiatric morbidity in COAs and to compare these children with the children of nonalcoholic parents.

Conversion of organic biomedical waste into potential fertilizer using isolated organisms from cow dung for a cleaner environment.

Management of organic biomedical waste is a global quandary, and it is becoming difficult to confront day by day. Conversion of organic biomedical waste into fertilizer is of great concern. In the present research, organic biomedical waste samples (blood swabs, dressing swabs, and used cotton) were collected then after cow dung was collected in sterile container and immediately transported to the laboratory and screened for any gastrointestinal infection by using routine microscopy for intestinal parasitic infection, routine bacterial culture, and fecal occult blood for any intestinal bleeding.

Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of Mast Cells in Oral Lichen Planus and Its Effect on Basement Membrane Using Special Stains.

Background: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is characterized histologically by epithelial basal cell destruction and a dense subepithelial lymphocytic infiltrate. Mast cells (MCs) play a role in the pathogenesis and progression of the disease causing changes in the basement membrane (BM). BM is seen as continuous or fragmented, distinct or indistinct, and afibrillar or fibrillar extensions.

Effect size of lithium, carbamazepine, and sodium valproate in child and adolescent bipolar 1 disorder during manic phase: A prospective open-label study.

Aim: The aim was to evaluate the "effect size (ES)," tolerability, and acceptability of lithium, carbamazepine, and sodium valproate in the acute phase treatment of pediatric Bipolar 1 disorder patients during manic phase.

Materials And Methods: This hospital-based, prospective, open-label study included 67 patients in manic phase of bipolar I disorder, aged 6-17 years, after informed consent by the caregivers. The patients were randomly assigned to the lithium group ( = 30), carbamazepine group ( = 20), and sodium valproate group ( = 17).

Rabies, rabies vaccine, and renal failure: Clinical issues.

Rabies is an important neurological infection that is prevalent in tropical countries. The rabid animals can bring rabies to humans by biting. The disease can result in serious neurological problem and death is the end result.

Sepsis in the era of data-driven medicine: personalizing risks, diagnoses, treatments and prognoses.

Sepsis is a series of clinical syndromes caused by the immunological response to infection. The clinical evidence for sepsis could typically attribute to bacterial infection or bacterial endotoxins, but infections due to viruses, fungi or parasites could also lead to sepsis. Regardless of the etiology, rapid clinical deterioration, prolonged stay in intensive care units and high risk for mortality correlate with the incidence of sepsis.

The applicability of the Demirjian, Willems and Chaillet standards to age estimation of 5-15 year old Indian children.

Background: Demirjian's method of age estimation has been reported to overestimate age and Willems' method to give consistently more accurate results. Not enough, however, is known about the applicability of Chaillet's standards.

Aim: The present study aimed to compare the accuracy of Demirjian's, Willems' and Chaillet's standards in age estimation of 5 to 15 year-old Indian children.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the oral cavity: A case report and literature review.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare tumor of unknown etiology and pathogenesis. The lesion has been recognized to occur at various sites but rarely affects the head and neck region. A 29-year-old male presented with a 13 months' history of a slow growing, painless growth in maxillary left posterior gingiva.

Abdominal Wall Endometrioma: A Diagnostic Enigma-A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Background: Abdominal wall endometriomas are quite uncommon. They are usually misdiagnosed by both the surgeon and the gynaecologist. Awareness of the details of this rare condition is therefore essential for prompt diagnosis and adequate treatment.

Patient Perception after Traumatic Brachial Plexus Injury - A Qualitative Case Report.

Study Design: This is a qualitative case study.

Introduction: Considering individual patient's perception is an important aspect of rehabilitation according to International Classification of Functioning model (Geneva, 2002).

Purpose Of Study: The report highlights the importance of patient education and considering individual's perception to achieve rehabilitation outcomes.

Hypohydrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia in an Indian Family.

Hereditary ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a rare genetic disorder chiefly affecting ectodermally derived structures including hair, nails, sweat glands etc. with pathognomic manifestations such as hypotrichosis, hypohidrosis, and hypodontia. Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplaisa, being the most frequently encountered subtype and HED, being the rare subtype.

Novel, energy efficient and green cloud point extraction: technology and applications in food processing.

Recently, a novel technique for extraction of functional thermally sensitive bioactive components from food has been developed due to its green efficacy (no toxic chemicals) and cost effectiveness. Cloud point extraction (CPE) is one of the such best alternative techniques that can be used for extraction of wide range of organic and inorganic components using green surfactants. It is a simple, rapid and inexpensive extraction technique which involves clustering of non-ionic surfactant monomers to form a hydrophobic core (micelle), which then entraps the hydrophobic bioactive compounds within it.

Bioinspired Engineering for Liver Tissue Regeneration and Development of Bioartificial Liver: A Review.

Patients with advanced liver disease have very high mortality due to associated complications such as hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome, and multiorgan failure. Liver transplant is the only therapeutic option for such patients; however, problems linked to availability, cost, complications, and side effects limit its practical application. The strong potential for hepatic regeneration and recovery has been documented in liver disease, without advance decomposition of the liver.
