Effect of a Web-Based Heartfulness Program on the Mental Well-Being, Biomarkers, and Gene Expression Profile of Health Care Students: Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Health care students often experience high levels of stress, anxiety, and mental health issues, making it crucial to address these challenges. Variations in stress levels may be associated with changes in dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels and gene expression. Meditative practices have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing stress and improving mental well-being.

Non-typhoidal in humans in India, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka: a systematic review.

Objectives: Non-typhoidal (NTS) commonly causes a self-limiting illness but invasive disease (iNTS) can be life-threatening. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) increases the risk of mortality. This systematic review aimed to estimate the proportion of NTS isolated in those attending healthcare services, serovar burden, AMR, serovar-specific AMR, and case fatality rate (CFR) in India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Vietnam.

Exploration of rumen microbial and carbohydrate-active enzyme profiles in cattle fed coir a lignin-rich diet using a metagenomic approach.

Lignocellulosic biomass is a rich source of feed for cattle. Amongst them, coconut coir may be the potential source of feed supplements. To assess, the effect of various concentrations of coconut coir (0 %, 21 % and 40 %) as a feed supplement on the rumen microbiome of cattle (Kankrej breed), a metagenomic (16S rRNA gene amplicon and shotgun sequencing) study was performed.

Rumen and fecal microbial profiles in cattle fed high lignin diets using metagenome analysis.

Coconut coir (a lignin-rich, organic material) is widely used for its commercial and economic benefits. In this study, crossbred (exotic) and Kankrej (indigenous) breeds of cattle were fed diets containing 7 or 14% coconut coir. Metagenomic analyses (16S rRNA gene amplicon and shotgun sequencing) were used to characterize the microbial community in the rumen and fecal samples along with their functional capabilities.

Exploring the eukaryotic diversity in rumen of Indian camel (Camelus dromedarius) using 18S rRNA amplicon sequencing.

In addition to a wide variety of anaerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria, camel rumen also harbors a diverse of eukaryotic organisms. In the present study, the eukaryotic communities of camel rumen were characterized using 18S rRNA amplicon sequencing. Metagenomic DNA was isolated from rumen samples of fourteen adult Bikaneri and Kachchhi breeds of camel fed different diets containing Jowar, Bajra, Maize, and Guar.

Molecular survey of basidiomycetes and divergence time estimation: An Indian perspective.

This study outlines the biodiversity of mushrooms of India. It reveals the molecular biodiversity and divergence time estimation of basidiomycetes from Gujarat, India. A total of 267 mushrooms were collected from 10 locations across the state.
