The aim of the present study was to evaluate a marketed formulation against chemotherapy-induced cognitive dysfunction. The formulation, Mulmina™, contains natural compounds which are known to help in improving function as well as in preventing cognitive decline. All of the phytocon-stituents in the formulation have been tested individually but this is the first study where such a formulation has been evaluated against chemotherapy-induced cognitive decline (CICD) in a mouse model. CICD was induced by cyclophosphamide (50 mg/kg), methotrexate (5 mg/kg), and 5-fluorouracil (5 mg/kg) (CMF), administered intraperitonially. CMF was administered in three cycles, with one injection per week for three …

Despite knowing that females are at a higher risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and poor prognosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), there are very few studies focusing on urinary 11-dehyrdothromboxane B2 (dh-TxB2) concentration (for aspirin non-responsiveness) differences among males and females. The present prospective observational study aimed to evaluate the dh-TxB2 levels and associate them with clinical outcomes in males and females with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) after PTCA. The dh-TxB2 ELISA assay was carried out twice, at baseline and 6 months follow-up, and outcomes were assessed for 1 year. The average cut-off value of dh-TxB2 was …

Anomalies of the peritoneum and the colon are quite common. Some of these anomalies can disturb the normal digestive and absorptive functions of the intestine and the others might result in formation of volvulus or impede the blood supply of the intestine. We report a rare, combined variation of peritoneum and ascending colon. In a 70-year-old male cadaver, the greater omentum was very small and extended only for about an inch below the transverse colon. From its lower end, a fibrous band extended to the right wall of the upper part of ascending colon. There was a deep constriction on …

Longer survival due to use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has made human immunodeficiency virus- (HIV-) infected individuals prone to chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Metabolic syndrome (MS), a constellation of risk factors which increase chances of the cardiovascular disease and diabetes, can increase the morbidity and mortality among this population. Hence, the present study was conducted with the objectives of estimating the prevalence and determinants of MS among ART naïve and ART-treated patients and assess their 5-year CVD risk using the reduced version of Data Collection on Adverse Effects of Anti-HIV Drugs (D: A: D) …

Background: The mylohyoid nerve is a branch of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN), which is a branch of the posterior division of the mandibular nerve (MN). It is the source of motor nerve supply to the mylohyoid and anterior belly of the digastric muscle. At times, it provides sensory innervation to the mandibular teeth and skin below the chin. Since the location, anatomical variation and communications of the mylohyoid nerve are varied, it becomes clinically important to have an in-depth knowledge when treating patients for dental and maxillofacial procedures. Such anatomical variations of the mylohyoid nerve innervations may account for …

A Static Synchronous Series Compensator incorporating energy storage device (SSSC-ES) at the DC bus enables the exchange of true power with the system in addition to line reactance compensation. This facilitates improved control of real and reactive power in a transmission system. However, the four-quadrant operation of SSSC presents additional problems for the accurate operation of conventional transmission line protection. In this paper, an in-depth analysis of the effect of emulated reactance and resistance by SSSC-ES installed at the center of a hybrid series compensated line on the performance of distance relay is carried out. An investigation is performed with …

Primary cilia are non-motile sensory antennae present on most vertebrate cell surfaces. They serve to transduce and integrate diverse external stimuli into functional cellular responses vital for development, differentiation and homeostasis. Ciliary characteristics, such as length, structure and frequency are often tailored to distinct differentiated cell states. Primary cilia are present on a variety of skeletal cell-types and facilitate the assimilation of sensory cues to direct skeletal development and repair. However, there is limited knowledge of ciliary variation in response to the activation of distinct differentiation cascades in different skeletal cell-types. C3H10T1/2, MC3T3-E1 and ATDC5 cells are mesenchymal stem cells, …

In this research work, we propose a method for human action recognition based on the combination of structural and temporal features. The pose sequence in the video is considered to identify the action type. The structural variation features are obtained by detecting the angle made between the joints during the action, where the angle binning is performed using multiple thresholds. The displacement vector of joint locations is used to compute the temporal features. The structural variation features and the temporal variation features are fused using a neural network to perform action classification. We conducted the experiments on different categories of …

Precise analysis of the vocal fold vibratory pattern in a stroboscopic video plays a key role in the evaluation of voice disorders. Automatic glottis segmentation is one of the preliminary steps in such analysis. In this work, it is divided into two subproblems namely, glottis localization and glottis segmentation. A two step convolutional neural network (CNN) approach is proposed for the automatic glottis segmentation. Data augmentation is carried out using two techniques : 1) Blind rotation (WB), 2) Rotation with respect to glottis orientation (WO). The dataset used in this study contains stroboscopic videos of 18 subjects with Sulcus vocalis, …

A large body of research implicates the brain and fat body (liver equivalent) as central players in coordinating growth and nutritional homeostasis in multicellular animals. In this regard, an underlying connection between immune cells and growth is also evident, although mechanistic understanding of this cross-talk is scarce. Here, we explore the importance of innate immune cells in animal growth during homeostasis and in conditions of nutrient stress. We report that Drosophila larvae lacking blood cells eclose as small adults and show signs of insulin insensitivity. Moreover, when exposed to dietary stress of a high-sucrose diet (HSD), these animals are further …

The inhibiting performance of Garcinia indica Choisy extract was studied on Al in phosphoric acid solution via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique and by using response surface methodology (RSM) of the design of experiment. The surface analysis was carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) to affirm the adsorption of inhibitor on the surface of metal. In the study, the influence of three process variables (extract concentration, acid concentration, and temperature) are considered on the inhibition efficiency of Al in acid. The process variables considered for the study were taken in 3 levels: temperature (X1) …
