Novel Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria from Rhizospheres of Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera): 16S rRNA Typing and Phylogenetic Analyses Reveal their Distinct Identity
Abstract: AbstractPlant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) comprise a large portion of soil microbiome and are essential for the growth of plants as they are capable of exhibiting a range of plant growth promoting biochemical mechanisms. Reports on rhizosphere microflora of date palm tree Phoenix dactylifera are scarce and the rhizomicrobiome of the date palm tree is expected to have microbial members that exhibit features to overcome stress due to varying conditions such …

Global Emergence of mcr-mediated Colistin Resistance in Gram-negative Bacteria: Focusing the Current Status in India Under One Health Lens
Abstract: In the global crisis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), colistin has been revived as a last resort treatment option for multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacterial infections. Rapid dissemination of mobilized colistin resistance (mcr) genes among Gram-negative bacterial pathogens is alarming the healthcare fraternity throughout the world, especially in developing countries such as India compromises infection prevention practices and reduces colistin efficacy during medical emergencies.. Several developed countries have implemented strict regulations on …

An Emerging Cause of Treatable Encephalitis: A Case of Anti-NMDA receptor (NMDAR) Encephalitis
Abstract: Anti-NMDA Receptor encephalitis is the most common type of autoimmune limbic encephalitis known. It is characterised by sub-acute onset of psychiatric symptoms along with refractory epilepsy, orofacial and limb dyskinesia and dysautonomia. High clinical suspicion and appropriate antibody testing in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum is required for early diagnosis and initiation of immunotherapy. Delay in treatment may lead to significant permanent neuro-deficits as well as mortality. Here, we present …

Sentence Judgment and Correction Abilities in Persons with Anomic and Conduction Aphasia
Abstract: Persons with aphasia posses’ difficulty in syntactic judgment, regardless of the aphasia type. Even persons with milder variants with aphasia such as conduction aphasia and anomic aphasia do exhibit deficits on syntactic judgment. The syntactic judgment ability is tested through a judgment task where the participants have to speculate the response if the sentence presented to them is correct or incorrect. In order to counteract this variable, sentence correction task …

Improvement of Motor and Sensory–Motor Behaviors after the Human Amniotic Epithelial Cells Transplantation in 6-OHDA Lesioned Corpus Striatum of Wistar Albino Rats
Abstract: Deficits in apomorphine-induced rotation and rotarod in rat have been proposed as a nondrug-induced model of the akinesia associated with the Parkinson’s disease. In the present study, we examined the disabilities in the rotarod and apomorphine-induced rotations have been observed after the 6-hydroxydopamine-induced denervation in the striatum. These impaired activities have reversed after the Human Amniotic Epithelial (HAE) cells transplantation during long-term observation. The neuronal densities and diameter were reduced …

Oral Manifestations of Haematological Disorders (RBC Disorders)
Abstract: Haematological abnormalities are diverse in nature, in its causation as well as in its clinical manifestations, most ofwhich are exhibitedin the oral cavity. In fact,the oral site in many instances could act as the forerunner of itsmanifestations before the expression of systemic signs and symptoms. The symptoms of haematological disorders are sovaried and nonspecific but often represent the initial sign of an underlying disease. Anaemic disorders are associated with orofacial …

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura: A Narrative Review of Diagnosis and Treatment by drugs and novel agents.
Abstract: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is an infrequent but fatal disease, is primarily caused by autoantibodies against the von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving metalloprotease ADAMTS13. Overall, severe deficiency of plasma ADAMTS13 action (< 10 IU dL-1) with or without noticeable inhibitory autoantibodies counter to ADAMTS13 supports the diagnosis of TTP. The International Working Group for TTP released a consensus statement on the standardization of terminology in these disorders which we use …

Cadmium and Apoptosis: A Molecular Approach
Abstract: Apoptosis, also known as programmed cell death is a highly regulated and fundamental process found in all multicellular organisms. It is not only implicated in regulatory mechanisms of cells, but has been attributed to a number of diseases, like inflammation, malignancy, autoimmunity and neuro-degeneration. A variability of pollutants can persuade apoptosis. Oncogenic transition metals like cadmium, promote apoptosis alongside DNA base modifications, strand breaks and rearrangements. Generation of reactive oxygen …
