In recent years, sensory polymers have evolved significantly, emerging as versatile and cost-effective materials valued for their flexibility and lightweight nature.These polymers have transformed into sophisticated, active systems capable of precise detection and interaction, driving innovation across various domains, including smart materials, bi
Determination of Keto-deoxy-d-manno-8-octanoic acid (KDO) from Lipopolysaccharide of Escherichia coli
2-Keto-3-deoxy-octonate (KDO) is an essential constituent of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) that forms the outermost leaflet of Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane.LPS is mainly composed of lipid A, O-antigen and a core oligosaccharide.Two molecules of KDO are present per one molecule of LPS.A proper level of LPS is required to maintain the outer memb
Effect of Moringa oleifera flower fortification on the nutritional quality and sensory properties of weaning food
Moringa oleifera is a nutrient rich plant that has the potential to combat malnutrition problems in Africa.This study aims to investigate the effect of fortification using Moringa oleifera flower powder on the sensory and proximate attributes of fermented yellow maize and millet blend (Ogi).The formulation was grouped into seven blends in ratio 100
Prospective study to assess the treatment modalities and fever defervescence in patients with scrub typhus from a tertiary care centre in South India
Background and objectives: Fever defervescence in scrub typhus, a zoonotic bacterial infection is used as a surrogate marker of disease resolution.Failure of fever defervescence prompts clinicians to suspect alternate diagnoses and treatment.In this observational study, various treatment regimens were correlated with clinical outcomes.Methods: All
