Transcriptomic Approaches for Studying Quorum Sensing in Vibrio cholerae
Transcriptome analysis using RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) has now become the standard approach to determine the transcriptional output of an organism. Various modifications to this technology have been developed over the years, usually aiming to improve the annotation of transcript borders, or to identify novel classes of RNAs, such as small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) and antisense transcripts. RNA-seq has also led to the identification of dozens of new sRNAs in the major human pathogen, Vibrio cholerae. Several of these sRNAs function in the context of a cell-to-cell communication process, called quorum sensing (QS). QS is key for pathogenicity and biofilm formation of V. cholerae and the sRNAs involved typically act by base pairing with multiple target mRNAs to control gene expression at the posttranscriptional level. In this chapter, we describe the use of RNA-seq technologies for the discovery and characterization of regulatory RNAs in V. cholerae and discuss their relevance to QS and collective functions, such as biofilm formation. We further outline possible methods for the identification and validation of sRNA target genes, which can provide crucial information as to the physiological roles of an sRNA

Study of Electrocardiographic Abnormalities in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and its Correlation With Severity
Introduction: The current study aimed to identify the electrocardiographic (ECG) changes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and their correlation to severity. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on 100 patients with COPD with expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1)20 pack-years, being more common in males in their 5th decade of life. Moreover, low FEV1 values were associated with ECG abnormalities. As the duration/severity of the disease rises, ECG abnormalities become more common. To avoid cardiac mortality and morbidity, all COPD patients should undergo cardiac examination through ECG for the management of co-morbidities

Background: Six minute walk test ( 6 MWT) is an
inexpensive, reliable and repeatable test for the functional
assessment of subjects with chronic respiratory diseases.
Aims and Objectives: 1. To estimate the distance
travelled on 6 MWT (6 MWD) by patients with chronic
respiratory diseases. 2. To find any correlation between
symptoms and 6 MWD in subjects with chronic respiratory
diseases.3. To find any correlation between spirometry based
functional grading and 6 MWD in chronic respiratory disease
subjects.
Materials & Methods: A total of forty two subjects were
taken into the study who were having chronic respiratory
diseases like COPD, Bronchiectasis, Tubercular fibrosis,
Bronchial asthma, Diffuse parenchymal lung diseases etc.All
the subjects underwent physical, radiological, spirometry and
6 MWT . Subjects were classified according to the grading on
breathlessness, spirometry and performance on 6 MWT.
Results: Significant correlation was obtained when
spirometry based functional grading was compared with
impairment on 6 MWT. Significant correlation was also
observed when grading of breathlessness was compared with
performance on 6 MWT.
Conclusion: Study results correlated with other studies.
This is a first study which evaluated 6 MWT in different diseases
chronically affecting the respiratory system
