A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ANTIMICROBIAL PROFILE HAVING BROAD SPECTRUM BACTERIOCINS AGAINST ANTIBIOTICS

  Bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides produced by microbes owned by different eubacterial taxonomic branches. Most of them are small cationic membrane-active compounds that form pores in the targeted cells, disrupting membrane possibilities, and triggering cell fatality. The availability of small cationic peptides with antimicrobial activity is a protection strategy found not only in bacteria but also in plants and animals. The antibiotics which have extensive applications in the treatment of various bacterial diseases have developed alarming resistance against them in many pathogens due to improper use besides this antibiotics have adverse side effects also. There are an extensive variety of bacteriocins made by different bacterial genera have promising alternative to antibiotics that needs to be further studied to show the no existence of undesirable effects, which must be performed both in vitro and in vivo experimental systems. Most of the bacteriocin have narrow spectrum of their activity and effective only on the related species. There is an urgent need for the identification of broad-spectrum bacteriocins isolated from the species from different habitats that can be effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens. In this review, we focus on the main physical and chemical characteristics of broad-spectrum bacteriocin and discuss their application as an alternative option to antibiotics

CLINICAL EVALUATION OF PANCHKOLAPHANT IN THE MANAGEMENT OF MANDAGNIJANYA STHAULYA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO OBESITY

Obesity is one among the major diseases of modern era, increasing in prevalence. The Word Health report of W.H.O. listed Obesity under 10 top selected risks to the health. Sthaulya (Obesity) is well known from the Samhita period and is considered to be one of the eight undesirable conditions (Ashta Nindita). It can be caused due to Mandagni as Agni is considered to be responsible for metabolism. Thus, Ama formed moves within body, further causing Medovruddhi, which produces excessive stoutness. According to modern science, one of the causes for obesity is sedentary lifestyle, where there is more intake of junk food and less physical activity. This also signifies in increased BMI, further leading to obesity. In order to treat this problem, 30 patients of Sthaulya were registered to evaluate Sthaulya management with Panchakola Phant. Panchakola Phant containing Shunthi, Pippali, Pippalimula, Chavya, Chitrak; being Katu Rasaatmak helps in digestion and removal of Ama from body and further helps in management of Meda Dhatu Dushti. Patients were assessed on the basis of signs and symptoms before starting the treatment and administered Panchakola Phant. Duration for treatment was 3 months and patients were regularly followed up after 1 month to evaluate the clinical effects of the trial drug

In silico and in vitro assessment on antidiabetic efficacy of secondary metabolites from Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels

India ranks high for prevalence of diabetes and the treatment of diabetes without any side effects is still challenging. Though herbal remedies help reduce the side effect, proper standardization of phytochemical which prove as a bioactive compound, its proper dose and clinical trials are lacking. In our investigation, we studied the binding mechanism of the secondary metabolites of Syzygium cumini, their in vitro antidiabetic activity and the number of phytochemicals present. In silico study revealed that ellagic acid has a potential to modulate the carbohydrate metabolizing enzyme activity showing higher affinity for the enzymes with much lesser binding energy, -4.73 kcal/mol for alpha amylase, -4.87 kcal/mol for beta-glucosidase, -4.79 kcal/mol for glycogen synthase kinase, -4.18 kcal/mol for glucokinase and -4.49 kcal/mol for alpha-glucosidase. In vitro-Alpha amylase inhibitory activity assay showed that ethanol extract has the highest value of percent inhibition (73.33%) as compared to standard drug Acarbose (65.99%). Finally, TLC analysis cleared that ethanol extract contains five compounds one of which may be a bioactive compound, ellagic acid. Further purification and characterization of the ellagic acid is needed

Personalized Health Reminders in the Voice of a Trusted Caregiver

Some health management applications and devices include functionality to help remind users to take their pills. However, such reminders often lack relevant detail, such as name and dosage of the specific medication. Further, no mechanisms exist for caregivers to access health-related information of consenting users, e.g., for children to access information of elderly parents, or to remind them of health-related tasks. This disclosure describes techniques that enable a user to receive health-related reminders based on photos of their medication. The notifications can use the voice of their preferred caregivers, such as their adult children. Suitable computer vision and machine learning techniques are utilized to generate such notifications. The application via which reminders are delivered is made available in many languages and with appropriate permissions, can automatically generate voice reminders in the voice of caregivers

Short Messaging Service (SMS) as Fallback for Seamless E-commerce Messaging

Slow and unreliable internet connectivity can affect the user experience of shopping via e-commerce applications, e.g., due to lack of reliable message exchange capabilities for buyers and sellers. This disclosure describes techniques that seamlessly combine internet and SMS based text messaging functionality within e-commerce solutions used by sellers and buyers to communicate for shopping-related purposes. If the seller or the buyer is in an area where internet connectivity is unavailable or unreliable, the message is automatically sent and received via SMS. With permission, messages received via SMS are automatically relayed to the appropriate e-commerce application on the receiving device and are displayed within the user interface (UI) similar to other messages in the communication. Implementation of the techniques with user permission can enhance the seamlessness of the communication between sellers and buyers, especially in regions that lack reliable high-speed internet connectivity

Impact of external magnetic field on temperature anisotropy driven Weibel instability in a magnetized plasma

In this paper, we investigate the impact of an external magnetic field on the Weibel instability driven by temperature anisotropy in a magnetized plasma. The study provides the influence of electron temperature anisotropy, considering both cold as well as warm ions. We derive expressions for the growth rate Γ (s−1) in each case to quantify the effect of some specific parameters on the instability. For example, the growth rate is plotted against the magnetic field for three distinct cases: considering only electrons, including cold ions, and incorporating warm ions. It is observed that the growth rate decreases as the applied magnetic field increases. Furthermore, the addition of both cold and warm ions to the plasma significantly influences the observed effects. It can be explained as follows: in the presence of cold ions, the growth rate is decreased with an increase in the wave number kz (cm−1). In addition, a decrease in the growth rate is observed with an increasing wave number in the case of warm ions. Therefore, it can be seen that the Weibel instability, propelled by thermal anisotropy, holds significant implications owing to its prevalence in both astrophysical and laboratory plasmas. The findings presented here are expected to contribute to the advancements in magnetic field generation and particle acceleration in various astrophysical phenomena, including gamma-ray bursts, relativistic collisionless shock fronts, radio supernovae, and pulsar winds
