Introduction: Human Galectin-3 is a 32- to 35-kDa size lectin, mainly comprises a C-terminal carbohydrate recognition binding domain (CRD) and N-terminal domain. It acts as a powerful pro-inflammatory signalling factor, which plays an important role in the activation, chemotaxis, and cytokine release of inflammatory cells. Galectin-3 has also been...

Background: Mucormycosis is a life-threatening fungal disease in immunocompromised patients. There has been increase in the number of mucormycosis associated with COVID-19 patients in second wave. Now country battle with both COVID-19 and mucormycosis. An invasive mucormycosis infection has been a significant burden in India after COVID-19. It has...

Aim: Type-2 DM patients are susceptible for various types of infections. Long standing Type2 DM patients have strong predilection for tuberculosis as seen in various studies. Here, we aimed to study susceptibility of tuberculosis as compared to other non tuberculous pneumonia in type-2 DM on the basis of CD markers. Material and methods: A case...

Rearing hematophagous amblyceran lice in vitro is a challenging task. The hematophagous nature and active habits of amblycerans are distinct hurdles to in vitro rearing. The literature indicates only limited success in rearing the hematophagous amblyceran avian louse. Herein we report on the results of in vitro experimentation on an amblyceran pige...

Objectives: Individual with diabetes may have several from of Dyslipidemia. Dyslipidemia has been considered to be factor that plays a risk in progression of micro vascular disease, especially in diabetes.1 The present study is intended to Study of correlation between Apolipoprotein B and Dyslipidemia in type 2 diabetes patients and prevalence of...

The morphological features of three instars of nymphs and adults of Columbicola bacillus (Ischnocera: Phthiraptera) collected from Collard-dove Streptopelia decaocto were studied. Present report furnishes Second instar nymph can be separated from first instar due to appearance of additional seta on pterothorax on seventh to eight adominal segments....

The present report furnishes information on the morphological features of specimens of Coloceros species collected from Collared-dove Streptopelia decaocto in district Rampur. Three nymphal instars of Coloceros sp. can be differentiated by the number of setae present on the postero-lateral angles of pterothorax and abdominal segment six to ninth in...

Diabetes mellitus a disease with various macro and micro vascular complications due to its various metabolic dysregulations, is well known to involve lungs in long run in both type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus, causing tremendous burden on health care system.

Background: Dengue is one of the most important mosquito-borne viral disease globally. The virus is the member of flavivirus group which typically is a single stranded RNA virus. It is 2nd most common arthropod borne disease in India. Due to its atypical presentation often, dengue missed out as a differential diagnosis. High clinical suspicion and...

Selected haemetophagous phthirapterans have been convicted to act as reservoir and transmitter of pathogens among their hosts. Amblyceran Phthiraptera are generally believed to exhibit varying degree of haemetophagy. The microscopic examination of 100 adults (both sexes) and 47 nymphal instars of an amblyceran louse, Colpocephalum turbinatum reveal...

A 32-year-old non-alcoholic female was admitted with complaints of severe abdominal pain and was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis after blood investigations and USG of the abdomen. She had fever on the initial two days of admission, and serology tested positive for dengue. Treatment for dengue was instituted, leading to a good response and complet...

Background: Dengue is a major international health concern that is prevalent in tropical and sub-tropical countries. It is 2nd most common arthropod borne disease in India. There are certain clinical features that are associated with Dengue in addition of the classical features. Previously organ impairment has been only considered under set up of s...

An analysis of the crop contents of the poultry shaft louse, Menopon gallina indicates that 67 % of adult males and 72 % of the adult females examined carried red content compatible to host blood, along with feather barbules. The percentage of nymphal instars carrying red content in the crop was quite low. On the basis of crop contents the louse do...
