    Abstract Curcumin is one of the important naturally occurring compounds having several medicinal properties such as: antiviral, antioxidant, antifibrotic, antineoplastic as well as anti-inflammatory. SARS-CoV-2 has emerged as infectious virus, which severely infected a large number of people all over the world. Many efforts have been made to prepare novel antiviral compound, but it is still challenging. Naturally occurring compound, curcumin, can be used as an alternative to antiviral compound against SARS-CoV-2. Its effect against SARS-CoV-2 is already highlighted in the literature. But the quantitative study of its interaction with various precursors of SARS-CoV-2 is not reported till date. This paper reports the interaction of curcumin with angiotensin-converting enzyme2, transmembrane serine protease 2, 3-chymotrypsin-like protease and papain-like protease through molecular docking and quantum chemistry calculations to achieve quantitative understanding of underlying interactions. Here the conformational flexibility of curcumin is also highlighted, which helps it to accommodate in the four different docking sites. The study has been performed using calculations of geometrical parameter, atomic charge, electron density, Laplacian of electron density, dipole moment and the energy gap between highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals. The non- -covalent interaction (NCI) analysis is performed to visualize the weak interaction present in the active sites. Combinedly molecular docking and detailed quantum chemistry calculations revealed that curcumin can be adopted as a potential multiple-target inhibitor against SARS-CoV-2.

    Abstract Objective: Diabetes prevalence has been predicted to reach 578 million worldwide in 2030 and is estimated to increase by 51% (700 million) in 2045. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is frequently associated with various cardiovascular (CV) risk factors secondary to associated dyslipidemias and good glycemic control is key for the prevention of long-term CV complications; this study was conducted to assess present glycemic status and lipid profile of the population residing in a rural tribal locality of Jharkhand (India).
    Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted as a project for Fellowship in diabetes course by the Department of Endocrinology, DEDU, CMC Vellore. Whole blood and sera were analyzed for fasting blood sugar (FBS), glycated-hemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol (CH), triglycerides (TGs), high-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), and very-low-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol (VLDL-C). A correlation test of HbA1c with lipid ratios and individual lipid indexes was done.
    Results: The mean Hb1Ac level was uncontrolled as 7.24 ± 1.80 and, interestingly, was marginally higher [7.31 ± 1.92 Vs 6.92 ± 1.16] in patients with T2DM <5 years as compared to those with T2DM >5 years. Mixed dyslipidemias were common with abnormal TG, LDL, VLDL, HDL, and total CH values. Hb1Ac levels showed a significant positive correlation with serum CH, TG, LDL, and VLDL levels, while a significant negative correlation with HDL levels in the study.
    Conclusion: Apart from being a reliable indicator of long-term glycemic control, HbA1c can also be used as a surrogate marker of dyslipidemia, and thus early diagnosis and treatment of dyslipidemia can prevent life-threatening cardiovascular complications that can be particularly useful in resource-poor rural tribal locality settings.

    Abstract The current work is related to the numerical investigation of non-Fourier heat transfer inside the short-pulsed laser-irradiated axisymmetric soft tissue phantom. It utilizes the modified discrete ordinate method to solve the transient radiative transfer equation (TRTE) for determining the intensity field. The laser energy absorbed by the soft tissue phantom behaves like a source in the Fourier/non-Fourier heat conduction model based-bio-heat transfer equation (BHTE), which is solved by employing the finite volume method (FVM) to determine the temperature distribution. Despite the prevalent use of non-Fourier BHTE for this purpose, a second law analysis is considered crucial to detect any potential anomalies. Equilibrium entropy production rates (EPR) are initially computed based on classical irreversible thermodynamics (CIT), which may yield negative values, possibly contravening the second law. Consequently, the EPR based on CIT is adjusted using the extended irreversible thermodynamics (EIT) hypothesis to ensure positivity. After that, the current research findings are compared with the results from the literature, and found good agreement between them. Then, the independent study is performed to select the optimum grid size, control angle size, and time step. A comparative analysis of results between the traditional Fourier and non-Fourier models has been performed. The impact of different parameters on the temperature fields and EPRs, is discussed. The effect of the optical properties of the inhomogeneity on the temperature distribution has been investigated. This study may help to enhance the effectiveness of the laser-based photo-thermal therapy.

    Abstract In this paper, the lifetime of coronavirus infected droplets under a stick-slip evaporation mode has been investigated, which may play a pivotal role in reducing the spread of COVID-19 infection. It is showed that the survival time of the virus can be reduced by increasing the receding contact angle or by reducing the initial contact angle of a drop deposited on a solid surface. It has been found that the lifetime of the virus increases almost five times under highly humid conditions as compared to dry conditions. It is further observed that the normalized lifetime does not depend upon thermo-physical properties, ambient temperature, relative humidity, and initial drop volume. A model has been proposed to estimate the shear stress acting on a virus taking into account the effect of a Marangoni flow. The presented model unveils that the magnitude of computed shear stress is not enough to obliterate the virus. The findings of the present model have been discussed in the context of reducing the COVID-19 infection, but the model can also be applied for coughed/sneezed droplets of other infectious diseases. Moreover, this physical understanding of evaporation dynamics on solid surfaces with a stick-slip mode may help in better design of a face mask, PPE kit, and other protective equipment used in public places in order to minimize the chances of infection and tackle the current pandemic. However, the reported model for estimating the survival time of the virus does not consider the effect of the thermo-capillary convection (the Marangoni effect).
