    Abstract Background: Hand hygiene protocols, if followed stringently reduce the possibility of the spread of infection from healthcare workers (HCWs) to patients, to almost 99%. However, in actual practice, compliance of these protocols is poor. Aims: (1) To observe the practice of hand hygiene among HCWs and (2) assess knowledge and awareness regarding hand hygiene protocol and identify the factors hampering its effective practice. Prospective observational study at an multispeciality hospital. Patients and Methods: Consultants, junior doctors, nursing in-charges and nurses and ancillary staff like ward attendants, ward secretaries, housekeeping staff and lift operators were (1) Observed during their hand hygiene practice and (2) 200 of these HCWs were provided a written questionnaire, in order to assess their depth of hand hygiene knowledge. Data were studied and analysed. Results: Female HCWs, right from consultants to ward attendants and ancillary workers showed better knowledge and compliance with hand hygiene practices. The junior nurses, interns and junior residents were more compliant with hand hygiene procedures in comparison to consultants and in-charge nurses. Hand hygiene compliance was poor in outpatient department, particularly on days with heavy workloads. Lack of knowledge regarding hand hygiene was observed amongst ancillary staff. Conclusions: The study emphasised stringent compliance and constant re-enforcement of protocol of correct hand hygiene practice amongst HCWs including ancillary staff.

    Abstract The recent increase in fungal infections is a health crisis. This surge is directly tied to the increase in immunocompromised people caused by changes in medical practice, such as the use of harsh chemotherapy and immunosuppressive medicines. Immunosuppressive disorders such as HIV have exacerbated the situation dramatically. Subcutaneous or superficial fungal infections can harm the skin, keratinous tissues, and mucous membranes. This category includes some of the most common skin disorders that impact millions of people worldwide. Despite the fact that they are seldom fatal, they can have a catastrophic impact on a person's quality of life and, in rare situations, spread to other people or become obtrusive. The majority of fungal infections under the skin and on the surface are simply and quickly cured. An opportunistic organism that preys on a weak host or a natural intruder can both result in systemic fungal infections. Furthermore, it might be exceedingly lethal and dangerous to one's life. Dimorphic fungi may pose a hazard to healthy populations that are not exposed to endemic fungi. Increased surveillance, the availability of quick, noninvasive diagnostic tests, monitoring the emergence of antifungal medication resistance, and research on the pathophysiology, prevention, and management of fungal infections are just a few potential solutions to these new health problems. The goal of this review is to summarize the data available for fungal infections and the different therapies which are involved in their treatment. Additionally, it also summarizes the molecular and scientific data of the plants which contain anti-fungal activity. Data are acquired using Google, PubMed, Scholar, and other online sources.

    Abstract Objective: In this report, we discuss the case of a patient with minimally conscious state (MCS) whose clinical condition significantly improved after Zolpidem therapy. We aim to provide supportive evidence for inclusion of zolpidem trials in patients with MCS.
    Methods: Our team used electronic medical records, direct patient care experiences, and literature review to obtain information for this case report.
    Results: Twice daily zolpidem therapy led to significant clinical improvement in our patient with MCS. In addition, this improvement was maintained throughout an increasingly arduous medical course.
    Conclusions: Minimally conscious state is a disorder with limited proven therapeutic options. Zolpidem administration has demonstrated immense benefit in a select population of patients, including ours. Given the potential for great improvement with limited downside, zolpidem trial presents an intriguing treatment option. Further clarification of prognostic features to stratify responders and nonresponders to therapy is needed.

    Abstract Purpose: The G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) family, implicated in neurological disorders and drug targets, includes the sensitive serotonin receptor subtype, 5-HT2B. The influence of sodium ions on ligand binding at the receptor's allosteric region is being increasingly studied for its impact on receptor structure.
    Methods: High-throughput virtual screening of three libraries, specifically the Asinex-GPCR library, which contains 8,532 compounds and FDA-approved (2466 compounds) and investigational compounds (2731)) against the modeled receptor [4IB4-5HT
    Results: This compound displayed strong interactions with the conserved active site. Ions influence ligand binding, with stronger interactions (3-H-bonds and 1-π-bond around 3.35 Å) observed when an agonist and ions are present. Ions entry is guided by conserved motifs in helices III, IV, and VII, which regulate the receptor. Dihydroergotamine, the selected drug, showed binding variance based on ions presence/absence, affecting amino acid residues in these motifs. DCCM and PCA confirmed the stabilization of ligands, with a greater correlation (∼46.6%-PC1) observed with ions. Dihydroergotamine-modified interaction sites within the receptor necessary for activation, serving as a potential 5HT
    Conclusion: Our study provides insights into sodium ion mobility's role in controlling ligand binding affinity in 5HT

    Abstract Nanozymes, nanomaterials with enzyme-mimicking activity, have attracted tremendous interest in recent years owing to their ability to replace natural enzymes in various biomedical applications, such as biosensing, therapeutics, drug delivery, and bioimaging. In particular, the nanozymes capable of regulating the cellular redox status by mimicking the antioxidant enzymes in mammalian cells are of great therapeutic significance in oxidative-stress-mediated disorders. As the distinction of physiological oxidative stress (oxidative eustress) and pathological oxidative stress (oxidative distress) occurs at a fine borderline, it is a great challenge to design nanozymes that can differentially sense the two extremes in cells, tissues and organs and mediate appropriate redox chemical reactions. In this Review, we summarize the advances in the development of redox-active nanozymes and their biomedical applications. We primarily highlight the therapeutic significance of the antioxidant and prooxidant nanozymes in various disease model systems, such as cancer, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular diseases. The future perspectives of this emerging area of research and the challenges associated with the biomedical applications of nanozymes are described.
