Abstract	An 89-year-old woman was admitted to hospital with a fall, general malaise and low oxygen saturations. She tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and commenced on standard therapy for COVID-19 pneumonia. She improved initially but reported ongoing dyspnoea exacerbated by position. Following investigations to rule out other causes, she was given a diagnosis of platypnoea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS). She was treated with gradual verticalization therapy with supplemental oxygen and subsequently discharged to an intermediate care bed (ICB).

Abstract	The pulverized manifestation of Pedalium murex seeds, excerpted by Soxhlets apparatus after treating with n-hexane. Oil sample was well scrutinized by EI-GC-MS, utilizing the full scan technique within mass ranges lies from 40-700 m/z. 73compounds were recognized among them, 63 compounds were identified and 10 were marked as unidentified (8, 22, 27, 43, 47, 61, 62, 64, 68 and 69). The method was executed by the conventional system of Mass spectroscopy and the data interpreted by considerable match factor ≥95 inspected by NIST library. Antidiabetic activity was carried out by Accu-Chek glucometer. Healthy albino mice were selected to perform antidiabetic activity of seed oil at 100mg/Kg and 200mg/Kg with a standard drug glibenclamide at 5mg/Kg. Antidiabetic activity was observed on 1st, 7th,14th, 21th,27th and 30th days. Statistical calculations and significant outcomes were obtained by One-way and Two-way analysis of variance, followed by Tuckey's test. The phytochemical n-hexadecanoic acid (19.53%) might be responsible for antidiabetic activity of the seed oil.

Abstract	The present study investigates the hydrolysis, microstructural profiling and utilization of guar gum (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) as a prebiotic in a yoghurt. Guar galactomannans (GG) was purified and partially depolymerized using an acid, alkali and enzyme to improve its characteristics and increase its utilization. The prebiotic potential of hydrolyzed guar gum was determined using Basel and supplemented media. Crude guar galactomannans (CGG), purified guar galactomannans (PGG), base hydrolyzed guar galactomannans (BHGG), acid hydrolyzed guar galactomannans (AHGG) and enzymatic hydrolyzed guar galactomannans (EHGG) were analyzed using scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Yoghurt was prepared with a starter culture and incorporating guar gum, its hydrolyzed forms (0.1, 0.5 and 1%) and Bifidobacterium bifidum. The results showed that PHGG significantly improved the viability of B. bifidum. SEM revealed a significant change in the surface morphology of guar gum after acidic and enzymatic hydrolysis. Enzymatic hydrolysis developed a well-defined framework within guar gum molecules. The XRD pattern of CGG, PGG and AHGG presented an amorphous structure and showed low overall crystallinity while EHGG and BHGG resulted in slightly increased crystallinity regions. FTIR spectral analysis suggested that, after hydrolysis, there was no major transformation of functional groups. The addition of the probiotic and prebiotic significantly improved the physiochemical properties of the developed yoghurt. The firmness, cohesiveness, adhesiveness and syneresis were increased while consistency and viscosity were decreased during storage. In sum, a partial hydrolysis of guar gum could be achieved using inexpensive methods with commercial significance.

Abstract	β-wollastonite (βW) has sparked much interest in bone defect recovery and regeneration. Biomaterial-associated infections and reactions between implants with human cells have become a standard clinical concern. In this study, a green synthesized βW, synthesized from rice husk ash and a calcined limestone precursor, was incorporated with mullite, maghemite, and silver to produce β wollastonite composite (βWMAF) to enhance the tensile strength and antibacterial properties. The addition of mullite to the βWMAF increased the tensile strength compared to βW. In vitro bioactivity, antibacterial efficacy, and physicochemical properties of the β-wollastonite and βWMAF were characterized. βW and βWMAF samples formed apatite spherules when immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 1 day. In conclusion, βWMAF, according to the tensile strength, bioactivity, and antibacterial activity, was observed in this research and appropriate for the reconstruction of cancellous bone defects.

Abstract	Watermelon, a widely commercialized fruit, is famous for its thirst-quenching property. The broad range of cultivars, which give rise to distinct color and taste, can be attributed to the differences in their chemical profile, especially that of the carotenoids and volatile compounds. In order to understand this distribution properly, water extracts of red and yellow watermelon pulps with predominantly polar metabolites were subjected to proton nuclear magnetic resonance (

Abstract	The aim of this study was to prepare β-wollastonite using a green synthesis method (autoclaving technique) without organic solvents and to study its bioactivity. To prepare β-wollastonite, the precursor ratio of CaO:SiO₂ was set at 55:45. This mixture was autoclaved for 8 h and later sintered at 950 °C for 2 h. The chemical composition of the precursors was studied using X-ray fluorescence (XRF), in which rice husk ash consists of 89.5 wt % of SiO₂ in a cristobalite phase and calcined limestone contains 97.2 wt % of CaO. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns after sintering showed that only β-wollastonite was detected as the single phase. To study its bioactivity and degradation properties, β-wollastonite samples were immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) for various periods of time. Throughout the soaking period, the molar ratio of Ca/P obtained was in the range of 1.19 to 2.24, and the phase detected was amorphous calcium phosphate, which was confirmed by scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM/EDX) and XRD. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis indicated that the peaks of the calcium and phosphate ions increased when an amorphous calcium phosphate layer was formed on the surface of the β-wollastonite sample. A cell viability and proliferation assay test was performed on the rice husk ash, calcined limestone, and β-wollastonite samples by scanning electron microscope. For heavy metal element evaluation, a metal panel that included As, Cd, Pb, and Hg was selected, and both precursor and β-wollastonite fulfilled the requirement of an American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM F1538-03) standard specification. Apart from that, a degradation test showed that the loss of mass increased incrementally as a function of soaking period. These results showed that the β-wollastonite materials produced from rice husk ash and limestone possessed good bioactivity, offering potential for biomedical applications.

Abstract	Watermelon, a widely commercialized fruit, is famous for its thirst-quenching property. The broad range of cultivars, which give rise to distinct color and taste, can be attributed to the differences in their chemical profile, especially that of the carotenoids and volatile compounds. In order to understand this distribution properly, water extracts of red and yellow watermelon pulps with predominantly polar metabolites were subjected to proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H-NMR) analysis. Deuterium oxide (D 2 O) and deuterated chloroform (CDCl 3 ) solvents were used to capture both polar and non-polar metabolites from the same sample. Thirty-six metabolites, of which six are carotenoids, were identified from the extracts. The clustering of the compounds was determined using unsupervised principal component analysis (PCA) and further grouping was achieved using supervised orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). The presence of lycopene, β -carotene, lutein, and prolycopene in the red watermelon plays an important role in its differentiation from the yellow cultivar. A marked difference in metabolite distribution was observed between the NMR solvents used as evidenced from the PCA model. OPLS-DA and relative quantification of the metabolites, on the other hand, helped in uncovering the discriminating metabolites of the red and yellow watermelon cultivars from the same solvent system.

Abstract	Helichrysum stoechas has been conventionally used as herbal tea due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial and diuretic activities. Ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of the plant (HSE) afforded a lanostane triterpenoid glycoside. The isolated compound was characterized as Lanostan-3β-olyl-26-oic acid 3-O-α-D-glycopyranoside (HS-01) with the help of UV, IR, 1H, 13C NMR and MS spectroscopic techniques. HSE (at 100 and 200 mg/kg doses) and the isolated compound, HS-01 (at 10 mg/kg dose) has been investigated for anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities against chemically challenged experimental animal. Both the HSE as well as HS-01 showed a substantial decline in paw volume when compared with the relevant control groups (p < 0.01 & p < 0.001). The HSE and HS-01 also confirms a significant prolongation of the paw licking or jumping towards the Eddy’s hot plate and reduction in quantity of writhes after the introduction of acetic acid in mice (p < 0.01 & p < 0.001). In order to have a better understanding of the binding interactions of HS-01 at molecular level, docking studies were performed with various macromolecular drug targets using AutoDock 4.2 and AutoDock Vina 1.1. Both programs predicted Galectin-3 as most favorable target for HS-01 followed by iNOS, whereas TNFα and COX-2 were among less favorable. Therefore, HS-01 could be developed as suitable therapy against inflammation and associated disorders.

Abstract	Newly synthesized benzimidazole hydrazone derivatives 1-26 were evaluated for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Compounds 1-26 exhibited varying degrees of yeast α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 values between 8.40 ± 0.76 and 179.71 ± 1.11 μM when compared with standard acarbose. In this assay, seven compounds that showed highest inhibitory effects than the rest of benzimidazole series were identified. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by different spectroscopic methods adequately. We further evaluated the interaction of the active compounds with enzyme with the help of docking studies.
