    Abstract Understanding how a gene variant may influence antifungal resistance, or other phenotypic characteristics, is an important step in determining or dissecting resistance mechanisms. The influence of specific genes or gene alleles on a phenotype can initially be assessed within the model organism, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. S. cerevisiae exhibits efficient rates of homologous recombination making it amendable for heterologous expression and represents a susceptible organism that can be used to determine changes in antifungal susceptibilities. Many groups have developed different methodologies for the cloning, expression, and screening processes. In this chapter, we present straightforward methodology that utilizes gap-repair cloning to express a plasmid-borne copy of Candida auris ERG11 within S. cerevisiae. Multiple alleles can be compared in order to determine how specific alterations influence triazole susceptibility. Primer design, gap-repair co-transformation, and colony PCR screening are detailed.

    Abstract The indispensable collaboration of cloud computing in every digital service has raised its resource usage exponentially. The ever-growing demand of cloud resources evades service availability leading to critical challenges such as cloud outages, SLA violation, and excessive power consumption. Previous approaches have addressed this problem by utilizing multiple cloud platforms or running multiple replicas of a Virtual Machine (VM) resulting into high operational cost. This paper has addressed this alarming problem from a different perspective by proposing a novel

    Abstract Background: Many previous studies have shown that patients admitted to the hospital at weekends have a longer delay than those on weekdays. It has been proposed that the equality of specialist services throughout the week could mitigate the 'weekend effect.' This study aimed to determine whether or not a weekend effect is observed in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery patients at a medical college and teaching hospital.
    Methods: Our primary predictor variable was the day of admission. Our primary outcome of interest was the length of hospital stay from admission to operation. Descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, One way ANOVA, and post hoc comparison were performed for statistical analysis.
    Results: Out of 1185, 1005 (84.8%) were male and 180 (15.2%) female, with a mean age of 30.3 (SD=14.1) years. There was a significantly higher admission on weekends, Friday, and Saturday, and the weekend admissions were associated with a longer delay from admission to operation. The night shift was also associated with a longer delay from admission to operation. The diagnosis based procedure had the most significant effect on delay from admission to operation. The patient's age and gender had no association with the primary outcome.
    Conclusions: There is a delay in the definitive treatment of maxillofacial surgery patients admitted on weekends. These findings have implications for adequate staffing and resource allocation on the weekends based on admission volume.

    Abstract Conventional chemotherapies for medulloblastoma are restricted to only proliferative population leaving the cancer stem cells unscathed. This shortcoming of the traditional therapies is attributed to the relapse and metastasis of the cancer. The current research is entirely focused on the screening of therapeutic agents that can restrict and target the self-renewal potential of the cancer stem cells. The advances in drug screening strategies have led to high-throughput screening which provide a robust and expeditious platform to screen potential compounds against cancer stem cells. In this book chapter, we describe two in vitro assays that are routinely used to measure the cell killing and anti-self-renewal activity of the compounds against the cancer stem cells. Combining these assays with high-throughput screening offers a rapid, reliable, and inexpensive approach to screen potential compounds against cancer stem cells and to overcome the limitation of conventional chemotherapeutic agents.

    Abstract COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the complications of secondary fungal infections that occurred globally in severe cases of coronavirus disease managed in the intensive care units. Furthermore, varied underlying host factors, such as preexisting immunosuppression, the use of immunomodulatory agents, and invasive procedures predisposing lung tissues to fungal colonization and proliferation, caused increased susceptibility to fungal infections in COVID-19 patient populations. These invasive fungal infections directly impact the overall length of hospitalization and mortality. The most commonly reported fungal infections in patients with COVID-19 include aspergillosis, invasive candidiasis, and mucormycosis. An overall worldwide increase in the prevalence of candidiasis and aspergillosis was observed in COVID-19 patients , whereas outbreaks of mucormycosis were mainly recorded from India. Diagnostic challenges and limited antifungal treatment options make secondary fungal infections among COVID-19 patients more burdensome, which results in improper management and increased mortality.

    Abstract Monkeypox virus (MPXV) outbreak in non-endemic countries is a worldwide public health emergency. An enveloped double-stranded DNA virus belongs to the genus Orth poxvirus. A viral zoonotic infection known as monkeypox has been a serious risk to public health, especially in Africa. However, it has recently spread to other continents, so it might soon become a worldwide problem. There is an increased risk of transmission of the virus because there is a lack of effective treatment that cures the disease. To stop the multi-country outbreak from spreading, it is important to discover effective medications urgently. The objective of the current study is to swiftly find new treatments for the monkeypox virus using advanced computational approaches. By investigating five potential MPXV targets (DNA ligase, Palmytilated Extracellular Enveloped Virus (EEV) membrane protein, Scaffold protein D13, Thymidylate Kinase, and Viral core cysteine proteinase), this research was carried out using cutting-edge computational techniques against human monkeypox virus infection. Here we present the accurate 3D structures and their binding cavities of the selected targets with higher confidence using AlphaFold 2 and SiteMap analysis. Molecular docking and MD simulation analysis revealed the top five potential lead compounds with higher binding affinity and stability toward selected targets. Binding free energy calculations and other essential dynamics analysis supports the finding. The selected lead compounds utilizing virtual screening and drug repurposing approach reported in this study are beneficial for medical scientists and experimental biologists in drug development for the treatment of human MPXV.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

    Abstract Dynamic wetting by liquids on solid surfaces depends on several aspects such as surface energy, roughness, and interfacial tension, among many others. Copper (Cu), gold (Au), aluminum (Al), and silicon (Si) are a few of the most important metals that are used extensively as substrates in various industrial and biomedical applications. Metals are etched frequently on different crystal planes for fabrication purposes. Etching exposes distinct crystal planes that may come in contact with the liquids when used for different applications. The interaction of the crystal planes with the liquid that comes in contact with the solid dictates the wetting behavior of the surface. This necessitates the importance of understanding how various crystal planes of the same metals behave under similar conditions. Herein, three specific crystal planes, namely, (1 0 0), (1 1 0), and (1 1 1), are investigated at a molecular scale for the above-mentioned metals. The dynamic contact angle and contact diameter trends revealed that the relatively hydrophobic surfaces (Cu, Si) tend to reach their equilibrium contact angle faster compared to the hydrophilic substrates (Al, Au). Molecular kinetic theory is used to estimate the three-phase contact line friction which is found to be higher for (1 1 1) planes. Further, a consistent potential energy distribution variation is observed for the crystal lattice of (1 0 0), (1 1 0), and (1 1 1). These findings can be used as a guideline to determine the factors needed to completely describe a dynamic wetting phenomenon of the droplet over the different crystal planes. The understanding will be of great use in deciding experimental strategies where fabricated different crystal planes would be required to have a liquid contact.

    Abstract Agro-based wastes contain significant quantities of cellulosic materials from which nanocellulose can be extracted using various physical, biological, and chemical methods. These agro-wastes are termed lignocellulosic biomass as they contain cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose in abundance. Nanocellulose has its dimensions in nanoscale with excellent and distinctive attributes that attract researchers. Nanocellulose matrices are broadly categorised as nanocellulose crystals, nanocellulose fibrils and bacterial nanocellulose. Nanocellulose possesses some extremely significant properties, including biodegradability and biocompatibility, high aspect ratio, better mechanical attributes, easy surface modification, crystallinity, non-toxic nature, and water absorption capacity, making it a perfect material for a wide range of applications. The presence of hydroxyl groups on the surface of nanocellulose helps in its easier surface modification by various processes like carboxylation, silylation, esterification, amidation and etherification, which further allows its application as functional material. This review encompasses a brief discussion of the pre-treatments of lignocellulosic biomass, the different isolation processes of nanocellulose and the surface modification done to improve dispersibility in the polymer matrix. In this review, the different applications of nanocellulose in food industries, in biomedical and pharmaceutical fields, and their safety issues and toxicity to humans and the environment have also been briefly discussed.
