    Abstract The rebuilding of the normal functioning of the damaged human body bone tissue is one of the main objectives of bone tissue engineering (BTE). Fabricated scaffolds are mostly treated as artificial supports and as materials for regeneration of neo bone tissues and must closely biomimetic the native extracellular matrix of bone. The materials used for developing scaffolds should be biodegradable, nontoxic, and biocompatible. For the resurrection of bone disorder, specifically natural and synthetic polymers such as chitosan, PCL, gelatin, PGA, PLA, PLGA, etc. meet the requirements for serving their functions as artificial bone substitute materials. Gelatin is one of the potential candidates which could be blended with other polymers or composites to improve its physicochemical, mechanical, and biological performances as a bone graft. Scaffolds are produced by several methods including electrospinning, self-assembly, freeze-drying, phase separation, fiber drawing, template synthesis, etc. Among them, freeze-drying and electrospinning are among the popular, simplest, versatile, and cost-effective techniques. The design and preparation of freeze-dried and electrospun scaffolds are of intense research over the last two decades. Freeze-dried and electrospun scaffolds offer a distinctive architecture at the micro to nano range with desired porosity and pore interconnectivity for selective movement of small biomolecules and play its role as an appropriate matrix very similar to the natural bone extracellular matrix. This review focuses on the properties and functionalization of gelatin-based polymer and its composite in the form of bone scaffolds fabricated primarily using lyophilization and electrospinning technique and their applications in BTE.

    Abstract Introduction: From both medical and legal points of view, it is vital that computed tomography request forms should be adequately filled up. It is the responsibility of physicians to collect adequate clinical information that justifies the computed tomography examination and the ethical responsibility of radiological technologists and radiologists is to perform only the justified radiological examinations. Thus, a properly filled request form is crucial for understanding the clinical problem, using the proper protocol for avoiding unnecessary radiation exposure and providing concise radiological reports. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of inadequate completion of computed tomography request forms of patients visiting the Department of Radiology of a tertiary care centre.
    Methods: This descriptive study was performed in the Department of Radiology from 22 April 2021 to 21 April 2022 after receiving ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee. Computed tomography request forms from emergency, ward and outpatient Departments were used in the study whereas that from other hospitals and clinics were excluded. A convience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval.
    Results: Out of 470 computed tomography examination forms, the prevalence of inadequate computed tomography request forms was 195 (41.49%) (37.03-45.94, 95% Confidence Interval).
    Conclusions: The prevalence of the inadequacy of completion of computed tomography examination forms was higher than other similar studies done in similar settings.

    Abstract Asthma, is a chronic disease of the airways and is characterized by exacerbations of bronchospasm and noticeable airway inflammation. Current asthma therapy has emerged from naturally occurring compounds through rational pharmaceutical advancements, and it is very beneficial. In this review, we have discussed the different drug therapies i.e., Ayurvedic, Homeopathic, Unani, and Allopathic affecting asthma treatment. Allopathic medicines are used as a controller medication for regular maintenance of asthma i.e., long-acting β-agonists, inhaled corticosteroids, anti-leukotriene medicines, and novel biologic agents. Pharmacological research is more important in generating effective, long-lasting, and safe asthma treatments, but it has been difficult to produce new classes of anti-asthmatic therapies. A combination inhaler that contains a long-acting β2-agonist and a corticosteroid is currently the "gold standard" for treating asthma. Allopathic treatments for asthma have been proven effective in reducing the probability of asthma attacks and for improving symptoms along with lung functions as compared to other therapies. The level of asthma management and the possible risk of future worsening are used to determine the treatment's strategies. This review article describes the comparison of allopathic therapy of asthma with homeopathy, ayurvedic and Unani system and gives justification supported by a number of case studies for being allopathic, a better therapy when compared with others.

    Abstract Implementation of computational tools in the identification of novel drug targets for Tuberculosis (TB) has been a promising area of research. TB has been a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) localized primarily on the lungs and it has been one of the most successful pathogen in the history of mankind. Extensively arising drug resistivity in TB has made it a global challenge and need for new drugs has become utmost important.The involvement of Nucleoid-Associated Proteins (NAPs) in maintaining the structure of the genomic material and regulating various cellular processes like transcription, DNA replication, repair and recombination makes significant, has opened a new arena to find the drugs targeting Mtb. The current study aims to identify potential inhibitors of NAPs through a computational approach. In the present work we worked on the eight NAPs of Mtb, namely, Lsr2, EspR, HupB, HNS, NapA, mIHF and NapM. The structural modelling and analysis of these NAPs were carried out. Moreover, molecular interaction were checked and binding energy was identified for 2500 FDA-approved drugs that were selected for antagonist analysis to choose novel inhibitors targeting NAPs of Mtb. Drugs including Amikacin, streptomycin, kanamycin, and isoniazid along with eight FDA-approved molecules that were found to be potential novel targets for these mycobacterial NAPs and have an impact on their functions. The potentiality of several anti-tubercular drugs as therapeutic agents identified through computational modelling and simulation unlocks a new gateway for accomplishing the goal to treat TB.

    Abstract Spin-crossover solids have been studied for many years for their promising applications as optical switches and reversible high-density memories for information storage. This study reports the effect of random metal dilution on the thermal and structural properties of a spin-crossover single crystal. The analysis is performed on a 2D rectangular lattice using an electro-elastic model. The lattice is made of sites that can switch thermally between the low-spin and high-spin states, accompanied by local volume changes. The model is solved by Monte Carlo simulations, running on the spin states and atomic positions of this compressible 2D lattice. A detailed analysis of metal dilution on the magneto-structural properties allows us to address the following issues: (i) at low dilution rates, the transition is of the first order; (ii) increasing the concentration of dopant results in a decrease in cooperativity and leads to gradual transformations above a threshold concentration, while incomplete spin transitions are obtained for big dopant sizes. The effects of the metal dilution on the spatiotemporal aspects of the spin transition along the thermal transition and on the low-temperature relaxation of the photo-induced metastable high-spin states are also studied. Significant changes in the organization of the spin states are observed for the thermal transition, where the single-domain nucleation caused by the long-range elastic interactions is replaced by a multi-droplet nucleation. As to the issue of the relaxation curves: their shape transforms from a sigmoidal shape, characteristic of strong cooperative systems, into stretched exponentials for high dilution rates, which is the signature of a disordered system.

    Abstract The genus Paracoccus represents a taxonomically diverse group comprising more than 80 novel species isolated from various pristine and polluted environments. The species are characterized as coccoid-shaped Gram-negative bacteria with versatile metabolic attributes and classified as autotrophs, heterotrophs and/or methylotrophs. The present study highlights the up-to-date global taxonomic diversity and critically discusses the significance of genome analysis for identifying the genomic determinants related to functional attributes mainly bioplastic synthesis and biodegradation potential that makes these isolates commercially viable. The analysis accentuates polyphasic and genomic attributes of Paracoccus spp. which could be harnessed for commercial applications and emphasizes the need of integrating genome-based computational analysis for evolutionary species and functional diversification. The work reflects on the underexplored genetic potential for bioplastic synthesis which can be harnessed using advanced genomic methods. It also underlines the degradation potential and possible use of naturally-occurring pollutant-degrading Paracoccus isolates for the development of a biodegradation system and efficient removal of contaminants. The work contemplates plausible use of such potent isolates to establish the plant-microbe interaction, contributing toward contaminated land reclamation. Overall, the work signifies the need and application of genome analysis to identify and explore the prospective potential of Paracoccus spp. for environmental application toward achieving sustainability.

    Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide. The currently available Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine is not sufficient in protecting against pulmonary TB. Although many vaccines have been evaluated in clinical trials, but none of them yet has proven to be more successful. Thus, new strategies are urgently needed to design more effective TB vaccines. The emergence of new technologies will undoubtedly accelerate the process of vaccine development. This review summarizes the potential and validated applications of emerging technologies, including: systems biology (genomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics), genetic engineering, and other computational tools to discover and develop novel vaccines against TB. It also discussed that the significant implementation of these approaches will play crucial roles in the development of novel vaccines to cure and control TB.
