The present study investigates the seasonal diversity and conservation status of invertebrate fauna in Nirmal Lake, a freshwater ecosystem located in the suburban region of Mumbai, Maharashtra. A comprehensive survey was conducted across two stations during pre monsoon and post-monsoon periods to document the occurrence and abundance of molluscs, macrozoobenthic invertebrates, and aquatic insects.

Abstract: Background: Fracture-related infection (FRI) represents a significant post-traumatic complication, with diagnosis often hindered by its heterogeneous clinical presentation, and differentiating FRI from non-infectious conditions can be difficult. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the expression of immune markers CD64 and CD66b on monocytes and neutrophils in patients with FRI, focusing on postoperative changes.

TORCH infection complex comprises of infections caused by Toxoplasma gondii, Rubella virus, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Herpes simplex virus (types 1 and 2). Syphilis and hepatitis B, Human Immuno-deficiency virus and Zika virus are sometimes included in this group. These infections are associated with adverse fetal outcomes and reproductive failure in pregnant females.

A simple, precise, accurate sensitive and specific RP-HPLC method for the determination of Linezolid in pharmaceutical dosage form. Chromatogram was run through Sunfire C18 150 x 4.6 mm, 5m. Mobile phase containing 0.01N Potassium dihydrogen phosphate: Methanol taken in the ratio 65:35 was pumped through column at a flow rate of 1.2ml/min. Buffer used in this method was 0.01N Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (4.8ph) buffer. Temperature was maintained at 30°C. Optimized wavelength selected was 252.0nm. Retention time of Linezolid  was  found  to  be  2.469  min.

Regenerative dentistry is an emerging and interdisciplinary field that seeks to restore the structure and function of damaged dental tissues using principles derived from stem cell biology, tissue engineering, and molecular science. This review paper offers an in-depth overview of the development, ideas, and prospects of regenerative dentistry treatments. By integrating biologically driven approaches with clinical practice, regenerative dentistry offers promising alternatives to conventional dental treatments such as root canals, implants, and prosthetics.

The use of information technology (IT) in this twenty first century is rapidly gaining root in many industries including construction due to its numerous benefits. In the area of promoting communication, social media handles may be viewed as propelling factor and that this study zoomed into the proposition to establish whether social media handles could be explored as effective way to enhance communication in the construction industry.

Introduction: Humeral non-union, which can occur in conservatively treated fractures and surgically managed cases, presents significant challenges. Combining non- vascularized fibular autografts (NVFG) with locking compression plates (LCP) may offer a reliable method for achieving bone union and restoring function in such patients. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the functional outcomes of autologous NVFG and LCP for failed fixation of humeral shaft with atrophic gap non-union.

This study investigates the relationship between self-esteem and self-harm behaviours among Indian Population aged 13–50. Using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE) and the Self-Harm Inventory (SHI), data were collected from 78 participants. Results showed a significant negative correlation between self-esteem and self-harm (r = −0.611, p < 0.0001), with a stronger association observed among females (r = −0.644) than males (r = −0.476).

The present study on fish diversity on two different water bodies of Barpeta district of lower Assam, i.e -Borbeel and Kanakukurabeel was done from March, 2024 to Maerch, 2025. A total of 43 fish species which comprise28 genera, 15 families and 5 orders were recorded while36 fish species belong to the Borbeel and 37 fish species were from Kanakukurabeel.Cyprinidae family is the most dominant, which includes 15 species in both Borbeel and Kanakukurabeel.

Chlorpheniramine Maleate injection (CPM) is a first-generation H1 antihistamine widely utilized for the management of allergic disorders. Thevarious pharmacopoeias currently employ UV spectroscopy method to determine the interference of preservative with API. This method lacks in sensitivity, specificity and robustness, particularly in the formulations as they contain various preservatives such as Chlorbutol, phenol, phenyl mercuric nitrate and benzyl alcohol, which interferes with the analysis.
