Tendon attaches to bone across a specialized tissue called the enthesis. This tissue modulates the transfer of muscle forces between two materials, i.e. tendon and bone, with vastly different mechanical properties. The enthesis for many tendons consists of a mineralized graded fibrocartilage that develops postnatally, concurrent with epiphyseal mineralization. Although it is well described that...

The textile dyes are considered as major environmental problems. The dyes can be removed by various methods. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the adsorption rate of Reactive Red 198 (RR198) from aqueous solution by activated Azolla filiculoides. This was an empirical-lab study. The Azolla was used as an adsorbent to remove Reactive Red 198 dye. The effect of various parameters was invest...

In the present study, the biobleaching potential of white rot fungus Cordyceps militaris MTCC3936 was investigated. For preliminary screening, decolorization properties of C. militaris were comparatively studied using whole cells in agar-based and liquid culture systems. Preliminary investigation in liquid culture systems revealed 100% decolorization achieved within 3 days of incubation for rea...

The boreal biome contains the world’s largest number of lakes that are sensitive to anthropogenic acidification. Thousands of poorly buffered Canadian boreal lakes (Fig. 1) were acidified during the 20 century by acid deposition generated from industrial activity (1). Since 1970, some boreal lakes have shown chemical and biological recovery because of reductions in acidic sulfur oxide emissions...

Introduction and Aim: Early onset neonatal sepsis (EONS) is a preventable cause of mortality morbidity. Blood culture, the current gold standard has turn-around time 48 to 72 hours high false negatives. Thus, there need for reliable biomarkers its early detection. The present study aims find utility ratios derived from components complete blood count in detecting EONS. Materials Methods: labora...
