Antibiotic Resistance: A Threat and Challenge to Society
Dhawale, Amruta
Rath, Archana
In the past decade there has been a phenomenal rise in the emergence of antibiotic resistant pathogens forcing global agencies like the World Health Organization to take cognisance of the issue. Antibiotic resistance and evolution of resistant pathogens untreatable by a wide class of antibiotics is a real concern for human health and well-being. The present review gives a brief history of antibiotic evolution, discusses the reasons for development of antibiotic resistance and focusses on current development in the research to counteract it.

Microbial contributions to Global climate changes in soil environments: Impact on Carbon cycle (Short Review)
Joshi, Pradnya A
Shekhawat, Dhiraj B
Microorganisms play important role in recycling the elements, like carbon, nitrogen in nature. There is considerable interest in understanding the biological mechanism that regulates carbon exchanges between the land, water and atmosphere, and how these exchanges respond to climate change. An understanding of soil microbial ecology to assess terrestrial carbon cycle climate play important role for balanced ecosystem. The complexity of the soil microbial community and the many ways that it can be affected by climate and other global changes hampers the metabolic activity of organisms in different ways. This paper relates to understand the potential negative and positive contributions of soil microbes to land atmosphere carbon exchange and global warming requires explicit consideration of both direct and indirect impacts of climate change on microorganisms. Global climate changes definitely influence the factors like temperature, moisture, C:N ratio of the soil environment and in turn the types and density of heterotropic microorganisms. Moreover, this requires consideration of complex interactions and feedbacks that occur between microbes, plants and their physical environment in the context of climate change, and the influence of other global changes which have the capacity to amplify climate- driven effects on soil microbes. Overall, we emphasize the urgent need for greater understanding of how soil microbial ecology contribute to land-atmosphere carbon exchange in the context of climate change, and identify some challenges for the future. In particular, we highlight the need for a multifactor experimental approach to understand how soil microbes and their activities respond to climate change and consequences for carbon cycle feedbacks.

Kaur, Anudeep
Kaur, Ravinder
Kaur, Ramandeep
Determination of Amphotericin B in biological samples is of great importance, not only in clinical and forensic toxicology, but also in drug testing and pharmacokinetic profile. Human biological samples including organs, tissues, biofluids such as blood and their derivatives, are increasingly important resources for biomedical research. They can help us to understand how a diagnosis can be carried out, categorized and treatment can be further imitated for a whole variety of medical condition and are particularly important when studying pharmacokinetic profile of drugs in animal models. This review paper is a compilation of last 60 years research articles from 1954 to 2013 that describe procedures for the detection of Amphotericin B, in enormous variety of biological samples. The efficient analytical techniques assigned for accurately analyzing and quantifying drug in biological samples are HPLC and LC MS/MS (hyphenated techniques). Furthermore, this review provides all basic information regarding the sample preparation, type of biological sample and all detail concerning the determination through chromatography.

A Review on major Bioactivities of Bacopa monnieri
Pushkar, Gayatri Kishanprasad
Pushkar, Bhupendra K.
Sivabalan, Rohini
Bacopa monnieri (family: Scrophulariaceae) is a reputed drug of Ayurveda. It is used in traditional medicine to treat various nervous disorders and for promoting memory and intellect. This medicinal plant is locally known as Brahmi. It is known as a memory enhancer and many preparations of brahmi are now commercially available in the market. Herbal medicines are gaining importance hence B. monnieri has been studied extensively for its chemical constituents, constituents responsible for memory enhancing effect and also its various other useful effects. As now a days natural products are much preferred so the possible use of brahmi as a neuropsycotropic drug is also gaining importance. Some of its effects has been established in several in vivo and in vitro models. This article reviews the useful effects of this plant.

Kaur, Rajwinder
Singh, Harijot
Bhatnagar, R. N.
With the advent of modern surgical techniques, pediatric cataract has become much more manageable. Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is the standard care for patients over the age of 2 years. The use of IOL in young infants is still controversial. In addition, there are still unresolved issues, such as the minimum age at which IOL can be safely implanted, IOL power selection and IOL power calculation.

Role of imaging in diagnosis and management of intraocular foreign bodies: A short review
Kaur, Rajwinder
Khan, Balbir
Bhatnagar, R.N
IOFBs (intraocular foreign bodies) can be found in up to 40% of penetrating or open-globe ocular trauma cases. Vision loss can be devastating as a result of endophthalmitis, retinal detachment or ocular siderosis. However, timely and appropriate management often leads to favorable anatomic outcomes with restoration of good visual function in the majority of cases. The identification of IOFBs can be quite challenging clinically. Several imaging modalities are currently available to aid in screening for the presence of retained IOFBs—each with its own advantages and limitations.

Management Modalities for Necrotising Enterocolitis: Targeting Toll Like Receptors
Tripathy, Prasanta Kumar
Nanda, Rachita
In spite of advances in the management of newborn infants, Necrotizing Enterocolitis(NEC) continues to be a complicated disease all over the world. Gradual development in the field of NEC discovered ‘Toll-like receptor 4’(TLR4), which is a bacterial receptor having role in pathogenesis of the disease. TLR4 expression is increased in bowel mucosa of NEC babies and TLR4 activation causes mucosal injury and enterocyte apoptosis. Breast feeding is considered to decrease the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis. But, we neither have a definite molecule for the treatment of the disease nor for its prevention. CpG DNA which is present in the probiotic preparations and muramyl-di-peptide(MDP), inhibit TLR4 signaling may decrease NEC severity. Epidermal growth factors(EGF) present in amniotic fluid also reduce TLR4 signaling. Heparin binding EGF( HB-EGF) and Heat shock protein(Hsp 70) are possible approaches for management of NEC because of their action on TLR4. These may be considered as future management approach for this common and compromising disease of the newborn.

Urine Cytology: A Review
Bhat, Archana S
J, Manjunath
Shettty, Manjunath
Urine cytology is being studied since many years. This simple and cost effective test can help in diagnosis of urothelial malignancies. It has undergone a series of modifications in accordance with changes in histopathological classifications. Various systems for reporting urine cytology were being followed. But still there were difficulties and confusion in patient management. As such there were no clear cut criteria which led to lack of interobserver reproducibility. With the upcoming of The Paris System of reporting urine cytology, many of the doubts cleared. This system mentions addresses the problem of sample adequacy and clearly mentions the criteria for the various categories. To top it up, it also gives clear cut guidelines for the management of each of the categories. This review gives a glimpse of the various reporting systems with special emphasis on The Paris System of urine cytology.

Decontamination of Water Resources through Sustainable Ecological Sanitation of Night Soil With Production of Biofertilizer
Chaudhari, Pramod Ramkrishna
Jha, B K
Verma, Sanyogita
Singh, Dhiraj Kumar
India and certain other countries have the legacy of using environmental friendly and non-polluting ways of disposing fecal matter and domestic waste by converting them to biofertilizer. Animal and fecal wastes were routinely used to improve the fertility of soil. However, in 20th century due to increased urbanization, these traditional methods were replaced by flush toilets, producing sewage. Sewage is now the number one cause of water pollution. The water pollution decreased the public utility of water resources and resulted in public health problems. The widespread water pollution has left only a few surface and groundwater bodies in good condition. Traditional methods in India and elsewhere and research done in Sweden will be helpful in designing water less management of night soil including composting/digesting fecal matter mixed with domestic and agricultural waste and suitable industrial waste products, to produce fuel gas and biofertilizer. Technological intervention is needed to carry out research on these alternative processes to achieve decontamination of water bodies and to improve the fertility of widely occurring nutrient deficient agricultural soils.

The Antifibrotic Role of Relaxin
Tripathi, Geeta
Gupta, Swati
Relaxin, a polypeptide hormone of the insulin superfamily, is involved in the promotion of extracellular matrix remodeling. Emerging evidence supports a potential therapeutic role of relaxin in fibrotic diseases including liver. Relaxin has been shown to limit collagen production and promote collagen degradation. It not only prevents fibrogenesis, but also reduces established scarring. Together, these findings suggest that the liver is a target organ of relaxin. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to provide an overview of relaxin, its receptor, and their signaling with a focus on areas of potential translational research on fibrosis with emphasis on liver.

Orbital wall fractures are the more common fractures of the mid-face. Though surgical timing and approach are two important factors in management of orbital wall fracture, a third important factor is the choice of material used for reconstruction. There are numerous materials that are available for reconstruction of orbital wall defect. One among which is Titanium. Titanium is a metallic alloplast that has received much attention in the area of craniofacial reconstruction (Mok D et al). DOI: 10.21276/AABS.2017.1307

The most frequent prescription in Obstetrics: Bed Rest!
Khaira, Harkiran Kaur
Sinha, Smita
The most frequent prescription across all medical disciplines and specially in Obstetrics has been bed rest. Even in this age of evidence based medicine, bed rest remains as the most prescribed, although evidence does not support it. The usage is strong because there are no substantial randomised trials to either refute or support bed rest, beginning with lack of definition. In this article we are reviewing bed rest in early miscarriage, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, multiple pregnancy, preterm, reduced AFI, impaired fetal growth and in pregnancy after artificial reproduction techniques. We found that while women with moderate risk to preeclampsia, low AFI or multiple gestation may demonstrate some beneficial effects, it largely remains a tool for enforcing psychological benefit. It also entails adverse effects like muscle atrophy, stress and economic loss. However till more evidence can be made available, it will retain its numero uno position. DOI: 10.21276/AABS.2017.1310

Does Interleukin 22 have a role in periodontal pathogenesis? A short Review
Nagarakanti, Sreenivas
KV, Arun
Many studies from recent years have shown that Interleukin 22 (IL-22) plays a major role in both the defence against certain microbes and the development and maintenance of chronic inflammatory diseases. Periodontal disease, including gingivitis and periodontitis, is caused by the interaction between pathogenic bacteria and the host immune system. Further animal and human studies are needed to investigate the role of IL-22 in periodontal health and disease. DOI: 10.21276/AABS.2017.1328

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST): An Update on Its Uncommon and Complex Presentations: A Short Review
Nikumbh, Dhiraj
Nikumbh, Roopali D
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is recently diagnosed as a tumor entity. In the past, these tumors were classified as leiomyomas, leiomyosarcomas and leiomyoblastomas.1 GISTs are the rare soft tissue sarcomas of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), accounting for 0.1-3% of all GIT tumors.2The most common site of GIST is the stomach (60-70%) followed by small intestine (20-30%) and less common than 5% in colon, esophagus, omentum and mesentry.3The epidemiology of GIST is not known completely. Most often these cases were detected on endoscopy, on imaging of the abdomen, at surgery for the other condition or at autopsy.1The varied clinical presentations depend on the size of the tumor. Small GIST (less than 2cms) are asymptomatic and incidentally detected at endoscopy or at laparotomy.1 The large tumors give rise to vague abdominal discomfort or pain (20-50%), acute or chronic GI bleeding, intestinal obstruction (20%) or altered bowel habits and about 35% are detected incidentally. As per literature, the most common (50%) presentation is bleeding. Very large or malignant GIST presented as the exophytic palpable mass.1Regarding unusual and complex presentations of GIST, we encountered two cases of GISTs in the ten years of histopathology practice.

Bone Morphogenetic Proteins: An Overview
Sharma, Anamika
Sharma, Himani
For over years research has been carried out for finding the treatment procedures for the regeneration of a lost or injured part so that form and function of lost structures can be restored. This regenerative field holds the promise of engineering damaged tissues with the help of various growth factors including Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs), by stimulating the body's own repair mechanisms. BMPs constitute the largest subgroup of transforming growth factor beta superfamily. Till date over 30 members of this family has been identified. They are dimeric molecules and exhibit their effects using specific cell surface receptors. With the development of the techniques required for the isolation and cloning of these molecules, we are now able to understand their properties. They are powerful inductors of the osteogenic activity and have proliferative effects on various cellular types. This made us to use them in various therapeutic procedures including oral maxillofacial reconstruction, periodontal regeneration, enhancing osseointegration around dental implants and in various endodontic procedures. However, their effect is dosage and carrier dependent. Thus, the aim of this review is to help in understanding the structure, classification, signaling and role of BMPs in regeneration of bone and tissues. DOI: 10.21276/AABS.1336

Indigenous Flaps in ENT: Our Experience
Munjal, Manish
Arora, Archana
Talwar, Gopika
Kaur, Amanjot
Singh, Tejinder
The nose is undoubtedly an important facial feature. The rhinologic surgeon with interest in external nasal soft tissue surgery, oncologic or otherwise, may often require reconstruction of a soft tissue defect, from the medial canthus to the nasal ala laterally, to the nasal tip medially. The coverage needs tissues which resemble the adjoining skin texture and have a thickness which would fill the defect appropriately without appearing as a separate patch and upset the patient psychologically. Therefore we utilized local rotation and advancement flaps for the reconstruction of facial defects. Experience with these flaps is being shared.DOI: 10.21276/AABS.2017.1341

Das, Anupam
Mittal, Vineeta
Meningitis is a major health problem causing inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, collectively known as the meninges. Meningitis is generally caused by Meningococcus, Streptococcus pyogenes bacterial species causing bacterial meningitis: BM), Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Tubercular meningitis: TBM), Cryptococcus neoformans (fungal meningitis: CM). In recent times the CM and TBM are two most common types of chronic infectious meningitis. In adults, HIV-associated Cryptococcal meningitis has been reported in many areas of the world having high HIV seroprevalence i.e. in Sub-Saharan Africa. Cryptococcal meningitis is the fourth most commonly recognized cause of life-threatening infection among AIDS patients.Despite availability of antiretroviral therapy, the rise in rate of infections due to HIV/AIDS, suppress the cell mediated immune system and subjects are predisposed for opportunistic infections. Additionally, In AIDS patients, it is characterized by lack of meningeal signs and diminished inflammatory response. Diagnosis of CM is generally based on the collection of CSF sample and/or blood samples. Initially the CSF samples are processed for ‘gold standard’ culture methods, microscopy and India ink preparation. Serologically, Latex agglutination test (LAT) is the most commonly used for detection of Cryptococcal capsular antigen. Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) is another serological tool for detection of capsular polysaccharide antigens of C. neoformans in CSF.DOI: 10.21276/AABS.2017.1344

Utility of Interactive Teaching Tools in Classroom Teaching-A Review of literature
Kotasthane, Dhananjay Shrikant
Kotasthane, Vaishali Dhananjay
Change in medical education is needed to prepare doctors to meet the challenges of changing trends in the health care delivery system.Most of the medical schools have traditional, teacher-centered training.Most of the current undergraduate training is didactic and pedagogical, with the teacher as a source of information, which encourages students for surface learning.The most popular and widespread teaching method is lecturing.In a lecture, learners are passive.It haslowestretention value of all teaching techniques.After reviewing literature, it was noted from various studies that incorporation of various interactive techniques, viz,brainstorming,think pair and share,Multiple choice questions,role play, word puzzles, quiz, group tasks,Problem based learning,case based learning help to achieve learning objectives in a student centric manner..Also, from review of literature it is found that interactivity makes the students more attentive and enthusiastic. Incorporation of interactivity in lectures has been found to improve teaching-learning process by educators who utilized interactivity in classroom teaching.Interactive teaching in medical education is need of hour to be introduce to achieve goals of learning outcomes of undergraduate teaching.DOI: 10.21276/AABS.2017.1345

Clusterin: It’s Implication in Health and Diseases.
Ishaq, Sheikh
Kaur, Harnam
Bhatia, Sonam
Clusterin (CLU) is a glycoprotein with a nearly ubiquitous tissue distribution that has been reported to be implicated in several physiological processes as well as in many pathological conditions including ageing, diabetes, atherosclerosis, degenerative diseases and tumorigenesis including tumors of prostate, colon, and breast. Two distinct CLU mRNA isoforms,the conventional secreted form of CLU (sCLU) is thought to be a component of high density lipoprotein-cholesterol. sCLU functions as a chaperone for misfolded proteins and it is thought to promote survival by reducing oxidative stress. Nuclear CLU, formed by alternative splicing, is responsible for promoting apoptosis via a Bax-dependent pathway. This review will summarizes our understanding of the importance of CLU in various physiological functions and speculate on its role in disease.

Efficacy of cyanoacrylate and black braided silk for the closure of incision after surgical removal of impacted third molars: A Systematic Review
James, Divya
G, Uma Maheswari
INTRODUCTION: Wound closure is a part of any surgical procedure and the objective of laceration repair or incision closure is to approximate the edges of a wound so that natural healing process takes place. Over the years new biomaterials have been used as an alternate to conventional suture materials. Cyanoacrylate bio adhesives are one among them. They carry the advantage of rapid application, patient comfort, resistance to infection, hemostatic properties, and no suture removal anxiety. Hence this study was undertaken to study the effect of long chain cyanoacrylate as an adhesive for intraoral wound closure and also to explore its hemostatic and antibacterial effects.The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of cyanoacrylate and black braided silk for the closure of surgical incision after removal of impacted third molars.SEARCH STRATEGY Databases searched: PubMed CENTRAL, Google Scholar, Cochrane, Bibliographies of Clinical Studies and Reviews. Hand search done from 1988 till October 2016.SELECTION CRITERIA: Clinical trials evaluating the severity of pain and hemostasis in the closure of incisions after surgically removed third molars.RESULTS: The reviews found some clinical evidence that, there is significant difference between sutures and cyanoacrylate on postoperative pain following mandibular third molar surgery. There is also significant difference between sutures and cyanoacrylate on haemostasis following mandibular third molar surgery.CONCLUSION: The clinical evidence in this review is adequate to state that, there is a difference in postoperative pain and haemostasis following mandibular third molar surgery between black braided silk and cyanoacrylate.

Withania Somnifera: A New Approach To Cancer
Shah, Darshana Rajesh
Palaskar, Sangeeta J
Pawar, Rasika Balkrishna
Punse, Rupal R
Cancer is a hyper proliferative disorder characterized by the abnormal proliferation of cells that invades into the adjacent tissues and causes the destruction. Many cancers are hereditary, other arise from the internal and external environmental factor. Various treatment modalities available for cancer are Surgery, Radiation, Chemotherapy and targeted therapy. Inspite of major advances in drug discovery, research is still undergoing to understand complex biology of cancer with new therapeutics available. A popular ayurvedic herb Withania Somnifera (WS) also known as Indian Winter Cherry and Indian Ginseng is used as a traditional medicine for various cancers. The results of the studies carried out on WS and its chemical components like Withaferin A(WA), Withanolide D (WithaD) etc, describe that it is effective in prevention and treatment of different kinds of cancer like colon, blood, lung, skin, breast, renal, fibrosarcoma, prostate, pancreatic, renal, malignant melanoma, osteosarcoma by preventing proliferation and progression of cancer cells, alteration in hematological and biochemical parameters, modulation of cell cycle markers etc. Withania somnifera can be given alone or in combination with synthetic drugs. Identification of novel natural anticancer compound is highly demanding for prevention and treatment of cancer. However, multicentric long term clinical studies should be carried out to provide complementary and alternative therapy.DOI: 10.21276/AABS.1838

Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Variations: A review
B, Amrutha
Chinnappa, Anitha
The inferior alveolar nerve block is the most common method for obtaining mandibular anaesthesia in dental practice though it has been estimated to have only 80 to 85% of success rate. Traditional anaesthesia of the mandibular nerve and its branches consists of deposition of anaesthetic solution in the region of the mandibular foramen. This commonly used technique eliminates all somatosensory perception of the mandible, mandibular teeth, floor of the mouth, ipsilateral tongue, and all but the lateral (buccal) gingivae. In the case of difficulty-to-anesthetize patient, the inferior alveolar nerve can be particularly challenging. In those patients, other approaches may be necessary to achieve profound anaesthesia. This article summarizes the different approaches that may be utilized in such cases.
