A study was conducted among Saharia, a primitive tribe of central India, with an objective to assess the nutritional profile and associated socio-economic factors. A cross sectional sample of 364 adult males and females aged 18-60 years was studied. Stature, body weight, skinfold thickness, circumferences, fat percent, grip strength and blood pressure were measured on each subject. Body mass in...

BACKGROUND Engulfment of apoptotic cells is important for cellular homeostasis and the development of multicellular organisms. Previous studies have shown that more than one engulfment receptors act upstream of the conserved signaling module CED-2/CrkII-CED-5/Dock180-CED-12/ELMO for cell corpse removal in C. elegans, but little is known about their identities, except for PSR-1. RESULTS We sho...

A critical accomplishment in the rapidly developing field of regenerative medicine will be the ability to foster repair of neurons severed by injury, disease, or microsurgery. In C. elegans, individual visualized axons can be laser-cut in vivo and neuronal responses to damage can be monitored to decipher genetic requirements for regeneration. With an initial interest in how local environments m...

Abstract This study aims to find the cumulative energy demand (CED) and cost (CCD) in synthesis of antistatic bionanocomposites (AS BNC) compared with polypropylene (PP). The CED was identified using SimaPro 9.1.1 software, CCD material flow analysis (MEFA) method. results show that required per kg mass AS BNC pellets 87.80 MJ, which is lower than PP (91.19 MJ). shows use 94.38% PP, 2% M-DAG, 2...

Abstract: Buildings currently play a fundamental role for the achievement of the sustainable development goals as they are responsible for several environmental, social, and economic impacts. Energy renovation projects of existing buildings can support the reduction of environmental impacts by leading, at the same time, to economic and social advantages. In this paper, the life cycle assessment...

(Igaki et al., 2000) unveils the long anticipated, missing piece of the apoptosome in flies. On page 703 in this issue, in a paper by Colussi et al., Ku-mur, Richardson, and colleagues characterize the first Drosophila members of the Bcl-2 gene family whose function is important for programmed cell death (PCD). The founding member of this gene family was identified as the proto-oncogene upregul...

Abstract Background Fibrosis is a hallmark of cardiac remodeling and present in variety diseases. In particular, the highly prevalent heterogeneous group dysfunctions with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), interstitial fibrosis has been identified as pivotal pathophysiological factor. Current evidence suggests that comorbidities, mainly from metabolic spectrum, promote chroni...
