< em > Erysipelothrix amsterdamensis < /em > sp. nov., associated with mortalities among endangered seabirds
In this study, we genomically characterized 16 Erysipelothrix species isolates obtained from three Indian yellow-nosed albatross (Thalassarche carteri) chick carcasses in 2019. Histological analyses suggest that they died of bacterial septicaemia. Two isolates were sequenced using both Illumina short-read and MinION long-read approaches, which - following hybrid assembly - resulted in closed circular genomes. Mapping of Illumina reads from the remaining isolates to one of these new reference genomes revealed that all 16 isolates were closely related, with a maximum of 13 nucleotide differences distinguishing any pair of is...

Disaster after disaster: the outbreak of infectious diseases in Pakistan in the wake of 2022 floods
Ann Med Surg (Lond). 2023 Dec 8;86(2):891-898. doi: 10.1097/MS9.0000000000001597. eCollection 2024 Feb.ABSTRACTIn June 2022, Pakistan witnessed catastrophic floods, affecting millions of people. The ensuing epidemics of cholera, cryptosporidiosis, rotavirus infections, generalized diarrhoea, typhoid and paratyphoid fevers, as well as the frequency of vector-borne diseases including malaria and dengue fever, are studied in this investigation. It also explores the latest outbreak of poliomyelitis and the frequency of respiratory diseases such COVID-19, diphtheria, and tuberculosis, as well as how floods have contributed to s...

An updated review on nelumbo nucifera gaertn: chemical composition, nutritional value and pharmacological activities
Chem Biodivers. 2024 Feb 7:e202301493. doi: 10.1002/cbdv.202301493. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNelumbo nucifera Gaertn is a recognised herbal plant in ancient medical sciences. Each portion of the plant leaf, flower, seed and rhizome is utilised for nutritional and medicinal purposes. The chemical compositions like phenol, alkaloids, glycoside, terpenoids and steroids have been isolated. The plant contains various nutritional values like lipids, proteins, amino acids, minerals, carbohydrates, and fatty acids. Traditional medicine confirms that the phytochemicals of plants give significant benefits to the treatment of va...
