ABSTRACT In the presence of molecular oxygen, the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae produces and secretes large amounts of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which can readily interact with free and heme-bound iron.Here, we investigated the role of the endogenously produced H2O2 in iron acquisition.The data revealed that S.pneumoniae uses H2O2 to libe
Background: To analyse the rate of complications associated with Nd YAG posterior capsulotomy.Methods: This prospective clinical study was conducted in Holy Family Hospital over a six-month period.It included five hundred and fifty patients in out door Eye Department, Holy Family Hospital treated with Nd YAG laser capsulotomy due to posterior capsu
Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) implant-based reconstructions have transformed direct-to-implant breast reconstruction (DTI).But like all pca motor surgery, it is not deplete of complications such as seroma, infections and wound healing problems.These are cited with varying frequencies in the literature.With increased experience and through a series
Abstract Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) facilitate data communication across multiple nodes and hop stations, characterized by their dynamic topology.This inherent flexibility, however, makes MANETs vulnerable to various security threats, notably blackhole and wormhole attacks, where malicious nodes can intercept and manipulate data.This study inv
The ability of controlling the temperature of a system by using heat transfer and thermodynamics-based technology is known as thermal management.Thermal management is a crucial problem which is to be addressed in the various fields.This study accompanies a numerical work to provide a solution for heat transfer enhancement by studying a straight rec
