ABSTRACT Hysterectomy is the commonest gynaecological surgery performed in women.Present study involved 43 patients undergoing hysterectomy for benign condition.Out of 43 patients vaginal hysterectomy were performed in 26 cases and Pillow Protectors rest of the cases were performed by abdominal route.Out of 26 vaginal hysterectomy a case was conver
Bacterial co-infection and antibiotic stewardship in patients with COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract Introduction Understanding the proportion of patients with COVID-19 who have respiratory bacterial co-infections and the responsible pathogens is important for managing COVID-19 effectively while ensuring responsible antibiotic use.Objective To estimate the frequency of bacterial co-infection in COVID-19 hospitalized patients and of antibi
Testing the passive sampling hypothesis: The role of dispersal in shaping microbial species-area relationship
Dispersal is one of the key processes determining biodiversity.The passive sampling hypothesis, which emphasizes dispersal processes, suggests that larger habitats receive more species from the species pool as the main mechanism leading to more species in larger habitats than in smaller habitats (i.e., species-area relationships).However, the speci
Materials-based drug delivery approaches: Recent advances and future perspectives
Materials-based drug delivery approaches have garnered substantial attention in recent years due to their potential to revolutionize pharmaceutical interventions.This abstract provides a concise overview of recent advancements and future prospects in this rapidly evolving field.Materials such as nanoparticles, liposomes, polymers, and hydrogels hav
