Making a Rationale Decision About -Uses of FFP: A Study at the Blood Bank of Tertiary Care Hospital of Southern Rajasthan
Blood is a crucial part of life as there is no other alternative to the human body’s connective tissue. Blood is composed of blood cells suspended in plasma. Plasma, which constitutes 55% of body fluid, is mostly water (92% by volume) and contains proteins, glucose, mineral ions, hormones, carbon dioxide, urea, uric acid, oxygen, etc. (plasma being the primary medium for excretory product transportation). Plasma performs many essential functions within the body, like coagulation, supply of nutrients, removal of wastes

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by the presence of Philadelphia chromosome (Ph+) in the majority of cases, and definitely by the presence of the hybrid BCR/ ABL1 proto-oncogene in all the patients. The BCR::ABL1 fusion gene encodes for an oncoprotein that has an activated tyrosine kinase domain in the ABL region and affects crucial cellular activities, such as increased proliferation, loss of stromal adhesion, and resistance to apoptosis, through enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of various cellular substrates.

Balanced translocation resulting in fusion of the Abelson gene (ABL1) from chromosome 9q34 with the breakpoint cluster region (BCR) gene on chromosome 22q11.2 is the pathognomonic molecular driver of CML. The resulting BCRABL 1 fusion gene is both the diagnostic as well as therapeutic target of CML. The first agent with tyrosine kinase inhibitor activity that was licenced in 2000 for treatment of CML patients, was Imatinib, gradually followed by multiple agents with higher efficacy.
Escherichia coli Stress, Multi-cellularity, and the Generation of the Quorum Sensing Peptide EDF
Bacterial communication via quorum sensing (QS) molecules, as well as toxin-antitoxin (TA) gene modules located on bacterial chromosomes are well-studied mechanisms. Escherichia coli mazEF is a stress-induced TA system mediating cell death requiring a QS extracellular death factor (EDF), the pentapeptide NNWNN. MazF is an endoribonuclease specific for ACA sites. During adverse conditions, the activated MazF generates a stress induced translation machinery, composed of MazF-processed mRNAs and selective ribosomes that specifically translate these processed mRNAs.
Constitutively Active Death Receptor Induces Apoptosis in Mammalian Cells
Apoptosis is a physiological response in development and homeostasis of metazoans. Apoptosis is triggered during pathological events as a means to renew affected tissues and eliminate cancer cells. The immune system regulates the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis, where signals such as TNFα or displayed ligands on the surface of immune cells trigger signal cascades by death receptors present on targeted cells.
Prevalence of Symptom Clusters in Cancer Patients at First Presentation in Palliative Care Clinic as per Different Disease Groups
Cancer has its own disease burden and patients usually suffer from symptom clusters when they are referred for palliative treatment. Identification of symptom cluster trajectories will help clinician to take into account measures that can optimize quality of life of palliative patients. Therefore the aim of this paper is to determine the overall prevalence of symptoms and symptoms clusters in different disease groups according to etiology at the time of first visit to Palliative care clinic by using HIS Palliative First Assessment note indicating Edmonton symptom scale.
Chimeric Antigen Receptor CAR NK Cells Emerging Immunotherapy for the Treatment of Cancer
Although NK cells are recognized as effector lymphocytes of the innate immune system, they also regulate the adaptive immune response by releasing inflammatory cytokines and developing immunological memory. Unlike other lymphocytes such as T or B cells, NK cells do not express rearrangeable, antigen-specific receptors.

A View on the Contribution of Hedgehog Signalling to Ventricular Septal Development
The ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most frequent congenital heart disease in humans. It is defined as an opening in the septum separating the left and the right ventricle. This gap results in a mixture of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood and in an enhanced blood flow towards the lung and the left ventricle, a condition that leads to severe diseases such as left ventricular hypertrophy as well as pulmonary edema and dilatation.
Mono- and Multi-nucleated Cardiomyocytes Do Not Constitute Transcriptionally Distinct Entities
The last years have witnessed an increased interest in the genetic, epigenetic and transcriptional heterogeneity of mammalian hearts under basal and disease conditions. Although it is known for a long time that the heart consists of several, functionally different cell populations, more detailed insights into the potential heterogeneity of individual cell populations, such as cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells or fibroblasts were hindered by the lack of appropriate techniques.
