LEUKOCYTE MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN COVID-19, A PERIPHERAL SMEAR STUDY AND ANALYSIS AT A TERTIARY HEALTH CARE CENTRE IN INDIA

Leukocyte morphological changes in COVID-19, a peripheral smear study and analysis at a tertiary health care centre in India

Context: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as the name depicts, a contagious disease caused by the coronavirus that emerged in the year 2019 December, at the Wuhan province in China.The knowledge on the pathogenesis of the disease at the cellular level to correlate with the clinical severity is still evolving.Various clinicopathological features

Carbon nanotubes at bilayer in-plane graphene/hBN with interlayer twist angles abnormally enhance its interlayer stress transfer

Summary: A possibility of unprecedented architecture may be opened up by combining both vertical and in-plane heterostructures.It is fascinating to discover that the interlayer stress transfer, interlayer binding energy, Cable Retainer and interlayer shear stress of bi-layer Gr/hBN with CNTs heterostructures greatly increase (more than 2 times) wit

Ras GTPase-like protein MglA, a controller of bacterial social-motility in Myxobacteria, has evolved to control bacterial predation by Bdellovibrio.

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus invade Gram-negative bacteria in a predatory process requiring Type IV pili (T4P) at a single invasive pole, and also glide on surfaces to locate prey.Ras-like G-protein MglA, working with MglB and RomR in the deltaproteobacterium Myxococcus xanthus, regulates adventurous gliding and T4P-mediated social motility at both M
