The Scope Of Stable Compounds With Anthroponymic Component In Works Of Art

This article is presented as an example of research on the study of antrponyms in uzbek and English languages, and their similar and different aspects antroponym series according to their category of origins, the usage of in real life and literary contents cited. Also, in this article, anthroponymy as an interdisciplinary field that combines elements of linguistics, history, sociology, and anthropology to understand the cultural, regional, and historical factors that influence naming practices is discussed. It encompasses the study of given names (first names) and surnames (family names) across different cultures and communities, delving into the ways in which names reflect social, religious, and linguistic trends. Furthermore, anthroponymy also involves exploring naming conventions, naming patterns, and changes in naming practices over time

Role Of Live Microorganisms In Colon Cancer- A Review On Probiotic Effect

The gut microflora plays important role in maintaining homeostasis in thehuman body. An unwanted disturbance in the gut microbiome can lead topro-inflammatory immune responses and the initiation of disease processes,including cancer. Literature has recently highlighted the enormous scientificinterest on the relationship between the gut microbiota and colon cancer, andhow the use of some selected probiotics can have a future impact on theadverse events which occur during this disease. Studies prove that somestrains of probiotics can be used for by modulating intestinal microbiota andimmune response and can be an alternative healthy way to prevent for canceror/and as adjuvant treatment during anticancer chemotherapy. This reviewpresents the latest advances in research into the effectiveness of probioticsin the prevention and treatment support of cancer. The described issuesconcern to the anticancer activity of probiotic microorganisms and theirmetabolites. In addition, we described the potential mechanisms ofprobiotic, how they can contribute in cancer prevention. The aim of thisreview was to summarize the knowledge about the effect of probioticmicroorganisms in well-balanced way to prevent colon cancer and theadverse effects caused by related therapie

Diagnostic accuracy of commercially available immunochromatographic rapid tests for diagnosis of dengue in India.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: There is limited evidence regarding the accuracy of dengue rapid diagnostic kits despite their extensive use in India. We evaluated the performance of four immunochromatographic Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDTs) kits: Multisure dengue Ab/Ag rapid test (MP biomedicals; MP), Dengucheck combo (Zephyr Biomedicals; ZB), SD bioline dengue duo (Alere; SD) and Dengue day 1 test (J Mitra; JM). METHODS: This is a laboratory-based diagnostic evaluation study. Rapid tests results were compared to reference non-structural (NS1) antigen or immunoglobulin M (IgM) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results of 241 dengue-positive samples and 247 dengue-negative samples. Sensitivity and specificity of NS1 and IgM components of each RDT were calculated separately and in combination (either NS1 or IgM positive) against reference standard ELISA. RESULTS: A total of 238, 226, 208, and 146 reference NS1 ELISA samples were tested with MP, ZB, SD, and JM tests, respectively. In comparison to the NS1 ELISA reference tests, the NS1 component of MP, ZB, SD, and JM RDTs demonstrated a sensitivity of 71.8%, 85.1%, 77.2% and 80.9% respectively and specificity of 90.1%, 92.8%, 96.1 %, and 93.6%, respectively. In comparison to the IgM ELISA reference test, the IgM component of RDTs showed a sensitivity of 40.0%, 50.3%, 47.3% and 20.0% respectively and specificity of 92.4%, 88.6%, 96.5%, and 92.2% respectively. Combining NS1 antigen and IgM antibody results led to sensitivities of 87.5%, 82.9%, 93.8% and 91.7% respectively, and specificities of 75.3%, 73.9%, 76.5%, and 80.0% respectively. INTERPRETATION & CONCLUSION: Though specificities were acceptable, the sensitivities of each test were markedly lower than manufacturers' claims. These results also support the added value of combined antigen-and antibody-based RDTs for the diagnosis of acute dengue
