Mucormycetes are a group of fungi causing a serious infection called mucormycosis. These fungi live throughout the environment, particularly in soil than in the air. This fungus is severely spread among people who have weakened immune systems; breathing in these spores can cause severe infection in the lungs or sinuses, which can spread easily to other parts of the body. In the present work, Rhizopus species was isolated from soil and antifungal activity of different solvent extracts of young leaves of Carica papaya (Papaya), Citrus limon (lemon), Psidium guajava (guava) and Acalypha indica (Indian nettle) were tested against Rhizopus species using the disc diffusion method. It was observed that all four plant leaves exhibit positive activity against Rhizopus species. Ethanolic extract of Carica papaya leaves (75mg/ml) showed more potency with an inhibition zone of 20 ± 0.2 mm. Aqueous extracts (25mg/ml) of Acalypha indica leaves (7±0.2 mm) showed lowest zone of inhibition found in against Rhizopus species. Antifungal activity of aqueous, ethanol, and chloroform extracts of Citrus limon leaves...

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a persistent metabolic cluster of diseases that involves erroneously excessive blood glucose levels. The polygenic disorder cluster of diseases includes Type I, Type II, Physiological state polygenic disorder (Gestational diabetes), Infant polygenic disorder (Neonatal diabetes), Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY), and secondary causes because of endocrinopathies, steroid use and-so-on. Type I and Type II are the principal subtypes of DM, which are classically consequences of defective insulin secretion (Type I Diabetes Mellitus-TIDM) and /or action (Type II Diabetes Mellitus-TIIDM). TIDM likely gets access in kids or adolescents, whereas TIIDM impacts middle elderly and older adults who’ve extended hyperglycemia because of a bad way of life, lack of exercise, and nutritional choices. There is a vital distinction between TIDM and TIIDM, and consequently, every kind has diverse aetiologies, treatments, and medical presentations. This review article provides acquired facts regarding recently recommended guidelines for diabetes and its...

Due to plentiful wild plant diversity, poor road conditions to connect modern medical facilities, and age-old folk knowledge on medicinal plants, the tribal communities of Dhemaji District, Assam, India, still practice traditional plant-based therapy in the management of primary healthcare. The present investigation aims to represent the ethnobotanical knowledge of different ethnic community peoples of the Nilakh- Sripani area, a fringe area laying the Assam- Arunachal border. The ethnobotanical field survey (2018- 2020) was carried out based on formal and informal semi-structured questionnaires with village headmen, traditional healers, and well-educated persons from 11 villages belonging to Nilakh and Sripanigaon panchayat. Analysis of the demographic profile of informants, local names of plants, parts used, used in ailments, preparation and route of administration was investigated during the survey. The documented data were also quantitatively analyzed by using standard ethnobotanical parameters like Use Value (UV), Fidelity Level (FL) and Informant Consensus Factor (ICF). A total of 102 plant species belonging to 57 families were recorded. During the time of the study, 33...

Rett Syndrome is an extremely rare, post-natal, and serious genetic neurodevelopmental syndrome that occurs mostly in female children. It occurs due to the mutations in the MeCP2 gene of the X chromosome. Children with Rett syndrome are usually diagnosed within 24 months of their age. The mutation takes place on the S421 site of the MeCP2 gene. The information for coding MeCP2 protein is obtained from the MeCP2 gene. This protein helps to silence or turn off the other genes. Thus, the mutation of the MeCP2 gene can disrupt the other genes and may interfere with the normal development of the Central Nervous System. The signs and symptoms of Rett syndrome may include slowed growth, brain growth slows after birth, loss of normal movement and coordination, loss of communication abilities, abnormal hand movements, unusual eye movements, breathing problems, irritability, crying, and other abnormal behaviors. There are 3 types of clinical criteria for the diagnosis of Rett syndrome. They are the main criteria, supportive criteria, and exclusion criteria. The doctor...

Diabetes mellitus is an associated symptom of untreated high blood sugar, and it’s linked to long-term organ damage, dysfunction, and failure in adults. The ongoing increased scale of Diabetes mellitus will severely impact the long-term health of the global population and the global economy unless appropriate prevention and management strategies are established. Plants were studied using streptozotocin-induced diabetes rodents’ in-vivo animal models. As per the World Health Organization, more than 90% of people in underdeveloped countries use natural medicine (plants and their products) for primary health care. Approximately 800 plants have been identified to have anti-diabetic properties. The following are the most commonly utilized plant extracts to help regulate blood glucose: Allium cepa (Onion), Allium sativum (Garlic), Aloe barbadensis (Aloe vera), Azadirachta indica (Neem), Beta vulgaris (Beetroot), Catharanthus roseus (Vinca rosea), Cinnamomum cassia (Cinnamon), Curcuma longa (Curcumin), Eugenia jambolana (Jamun), Hibiscus rosa-sinesis (Gurhal), Mangifera indica (Mango), Momordica charantia (Karela), Nigella sativa (Kalonji), Ocimum sanctum (Tulsi), Panax ginseng (Ginseng), Pterocarpus marsupium (Vijyasar), Psidium guajava (Guava), Tamarindus indica (Tamarind), Trigonella foenum-graecum...
