Radioopque contrast media for root canal visualisation in endodontics
Dental pulp space anatomy in the human dentition is quite complex. Patent lateral and accessory canals may form the pathways of infection from pulp space to periodontal ligament or vice versa. Although the role of accessory canals is debatable in endodontic treatment, their radiographic identification may assist in the assessment of potential endodontic failure. a new formulation of radio-opaque contrast medium in which the chief ingredient is Iopamidol, which is a non-ionic water soluble radiopaque contrast medium 50% + 2.25% sodium hypochlorite + 17% EDTA + Tween80. The Iopamidol comprises a radiopaque iodine solution and a sodium hypochlorite solution. The iodine solution comprises diatrizoate meglumine and sodium iodine. The iodine solution and sodium hypochlorite solution are mixed in a ratio of between 5:95 to 95:5, by volume, preferably, 30:70 to 70:30, by volume. A ratio of between 45:55 to 55:45 by volume is found to be more effective. The solution is particularly effective for visualizing root canal systems. The sodium hypochlorite in the composition will digest pulp in the canal system and destroy and remove any organisms and irritants residing in. The iodine in the solution will enable a dentist to take a high contrast X-ray to visualize in three-dimensions. The solution is particularly effective for visualizing root canal systems

Unique primers for rapid detection test for SARS-CoV-2 using loop-mediated isothermal amplification
NAAT (Nucleic Acid Amplification Test)-based RT-LAMP assay is a rapid, robust, and
cost-effective (significantly cheaper than currently available RT-qPCR and anybody testing
kit) point-of-care detection for SARS-CoV-2 since testing of SARS-CoV-2 in large
populations is crucial for diagnosis, epidemiology, and surveillance. Currently, only the
RT-qPCR test is being used for detection. This requires expensive equipment and a wellequipped laboratory to perform the test. The rapid RT-LAMP could be helpful for this
screening purpose, since the results can be delivered in a few hours, and the assay is based
on isothermal amplification and visual detection, it can be performed in a simple water bath
or a small heating block, which can be made available even at a rural primary health centre.
This way, even people living in rural areas will have access to COVID-19 tests.

Bacteriophage consortium for control of Vibriosis in aquaculture
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is an important pathogen of aquatic animals
due to the emergence of pathogenic variants that lead to colossal
losses in shrimp aquaculture. Phages are natural cohabitants with
bacteria in aquatic environments and play an important role in
maintaining the ecosystem equilibrium. However, phage therapy
has limitations such as narrow spectrum of activity and emergence
of phage resistance. We have overcome this problem by developing a
consortium of highly lytic phages that increase the lytic spectrum to
over 82% and prevent emergence of phage resistance. Hence, this page
consortium can be used as a viable and low-cost disease management
strategy against V. parahaemolyticus infections in aquatic animals.
Bacteriophage consortium for control of Pseudomonas spp
The emergence of highly virulent multidrug-resistant
P. aeruginosa has become increasingly evident among hospital
acquired infection and has raised the need for alternative
therapies. Phage therapy can be one such alternative to
antibiotic therapy to combat multidrug-resistant pathogenic
bacteria, but this requires the availability of phages
with a broad host range. Keeping in view the great
potential of bacteriophages in controlling pathogens,
development of this product focused on the isolation,
genetic characterization and lytic activity on a broad
range of P. aeruginosa specific jumbo phages with the
intention of establishing the potential of candidate phages
for the control of MDR P. aeruginosa. The jumbo
bacteriophages isolated had lytic ability against biofilm
forming and multidrug resistant P. aeruginosa and could be
candidates for controlling growth of MDR P. aeruginosa in
various settings
