Urinary podocalyxin: an early biomarker for diabetic nephropathy?
Is there a way to detect the development of nephropathy in diabetes type 2 patients even before albumin shows up in urine? Research done at the Medical College Hospital, Thiruvananthapuram suggests that the protein, podocalyxin, in urine may be an early biomarker for diabetic nephropathy. Mahwish Adnan reports.
Predicting probiotic persistence: personalising prescriptions
Sometimes, prescriptions of probiotic bacteria do not have the intended results. In some, the bacteria colonise the gut, while in some others the prescription fails. Why? Researchers from IIIT Delhi and AIIMS Delhi have come up with answers, reports Gayathri from Sastra Deemed University, Thanjavur.
Fermented cooked rice: variety matters
Soak left-over rice in water and it starts fermenting. The bacterial species responsible depends on the variety of rice. Researchers from Chennai compares and contrasts the bacterial species in fermented rice of two distinct traditional varieties. They find that the bacteria have probiotic properties. Aritha Chandrasekhar reports.
Deep learning algorithms to predict cyclone severity
Cyclones are not just gusts of wind and rain. They destroy life and property. We need improvements in our prediction of cyclones, to distinguish severe cyclones, very severe cyclones and super cyclones before they happen. Indian researchers have taken one more step towards this. Sanghamitra reports recent research.
Pigeon pea problem: solution with soybean
Indian researchers discover how to save pigeon pea crops from the monsoon variability. To reduce chances of loss to farmers due to diseases and pests, and market variability, here are some tips from six years of research. Sanghamitra reports.
Asansol Municipal Corporation: ecosystem value reduces by one-tenth
Asansol in West Bengal is one of the fastest growing cities in the world. But urbanisation and industrialisation are taking a toll on the ecosystem of the area. Researchers from six institutions collaborated to quantify this ecological loss in economic terms. Ishita Malakar reports their research.
Virtual Reality in Education: Overcoming the challenges
