Introduction BRAC, an international development organisation based in Bangladesh, uses female volunteer community health workers called Shasthya Shebika (SS), who receive small incentives to implement its home-fortification interventions at the level. This paper examines individual, and BRAC work environment factors that exert influence on performance of SS. Methods qualitative study was conducted between period June 2014 December 2016 as part a larger evaluation BRAC's programme. Data were...
COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus disease that has been declared as global pandemic in 2019. It affects the whole world through person-to-person communication. This virus spreads by droplets of coughs and sneezing, which are quickly falling over surface. Therefore, anyone can get easily affected breathing vicinity patient. Currently, vaccine for under clinical investigation different pharmaceutical companies. Until now, multiple medical companies have delivered health monitoring kits. However,...
<i>Trypanosoma brucei</i> encodes a relatively high number of genes the equilibrative nucleoside transporter (ENT) family. We report here cloning and in-depth characterization one <i>T. brucei ENT member, TbNT9/AT-D.

Human ether a-go-go related gene (hERG) or KV11.1 potassium channels mediate the rapid delayed rectifier current (IKr) in cardiac myocytes. Drug-induced inhibition of hERG has been implicated development acquired long QT syndrome type (aLQTS) and fatal arrhythmias. Several marketed drugs have withdrawn for this reason. Therefore, there is considerable interest developing better tests predicting which can block channel. The drug-binding pocket channels, lies below selectivity filter, normally...

Inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R)-mediated Ca2+ signaling plays a pivotal role in different cellular processes, including cell proliferation and death. Remodeling signals by targeting the downstream effectors is considered an important hallmark cancer progression. Despite recent structural analyses, no binding hypothesis for antagonists within IP3-binding core (IBC) has been proposed yet. Therefore, to elucidate 3D features of IP3R modulators, we used combined pharmacoinformatic...
