Abstract: The various embodiments herein provide an electro spun wound dressing comprising three nano fibrous layers and a method of synthesizing the same. The outer polymeric layer acts as a support layer for the other two layers and is hydrophilic in nature. The middle layer comprises a genipin cross linked reservoir layer loaded with a herbal extract of Melilotus officinalis and is hydrophobic or hydrophilic in nature. The second layer is cross-linked to control a release of the Melilotus officinalis extract in an aqueous environment. The third layer is a wound contacting inner layer comprising a non-cross-linked chitosan based nanofibrous layer that is hydrophilic in nature. Various additives are provided to enhance the mechanical or the chemical properties of the wound dressing and to control a release profile of the herbal extract.

Abstract: Modified western blot membranes with silver nanoparticle allow the small peptides of the NS1 protein of the poultry influenza virus to be kept in the membrane and not to diffuse during transferring from the Tricine SDS PAGE. These peptides may differentiate infected from vaccinated poultry.

Abstract: A new system and method for medical image processing using a nonlinear recursive filter are disclosed. An input signal including two or more pulses received from a medical imaging system is sampled at a predetermined sampling rate. The maximum magnitude, i.e., peak, and/or the occurrence time of the maximum magnitude of the first pulse of the input signal is/are determined using a nonlinear recursive filter. Predicted magnitude values of the tail of the first pulse can be determined and subtracted from the input signal to correct for pileup before determining the maximum magnitude and/or occurrence time of the next pulses. A medical image can be reconstructed using the determined maximum magnitudes and/or the occurrence times of the maximum magnitudes of the pulses of the input signal. The nonlinear recursive filter can be implemented using one or more look-up tables.
