Journal ArticleDOI

Cobalt nanoparticles for biomedical applications: Facile synthesis, physiochemical characterization, cytotoxicity behavior and biocompatibility

Sumayya M. Ansari, +7 more
- 31 Aug 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple one-step hydrothermal method with the capping of oleic acid was used to produce cobalt (Co) nanoparticles with a high structural quality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunochromatographic strip-test detection of anti-K39 antibody in Indian visceral leishmaniasis

Shyam Sundar, +4 more
- 01 Jan 2002 - 
TL;DR: If applied in a practical clinical setting (on symptomatic patients in whom active VL is suspected and other common infections have been excluded), strip testing of serum for anti-K39 antibody should be both sensitive and specific for diagnosing VL in India.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Recombinant K39 Antigen in Diagnosis and Prognosis of Indian Visceral Leishmaniasis

Rajiv Kumar, +3 more
- 01 Nov 2001 - 
TL;DR: The extremely high levels of anti-rK39 antibodies in VL cases suggest the application of rK 39 for sensitive and specific serodiagnosis, and rK39 ELISA is also valuable in monitoring drug therapy and detecting relapse of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of leishmanial antigen in the urine of patients with visceral leishmaniasis by a latex agglutination test

Shyam Sundar, +4 more
- 01 Aug 2005 - 
TL;DR: A new latex agglutination test, which detects parasite antigen in freshly voided and boiled urine, was evaluated in patients with VL and in a simplified and improved format it could be applied meaningfully in the diagnosis of VL.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resistance to treatment in Kala-azar: speciation of isolates from northeast India.

Shyam Sundar, +6 more
- 01 Sep 2001 - 
TL;DR: The rising incidence of clinical resistance to treatment is unlikely to be due to a different species causing kala-azar in north Bihar, as all 159 isolates shown to be L. donovani were resistant to antimony.
