    Abstract This study explores the interrelationship between FDI, institutional factors, financial development and sustainability by revisiting the pollution haven (or halo) hypotheses. The data is sourced from the World Development Indicators (WDI) database over the period of 1990-2016, covering 21 developed and developing countries with high carbon emissions. The study uses dynamic panel data estimations by applying the generalized method of moments (GMM) and system-generalized methods of moments (Sys-GMM) over sample countries. The results indicate that FDI has a significant positive impact on environmental degradation. There is evidence of pollution haven hypotheses, especially in developing countries. We contribute to existing literature by revisiting the Environment Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis and presenting the effect of FDI on carbon intensity in the light of institutional factors and financial development. The findings relating to FDI, institutional factors and financial development may cause researchers and policymakers to reiterate the sustainability dimension of foreign capital inflows in both developed and developing countries. We propose the policy framework to include a mandatory Statement of Environmental Disclosures for both listed and unlisted home and host companies at the time of their origin, expansion and fund raising in order to achieve sustainable business goals (SBGs).

    Abstract The early detection of some diseases can be a decisive factor in postponing or stabilizing their most adverse effects on the people who suffer from them. In the case of glaucoma, which is an ocular pathology that is the second leading cause of blindness in the world, early detection can make the difference between a patient's complete losses of vision, or preserve their sight, as well as improve their subsequent treatment. It is for this reason that there are currently medical campaigns for the early detection of pathologies with these characteristics in a certain study population, called screening, which have shown very good results. In addition, the application of telemedicine to these processes has allowed remote evaluation of cases by clinical experts and numerous initiatives have emerged for its use in new screening strategies. On the other hand, biomedical image processing techniques based on deep learning have undergone great development in recent years, and there are several works that have demonstrated their possible application in the automatic detection of glaucoma with fundus images. The article has consisted of the development of a web platform that integrates both scenarios: on the one hand, the remote evaluation of fundus images by medical specialists, and on the other, the application of a tool based on Deep Learning for the automatic detection of glaucoma in the case studies.

    Abstract The stark racial disparities related to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in the United States, wherein minority populations are disproportionately getting infected and succumbing to the disease, is of grave concern. It is critical to understand and address the underlying causes of these disparities that are complex and driven by interacting environmental, social and biological factors. In this article we focus on the African American community and examine how social and environmental determinants of health intersect with biological factors (comorbidities, underlying genetics, host immunity, vitamin D levels, epigenetics) to exacerbate risk for morbidity and mortality.

    Abstract Viola odorata, also known as "Banafshah" in high altitudes of Himalayas, is well known for its pharmaceutical importance in Ayurvedic and Unani medicinal system. The plant is a source of various drugs for its anti-inflammatory, diaphoretic, diuretic, emollient, expectorant, antipyretic, and laxative properties. The endophytes of plants have been reported for their role in modulating various physiological and biological processes of the host plants. In the present study, a total of 244 endophytes were isolated in pure cultures from the roots of Viola odorata, and genetic diversity was evaluated using amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) and enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC). The molecular fingerprinting revealed variation among various rRNA types among morphologically different endophytes based on ARDRA and ERIC-PCR. The screening of endophytes showed antimicrobial activity of 11 bacterial isolates and one actinomycete SGA9 against various pathogens Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The antioxidant activity revealed the majority of the bacterial isolates able to scavenge the free radical in the range of 10-50% and 8 bacterial isolates in the range of 50-85%. Principal component analysis separated eight isolates away from the central eclipse and form a separate group based on antimicrobial and antioxidant potential. The identification of these eight isolates showed affiliation with different species of the genus Enterobacter, Microbacterium, Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, and Streptomyces. This is the first report on the characterization of endophytic bacteria and actinomycetes from endemic Viola odorata. Results suggested that these endophytes could be explored for the production of antimicrobial and antioxidant products.

    Abstract Cefepime is a common antibiotic used to treat various infections such as pneumonia, skin infections, and intra-abdominal infections due to its broad gram-positive and gram-negative spectrum. However, patients with acute kidney injury, end-stage renal disease, and renal transplantation are disproportionately at higher risk of developing complications from administration of cefepime, secondary to its predominant renal excretion. Current guidelines prescribe cefepime renal-dosing, dependent on the glomerular filtration rate, to prevent toxicity. This study presents a rare case where an acutely hospitalized patient undergoing chronic renal transplant rejection was administered renal-dose cefepime. Despite renal dosing, the patient developed neurotoxicity that manifested as delirium, inability to tolerate oral intake, and non-convulsive status epilepticus. Solely adjusting for renal dysfunction may be inadequate to prevent the accumulation of cefepime metabolites, which may present in an atypical manner in the patient. Such possibilities emphasize the need for continued evaluation of a patient's mentation in case of cefepime administration. Cefepime-induced neurotoxicity incidences need to be evaluated and researched thoroughly.

    Abstract Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute and major complication of diabetes mellitus. Neurological complications can be seen at any time during the course of illness and range from decreased consciousness to ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. Acute neuropathy is very rare in this milieu. Here, we report a case of a 40-year-old patient, who developed a left-sided wrist drop after being treated for DKA. The nerve conduction velocity studies demonstrated decreased action potential amplitude in only the motor component of the left radial nerve. Other possible causes of the complaint were ruled out and the patient was managed with cock-up splint, vitamin B1 and B6 supplementation, and physiotherapy. Despite all these measures, the patient had minimal improvement. Thus, close monitoring of patients is crucial to identify these infirmities, even after the acute condition has resolved.

    Abstract We are reporting an unusual case of cavitatory pulmonary mucormycosis in a patient with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus who was treated successfully. This is a unique case of pulmonary mucormycosis masquerading as cavitatory pulmonary disease. A 45-year-old female presented with fever, chest pain, cough and breathlessness. She was also found to have very high blood glucose due to previously undiagnosed diabetes. Diabetic ketoacidosis is the most common predisposing factor for mucormycosis. Our patient had uncontrolled diabetes and presented with bilateral cavitatory pulmonary lesions even in the absence of diabetic ketoacidosis. Appropriate investigations were ordered, and alternate causes of lung cavitation were diligently excluded. She was treated with amphotericin-B for three weeks followed by oral posaconazole for eight weeks with excellent outcome. A low threshold for detection as well as a differential of mucormycosis must be kept in immunocompromised patients presenting with cavitatory lung disease.
