    Abstract Background: In dermatologic and procedural surgery settings, there are commonly encountered devices in patients. Safe surgical planning requires familiarity with these devices.
    Objective: To review the current implanted devices in patients and recommendations for surgical planning around these devices.
    Methods and materials: A comprehensive review using PubMed and published device recommendations was performed, searching for those most relevant to dermatologic surgery.
    Results: Devices such as pacemakers and implantable cardiac defibrillators, deep brain stimulators, cochlear implants, and various nerve stimulators are potential devices that may be encountered in patients and specific recommendations exist for each of these devices.
    Conclusion: Dermatologic surgeons' knowledge of implanted devices in patients is paramout to safe surgical procedures.

    Abstract Background: Neuropsychological Rehabilitation (NR) helps manage cognitive deficits in epilepsy. As internationally developed programs have limited applicability to resource-limited countries, we developed a program to bridge this gap. This 6-week caregiver-assisted, culturally suitable program has components of (1) psychoeducation, (2) compensatory training, and, (3) cognitive retraining and is called EMPOWER (Indigenized Home Based Attention and Memory Rehabilitation Program for Adult Patients with Drug Refractory Epilepsy). Its efficacy needs to be determined.
    Methods: We carried out an open-label parallel randomized controlled trial. Adults aged 18-45 years with Drug Refractory Epilepsy (DRE), fluency in Hindi and or English, with impaired attention or memory (n = 28) were randomized to Intervention Group (IG) and Control Group (CG). The primary outcomes were objective memory (Auditory Verbal Learning Test), patient and caregiver reported everyday memory difficulties (Everyday Memory Questionnaire-Revised), number of memory aids in use, depression (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale), anxiety (Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale) and quality of life (Quality of Life in Epilepsy-31). Intention to treat was carried out for group analysis. In the absence of norms necessary for computing Reliable Change Indices (RCIs), a cut-off of +1.0 Standard Deviation (SD) was utilized to identify clinically meaningful changes in the individual analysis of objective memory. A cut-off of 11.8 points was used for quality of life. Feedback and program evaluation responses were noted.
    Results: The majority of the sample comprised DRE patients with temporal lobe epilepsy who had undergone epilepsy surgery. Group analysis indicated improved learning (p = 0.013), immediate recall (p = 0.001), delayed recall (p < 0.001), long-term retention (p = 0.031), patient-reported everyday memory (p < 0.001), caregiver-reported everyday memory (p < 0.001), anxiety (p = 0.039) and total quality of life (p < 0.001). Individual analysis showed improvement in 50 %, 64 %, 71 %, 57 %, and 64 % of patients on learning, immediate recall, delayed recall, long-term retention, and total quality of life respectively. Despite improvements, themes indicative of a lack of awareness and understanding of cognitive deficits were identified. Overall, the program was rated favorably by patients and caregivers alike.
    Conclusion: NR shows promise for patients with DRE, however larger studies are warranted. The role of cognition in epilepsy needs to be introduced at the time of diagnosis to help lay the foundation for education and acceptance.

    Abstract We present a case of a 72-year-old man who was found to have intravascular invasion during Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) on the left side of the forehead. The patient was subsequently treated with adjuvant radiation without evidence of disease recurrence. We present a case review to discuss treatment options for high-risk features of cSCC with the aim to assist in treatment guidelines.

    Abstract COVID-19 caused devastating effects of human loss and suffering along with disruption in clinical research, forcing reconceptualization and modification of studies. This paper attempts to outline the steps followed and detail the modifications undertaken to deal with the impacts of the pandemic on the first ongoing randomized controlled trial on effectiveness of neuropsychological rehabilitation in adult patients with drug-resistant epilepsy in India. All modifications were based on evolving guidelines and circumstantial context and were planned, reviewed and approved by important stakeholders. Results obtained from the trial need to be interpreted and analysed within this context. These modifications have implications for wider outreach of neuropsychology services in India.

    Abstract Autoinflammatory diseases, including CAPS, TRAPS, HIDS, FMF, Blau, and CANDLE, have unique dermatologic presentations that can be a clue to diagnosis. Although these conditions are rare, the morbidity and mortality can be severe, and well-informed physicians can place these conditions in their differential diagnosis when familiar with the dermatologic manifestations. This review article presents a brief overview of each condition, clues to diagnosis that focus of dermatologic manifestations and clinical images, basic laboratory tests and follow-up, a brief review of treatments, and concludes with an overview for these autoinflammatory conditions and their differential diagnoses.

    Abstract The advancement in nanotechnology has enabled a significant expansion in agricultural production. Agri-nanotechnology is an emerging discipline where nanotechnological methods provide diverse nanomaterials (NMs) such as nanopesticides, nanoherbicides, nanofertilizers and different nanoforms of agrochemicals for agricultural management. Applications of nanofabricated products can potentially improve the shelf life, stability, bioavailability, safety and environmental sustainability of active ingredients for sustained release. Nanoscale modification of bulk or surface properties bears tremendous potential for effective enhancement of agricultural productivity. As NMs improve the tolerance mechanisms of the plants under stressful conditions, they are considered as effective and promising tools to overcome the constraints in sustainable agricultural production. For their exceptional qualities and usages, nano-enabled products are developed and enforced, along with agriculture, in diverse sectors. The rampant usage of NMs increases their release into the environment. Once incorporated into the environment, NMs may threaten the stability and function of biological systems. Nanotechnology is a newly emerging technology, so the evaluation of the associated environmental risk is pivotal. This review emphasizes the current approach to NMs synthesis, their application in agriculture, interaction with plant-soil microbes and environmental challenges to address future applications in maintaining a sustainable environment.

    Abstract The increased global food insecurity due to the growing population can be addressed with precision and sustainable agricultural practices. To tackle the issues regarding food insecurity, farmers used different agrochemicals that improved plant growth and protection. Among these agrochemicals, synthetic pesticides used for plant protection in the agricultural field have various disadvantages. Conventional applications of synthetic pesticides have drawbacks such as rapid degradation, poor solubility, and non-target effects, as well as increased pesticide runoff that pollutes the environment. Nanotechnology has evolved as a potential solution to increase agricultural productivity through the development of different nanoforms of agrochemicals such as nanopesticides, nano-fabricated fertilizers, nanocapsules, nanospheres, nanogels, nanofibers, nanomicelles, and nano-based growth promoters. Encapsulation of these pesticides inside the nanomaterials has provided good biocompatibility over conventional application by inhibiting the early degradation of active ingredients (AI), increasing the uptake and adhesion of pesticides, improving the stability, solubility, and permeability of the pesticides, and decreasing the environmental impacts due to the pesticide runoff. In this review, different nanoforms of encapsulated pesticides and their smart delivery systems; nanocarriers in RNA interference (RNAi) based pesticides; environmental fate, practical implications, management of nanopesticides; and future perspectives are discussed.
