    Abstract Quantum Monte Carlo simulations are powerful and versatile tools for the quantum many-body problem. In addition to the usual calculations of energies and eigenstate observables, quantum Monte Carlo simulations can in principle be used to build fast and accurate many-body emulators using eigenvector continuation or design time-dependent Hamiltonians for adiabatic quantum computing. These new applications require something that is missing from the published literature, an efficient quantum Monte Carlo scheme for computing the inner product of ground state eigenvectors corresponding to different Hamiltonians. In this work, we introduce an algorithm called the floating block method, which solves the problem by performing Euclidean time evolution with two different Hamiltonians and interleaving the corresponding time blocks. We use the floating block method and nuclear lattice simulations to build eigenvector continuation emulators for energies of ^{4}He, ^{8}Be, ^{12}C, and ^{16}O nuclei over a range of local and nonlocal interaction couplings. From the emulator data, we identify the quantum phase transition line from a Bose gas of alpha particles to a nuclear liquid.

    Abstract Leukemia is a heterogeneous clonal cancer that affects millions of individuals around the world. Despite substantial breakthroughs in cancer treatment, traditional chemotherapy and radiotherapy remain ineffective, and therapeutic resistance still stands as a big obstacle. As a result, there is an increasing attention being paid currently toward the potency of natural compounds as a complementary or alternative therapy for leukemia. Autophagy, a conserved cellular process where damaged or defective cytosolic components and macromolecules are destroyed and recycled, plays a dual role in promoting or suppressing the continuance of cancer at different junctures of its development. Current studies have reported that autophagy has a cardinal function in the genesis and progression of leukemia, making it a promising target for novel treatments. In this review, we have explored the effectiveness of certain natural compounds, such as curcumin, resveratrol, tanshinone IIA, quercetin, tetrandrine, parthenolide, berberine, pristimerin, and alantolactone, that modulate autophagy and regulate its associated signaling cascades at a molecular level in different types of leukemia. They have been shown to have synergistic effects with conventional chemotherapy, emphasizing their potential as supplementary medicines. However, additional research is required to fully comprehend their mechanisms of action and to maximize their role in clinical perspectives.

    Abstract Purpose: Cataract surgery in microphthalmic eyes is challenging due to anatomical restraints, hard bulky nucleus. This series aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of couching of intraocular lens in irido-fundal coloboma with microphthalmos.
    Setting: Tertiary care centre in South India.
    Design: Retrospective non-comparative study in eyes with irido-fundal coloboma, corneal diameter < 7 mm and brown cataract. Visual acuity less than 6/60 in other eye.
    Methods: Anterior chamber entry made, zonules broken and lens dislocated into the vitreous cavity in a controlled manner. Baseline Clinico-demographic details, corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), Intra-ocular pressure (IOP), corneal diameter, axial length, lens status and post-surgery CDVA, IOP and complications recorded and followed up for atleast 6 months.
    Results: Fifteen eyes of 15 subjects were evaluated with a mean age 49.4 ± 10.9 years. At baseline, mean IOP 14.5 ± 3.8 mmHg, mean axial length 19.3 ± 0.5 mm, mean corneal diameter was 6.5 ± 0.34 mm and CDVA 2 logMAR which improved to 1.5 logMAR at 3 months (p value 0.002). Transient spike in IOP in 33.3% subjects was medically managed with no significant difference in IOP (p > 0.05) at baseline (14.5 ± 3.8 mmHg), 3 months post-surgery (16 ± 2.8 mmHg) and 6 months post-surgery (14.9 ± 2.5 mmHg). One patient underwent re-couching. No other major complications were noted.
    Conclusion: Couching of cataractous lens is an effective and safe method in microphthalmic eyes with irido-fundal coloboma as last resort procedure, where no other surgical procedure may work. It provides an ambulatory gain of visual acuity in previously non-ambulatory subjects. Corneal measurements help in determining the subset of patients where couching offers viable option.

    Abstract Synthetic cell models help us understand living cells and the origin of life. Key aspects of living cells are crowded interiors where secondary structures, such as the cytoskeleton and membraneless organelles/condensates, can form. These can form dynamically and serve structural or functional purposes, such as protection from heat shock or as crucibles for various biochemical reactions. Inspired by these phenomena, we introduce a crowded all-DNA protocell and encapsulate a temperature-switchable DNA-

    Abstract Background: Toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) is an uncommon complication of vitreoretinal surgery and is characterized by severe anterior chamber reaction, hypopyon, and limbus-to-limbus corneal edema.
    Methods: Twenty-nine vitreoretinal surgeries were performed, of which 14 developed TASS in the early postoperative period. The operative records were reviewed retrospectively.
    Results: The median age of patients was 49.07 ± 16.75 years and 14.28% of them were female. Also, 71.42% were operated in the left eye and 42.8% were pseudophakic. Recurrent retinal detachment, secondary scleral-fixating intraocular lens (SFIOL), and silicone oil removal (SOR) were the most common procedures. Severe anterior chamber reaction was seen in 14 patients, circumcorneal congestion in eight, corneal edema in 11 (78.6%), hypopyon in 13 (92.8%), and severe fibrin membrane in two patients.
    Conclusion: We describe the largest series of TASS following uneventful vitreoretinal surgery. Balanced salt solution was the instigating agent in this series. A prompt and thorough investigation is critical in obviating recurrences.

    Abstract Endoscopic bariatric therapies (EBTs) are endoscopic procedures indicated for weight loss in the obese population. They are shown to be safe and effective for patients who do not quality for bariatric surgery. There are currently no randomized controlled studies comparing bariatric surgery with EBTs. However, EBTs are more cost effective and have fewer complications. This review will examine currently available EBTs with published data.
