    Abstract Myeloid Sarcomas are rare tumours of myeloid origin that may infiltrate multiple sites of the body. They may precede acute myeloid leukaemia or present without it. It has non-specific manifestations and presents as a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge owing to the limited literature that reports consensus on diagnostic and treatment strategies. Immunohistochemistry is of significance in identifying the disease and acute myeloid leukaemia protocols of systemic therapy remain the mainstay of the treatment. Our report of an 11-year-old child with myeloid sarcoma aims to add to the limited existing literature and describe the varied presentation and sites of involvement.

    Abstract Respected Editor, Sudden outbreaks of transpiring viral infections are putting human race into great danger. Different outbreaks in the past such as those of Influenza, Ebola, and Zika viruses and the most recent novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), continue to remind us of our constant vulnerability and warrant constant preparedness [1]. Emerging infections could be defined as the ones whose occurrence has increased in the last few years and threatens to increase in the for-coming years. Outbreaks of disease can be initiated by the transmission of a novel pathogen, or due to reemergence of a known pathogen [2]. Viral outbreaks are unpredictable because they result from multifaceted interaction between the virus, vector, host and environment [3]. Outbreaks are likely to cause fast transmission of disease which might cause high morbidity in those affected. SoutheastAsia is at a greater risk for the outbreak of pathogenic viruses [2]. Evolutionary changes in pathogens especially viral genetic change that allows cross-species transmission is the basis of zoonosis which puts humans at risk of infecting viruses of animal origin, such was the case in previous outbreaks [4]. This is aided by social and environmental factors - such as increasing global population, rapid urbanization, climate change and, increased susceptibility to infections due to an aging population worldwide - that favor incidence of new viral infections [2]. Quick and precise recognition of emergent pathogens is necessary for rapid countermeasures, better clinical management, and to reduce the extent of these viral infections. For detection, development of diagnostic tests that are cost effective, quick and error free, is essential [2]. One of the widely used molecular method is a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for identification of viruses; it is rapid, cost-effective, and simple [4]. The capability of viruses to cross species barriers, acclimatize to different environments, and to resist existing ...

    Abstract The elimination of hazardous industrial pollutants from aqueous solutions is an emerging area of scientific research and a worldwide problem. An efficient catalyst, Ag-CuO was synthesized for the degradation of methylene blue, the chemical sensing of ammonia. A simple novel synthetic method was reported in which new plant material Capparis decidua was used for the reduction and stabilization of the synthesized nanocatalyst. A Varying amount of Ag was doped into CuO to optimize the best catalyst that met the required objectives. Through this, the Ag-CuO nanocomposite was characterized by XRD, SEM, HR-TEM, EDX, and FTIR techniques. The mechanism of increased catalytic activity with Ag doping involves the formation of charge sink and suppression of drop back probability of charge from conduction to valance band. Herein, 2.7 mol % Ag-CuO exhibited better catalytic activities and it was used through subsequent catalytic experiments. The experimental conditions such as pH, catalyst dose, analyte initial concentration, and contact time were optimized. The as-synthesized nanocomposite demonstrates an excellent degradation efficacy of MB which is 97% at pH 9. More interestingly, the as-synthesized catalyst was successfully applied for the chemical sensing of ammonia even at very low concentrations. The lower limit of detection (LLOD) also called analytic sensitivity was calculated for ammonia sensing and found to be 1.37 ppm.

    Abstract The infiltration of information and technology in all the important sectors of the world has influenced the efflux of data. Healthcare industry has greatly benefited more the blessings of advanced computing. This sector is getting digitized at a fast rate for more precision and accuracy. Hence, more data is produced from the healthcare sector. In this review paper, we discuss Big data's importance in the healthcare industry. We go over the qualities of big data, including volume, veracity, speed, variety, and value. The healthcare industry has been touched by big data in practically every way. The diagnosis, telemedicine, medical research, and enhancing patient care are the remaining key effects. The application of Big data gave rise to many challenges such as accuracy, security and privacy, storage and processing, data complexity, unified format, image preprocessing and data analytics. We also intend to investigate further big data uses in healthcare and to highlight the difficulties this industry faces

    Abstract Seizures, not a typical feature of hypoparathyroidism, may present along with myalgia and tetany in patients of hypoparathyroidism. Thorough history and examination, derangement of biochemical parameters such as hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and inappropriately low levels of parathyroid hormone, along with basal ganglia calcification as seen on imaging, lead to the diagnosis of hypoparathyroidism in a 10-year-old child who presented to us. Treatment with calcium and active vitamin D significantly improved his condition. In this report, we discuss the presentation and treatment of hypoparathyroidism. Early detection and follow-up at clinically appropriate intervals is important to avoid complications.

    Abstract Data-independent acquisition (DIA) based strategies have been explored in recent years for improving quantitative analysis of metabolites. However, the data analysis is challenging for DIA methods as the resulting spectra are highly multiplexed. Thus, the DIA mode requires advanced software analysis to facilitate the data deconvolution process. We proposed a pipeline for quantitative profiling of pharmaceutical drugs and serum metabolites in DIA mode after comparing the results obtained from full-scan, Data-dependent acquisition (DDA) and DIA modes. using open-access software. Pharmaceutical drugs (10) were pooled in healthy human serum and analysed by LC-ESI-QTOF-MS. MS1 full-scan and Data-dependent (MS2) results were used for identification using MS-DIAL software while deconvolution of MS1/MS2 spectra in DIA mode was achieved by using Skyline software. The results of acquisition methods for quantitative analysis validated the remarkable analytical performance of the constructed workflow, proving it to be a sensitive and reproducible pipeline for biological complex fluids.

    Abstract Metabolomics has been used as a powerful tool for the analysis, and drug-lead identification in medicinal plants and herbal medicines. For the coverage of a broader range of plant-based metabolites using LC-MS, one of the important parameters is the selection of analysis mode and data processing for identification. This paper describes the utility of two distinctive acquisition modes in combination, a classic data-dependent acquisition (DDA) mode and a data-independent acquisition (DIA) mode for obtaining the mass spectrometry data of plant extracts using LC-ESI-QTOF/MS. Tribulus terrestris plant was used as a case study. We have applied three-step data analysis pipeline 1-annotation and putative identification of metabolites, 2-validation, and relative quantification, and 3-multivariate analysis using open-access MS-DIAL, Skyline, and Perseus software. A total of four samples of T. terrestris (aqueous extracts), two fruits, and two whole plant samples, from two different regions, were used. By combining data analysis results of plant fruit samples from two different regions, a total of 95 and 77 metabolites were identified in positive and negative ionization modes, respectively. Similarly, in the analysis of the whole plant from two different regions, 75 and 76 metabolites were identified in positive and negative ionization modes, respectively. We suggested the use of DDA mode for annotation, identification of metabolites, and generation of transition lists in MS-DIAL, furthermore, the use of DIA acquisition mode for enhancing metabolites sensitivity in complex samples, deconvolute MS1/MS2 spectra in Skyline for the quantitative performance and analytical reliability. The developed protocol can be used for the broader coverage of plant-based metabolites.
