    Abstract Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a common surgical-related complication. To avoid these complications, a new biodegradable polymer-lipid encapsulation matrix that provides controlled release of doxycycline (doxycycline/polymer-lipid encapsulation matrix [D-PLEX]) has been developed. The aim of this comprehensive study was to evaluate the potential safety of D-PLEX

    Abstract Background: Vitamin D is associated with many skeletal-related processes in the body. A major health problem concerning decreased quality of life is chronic low back pain (LBP). Many studies have proved that chronic pain improves with Vitamin D supplementation. This study aimed to explore the correlation between vitamin D levels and the occurrence of LBP in women aged 30 to 40.
    Materials and methods: A case-control study was taken up at PK Das Institute of Medical Sciences wherein 50 cases (women aged 30-34 years who had chronic LBP >3 months) and 50 age-matched controls were included. Frequencies of Vitamin D deficiency, inadequacy, and sufficiency were studied. The t-test for examining statistical significance was employed to compare means. Keeping a 95% confidence interval (p<0.05), the odds ratio was calculated.
    Results: Vitamin D deficiency diagnosed when Vitamin D level is <20ng/mL was found in 74% of cases and 48% of controls. Vitamin D levels were not found to be statistically different between cases and controls. The odds ratio was found to be 3.083 (p=0.009), showing that participants with LBP are more expected to be deficient in Vitamin D compared to those without LBP.
    Conclusions: Although a higher frequency of Vitamin D deficiency was found in cases compared to controls, the mean value of Vitamin D levels was not found to be statistically different amongst cases and controls. A significant Odds ratio establishes a positive association between LBP and Vitamin D deficiency. The reason could be due to most people being restricted indoors due to COVID-19 restrictions. It is essential to standardize the biochemical analysis of Vitamin D and establish appropriate Vitamin D level ranges specifically tailored for the Indian population.

    Abstract Background: Many clinical factors can contribute to the efficacy of medical therapy in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). We assessed their effects on the efficacy of vedolizumab therapy in a cohort of patients with IBD.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on patients between 18 and 80 years of age with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) who were seen in the IBD program at Houston Methodist in Houston, TX and treated with vedolizumab for at least 6 months from 2018 to 2022. We investigated factors prior to the initiation of therapy that best predicted treatment response, with an emphasis on vitamin D levels and examined several variables including patients' demographics and clinical information on disease location and severity and nutritional status before and after the initiation of vedolizumab. Post-treatment data were gathered after a minimum of 6 months of vedolizumab therapy. The clinical parameters used for the study were the Harvey-Bradshaw Index for CD and the Activity Index for UC.
    Results: There were 88 patients included in our study of whom 44 had CD and 44 had UC.; median age was 39.5 (31.0, 53.25) years; 34% patients were male; and 80.7% were Caucasian. All patients received an induction dosing of 300 mg vedolizumab at 0, 2, and 6 weeks then maintenance dosing as standard of care every 8 weeks. Among UC patients with vitamin D ≥ 30 ng/mL at the initiation of vedolizumab therapy, UC Endoscopic Index of Severity (UCEIS) scores after 6 months of therapy were significantly lower than in those who had low pre-treatment vitamin D levels (1.5 vs. 3.87,
    Conclusions: Our results show higher pre-treatment vitamin D levels predicted significant endoscopic improvement in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Improving vitamin D levels lowered C-reactive protein levels significantly in CD patients. Higher vitamin D levels were seen after treatment in both UC and CD patients. Vitamin D can play a role in clinical and endoscopic outcomes and should be assessed routinely and optimized in patients with IBD.

    Abstract Background: Serum otolin-1 is an inner ear protein exclusively expressed in otoconia and cells of vestibule and cochlea. Serum otolin-1 is found to be quantifiable in patients with BPPV. Low Vitamin-D is associated with pathogenesis of BPPV. Since otoconia degeneration contributes to BPPV, lack of Vitamin-D may impact otoconia structure and integrity.
    Objective: We aimed at studying the s.otolin-1 as biomarker and significance of vit-D in BPPV.
    Material and method: 23 patients in test and control groups respectively were chosen within the age of 20 to 65 years. All the patients were diagnosed using Dix Hallpike menouver and head roll test, patients were treated with appropriate Canal Reposition Menouver (CRM).
    Results: Serum Otolin-1 levels among the test ranged from 366 to 882 pg/mL with mean of 585.17 pg/mL whereas in control group ranged from 223 to 462 pg/mL with mean of 335.26 pg/mL. Mean Vitamin-D levels among the test group was 22.67 ng/mL (Range = 6.3-68.4) and that of control 15.43 pg/mL (Range = 5.4-27.7) respectively. The relationship between the serum Otolin-1 and Vitamin-D was not statistically significant.
    Conclusion: Otolin-1 levels is increased in BPPV patients and is sensitive in BPPV, specificity needs to be validated. Role of vitamin-D with respect to inner ear proteins needs further investigation.
