    Abstract Background: Sugarcane juice, which has a short shelf life, is a popular thirst-quenching and rejuvenating beverage worldwide. The limited shelf life is a result of changes in polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, total plate count (TPC) and color attributes (L*, a* and b*-values). We hypothesized that chemical kinetics and thermodynamics of blanched sugarcane cane juice causing alterations in PPO, TPC, and L, a* and b*-values will address the challenges of sugarcane juice preservation.
    Results: Sugarcane billets were blanched at variable time-temperature combinations in the range 0-20 min and 70-90 °C. Reaction rates increased with increasing temperature; PPO activity, TPC and colour followed first-order kinetics. PPO activity had an activation energy (Ea) of 81 kJ mol
    Conclusion: The results of the present study indicate that studies on chemical kinetics and thermodynamics (PPO, TPC and L, a* and b*-values) of blanched sugarcane cane juice shall mitigate challenges of sugarcane juice preservation. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

    Abstract This study is the first study to incorporate a novel approach to single-implant-retained mandibular overdenture with a bar attachment on a single implant in the symphysis region. The use of a single-implant-retained bar overdenture significantly improved patients' chewing efficiency, indicating enhanced overdenture retention and stability.
    Materials and methods: Ten maxillary and mandibular completely edentulous patients were enrolled in the study. A complete denture was fabricated for them. On completion, bite force, retention force, and bone change were recorded. Bite force was recorded with the strain gauge, retention force with the force measurement gauge, and bone changes with radiographs.
    Conclusion: Single-implant-supported bar mandibular overdenture (SISBOD) can be a suitable standard economic option for edentulous mandible and can greatly improve the quality of life of patients.

    Abstract Fresh sugarcane juice packed with sugars, minerals, phytonutrients, antioxidants and proteins is vulnerable to quality losses caused by enzymatic inversion, chemical interactions and microbiological intrusions. Three temperatures (70, 80 and 90 °C) and four time interval combinations (5, 10, 15 and 20 min) were used to thermally blanch sugarcane billets for comparing the effects on physio‐biochemical, microbiological and sensory properties of juice recovered. The optimum and acceptable combination determined was 90 °C for 10 min. The physio‐biochemical parameters vis a vis pH (5.03), titratable acidity (0.198%), electrical conductivity (4.77 mScm⁻¹), total soluble solids (20.67°B), sucrose (18.19%), reducing sugar (0.38%), total plate count (4.42 cfu ml⁻¹), residual PPO activity (12.21%) and colour (L*, b*, chroma) along with sensory profile was most acceptable. A 9‐point hedonic ratings of blanched SCJ retained appearance (9), taste (9), aroma (8.8) and quantitative descriptive analysis showed a close resemblance with fresh sugarcane juice.

    Abstract Salivary gland tumours are rare in children. We present the case of an infant who presented with a progressively increasing swelling of short duration in the parotid region accompanied by a small preauricular cutaneous haemangioma. Failing to comply with the commoner diagnoses like parotitis, help of imaging was taken that pointed towards the rarer diagnosis of parotid haemangioma. The child was started on oral propranolol and dramatic reduction in parotid and cutaneous swelling was seen after three months of therapy without any side effects.

    Abstract Objective: The objective of this systematic review is to analyse the randomised control trials (RCTs) comparing the self-gripping mesh (SGM) with sutured mesh fixation (SMF) in open inguinal hernia repair.
    Materials and methods: RCTs comparing SGM with SMF in open inguinal hernia repair were selected from medical electronic databases and analysis was performed using the principles of meta-analysis with RevMan version 5 statistical software.
    Results: Seventeen RCTs involving 3863 patients were used for the final analysis. In the random effect model analysis, the operative time [mean difference - 7.72, 95 %, CI (-9.08, -6.35), Z = 11.07,
    Conclusion: SGM failed to demonstrate a clinical advantage over SMF in terms of perioperative outcomes although the duration of surgery was shorter in SGM.

    Abstract Background: Living with hypertension (HTN) has been found to cause distress, which adversely affects one's self-care and may lead to elevated blood pressure. There is a paucity of data regarding the prevalence of HTN-related distress. This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of HTN-related distress among adults with HTN attending an outpatient department in an urban primary health centre and to determine the factors associated with distress.
    Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at the outpatient department of an urban primary health centre in Delhi, India. The enrolled participants were administered a questionnaire, which included a Distress Scale for patients with diabetes mellitus and/or hypertension (DSDH17 M) (to assess for HTN-related distress) and Health-Related Quality of Life, Healthy Days Measure. A descriptive analysis was performed. Factors associated with HTN-related distress were tested using logistic regression.
    Results: One hundred forty-one participants were enrolled in this study. Most were women (73.76%) with a mean age of 60.15 years (standard deviation [SD]: 0.78). The prevalence of HTN-related distress (average DSDH17 M score ≥3) was 14% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 9.30-21.03). Patients with HTN-related distress had significantly poor health and reported a greater number of days where they were physically or mentally unhealthy. Patients with uncontrolled blood pressure had six times the odds (95% CI: 1.69-21.77,
    Conclusions: Hypertension-related distress was present in 14% of adults with HTN. Patients with uncontrolled blood pressure had six times the odds of HTN-related distress.

    Abstract Introduction: While lifelong and strict adherence to gluten-free diet (GFD) is essential for the successful treatment of celiac disease (CeD), only 30-50% of patients are able to maintain a good adherence to GFD. We determined factors influencing the adherence to GFD at various ecological levels including intra-personal, inter-personal, organizational, community and system-based levels in adult patients with CeD.
    Methods: A questionnaire to assess the adherence was developed and it was administered in the CeD clinic to patients with CeD on GFD for >1 year. Adherence to GFD was assessed in a subset of patients (n = 320) using Celiac Disease Adherence Test (CDAT).
    Results: Overall, 978 patients [median age: 29 years; females: 592] with CeD on GFD were recruited. They reported many barriers to adherence to GFD including intra-personal barriers such as lack of knowledge about GFD (19%), inadequate financial resources (27.2%) and lack of self-motivation/confidence (55.3%); inter-personal barriers such as intake of gluten-containing food upon forceful insistence of friends/family (23.4%); organizational barriers such as high cost (70.8%) and non-availability of GF-food products (48.6%); community-based barriers like consumption of gluten-containing food at religious occasions/festivals (11.1%) and social occasions (27.2%); and system-based barriers such as non-referral to dietitian for counseling (21.9%). As per CDAT, 204 (63.7%), 73(22.8%) and 43(13.4%) patients had good, average, and poor adherence to GFD, respectively. On multivariable analysis, occasional consumption of gluten, non-availability of GF-food while dining out and coercing by family and friends for consumption of GC-food were found to have highest odds for poor adherence to GFD.
    Conclusions: Non-referral to a dietitian for counseling, irregular follow-up visits, unavailability of flour mill, non-supportive family/friends, high cost and limited availability of GF-food are the most common barriers to adherence to GFD. There is a need to create infrastructure and develop strategies to overcome these diverse barriers at various levels of ecosystem and thereby facilitate better adherence to GFD.
