    Abstract Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an emerging class of porous nanomaterials that have opened new research possibilities. The inherent characteristics of MOFs such as their large surface area, high porosity, tunable pore size, stability, facile synthetic strategies and catalytic nature have made them promising materials for enormous number of applications, including fuel storage, energy conversion, separation, and gas purification. Recently, their high potential as ideal platforms for biomolecule immobilization has been discovered. MOF-enzyme-based materials have attracted the attention of researchers from all fields with the expansion of MOFs development, paving way for the fabrication of bioelectrochemical devices with unique characteristics. MOFs-based bioelectrodes have steadily gained interest, wherein MOFs can be utilized for improved biomolecule immobilization, electrolyte membranes, fuel storage, biocatalysis and biosensing. Likewise, applications of MOFs in point-of-care diagnostics, including self-powered biosensors, are exponentially increasing. This paper reviews the current trends in the fabrication of MOFs-based bioelectrodes with emphasis on their applications in biosensors and biofuel cells.

    Abstract The unique functionality of Akkermansia muciniphila in gut microbiota indicates it to be an indispensable microbe for human welfare. The importance of A. muciniphila lies in its potential to convert mucin into beneficial by-products, regulate intestinal homeostasis and maintain gut barrier integrity. It is also known to competitively inhibit other mucin-degrading bacteria and improve metabolic functions and immunity responses in the host. It finds a pivotal perspective in various diseases and their treatment. It has future as a promising probiotic, disease biomarker and therapeutic agent for chronic diseases. Disease-associated dysbiosis of A. muciniphila in the gut microbiome makes it a potential candidate as a biomarker for some diseases and can provide future theranostics by suggesting ways of diagnosis for the patients and best treatment method based on the screening results. Manipulation of A. muciniphila in gut microbiome may help in developing a novel personalized therapeutic action and can be a suitable next generation medicine. However, the actual pathway governing A. muciniphila interaction with hosts remains to be investigated. Also, due to the limited availability of products containing A. muciniphila, it is not exploited to its full potential. The present review aims at highlighting the potential of A. muciniphila in mucin degradation, contribution towards the gut health and host immunity and management of metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, and respiratory diseases such as cystic fibrosis and COVID-19.

    Abstract Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPN-B) is a rare preinvasive intraductal pathology of the biliary tract. It should be differentiated from other more common benign or malignant causes of biliary obstruction and dilatation such as calculi or cholangiocarcinoma because the management and prognosis of this condition differs significantly. This case report describes a case of IPN-B in a 45-year-old female patient who presented with non-specific complaints of chronic abdominal pain without jaundice for three months.

    Abstract Case presentation: A 16-year-old girl presented to the ED with complaints of loose stools, abdominal pain, and rash over her legs for the last 7 days. There was no history of fever, vomiting, oral ulcers, or mucosal bleeds. In the past, she had received a diagnosis of asthma. She had been taking oral montelukast every day for the past year and using a formoterol-budesonide dry powder inhaler irregularly, only during episodes of acute exacerbations. There was a history of significant but undocumented weight loss. On day 3 of hospital admission, she developed numbness over her right foot.

    Abstract Cilnidipine (CND), an anti-hypertensive drug, possesses low oral bioavailability due to its poor aqueous solubility, low dissolution rate, and high gut wall metabolism. In the present study, an attempt has been made to prepare CND loaded polycaprolactone based nanoparticles (CND-PCL-NPs) by nanoprecipitation method applying the concepts of Design of Experiments. Critical factors affecting particle size and loading efficiency (LE%) were assessed by a hybrid design approach, comprising of Mini Run Resolution IV design followed by Box-Behnken design. Particle size, PDI, zeta potential and LE% of optimized formulations of CND-PCL-NPs were 220.3 ± 2.6 nm, 0.25 ± 0.1, -19.5 ± 0.9 mV, and 46.4 ± 1.8%, respectively. No significant changes were observed in the physical stability of nanoparticles when stored at 25 °C/60% RH over a period of 3 months. Oral pharmacokinetic studies revealed that

    Abstract Cilnidipine (CND), an anti-hypertensive drug, is known to have low oral bioavailability due to its poor aqueous solubility, low dissolution rate and high gut wall metabolism. In the present study, CND loaded compritol based nanoparticles (CND-CMP-NPs) were prepared by emulsification-solvent evaporation method applying the concepts of design of experiments. Critical factors affecting particle size and loading efficiency (LE%) were assessed by hybrid design approach, comprising of Mini Run Resolution IV design followed by Box-Behnken design. Particle size, PDI, zeta potential and LE% of optimized formulations of CND-CMP-NPs were 207.1 ± 2.9 nm, 0.27 ± 0.1, -22.2 ± 1.9 mV and 15.9 ± 1.3% respectively.

    Abstract Over the past decade, endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has become an indispensable tool in the diagnostic armamentarium of the pulmonologist. As the expertise with EBUS-TBNA has evolved and several innovations have occurred, the indications for its use have expanded. However, several aspects of EBUS-TBNA are still not standardized. Hence, evidence-based guidelines are needed to optimize the diagnostic yield and safety of EBUS-TBNA. For this purpose, a working group of experts from India was constituted. A detailed and systematic search was performed to extract relevant literature pertaining to various aspects of EBUS-TBNA. The modified GRADE system was used for evaluating the level of evidence and assigning the strength of recommendations. The final recommendations were framed with the consensus of the working group after several rounds of online discussions and a two-day in-person meeting. These guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations encompassing indications of EBUS-TBNA, pre-procedure evaluation, sedation and anesthesia, technical and procedural aspects, sample processing, EBUS-TBNA in special situations, and training for EBUS-TBNA.
