    Abstract Nutritional deficiencies following malabsorptive surgeries are a major concern.
    Purpose: To present clinical-based, mid-term nutritional outcomes in single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) patients using a nutritional supplement based on the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) guidelines.
    Setting: Single private institute, Australia.
    Materials and methods: Data from 196 patients who underwent a primary SADI-S by a single surgeon from January 2017 through March 2022 were retrospectively analysed. All patients received either original or altered formulated nutritional supplementation throughout the study. In total, three formulae, slightly different from each other, were used at three different time points to formulate the supplement.
    Results: In total, 196 patients were included. The average age and preoperative body mass index were 44.9 ± 6.7 years and 43.6 ± 22.5 kg/m
    Conclusion: Factors, like preoperative and postoperative early, aggressive correction of nutritional deficiencies, regular laboratory monitoring and follow-ups with the multidisciplinary team, and adherence to our formulated nutritional supplement, have contributed to favourable nutritional outcomes at 4 years.

    Abstract Controlling the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), will rely on vaccination at increasing rates and in an equitable manner. The main reasons for under-vaccination are varied among different segments of the population and include vaccine hesitancy and lack of access. While vaccine hesitancy is complicated and requires long-term solutions, access can be enhanced through evidence-based delivery strategies that augment conventional approaches. Hospital-based COVID-19 vaccination programs hold particular promise in reaching populations with decreased vaccine access and those at higher risk for adverse outcomes from SARS-CoV-2 infection. Hospitals have the necessary equipment and storage capabilities to maintain cold chain requirements-a common challenge in the primary care setting-and can serve as a central distribution point for delivering vaccines to patients in diverse hospital locations, including inpatient units, emergency departments, urgent care centers, perioperative areas, and subspecialty clinics. They also have the capacity for mass-vaccination programs and other targeted outreach efforts. Hospital-based programs that have been successful in implementing influenza and other routine vaccinations can leverage existing infrastructure, such as electronic health record-related tools. With the possibility of COVID-19 becoming endemic, much like seasonal influenza, these programs will require flexibility as well as planning for long-term sustainability. This commentary highlights existing vaccine delivery to children in hospital-based settings, including key advantages and important challenges, and outlines how these systems could be expanded to include the COVID-19 vaccine delivery.

    Abstract Introduction: Patients with history of past or active malignancy are at increased risk of contracting the virus and developing Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) related complications. With the global prevalence of cancer and the high transmissibility of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), an understanding of the disease course of COVID-19 and factors influencing clinical outcomes in patients with cancer is necessary and is largely unknown. Aim: To study the laboratory characteristics of patients with malignancy and COVID-19 infection and to evaluate the outcomes in terms of clinical features, severity of infection and mortality of patients with malignancy and COVID-19 infection. Materials and Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional study conducted at Victoria Hospital, Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute, Bangalore, Karnataka, India, involving 72 subjects with COVID-19 infection. The duration of the study was from April 2020 to November 2020. Demographic details and data were collected in patients with active or previous malignancy and COVID-19 illness based on Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) criteria. Clinical outcome of the patients was measured based on need for Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission, oxygen therapy and mortality. Descriptive statistics of the explanatory and outcome variables were calculated as mean, Standard Deviation (SD), median and Interquartile Range (IQR) for quantitative variables, frequency and proportions for qualitative variables. Inferential statistics like Chi-square test was applied for qualitative variables. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 52.10±14.512 years with 29 males and 43 females. Among 72 patients with malignancy, patients were classified as mild (23), moderate (22) and severe (27) according to ICMR case type, respectively. Among the total patients, 21 (29.2%) were asymptomatic and 51 (70.8%) were symptomatic with 26 (36.1%) symptomatic patients having severe disease. Also, 30 (41.7%) had requirement of ...

    Abstract Symptoms of phytoplasma diseases, including witches' brooms, shoot proliferation, little leaf, yellowing and decline were observed in eleven species of bamboos in eight states of India. Symptomatic bamboo samples were indexed for phytoplasma presence using universal phytoplasma‐specific 16S rRNA gene primer pairs. Sequence comparison analysis and virtual RFLP analysis of 16S rRNA sequences indicated that the symptomatic bamboo samples of Dendrocalamus asper, Dendrocalamus strictus and Pseudoxytenanthera stocksii from Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and New Delhi and Bambusa bambos, Bambusa nutans, Bambusa pallida,Bambusa tulda,Dendrocalamus hamiltonia and D. strictus from Karnataka were infected with ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma australasia’‐related strains (16SrII‐C or 16SrII‐D); Bambusa vulgaris,D. asper and P. stocksii from Karnataka were positive for ‘Ca. P. asteris’ strains (16SrI‐B), and one phytoplasma in B. nutans from Sikkim was identified as ‘Ca. P. cynodontis’ strain (16SrXIV‐A). Weeds and leafhoppers from the vicinity of bamboo plantations were also tested, and 16SrII group of phytoplasmas was identified in eight symptomatic weed species (Ageratum conyzoides,Cannabis sativa,Cleome viscosa,Datura stramonium, Parthenium hysterophorus,Ocimum canum, Phyllanthus niruri and Tephrosia purpurea) from five different states and one leafhopper species (Mukaria spledida) from three states. These results suggest that wide genetic diversity of phytoplasma exists in various bamboo species in different states of India. The report of 16SrI‐B, 16SrII‐D and 16SrXIV‐A subgroups of phytoplasmas infecting eight bamboo species except D. strictus are the first records in the world.

    Abstract The multi criterion decision making (MCDM) method and experimental investigation on free convective heat transfer performance of oxide-based water nanofluids along a vertical cylinder are the two methods used to compare the performance in this paper. Al2O3, CuO, TiO2, SiO2, Fe3O4, and ZnO were the metal oxide nanoparticles used in the study to make water-based metal oxide nanofluids with volume fractions ranging from 0% to 1%. Two step method was used to create nanofluids. Thermo-physical properties like density, specific heat, viscosity, and thermal conductivity were measured after the various nanofluids were synthesized. Then, the performance of each nanofluid was evaluated based on various attributes using the weighted sum model (WSM) method, and the ranking of nanofluids was given. To begin, water served as the medium for free convection heat transfer experiments to validate the experimental setup. Free convection heat transfer experiments were carried out using metal oxide-based water nanofluids as mediums at volume fractions ranging from 0% to 1% for various heat inputs in the range of 30 W and 50 W. The heat transfer coefficient augments with percentage volume concentration up to 0.1 % for all types of nanofluids and then decreases until it reaches 0.6 % volume fraction. Al2O3-water nanofluid performs better than other metal oxide nanofluids in both WSM and experimental methods.

    Abstract Background: Cricket is one of the prominent global team sports. With an emergence of Twenty20 tournaments, the physical preparation of elite cricket players has become complex with high match injury incidence. Yoga as a body-mind training is associated with having positive effects on a person's physical and psychological conditions, bringing in better mind-body equilibrium.
    Objectives: Evaluating the impact of yoga in facilitating muscular functioning and mindfulness among asymptomatic male cricket players.
    Method: First-class domestic male cricket players in the age group of 18-35 years were randomized into yoga group n=42 and wait-list control group n=40. Players received the yoga module for five days per week for a duration of six weeks. Primary outcome measures of muscular functioning were core stability, flexibility, range of motion, static balance, dynamic balance and proprioception of the ankle. Assessments were held at baseline, immediate post-intervention, and a follow-up after six months of intervention.
    Results: A statistical significance with p < .001 was observed for most of the variables at T2 and T3. Comparison of the model fit shows a highly significant p < 0.001 difference between the model as compared to the baseline model among most of the variables.
    Conclusion: This yoga module was appropriate for enhancing muscular functioning variables of this study. Continuous practice of this yoga module can reinforce sustainable benefits for male cricket players.
