    Abstract Olfactory loss can impair the ability to detect harmful warning smells like smoke or gas leaks, significantly affect the quality of life and increase the morbidity. This study was done using Sniffin stick test kit with an objective to compare the effect of Steroid Nasal Spray with Normal Saline Nasal Spray in improving the olfactory dysfunction seen in cases of chronic nasal obstruction. This Prospective comparative study was conducted on patients presenting to the ENT OPD with olfactory dysfunction due to various nasal pathologies. The olfaction was assessed qualitatively using ODOFIN Sniffin' sticks before and 2 weeks after the use of either a steroid [Group A] or Saline Nasal Spray [Group B] and the results documented and analysed. Total 162 eligible patients were selected. Majority of the study participants were males and the major symptom was Hyposmia. In group A, the initial Sniffin stick test showed Anosmia in 26 and Hyposmia in 55 patients and after 2 weeks, only 2 and 26 patients had Anosmia and Hyposmia respectively. Wherein group B, there was no significant improvement in the olfaction even after 2 weeks of treatment. The improvement in the olfaction was significant between the groups. (

    Abstract Earlier diagnosis of lung cancer is crucial for reducing mortality and morbidity in high-risk patients. Liquid biopsy is a critical technique for detecting the cancer earlier and tracking the treatment outcomes. However, noninvasive biomarkers are desperately needed due to the lack of therapeutic sensitivity and early-stage diagnosis. Therefore, we have utilized transcriptomic profiling of early-stage lung cancer patients to discover promising biomarkers and their associated metabolic functions. Initially, PCA highlights the diversity level of gene expression in three stages of lung cancer samples. We have identified two major clusters consisting of highly variant genes among the three stages. Further, a total of 7742, 6611, and 643 genes were identified as DGE for stages I-III respectively. Topological analysis of the protein-protein interaction network resulted in seven candidate biomarkers such as JUN, LYN, PTK2, UBC, HSP90AA1, TP53, and UBB cumulatively for the three stages of lung cancers. Gene enrichment and KEGG pathway analyses aid in the comprehension of pathway mechanisms and regulation of identified hub genes in lung cancer. Importantly, the medial survival rates up to ~ 70 months were identified for hub genes during the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Moreover, the hub genes displayed the significance of risk factors during gene expression analysis using TIMER2.0 analysis. Therefore, we have reason that these biomarkers may serve as a prospective targeting candidate with higher treatment efficacy in early-stage lung cancer patients.

    Abstract Rearranged during transfection (RET) is an oncogenic driver receptor that is overexpressed in several cancer types, including non-small cell lung cancer. To date, only multiple kinase inhibitors are widely used to treat RET-positive cancer patients. These inhibitors exhibit high toxicity, less efficacy, and specificity against RET. The development of drug-resistant mutations in RET protein further deteriorates this situation. Hence, in the present study, we aimed to design novel drug-like compounds using a fragment-based drug designing strategy to overcome these issues. About 18 known inhibitors from diverse chemical classes were fragmented and bred to form novel compounds against RET proteins. The inhibitory activity of the resultant 115 hybrid molecules was evaluated using molecular docking and RF-Score analysis. The binding free energy and chemical reactivity of the compounds were computed using MM-GBSA and density functional theory analysis, respectively. The results from our study revealed that the developed hybrid molecules except for LF21 and LF27 showed higher reactivity and stability than Pralsetinib. Ultimately, the process resulted in three hybrid molecules namely LF1, LF2, and LF88 having potent inhibitory activity against RET proteins. The scrutinized molecules were then subjected to molecular dynamics simulation for 200 ns and MM-PBSA analysis to eliminate a false positive design. The results from our analysis hypothesized that the designed compounds exhibited significant inhibitory activity against multiple RET variants. Thus, these could be considered as potential leads for further experimental studies.

    Abstract Objectives: To compare the efficacy of laparoscopic transabdominal cerclage (TAC) pre-pregnancy and laparoscopic TAC in pregnancy in treating cervical insufficiency.
    Method: A retrospective analytical study comparing outcomes of laparoscopic TAC pre-pregnancy with laparoscopic TAC in pregnancy. A total of 178 patients who underwent laparoscopic TAC at our hospital were enrolled in the study. In total, 122 patients underwent interval cerclage, and 56 patients underwent cerclage during pregnancy.
    Results: A total of 178 patients who met the inclusion criteria were included in the analysis. Second-trimester abortions decreased by 50%, with an overall increase in full-term live births (32.53%) in patients undergoing laparoscopic TAC pre-pregnancy. The fetal survival rate was around 90% and 85% with laparoscopic TAC pre-pregnancy and laparoscopic TAC in pregnancy, respectively. Although the obstetric outcomes of laparoscopic TAC pre-pregnancy and in pregnancy were comparable, laparoscopic TAC pre-pregnancy was safer than laparoscopic TAC in pregnancy due to the complications associated with the procedure during pregnancy.
    Conclusions: Laparoscopic TAC pre-pregnancy yielded better reproductive outcomes than laparoscopic TAC in pregnancy and was associated with fewer perioperative complications.

    Abstract In vivo micronucleus assay is the widely used genotoxic test to determine the extent of chromosomal aberrations caused by the chemicals in human beings, which plays a significant role in the drug discovery paradigm. To reduce the uncertainties of the in vivo experiments and the expenses, we intended to develop novel machine learning-based tools to predict the toxicity of the compounds with high precision. A total of 372 compounds with known toxicity information were retrieved from the PubChem Bioassay database and literature. The fingerprints and descriptors of the compounds were generated using PaDEL and ChemSAR, respectively, for the analysis. The performance of the models was assessed using the three tires of evaluation strategies such as fivefold, tenfold, and validation by external dataset. Further, structural alerts causing genotoxicity of the compounds were identified using SARpy method. Of note, fingerprint-based random forest model built in our analysis is able to demonstrate the highest accuracy of about 0.97 during tenfold cross-validation. In essence, our study highlights that structural alerts such as chlorocyclohexane and trimethylamine are likely to be the leading cause of toxicity in humans. Indeed, we believe that random forest model generated in this study is appropriate for reduction of test animals and should be considered in the future for the good practice of animal welfare.

    Abstract The potential ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the population's mental health are a rising global concern. Both at the individual and community level, the erratic and uncertain COVID-19 outbreak has the prospective to exhibit a detrimental effect on psychological health and aging. At present, various measures are dedicated to the parameters like awareness of epidemiology, clinical aspects, mode of transmission, counteracting the spread of the infection, and public health problems, although this initiative has neglected critical mental health concerns. This study is to investigate the outbreak to study the level of harmful effects on mental health and its crosstalk with aging. Global execution of preventive, control measures and resilience establishment are challenging factors whereas reformed lifestyle such as lockdown, coping with self-isolation, quarantine, social distancing, and post-traumatic stress disorders are alarming. Hallmarks of aging which interact with each other, have been suggested to affect the healthspan in aged adults, possibly due to attenuated immunity. Among various hallmarks, we concentrated on those that show direct or indirect interaction with viral infections, comprising inflammation, genomic instability, impaired mitochondrial function, epigenetic modification, telomere attrition, and damaged autophagy. These hallmarks possibly contribute to the elicited pathophysiological responses to SARS-CoV-2 and may add an additive risk of accelerated aging post-recovery among aged adults. Here, the role of antiaging drug candidates that require main consideration in COVID-19 research is discussed briefly. In the later future, it can emerge as a potential therapeutic approach in the treatment of patients with severe infection.

    Abstract Background: Ayurveda underlines the significance of wounds and wound healing. Acharya Susruta has highlighted the need for shastiupakramas in the management of the wound. Even with a multitude of therapeutic concepts and formulations in Ayurveda, wound management has yet to gain acceptance.
    Objective: To evaluate the effect of Jatyadi tulle, Madhughrita tulle, and honey tulle in the management of Shuddhavrana (clean wound).
    Materials and methods: A three-arm randomized, parallel group, active-controlled, open-label clinical trial. Randomization was done through online random number generator software to allocate 45 patients treatment into three groups. Trial groups were treated with Jatyadi tulle (JT), Madhughrita tulle (MG), and control group was treated with Honey tulle (HT) for 10 days, and assessment was done on the 5th and 10th day. The wound was assessed using the Bates Jensen wound assessment tool, and the efficacy of the dressing material was assessed using the Worcestershire tissue viability team dressing assessment form. The study outcomes were early wound healing and clinical cure.
    Results: Within-group results were assessed using the Wilcoxon matched pairs test, and between-group results were assessed by Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA and Mann-Whitney U test. Significant results were obtained within-group (p value < 0.05) from day 0 and at various time points. The results between groups were found to be comparable; JT and MG were found to be significant in ease of application, removal, and patient comfort. No adverse drug events were identified throughout the study.
    Conclusion: JT and MG tulle have shown significant results in the management of shuddhavrana.
