    Abstract The therapeutic landscape for cardiac amyloidosis is rapidly evolving. In the last decade, our focus has shifted from dealing with the inevitable complications of continued extracellular infiltration of amyloid fibrils to earlier identification of these patients with prompt initiation of targeted therapy to prevent further deposition. Although much of the focus on novel targeted therapies is within the realm of transthyretin amyloidosis, light chain amyloidosis has benefited due to an overlap particularly in the final common pathway of fibrillogenesis and extraction of amyloid fibrils from the heart. Here, we review the targeted therapeutics for transthyretin and light chain amyloidosis. For transthyretin amyloidosis, the list of current and future therapeutics continues to evolve; and therefore, it is crucial to become familiar with the underlying mechanistic pathways of the disease. Although targeted therapeutic choices in AL amyloidosis are largely driven by the hematology team, the cardiac adverse effect profiles of these therapies, particularly in those with advanced amyloidosis, provide an opportunity for early recognition to prevent decompensation and can help inform recommendations regarding therapy changes when required.

    Abstract Introduction: The private sector plays an important role in tuberculosis (TB) elimination by providing access to quality TB care services like diagnosis and treatment, advocacy for preventive measures, innovation to address challenges in TB elimination, vaccines etc. The study aims to understand the perspectives of private practitioners on patients' TB care cascade to reinforce existing interventions by assuring the quality of care to TB patients.
    Methods: The study utilized a qualitative design through in-depth interviews of private practitioners and was conducted in Ranchi and Purbi Singhbhum District of Jharkhand State from March-August 2021. The pilot-tested, semi-structured, open-ended interview guide questionnaire collected information from private practitioners on various aspects of the TB care cascade. The data from the provider interviews were transcribed into multiple codes and themes on the TB program. An inductive analysis was carried out with a focus on content credibility to eliminate bias. Ethical approval was received from the Institutional Ethics Committee of the Indian Institute of Public Health Gandhinagar (IIPHG), India. Written consent was taken from the private practitioners involved in the study.
    Result: In-depth interviews of 17 private practitioners reveal various factors contributing to delays in TB care cascades, especially delay in access to TB diagnosis and TB Care, delay in providing treatment once after diagnosis and poor adherence to the TB treatment. According to the perception of private practitioners, there was an array of client, provider and system side factors affecting the TB care cascade gaps positively and negatively. Positive aspects mainly emerged from interviews: strong governance, consistent supply chain management, innovative PPP models and financial schemes reducing out-of-pocket expenditure (OOPE). Various factors affecting the TB care cascade negatively include awareness among the patient, socio-economic status, approach and decision-making power of providers, adverse effects of drugs, staff capacity building, etc. CONCLUSIONS: Engaging private practitioner in TB elimination efforts is critical to achieving global targets and reducing the burden of TB. The study helps to determine geography-specific barriers and facilitators of the TB care cascade to achieve the aim of providing universal access to TB healthcare with the inclusion of private practitioners.

    Abstract With the increasing demand for fruits in the consumer market and to fulfill the needs of consumers, fruits are deliberately resorted to ripen artificially using industrial‐grade Calcium Carbide (CaC₂) which has carcinogenic properties. The preferences to employ imaging sensing technology across the electromagnetic spectrum have gained noteworthy attention in recent times. This work presents the study to distinguish between natural and artificially ripened bananas using a multispectral imaging approach. Specifically, we carry out the analysis using multispectral images collected for natural and artificially ripened bananas in eight narrow spectrum bands spanning from visible (VIS) to near‐infrared (NIR) wavelength. Further, to present the contribution of each individual spectral band, we propose a scheme that extracts the relevant features from “convolution 5 (conv5)” and “fully connected 6 (fc6)” layers of convolutional neural network (CNN) based on AlexNet architecture and processes these features independently with collaborative representation classifier (CRC) in a robust manner. Essentially, we demonstrate the experimental classification accuracy based on multispectral images comprised of 5760 sample images using 10‐fold cross‐validation. Based on the proposed scheme, the highest average classification accuracy of about 88.82 ± 1.65% is obtained using our proposed approach presenting the significance of our work. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: The practical application of our proposed approach is to distinguish between natural and artificially ripened banana fruits in a market chain. Further, the approach is non‐invasive and non‐destructive based on multispectral imaging which has the potential to carry out real‐time quality analysis of bananas, especially to detect adulteration.
