    Abstract Bacterial pathogens of animals impact food production and human health globally. Food animals act as the major host reservoirs for pathogenic bacteria and thus are highly prone to suffer from several endemic infections such as pneumonia, sepsis, mastitis, and diarrhea, imposing a major health and economical loss. Moreover, the consumption of food products of infected animals is the main route by which human beings are exposed to zoonotic bacteria. Thus, there is excessive and undue administration of antibiotics to fight these virulent causative agents of food-borne illness, leading to emergence of resistant strains. Thus, highprevalence antibiotic-resistant resistant food-borne bacterial infections motivated the researchers to discover new alternative therapeutic strategies to eradicate resistant bacterial strains. One of the successful therapeutic approach for the treatment of animal infections, is the application of cell membrane-coated nanoparticles. Cell membranes of several different types of cells including platelets, red blood cells, neutrophils, cancer cells, and bacteria are being wrapped over the nanoparticles to prepare biocompatible nanoformulations. This diversity of cell membrane selection and together with the possibility of combining with an extensive range of nanoparticles, has opened a new opportunistic window for the development of more potentially effective, safe, and immune evading nanoformulations, as compared to conventionally used bare nanoparticle. This article will elaborately discuss the discovery and development of novel bioinspired cell membrane-coated nanoformulations against several pathogenic bacteria of food animals such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enteritidis, Campylobacter jejuni, Helicobacter pylori, and Group A Streptococcus and Group B Streptococcus.

    Abstract Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of specimen mammography in breast conserving surgery cases with respect to reduction in margin positivity rate, and to see whether the rate of secondary surgeries is decreased by intra-operative excision based on specimen mammography evaluation.
    Methods: The retrospective study was conducted at the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, Lahore, Pakistan, and comprised data from January 2018 to December 2019 related to all female breast cancer patients who underwent mastectomy or breast conserving surgery with the involvement of specimen mammography. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of specimen mammography were calculated. Data was analysed using SPSS 20.
    Results: Of the 226 patients initially assessed, 65(28.7%) were excluded, and the final sample comprised 161(71.2%) women with mean age 46.71±10.47 years. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of specimen mammography for the sample were 65.8%, 80.8%, 54% and 87.3%, respectively. Performing specimen mammography for intra-operative margin assessment in 12 patients was likely to spare one patient from re-excision.
    Conclusions: Intra-operative specimen mammography was found to be a reliable tool for assessing margin status.

    Abstract Background: Trimodality therapy using the ChemoRadiotherapy for Oesophageal cancer followed by Surgery Study (CROSS) trial protocol is an accepted standard of care for locally advanced oesophageal and gastroesophageal junction cancers. For medically inoperable patients, chemoradiotherapy (CRT) has been a therapeutic option.
    Aims: This single institution review aimed to assess the real-world application of the CROSS trial protocol.
    Methods: This is a retrospective review of 83 patients who underwent CRT with carboplatin and paclitaxel with trimodality or definitive intent between June 2012 and June 2018. Sixty-five patients underwent neoadjuvant CRT (NCRT); 40 had surgery, 18 had definitive CRT (DCRT). Patients' demographics, clinical, pathological, treatment and surgical characteristics were assessed. The data were analysed in exploratory analyses and Kaplan-Meier curves.
    Results: For 83 patients, the following median values were seen: radiotherapy dose, 50.4 Gy; chemotherapy doses, 5; and time from CRT to surgery, 62 days. Twenty-three percent NCRT and 72% DCRT patients were aged ≥75 years, and 49% and 33% of these respectively had no interruptions to CRT. Patients aged ≥75 years were more likely to have DCRT (P = 0.001). Patients who underwent surgery were younger (P = 0.04). For NCRT and surgery, NCRT only and DCRT respectively, median overall survival was 35.5, 12.1 and 17.1 months (log rank P = 0.008); progression-free survival was 32.2, 10 and 9.6 months (log rank P = 0.001).
    Conclusions: Despite broadening of the CROSS trial eligibility criteria in our real-world data, there appears to be a survival benefit with trimodality therapy. The use of carboplatin and paclitaxel in DCRT may be of value and requires further study.

    Abstract Background: Pyrethroid-based mosquito repellents are widely used to control mosquito-borne diseases. Liquid mosquito-repellent vaporisers are effective modes of pyrethroid delivery but can also pose significant health risks if ingested or used improperly.
    Objective: This systematic review was performed to assess the demographic distribution, clinical presentation, management strategies and outcomes in children resulting from accidental ingestion of liquid mosquito repellent vaporiser.
    Methods: The study adheres to the reporting standards outlined in the PRISMA Statement for Systematic Reviews and was prospectively registered with PROSPERO (record # CRD42023413937) to enhance transparency and minimise reporting bias. A comprehensive search was conducted on PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar using specific MeSH terms related to insecticides, mosquito repellents, pyrethroids, ingestion, poisoning, toxicity and prevention. The reference lists of the included studies were also reviewed for additional relevant articles. The inclusion criteria involved studies published in peer-reviewed journals between 2000 and 2023 that focused on children under 18 years old with a history of mosquito-repellent ingestion based on primary data.
    Results: Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria; these were primarily case reports from India, China and the UAE. Male children were predominantly affected, and symptoms included vomiting, convulsions, cough and respiratory distress. Management primarily involved supportive and symptomatic measures, including atropine for salivation and antiepileptic drugs for seizures. Respiratory support was provided for respiratory complications.
    Conclusion: Despite the known risks and diverse presentations of pyrethroid poisoning caused by liquid mosquito repellent vaporiser in children, the limited substantial evidence in the literature underscores the urgent need for comprehensive research to refine management approaches and enhance preventive measures.
