    Abstract The East Kolkata Wetlands (EKWT), designated as a Ramsar Site for its crucial role in sewage water purification, agriculture and pisciculture, faces escalating environmental threats due to rapid urbanisation. Employing the pressure-state-response (PSR) framework and Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA), this study spans three decades to elucidate the evolving dynamics of EKWT. Using Landsat TM and OLI images from 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021, the research identifies key parameters within the PSR framework. Principal component analysis generates environmental risk maps, revealing a 46% increase in urbanisation, leading to reduced vegetation cover and altered land surface conditions. The spatial analysis, utilizing Getis-Ord Gi* statistics, pinpoints risk hotspots and coldspots in the EKWT region. Correlation analysis underscores a robust relationship between urbanisation, climatic response and environmental risk. Decadal ERA exposes a noteworthy surge in high-risk areas, indicating a deteriorating trend. Quantitative assessments pinpoint environmental risk hotspots, emphasizing the imperative for targeted conservation measures. The study establishes a direct correlation between environmental risk and air quality, underscoring the broader implications of EKWT's degradation. While acknowledging the East Kolkata administration's efforts, the research recognises its limitations and advocates a holistic, multidisciplinary approach for future investigations. Recommendations encompass the establishment of effective institutions, real-time monitoring, public engagement and robust anti-pollution measures. In offering quantitative insights, this study provides an evidence-based foundation for conservation strategies and sustainable management practices essential to safeguard the East Kolkata Wetlands.

    Abstract Around the world, the educational system is evolving. The new trend can be found in traditional classroom systems as well as digitalization systems. Cloud-based Learning Management Systems (LMS) will accelerate the educational industry forward in the next years because they can provide end-user with a versatile, convenient, secure, and cost-effective learning process. The cloud-based LMS approach is the most effective and proper learning model in the worldwide educational sector, particularly if the organization is in a state of depression owing to a global pandemic. It can be utilized over the internet with several users on the same platform. As a result, the initial requirement is important to enable to the LMS model. Despite its many advantages, LMS confronts challenges such as confidentiality, user acceptance, and traffic. In a pandemic like Covid 19, the entire planet depends on a safe LMS platform to establish student and instructor trust. Therefore, with this work, the attempt has been made to explain one LMS model that may provide its users with optimal security, a user-friendly environment, and quick access. This paper discusses the use of the cloud attack, and also cryptographic and steganographic security models and techniques to address these issues. There's also information on what kinds of security vulnerabilities or operations on cloud data are feasible, and also how to deal with them using various algorithms.

    Abstract Context: A subset of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) individuals also have type 2 diabetes (T2D); an unmet need to identify this subgroup exists.
    Objective: We looked at the potential role of serum chemerin, a proinflammatory adipokine, in identifying dysglycemic PCOS.
    Methods: A total of 93 PCOS and 33 healthy controls were classified, based on fasting and 2-hour plasma glucose levels (2hPGPG) and glycated hemoglobin A
    Results: Metabolic syndrome was present in 9.7% (National Cholesterol Education Program) of PCOS. Waist circumference, body fat (%), 2hPGPG, and HbA
    Conclusion: Elevated serum chemerin levels reliably identify PCOS individuals with dysglycemia. Further, longitudinal studies with larger samples are required to confirm this association.

    Abstract We explored a unique concept in this study to develop a membrane containing a hierarchical porous architecture derived by etching a specific component from a demixed UCST blend as the support layer and a free-standing GO and a polyamide (PA) layer as functional surfaces. To selectively sieve ions and improve chlorine tolerance performance, three different strategies were proposed here. In the first case, the free-standing GO membrane was used as the active layer. In the second case, the free-standing GO was positioned in tandem with the PA layer formed

    Abstract Purpose: Diabetic retinopathy (DR), the leading cause of blindness among working adults, is an urgent public health problem as diabetes mellitus (DM) is increasing at an alarming rate. Hyperglycemia-induced endothelial dysfunction is the principal contributing factor leading to the development of microangiopathy. Altered levels of microRNA (miR), the negative regulator of protein-coding genes, have been observed and considered to be markers for DR. Present study aimed to find out whether miR levels in plasma could be effective biomarkers to differentiate between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with non-proliferative retinopathy (NPDR) from T2DM with no-DR (DNR).
    Methods: We recruited 50 T2DM subjects comprising 31 NPDR and 19 DNR individuals. Surrogate markers of systemic oxidative stress and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were measured in plasma. Levels of miR-126 and miR-132 were determined in plasma and vitreous fluid using real-time PCR.
    Results: We observed that levels of miR-126 and miR-132 were decreased in NPDR subjects in comparison to DNR. Plasma levels of miRs were inversely correlated with secreted levels of VEGF and oxidative stress marker. The levels of these miRs showed discriminating ability between NPDR and DNR.
    Conclusion: Circulating miRs 126 and 132 in plasma or vitreous may serve as biomarkers for early diabetic retinopathy risk prediction, provided validated in a larger cohort and other forms of retinal vasculopathy or retinopathy in the future.

    Abstract Systemic lupus erythematosus is a multisystem disorder much more common in females than males due to the effect of the hormone estrogen. There are also specific differences in clinical presentation in men and women. We present a unique case of a 54-year-old middle-aged Asian male presenting with only generalized weakness without other systemic features and with only incidental finding of thrombocytopenia. Notable laboratory values were positive for antinuclear antibody (ANA) and anti-double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), low complement 3 level with normal complement 4 levels, along with severe thrombocytopenia and mild anemia. The patient was eventually diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus based on these parameters. Bone marrow biopsy revealed an increased number of megakaryocytes without hypocellular or hypercellular marrow and no dysplasia of cell lines. He was initiated on oral prednisone, and his symptoms recovered remarkably with normalization of lab values upon discharge. The case's importance lies in the fact that the diagnosis of lupus can be missed in male patients with nonspecific clinical features due to certain differences in presentation from females. This diagnosis should be included in the workup of any thrombocytopenia.

    Abstract Background: To assess the association of lipid and lipid-derived toxic molecules in pathogenesis and severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
    Methods: The present cross-sectional study included 14 healthy individuals (HC) without T2DM, 22 T2DM subjects without DR (DNR), 24 T2DM subjects with mild non-proliferative DR (MNPDR), and 24 T2DM subjects with high-risk proliferative DR (HRPDR). All subjects underwent plasma and vitreous analysis for estimation of total lipid (TL), free fatty acid (FFA), lipid peroxides (LPOs) like malondialdehyde (MDA), 4-Hydroxy-noneal (HNE), the advanced lipoxidation end product (ALE) like Hexanoyl-lysine (HLY) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) following standard spectrophotometric and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods respectively.
    Results: The concentration of TL, FFA, markers of lipid peroxidation and lipoxidation as well as VEGF in plasma and vitreous were found to be significantly elevated stepwise inT2DM subjects (HRPDR > MNPDR > DNR) compared to healthy controls (HC).Further, plasma conventional lipid components like total cholesterol (TCH), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglycerides (TG), FFA and TL showed their significant positive correlations with vitreous level of different LPOs, ALE and VEGF in the DR group.
    Conclusion: Total lipid and lipid-derived detrimental biomolecules ultimately result in increased secretion of VEGF and thus not only add as associated mediators in the pathogenesis of DR, these also accelerate the severity of microangiopathy in T2DM.

    Abstract A 44-year-old Caucasian man with a history of deceased donor renal transplant for end-stage renal disease from Alport's syndrome (AS), presented with a spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage and hydrocephalus. Following an external ventricular drain for the hydrocephalus, a CT angiography revealed a dissection of the left vertebral artery extending into vertebro-basilar junction necessitating a bypass between left occipital artery to left posterior inferior cerebellar artery. He had a posterior fossa Craniectomy, C1 laminectomy and coiling off, of the left vertebral artery. Postprocedure course was prolonged but uneventful with complete recovery and normal renal function 18 months postpresentation. AS, a disease caused by abnormalities in the synthesis of type IV collagen, can cause aneurysms with severe and permanent neurological sequalae. We present a case of AS with intracranial arterial dissection with potential life-threatening consequences and discuss the genetic and molecular basis of AS along with review of the relevant literature.
