    Abstract India aims to provide universal health coverage to all individuals and communities thus ensuring accessibility, promotive, curative, preventive, rehabilitative, and palliative health services to all. Healthcare technologies play a critical role in ensuring eliminating healthcare disparities and encouraging quality healthcare at all levels. Technology solutions such as indigenous medical devices and diagnostic products, telemedicine, artificial intelligence, and drone technology can best integrate rural needs, improve health outcomes, patient safety, and healthcare quality and experience for patients' values and strengths and can therefore be important contributors to advancing rural health equity. These technologies can transform India's healthcare system by providing quality care and mitigating the risk of catastrophic financial hardship.

    Abstract Timely delivery of medical supplies is essential in the healthcare sector, which is hampered by factors such as poor transportation network, traffic and adverse environmental conditions. Alternatively, drone operations can leapfrog the last mile logistic solutions in hard-to-reach terrains. The present paper elucidates the implementation process of drone-based delivery of medical supplies, operational challenges and innovations adopted by scientists in Manipur and Nagaland. Three districts, Bishnupur, Imphal West and Churachandpur from Manipur and two districts, Mokokchung and Tuensang from Nagaland, were selected for the study. Regulatory and ethical approvals and coordination with state health and administrative authorities were accorded. Implementation and operational challenges faced by the research team were recorded elaborately in the field diaries and assessed qualitatively. The experiences encountered by the team for case-to-case based permission and coordination with the central and state aviation authorities, district administration and health authorities were observed. The drone-related technical and logistic challenges were identified as the deployment of suitable drones, payload capacity, time management for operations, and transportation of drones. The officials adopted mitigation strategies to overcome field-based challenges. Drone-based deliveries of medical supplies are proving to be time efficient, however, overcoming operational challenges could provide an effective long-term deployment strategy.

    Abstract Apoplectic pituitary adenomas cause significant morbidity and even mortality. The pituitary apoplexy denotes a pituitary adenoma presenting with hemorrhage and/or infarction, implementation in remedial effects of various of drugs in pituitary apoplexy is a promising pharmacogenomic field in the near future adenoma treatment. Indisputably, this is an important horizon for complicated pituitary adenomas. In a pituitary adenoma, the interplay between genetic, cytokine, and growth factors promotes the pathogenic transformation into an apoplectic formation. However, till date, little is known about how all these factors together lead to the pathogenesis of apoplectic pituitary. The vascular endothelial growth factor, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), pituitary tumor-transforming gene (PTTG), matrix metalloproteinase-2/9 (MMP-2/9), proliferating marker (Ki-67), as well as hypoxia-inducing factor are the major contributing factors involved in pituitary apoplexy. The molecular mechanism involved in pituitary apoplexy has never been described so far. In this review, we discuss the various proteins/cytokines/growth factors and signaling molecules which are involved in the pathogenesis of pituitary apoplexy and their potential role as biomarkers or as therapeutic targets.

    Abstract Background: Although low-and middle-income countries (LMIC) bear the burden of the pituitary adenomas, most research is conducted in developed countries. However, there has been significant growth in research on pituitary adenomas in India from 1995 to 2020. The cost of patient treatment, management, and surgery of pituitary lesions are comparatively lower in India in comparison to high income countries.
    Objective: The intended goal is to highlight the current scenario of pituitary research in India with regards to prevalence/incidence, tumor size, treatment modalities, cost of pituitary surgery, and potential strategies for tackling pituitary adenoma disease burden in the country.
    Methodology: In addition to the literature review, recommendations were included from neurosurgeons, endocrinologists, and radiologists from various centers in India.
    Results: There is an increasing evidence of pituitary adenoma heterogeneity compared to western populations. Although there has been significant increase in research on pituitary tumors from India, it is considerably less as compared to the data from the rest of the world. The major challenges for the treatment of this benign disease in India are lack of imaging facility in rural areas, poor patient follow up, and financial constraints for periodic imaging and biochemical assessment.
    Conclusion: A computerized pituitary registry and genetic screening and testing will significantly boost research and lead to better patient outcome in the country. Special emphasis should be laid on multimodal management to ascertain optimal long-term tumor control with best hormonal outcome.
