    Abstract Zinc ions are one of the 2nd most abundant mineral after iron and it is important for immune system, enzymatic catalysis, DNA synthesis, and maintaining structural integrity in humans. But, monitoring the Zn levels in human body poses more challenges. This review paper investigates (paper from 2010 to 2023) the synthesis of pyrazoline derivatives by different methods, including conventional methods and green chemistry protocol. These Pyrazoline derivatives highlighted for their potential application as chemo-sensor for Zn

    Abstract Cancer and diabetes mellitus (DM) are among the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in the global arena. Lately, several studies demonstrated that DM could promote cancer. However, the exact mechanism(s) highlighting this association are largely untouched and require comprehensive detailing. In the present review, we aimed to explore and decipher the possible mechanism of DM an cancer association. Hyperglycemia could be a subordinate plausible explanation of carcinogenesis in the diabatic patient. It is well known that high glucose levels may help in cancer proliferation. In addition, chronic inflammation, the other well-known factor of diabetes, could also play a role in carcinogenesis. Moreover, the numerous medicines to treat diabetes either increase or reduce cancer risk. Insulin is one of the potent growth factors that promotes cell propagation and induces cancer directly or via insulin like growth factor-1. On the other hand, hyperinsulinemia leads to an increased activity of growth factor-1 by inhibiting growth factor binding protein-1. To improve cancer prognosis, individuals with diabetes should be screened to discover cancer at an early stage and treated appropriately.

    Abstract Background: Respiratory distress is the major cause of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission of full-term neonates for which they require different levels of mode of ventilation. Aims and Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the demographic profile, clinical spectrum, and outcome of term neonates, requiring continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in tertiary care teaching hospitals. Materials and Methods: The study was a prospective observational study conducted from December 2020 to November 2022 in the neonatal section of the department of pediatrics. Results: A total of 261 neonates were included in the study. The male-to-female ratio was 1.7:1, the range of birth weight was between 2.1 kg and 3 kg (60.91%), the gestation age was 38 weeks (59.2%), and 73.6% were lower-segment cesarean section born. The age of starting CPAP in most of the newborns was at admission to NICU (in 69.73% of cases). The success rate of CPAP therapy was high (60.9%) and the rest 39.08% of patients did not settle with CPAP and required higher modes of respiratory support such as nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) (5.89%) and IPPV (94.11%). Conclusion: In the resource-limiting settings, due to the non-availability of higher levels of ventilatory gadgets, the early use of CPAP as a mode of ventilation in full-term babies with transient tachypnea of newborns is well-documented and it can be safely used in other common neonatal conditions which can cause respiratory distress in full-term neonates. The low-middle-income countries are facing challenges to improve comprehensive neonatal care; there is a dire need for simple and cost-effective methods of respiratory support. Bubble CPAP is one such promising ventilatory support intervention, which may reduce the need for costly mechanical ventilators.

    Abstract Dietary fiber has an immense role in the gut microbiome by modulating juvenile growth, immune system maturation, glucose, and lipid metabolism. Lifestyle changes might disrupt gut microbiota symbiosis, leading to various chronic diseases with underlying inflammatory conditions, obesity, and its associated pathologies. An interventional study of 16 weeks examined the impact of psyllium husk fiber with and without lifestyle modification on gut health and sleep quality in people with central obesity (men = 60 and women = 60), those aged from 40 to 60 years, those having WC ≥ 90 cm (men) and WC ≥ 80 cm (women), and no history of any chronic disease or regular medication. The participants were subgrouped into three intervention groups, namely, the psyllium husk fiber (PSH) group, the lifestyle modification (LSM) group, and the LSM&PSH group and control group with equal gender bifurcation (men = 15 and women = 15). A 24-h dietary recall, gastrointestinal tract (GIT) symptoms, and sleep quality analysis data were collected on validated questionnaires. The analyses of variance and covariance were used for baseline and post-intervention, respectively. Student's

    Abstract Objective: Increasing reports of resistance to newer anti-tuberculosis drugs have prompted the search for other alternative drugs. Streptomycin could be used for the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis if susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolate to streptomycin could be accurately detected. We performed phenotypic and genotypic drug susceptibility testing (DST) of 118 M. tuberculosis isolates for streptomycin.
    Materials and methods: Fifty pansusceptible and 68 multidrug-resistant M. tuberculosis (MDR-TB) isolates were used. Phenotypic DST for streptomycin, rifampicin, isoniazid and ethambutol was performed by mycobacteria growth indicator tube (MGIT) 960 System. Genotypic DST was done by GenoTypeMTBDRplus assay for rifampicin and isoniazid and by PCR-sequencing of rpsL, rrs and gidB genes for streptomycin. MDR-TB isolates were genotyped by spoligotyping.
    Results: Phenotypic DST identified 50 isolates susceptible to all four drugs (pansusceptible). Sixty-one of 68 MDR-TB isolates were resistant to streptomycin. Genotypic testing for rifampicin and isoniazid yielded expected results. Fifty pansusceptible and 7 streptomycin-susceptible MDR-TB isolates contained no mutation in rpsL or rrs, while 47, 2 and 1 STR-resistant isolate contained rpsL, rrs and rpsL + rrs mutations, respectively. Of the remaining 11 STR-resistant MDR-TB, 9 isolates contained deletion frame-shift/nonsynonymous mutations in gidB. Surprisingly, 13 pansusceptible isolates also contained deletion frame-shift/nonsense/nonsynonymous mutations in gidB. Also, 30 of 68 MDR-TB but only 2 of 50 pansusceptible isolates belonged to the Beijing genotype.
    Conclusions: Our data show that, like ifampicin, ethambutol and pyrazinamide, streptomycin also exhibits discordant phenotypic and genotypic DST results for some M. tuberculosis isolates. Hence, streptomycin should be included in therapy regimens only if both phenotypic and genotypic resistance testing indicate susceptibility to avoid amplification of resistance and drug toxicity.

    Abstract Aim: Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is an algorithm that involves the optimization of Non-linear and Multidimensional problems to reach the best solutions with minimal parameterization. This metaheuristic model has frequently been used in the Pathological domain. This optimization model has been used in diverse forms while predicting Alzheimer's disease. It is a robust algorithm that works on linear and multi-modal data while predicting Alzheimer's disease. PSO techniques have been in action for quite some time for detecting various diseases and this paper systematically reviews the papers on various kinds of PSO techniques.
    Methods: To perform the systematic review, PRISMA guidelines were followed and a Boolean search ("particle swarm optimization" OR "PSO") AND Neuroimaging AND (Alzheimer's disease prediction OR classification OR diagnosis) were performed. The query was run in 4-reputed databases: Google Scholar, Scopus, Science Direct, and Wiley publications.
    Results: For the final analysis, 10 papers were incorporated for qualitative and quantitative synthesis. PSO has shown a dominant character while handling the uni-modal as well as the multi-modal data while predicting the conversion from MCI to Alzheimer's. It can be seen from the table that almost all the 10 reviewed papers had MRI-driven data. The accuracy rate was accentuated while adding other modalities or Neurocognitive measures.
    Conclusions: Through this algorithm, we are providing an opportunity to other researchers to compare this algorithm with other state-of-the-art algorithms, while seeing the classification accuracy, with the aim of early prediction and progression of MCI into Alzheimer's disease.
