    Abstract Tuberculosis is a well-known disease in the Indian subcontinent. This disease always poses challenges in front of the clinician for its proper treatment. However, its discovery was equally challenging. It took a great effort of many clinicians after which this disease was known to the world. History of tuberculosis is not only extensive but dramatic as well.

    Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global public health problem worldwide. Though Pulmonary TB (PTB) is mostly discussed, one in five cases of TB present are extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) that manifests conspicuous diagnostic and management challenges with respect to the site of infection. The diagnosis of EPTB is often delayed or even missed due to insidious clinical presentation, pauci-bacillary nature of the disease, and lack of laboratory facilities in the resource limited settings. Culture, the classical gold standard for the diagnosis of tuberculosis, suffers from increased technical and logistical constraints in EPTB cases. Other than culture, several other tests are available but their feasibility and effciacy for the detection of EPTB is still the matter of interest. We need more specific and precise test/s for the various forms of EPTB diagnosis which can easily be applied in the routine TB control program is required. A test that can contribute remarkably towards improving EPTB case detection reducing the morbidity and mortality is the utmost requirement. In this review we described the scenario of molecular and other noval methods available for laboratory diagnosis of EPTB, and also discussed the challenges linked with each diagnostic method. This review will make the readers aware of new emerging diagnostic techniques in the field of EPTB diagnosis. They can make an informed decision to choose the appropriate one according to the test availability, their clinical settings and financial considerations.

    Abstract The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 is causing a serious disaster through coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) around the globe. A large segment of the population from every corner of the world is already infected with this dreadful pathogen with a high mortality rate. These numbers are increasing drastically causing a situation of a global pandemic. Although after the continuous scientific efforts, we are still not having any specific drug or vaccine for the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen to date and there is an urgent need to develop a newer therapy to counter the COVID-19 global pandemic. Thus, in the current study, a framework for computational drug repurposing is established, and based on their safety profile, metocurine was chosen as a safe and effective drug candidate for developing therapy against the viral Mpro enzyme of SARS-CoV-2 for the treatment of COVID-19.

    Abstract N-Nitroso compounds have been listed as one of the cohorts of concern as per ICH M7. In recent years, the regulatory focus has shifted from common nitrosamines to nitroso-impurities of drug products. Thus, the detection and quantification of unacceptable levels of nitrosamine drug substance-related impurities are of great concern for analytical scientists during drug development. Moreover, risk assessment of nitrosamines is also an essential part of the regulatory filling. For risk assessment, the Nitrosation Assay Procedure suggested by WHO expert group in 1978 is being followed. However, it could not be adopted by the pharmaceutical industries due to the limitation of drug solubility and artefact formation in the test conditions. In this work, we have optimized an alternative nitrosation test to investigate the likelihood of direct nitrosation. The technique is simple, where the drug solubilized in an organic solvent is incubated at 37°C with a nitrosating agent named tertiary butyl nitrite in a 1:10 molar ratio. LC-UV/MS-based chromatographic method was developed to separate drug substances and respective nitrosamine impurities using the C18 analytical column. The methodology was successfully tested on five drugs with varying structural chemistry. The procedure is straightforward, effective, and quick for the nitrosation of secondary amines. This modified nitrosation test and WHO prescribed nitrosation test have been compared and found that the modified methodology is more effective and time-saving.

    Abstract Objective: Using data from a hospital-based cancer registry (HBCR) in the private sector in Northern India, we provide overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) for childhood cancer patients.
    Methods: All newly diagnosed childhood (age <18 years) cancer patients in our HBCR registered between March 1, 2013 till July 31, 2021 were eligible. 3-year and 5-year OS (death was an event), EFSc (death, progression/relapse was an event), and EFSa (death, progression/relapse, abandonment of treatment was an event) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Regression analysis was done to see their association with demographic, diagnostic and treatment variables.
    Results: 705 newly diagnosed children (36.2% female) with cancer were registered. Common cancers were leukemias (26%), CNS tumors (20%) and bone tumors (16%). 202 (28.6%) had experienced an event at median follow up of 1.95 years (range 0-8.14 years), which included 23 (3.3%) who abandoned treatment. The 3-year OS, EFSc, EFSa were 70.8%, 64.4% and 63.6%, respectively. Correspondingly, 5-year OS, EFSc, EFSa were 66%, 58.6% and 57.5%, respectively. There was no significant difference by age group, gender, nationality, and if cancer directed treatment initiated elsewhere. The OS, EFSa and EFSc by the main and the extended International Childhood Cancer Classification categories varied significantly (P<0.001).
    Conclusion: We add more recent registry-based OS data on childhood cancer in India and present the first estimates on EFS.

    Abstract Patients with psoriasis often complain of several linked disorders including autoimmune and cardiometabolic diseases. Understanding of molecular link between psoriasis and associated comorbidities would be of great interest at the point of patient care management. Integrative unbiased network approach, indicates significant unidirectional gene overlap between psoriasis and its associated comorbid condition including obesity (31 upregulated and 26 downregulated), ischemic stroke (14 upregulated and 2 downregulated), dyslipidaemia (5 upregulated, 5 downregulated), atherosclerosis (8 upregulated and 1 downregulated) and type II diabetes (5 upregulated, 5 downregulated). The analysis revealed substantial gene sharing among the different psoriasis-associated comorbidities. Molecular comorbidity index determining the strength of the interrelation between psoriasis and its comorbidities indicates prevalence of dyslipidaemia followed by type II diabetes among psoriasis patients. The Jaccard coefficient indices revealed psoriasis shared maximum number of biological pathways with dyslipidaemia followed by type 2 diabetes, ischemic stroke, obesity and atherosclerosis. Moreover, pathway annotation highlighted nearly 45 shared pathways amongst psoriasis and its comorbidities and a substantial number of shared pathways was found among multi-morbidities. Overall, the present study established conceivable link between psoriasis and comorbid diseases. The shared genes and overlapped pathways may be explored as a common productive target for psoriasis and its comorbid conditions.

    Abstract Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disorder characterized by tissue infiltration due to mononuclear phagocytes and lymphocytes and associated noncaseating granuloma formation. Pulmonary sarcoidosis (PS) shares a number of clinical, radiological, and histopathological characteristics with that of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). Due to this, clinicians face issues in differentiating between PS and PTB in a substantial number of cases. There is a lack of any specific biomarker that can diagnose PS distinctively from PTB. We compared T-cell-based signature cytokines in patients with PS and PTB. In this study, we proposed a serum biomarker panel consisting of cytokines from cells: T helper (Th) 1 [interferon-gamma (IFN-γ); tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)], Th9 [interleukin (IL)-9], Th17 [IL-17], and T regulatory (Treg) [IL-10; transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β)]. We performed the principal component analysis that demonstrated that our serum cytokine panel has a significant predictive ability to differentiate PS from PTB. Our results could aid clinicians to improve the diagnostic workflow for patients with PS in TB endemic settings where the diagnosis between PS and PTB is often ambiguous.
