    Abstract The major cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity is bacterial sepsis. Blood culture is the most reliable method in neonatal sepsis. This study was conducted to study the usefulness of hematological parameters in the early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis and to assess the most sensitive and specific variables in diagnosing neonatal sepsis. This prospective study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital from January 2017 to January 2018. Peripheral blood smears were prepared from patients with clinical suspicion of sepsis or predisposing perinatal factors for sepsis and stained with Field's stain and examined. The hematological findings were analyzed according to the hematologic scoring system of Rodwell. It was found that immature PMN count, I: M ratio, and I: T ratio had the highest sensitivity (92.06%, 87.30%, and 74.60%, respectively) while I: M ratio, I: T ratio, and degenerative changes in PMN had the highest specificity (97.50%, 96.50%, and 94.0%, respectively) in the prediction of sepsis.

    Abstract Protein-coated microbubbles have become one of the emerging platforms in biomedical research as theranostic agents. In recent years, microbubbles have been extensively used as ultrasound contrast agents and carriers of molecular cargoes, pertaining to which several studies have focused on tuning the properties of these bubbles to achieve a higher degree of biocompatibility and extended stability. Synthesis of microbubbles has so far been traditionally carried out with pre-heated proteins like bovine serum albumin (BSA) as shell coatings, owing to the ease in making BSA crosslinked structures through disulfide bridge formation. We, however, have performed experiments to demonstrate that air core microbubbles formed with native BSA are more stable compared with those formed using denatured BSA. The experimental observations have been supported with analytical modeling and computational studies, which offer insights into the effect of BSA conformation in stabilizing the microbubbles shells and prolonging their lifetimes.

    Abstract Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) would be the third leading cause of death by 2030 as per WHO. India has close to 30 million COPD patients at present. Acute exacerbations in these patients are associated with worse outcomes and are responsible for a decline in lung function. Bacterial infections cause exacerbations in 30-50% cases and new bacterial strains are often isolated; they are different in India than what Western studies report. Hence, it is useful to know the bacteriological profile of the prevalent strains as per geography so as to manage the exacerbations better. Aim and Objectives: The study aimed to determine the bacteriological profile and sensitivity to antibiotics in sputum of patients with Acute Exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD). Material and Methods: Ninety patients presenting with Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (AECOPD) who met the inclusion criteria were included and their sputum was sent for Gram stain, Ziel-Neelson stain and bacterial culture and antibiotic sensitivity testing. Results: Culture was positive for pathogens in 34 (37.7%) patients. P. aeruginosa 14 (41.1%), K. pneumoniae 11 (32.35%) and E. coli 9 (26.47%) were the organisms isolated. The isolates were sensitive to Beta-Lactam/Beta-Lactamase Inhibitor (BL/BLI) combinations, carbapenems and colistin and polymyxin B. P. aeruginosa and E. coli were also sensitive to aminoglycosides and fluroquinolones while K. pneumoniae was variably resistant to them. Age, gender and leucocyte count were not significantly associated with the sputum positivity rate. Conclusion: Cefoperazone/sulbactam with an aminoglycoside and/or levofloxacin may be considered for initiation of therapy in AECOPD patients.

    Abstract Background: Ampicillin-ceftriaxone (AC) has emerged as an alternative antibiotic regimen for enterococcal infective endocarditis (EIE) with reduced toxicity compared with ampicillin-gentamicin (AG), but evidence regarding its success in reducing EIE-associated death in the United States is limited.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective, propensity score-matched cohort analysis of EIE patients treated with AC or AG between 2010 and 2017 at 3 hospitals in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We assessed all-cause 90-day mortality as the primary outcome and in-hospital mortality, length of hospital stay, hospital readmissions, adverse events, and relapse of bacteremia as the secondary outcomes.
    Results: A total of 190 patients with EIE (100 treated with AC and 90 with AG) were included. Ninety-day mortality was significantly higher with AC than AG (21% vs 8%;
    Conclusions: Patients treated with AC demonstrate no significant differences in mortality, treatment failure, or bacteremia relapse compared with AG in a propensity score-matched EIE cohort.

    Abstract Alloys of different materials are extensively used in many fields of our day-to-day life. Several studies are performed at a microscopic level to analyze the properties of such alloys. Manually evaluating these microscopic structures (microstructures) can be time-consuming. This thesis attempts to build different models that can automate the identification of an alloy from its microstructure. All the models were developed, with various supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms, and results of all the models were compared. The best accuracy of 92.01 ± 0.54% and 94.31 ± 0.59% was achieved, for identifying the type of an alloy from its microstructure (Task 1) and classifying the microstructure as belonging to either Ferrous, Non-Ferrous or Others class (Task 2), respectively. The model, which gave the best accuracy, was then used to build an Image Search Engine (ISE) that can predict the type of an alloy from its microstructure, search the microstructures by different keywords and search for visually similar microstructures.

    Abstract Breast cancer is a global health concern, demanding innovative treatments. Targeting the Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling pathway, pivotal in breast cancer, is a promising approach. TGF-β inhibits proliferation via G1 phase cell cycle arrest, acting as a suppressor initially, but in later stages, it promotes progression by enhancing motility, invasiveness, and metastasis formation. This study explores naturally occurring flavonoids' interactions with TGF-β. Using molecular docking against the protein's crystal structure (PDB Id: 1PY5), Gossypin showed the highest docking score and underwent molecular dynamics simulation, revealing complex flexibility and explaining how flavonoids impede TGF-β signaling in breast cancer. ADMET predictions adhered to Lipinski's rule of Five. Insights into flavonoid-TGF-β binding offer a novel angle for breast cancer treatment. Flavonoids having a good docking score like gossypin, morin, luteolin and taxifolin shown potent cytotoxic effect on breast cancer cell line, MCF-7. Understanding these interactions could inspire flavonoid-based therapies targeting TGF-β to halt breast cancer growth. These findings pave the way for personalized, targeted breast cancer therapies, offering hope against this formidable disease.

    Abstract Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common complication in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Sildenafil, a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor, is commonly used in patients with ED. This meta-analysis was planned to determine the strength of evidence to assess the efficacy and tolerability of sildenafil in patients with DM-associated ED. Electronic searches were carried out to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which reported clinical efficacy of sildenafil in patients with DM-associated ED. Data were extracted and methodological quality was assessed. Relative Risk (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was estimated for the dichotomous outcomes, and the mean difference with 95% CI was estimated for continuous data. Eight randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 1172 patients met with our inclusion criteria. In comparison to placebo, sildenafil significantly improved the overall sexual performance in patients of ED associated with DM with relative risk (RR) of answering "yes" to global efficiency question being 3.99 (95% CI: 2.58-6.18) compared to placebo. The rate of discontinuation due to treatment-related adverse reactions was 2.4% in sildenafil arm with RR of 2.67 (95% CI: 0.74-9.62). Sildenafil is an effective and safe medication for the treatment of ED associated with DM.
