    Abstract Background and aim: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) under epidural anesthesia has been reported to have few advantages over general anesthesia, like lower postoperative pain and less need for analgesics. There are limited studies on PCNL being performed under neuraxial anesthesia in supine position. Hence the present study was conceived to compare hemodynamic parameters in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in the supine position under combined spinal-epidural with general anesthesia (GA).
    Material and methods: A prospective, randomized control trial was conducted among 90 patients who were posted to undergo elective percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the the supine position, after obtaining Institutional Ethical Committee (IEC) approval and CTRI (Clinical Trial Registry - India) registration. Patients were randomly allotted to undergo surgery either under general anesthesia (group GA) or combined spinal epidural anesthesia (group CSE) by computer-generated random number method. Hemodynamic parameters, postoperative analgesic requirement and incidence of blood transfusion were recorded and analyzed.
    Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups with respect to gender, ASA grade, surgery duration, calculus size and pulse rate. There was a statistically significant reduction in mean arterial pressure from 5 to 50 minutes of surgery and less incidence of blood transfusion in patients in the CSE group. Patients who underwent PCNL in the supine position under CSE required lesser analgesics postoperatively compared to those under general anesthesia.
    Conclusion: Combined spinal epidural analgesia can be used as an alternative to general anesthesia for patients undergoing PCNL in the supine position in view of less MAP and reduced postoperative analgesic and blood transfusion requirement.

    Abstract Background: Galls or the neoplastic growth on plants result from a complex type of interaction between the inducers (Acari, Insects, Microbes and Nematodes) and plants. The present study sheds light on the gall inducing habit of a highly host specific eriophyid mite, Aceria pongamiae, on the leaves of Pongamia pinnata leading to the production of abnormal pouch like outgrowths on the adaxial and abaxial surfaces of the foliage. Each leaf gall is a highly complex, irregular massive structure, and the formation of which often leads to complete destruction of leaves, especially during heavy mite infestation, and thereby adversely affecting the physiology and growth of the host plant.
    Results: The study was carried out by making comparative observations on FE-SEM histological sections of galls representing four different growth stages categorized on the basis of difference in age groups. Apart from variations in cell metaplasia, a dramatic change was observed in the abaxial-adaxial polarity of the laminar surfaces also throughout the developmental sequence of galls, in all the four growth stages. Significant variations could be observed in the anti-oxidative potency as well as elemental composition in the all the four age groups of galls, and also revealed ATR-FTIR pattern of gall formation.
    Conclusion: Being the first attempt to unravel the mystery of gall induction by eriophyids in general and by A. pongamiae in particular, on its host plant P.pinnata, by shedding light on the structural and histological alterations taking place during leaf gall formation under the influence of the mite, the current study is to be treated as the model of plant-animal interactive system.

    Abstract Galls, like other regular plant organs, possess their own histological and physiological features. A high degree of specificity is maintained between the host and the inducer, and hence gall morphogenesis is highly conserved and would help trace gall lineages and cell fate. The present study highlights the induction and subsequent development of leaf galls on the Indian Beech tree, Pongamia pinnata (L) Pierre (Fabaceae), mediated through the active participation of a gall-inducing species of eriophyid mite, Aceria pongamiae Keifer and gall-associated bacterial endobiome. The saliva of A. pongamiae and selected strains of gall-associated bacterial endobiome were characterized in part during the study. Three strains of Staphylococcus arlettae (PGP1-3) and one strain of Bacillus flexus (PGP4) were identified from the leaf galls through 16S rDNA sequencing. The mite saliva displayed tryptophanase activity, and the bacterial strains showed differential enzyme activities (protease, amylase, cellulase, DNAse, pectinase, tryptophanase, and catalase). All four strains of bacterial endobiome exhibited unique metal tolerance as well as pH and temperature regulating activity. Evaluation of the potential role of the mite saliva and the gall associated bacterial endobiome in gallogenesis was done by monitoring the plant growth-promoting activity of the salivary extract and the isolated bacterial strains through in vitro seed (Vigna radiata) germination assay. Salivary extract of the mite showed the highest rate of plant growth-promoting activity compared with that of the isolated strains of bacterial endobiome. The present study forms the first attempt that illustrates the characteristic features of the saliva of the gall inducer and the gall associated bacterial endobiome. Based on the results of the current study, we suggest that eriophyid mite saliva and the gall-associated microbes play significant roles in the induction of cecidia.

    Abstract COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, is a socioeconomic burden, which exhibits respiratory illness along with unexpected neurological complications. Concerns have been raised about whether the observed neurological symptoms are due to direct effects on CNS or associated with the virus's systemic effect. Recent SARS-CoV-2 infection studies using human brain organoids revealed that SARS-CoV-2 targets human neurons. Human brain organoids are stem cell-derived reductionist experimental systems that have highlighted the neurotropic effects of SARS-CoV-2. Here, we summarize the neurotoxic effects of SARS-CoV-2 using brain organoids and comprehensively discuss how brain organoids could further improve our understanding when they are fine-tuned.

    Abstract Local Anesthetics are used clinically for anesthesia and analgesia either following surgery or for management of acute and chronic pain conditions. Liposomal Encapsulation aids in improved delivery at the tissue level. This paper deals with formulation and characterization of Gadus morhua derived liposome encapsulated Lidocaine nanoparticles.
    Materials and methods: Water Soluble liposomes were synthesized and encapsulated to lidocaine. The prepared liposomes were assessed using field emission scanning electron microscope, TEM, FTIR, Zetapotential, Anti-inflammatory property and Drug release kinetics.
    Results: The structural and morphological characters of the conjugated liposomes were studied using SEM & TEM, surface charge Zetapotential. The cumulative drug release was studied for up to 72 h in which more than 70 % of the drug was released from the Liposomal nanoparticles. FTIR revealed similar functional groups like the control. Stability of the drug was superior than the control.
    Conclusion: Liposomal conjugation delays the drug release which can be used in slow release applications. Improving the drug release kinetics can be advantageous in many chronic pain conditions. Additionally, the changes in the functional groups can also aid in reduction or masking of bitterness.

    Abstract Brain organoids are stem cell-based self-assembling 3D structures that recapitulate early events of human brain development. Recent improvements with patient-specific 3D brain organoids have begun to elucidate unprecedented details of the defective mechanisms that cause neurodevelopmental disorders of congenital and acquired microcephaly. In particular, brain organoids derived from primary microcephaly patients have uncovered mechanisms that deregulate neural stem cell proliferation, maintenance, and differentiation. Not only did brain organoids reveal unknown aspects of neurogenesis but also have illuminated surprising roles of cellular structures of centrosomes and primary cilia in regulating neurogenesis during brain development. Here, we discuss how brain organoids have started contributing to decoding the complexities of microcephaly, which are unlikely to be identified in the existing non-human models. Finally, we discuss the yet unresolved questions and challenges that can be addressed with the use of brain organoids as
