    Abstract Taqashure jild (TJ) is an Arabic word for scaling or sloughing of the skin. There are numerous skin diseases included in the Unani system of medicine; several of these diseases may resemble psoriasis, with TJ being the most likely candidate. The classic literature of the Unani system of medicine, including The Canon of Medicine (Al-Qanun Fittib), Continens Liber (Kitabul Hawi), Hippocratic Treatments (Moalajat Buqratiya), and The Complete Book of the Medical Art (Kamil-u-Sana), have described TJ as a disease characterized by scaling, roughness, and increased thickness due to abnormal melancholic humor (Sawda Ghayr Tabiiyya).

    Abstract Introduction: Hyperuricemia (HU) is a health risk that may go undiagnosed and is on the rise in both developed and developing countries. Gout, the most common inflammatory arthritis characterized by painful, disabling acute attack, is widely known to be caused by hyperuricemia. Its prevalence ranges from 2.6% to 36% in different populations. The commonly used drugs for alleviating uric acid and gout have obvious side effects, so herbal therapeutic drugs are in high demand. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Aristolochia rotunda Linn in Hyperuricemia.
    Methods: Present study was designed as a single-blind randomized standard controlled trial with 20 patients in each group. Participants in the test group were administered A. rotunda Linn 4 gms in two divided doses in capsule form and the control group was given Febuxostat 40 mg once daily after meals for 28 days. Participants were asked to follow up weekly for the assessment of subjective parameters. The objective parameter was assessed pre- and post-trial. The results were analysed statistically.
    Results: After the intervention, the test and control groups showed a statistically significant reduction in serum uric acid p = 0.021 and p < 0.01 respectively, while the reduction in the control group was found to be more statistically significant than the test group (p = 0.009). Subjective parameters also showed statistical significance at the end of the trial.
    Conclusion: This study shows that the A. rotunda Linn in a dose of 4 gm for 28 days effectively lowers serum uric acid. The trial was registered in the clinical trial registry of India under CTRI No. CTRI//2020/02/031587.

    Abstract Esophageal cancer (EC) remains a significant health challenge globally, with increasing incidence and high mortality rates. Despite advances in treatment, there remains a need for improved diagnostic methods and understanding of disease progression. This study addresses the significant challenges in the automatic classification of EC, particularly in distinguishing its primary subtypes: adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, using histopathology images. Traditional histopathological diagnosis, while being the gold standard, is subject to subjectivity and human error and imposes a substantial burden on pathologists. This study proposes a binary class classification system for detecting EC subtypes in response to these challenges. The system leverages deep learning techniques and tissue-level labels for enhanced accuracy. We utilized 59 high-resolution histopathological images from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Esophageal Carcinoma dataset (TCGA-ESCA). These images were preprocessed, segmented into patches, and analyzed using a pre-trained ResNet101 model for feature extraction. For classification, we employed five machine learning classifiers: Support Vector Classifier (SVC), Logistic Regression (LR), Decision Tree (DT), AdaBoost (AD), Random Forest (RF), and a Feed-Forward Neural Network (FFNN). The classifiers were evaluated based on their prediction accuracy on the test dataset, yielding results of 0.88 (SVC and LR), 0.64 (DT and AD), 0.82 (RF), and 0.94 (FFNN). Notably, the FFNN classifier achieved the highest Area Under the Curve (AUC) score of 0.92, indicating its superior performance, followed closely by SVC and LR, with a score of 0.87. This suggested approach holds promising potential as a decision-support tool for pathologists, particularly in regions with limited resources and expertise. The timely and precise detection of EC subtypes through this system can substantially enhance the likelihood of successful treatment, ultimately leading to reduced mortality rates in patients with this aggressive cancer.

    Abstract A novel Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction employing electron-deficient alkenes like acrylonitrile with a wide range of aryl and aliphatic ketones using cooperative catalysis in micellar media has been delineated. This transformation executed in water under mild reaction conditions in a confined environment of micelles is aligned to the ideas of sustainable and green chemistry. The site of the reaction was established by incisive proton NMR studies in the palisade region of the micellar assembly. This study is expected to encourage the use of micellar catalysis for energetically less favorable chemical reactions.

    Abstract Introduction: Open fractures are unique in the urgency they impart to the injury and the therapeutic challenge they pose. Non-union and infection are among the major concerns. Open tibial and femoral shaft fractures are among the commonest orthopaedic urgencies. Primary intramedullary (IM) nailing requires a skillset and knowledge of the principles of open fracture management and also a well-equipped operating room with the necessary implants and instruments. In a low resource setting, one or more of these prerequisites may not be met, and the outcome may thus be affected similarly. The objective of this study was to study these outcomes.
    Methods: We prospectively studied primary IM nailing of open 1, 2 and 3A tibial and femoral fractures done in our hospital, in a simple non-modular operating room without an image intensifier.
    Results: There were 106 fractures in 104 patients: 93 tibial and 13 femoral. The mean time from injury to surgical debridement was 19.6 h. Mean duration of antibiotics therapy was 4.3 days, and the mean duration of hospital stay was 4.1 days. All patients were followed up to union. Mean time to radiographic union was 6.1 months for the tibia and 5.7 months for the femur. Non-union was seen in 4 tibial and 1 femoral fractures. There were 3 superficial infections but no deep infection.
    Conclusion: The outcomes were comparable to, and in some cases better than, those found in existing literature. We conclude that primary IM nailing in open long bone fractures can be performed in austere environments with good success, in expert hands if the principles are adhered to.

    Abstract Background: Primary hyperoxaluria (PH) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the excessive production and accumulation of oxalate. We present five cases of PH, each exhibiting varying manifestations of the disorder including a case presenting as postpartum kidney failure. Notably, three of these cases involve a previously unreported mutation.
    Case presentations: We evaluated five Indian patients who presented with varying manifestations of PH. The first case, a 30 year old woman, presented as post-partum kidney failure and was found to be having oxalate nephropathy precipitated by dietary oxalate overload in the setting of previously undiagnosed PH. Genetic analysis revealed a previously unreported mutation in the alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase gene. The patient underwent simultaneous kidney liver transplant. The second and third cases, 26 and 28 year old women respectively, were asymptomatic siblings of the first patient, who were diagnosed through screening. The fourth case is a 12 year boy with PH type 1 presenting as nephrolithiasis and rapidly worsening kidney function requiring combined kidney liver kidney transplant. Case 5 is a 6 year old male child with type 2 PH presenting with nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis and normal kidney function. All the patients were born to consanguineous parents.
    Conclusions: Due to limited clinical suspicion and inadequate diagnostic resources in certain countries with limited resources, it is possible for PH to go undiagnosed. The manifestations of the disease can range from no noticeable symptoms to severe disease. Interestingly, in some individuals with primary hyperoxaluria, the disease may not exhibit any symptoms until it is triggered by a high intake of dietary oxalate.

    Abstract Melancholia is a Latin transcription of the Greek word melaina chole, which in ancient Greece mainly meant “biliousness,” and was also used, in medical speech “to signify insane or anxious conduct. In Unani system of medicine, Melancholia is classified into three categories according to the site affected by the disease. Persian scholars, including Rhazes, Ahmad bin Mohammad Tabri, Haly Abbas, and Avicenna, have given a detailed description of this disorder as a disease. Avicenna, in his treatise, The Canon of Medicine (Al-Qanun Fittib) has defined it as a kind of disorder in which imagination and judgment are so perverted that the victims become very sad and fearful. Some surveys were performed on Unani literature about melancholia and depression. The books consulted were mainly The Canon of Medicine (Al-Qanun Fittib), The Complete Book of the Medical Art (Kamil Sana), College (Kitabbul Kulliyat), Kitabul Umda Fil Jarahat, Tib Akbar. This study is constructed on a scrupulous overview of writings, compositions, and publications on melancholia and depression using internet sources like Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, Medline. There are numerous similarities between melancholia, a disease described in Unani system of medicine, and present-day depression, described in the conventional system of medicine. There are also a few differences between the two. Unani scholars were aware of psychiatric disorders and the concept is a collaborative effort of both ancient and conventional systems of medicine.
