    Abstract Vitamin D receptor (VDR) is one of the most widely studied genes for the Tuberculosis (TB) susceptibility. Several studies have been conducted to establish some association between them but most of the time they are contradictory and underpowered. So, a trial sequential meta-analysis between VDR gene polymorphisms and TB susceptibility can provide a better understanding of the relationship. A meta-analysis was carried out using a total of 17 case-control studies which includes Fok1 (14 Studies), Bsm1 (8 Studies), Apa1 (8 Studies) and Taq1 (12 Studies) polymorphisms in the VDR gene searched from Pubmed and Google Scholar. Pooled Odds Ratio (OR) and 95% Confidence Interval (CI) were calculated using StatsDirect Version 3, using random effects model. Trial sequential analysis (TSA) was also performed to assess if the statistical significance of the meta-analysis was within monitoring boundaries. It was found that the individuals with BB genotype of Bsm1 polymorphism with OR = 0.713 (95%CI = 0.521, 0.974; p value < 0.05) and FF genotype of Fok1 polymorphism with pooled OR = 0.716 (95%CI = 0.523, 0.979; p value < 0.05) had decreased incidence of TB. Also, the aa genotype of Apa1 gene polymorphism increases susceptibility to TB with pooled OR = 1.997 (95%CI = 1.121, 3.558; p value < 0.05). All these analyses reached the required information size through TSA analysis. No statistically significant result was found for Taq1 polymorphisms and TB susceptibility. VDR polymorphisms in Fok1 and Bsm1 played protective roles against development of TB infection, while Apa1 appeared to have a significant association to TB susceptibility.

    Abstract Advancements in recombinant DNA technology have made proteins and peptides available for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, but their effectiveness when taken orally leads to poor patient compliance, requiring clinical administration. Among the alternative routes, transmucosal delivery has the advantage of being noninvasive and bypassing hepato-gastrointestinal clearance. Various mucosal routes-buccal, nasal, pulmonary, rectal, and vaginal-have been explored for delivering these macromolecules. Nanofibers, due to their unique properties like high surface-area-to-volume ratio, mechanical strength, and improved encapsulation efficiency, serve as promising carriers for proteins and peptides. These nanofibers can be tailored for quick dissolution, controlled release, enhanced encapsulation, targeted delivery, and improved bioavailability, offering superior pharmaceutical and pharmacokinetic performance compared to conventional methods. This leads to reduced dosages, fewer side effects, and enhanced patient compliance. Hence, nanofibers hold tremendous potential for protein/peptide delivery, especially through mucosal routes. This review focuses on the therapeutic application of proteins and peptides, challenges faced in their conventional delivery, techniques for fabricating different types of nanofibers and, various nanofiber-based dosage forms, and factors influencing nanofiber generation. Insights pertaining to the precise selection of materials used for fabricating nanofibers and regulatory aspects have been covered. Case studies wherein the use of specific protein/peptide-loaded nanofibers and delivered via oral/vaginal/nasal mucosa for diagnostic/therapeutic use and related preclinical and clinical studies conducted have been included in this review.

    Abstract: ... pterygium. The Khmer Sight Foundation (KSF) is a charity reincarnated by Professor Sunil Shah and Sean Ngu ...

    Abstract Over 180,000 Cambodian people are blind and a further 10,000 suffer avoidable blindness each year. Ninety percent of this blindness is avoidable, 79% is curable and 11% is preventable. Three-quarters of this blindness is due to cataracts and the remainder is due to uncorrected vision, glaucoma, corneal scarring and pterygium. The Khmer Sight Foundation (KSF) is a charity reincarnated by Professor Sunil Shah and Sean Ngu. Its mission is to deliver a sustainable eye care model for the country. KSF takes a three pronged approach to this. It is working to develop sustainable eye-care within the country through building physical infrastructure. The second approach is to impact the current cataract backlog of over 300,000 patients with the aid of international support. Thirdly, KSF is paving the way for the next generation through the development of an optometry education programme and training of Cambodian ophthalmologists. Here we present the workings of KSF, clinical cases we have encountered and elaborate upon the future goals of this charity.

    Abstract Griscelli syndrome (GS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, which has been classified into three subtypes based on clinical and genetic differences. GS subtype 2 is commonly associated with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and recurrent infections due to immunodeficiency. In this study, we describe a four-month-old boy with genetically proven GS2, with neurological and immunological manifestations. He presented with fever, refusal of feeds, drowsiness, and multiple episodes of seizures. Examination revealed hypopigmented skin, silvery gray hair, and organomegaly. The child developed features of HLH, fulfilling clinical and laboratory criteria. Neuroimaging findings were in concordance with HLH of the central nervous system. Microscopic examination of the hair showed clumps of melanin pigment along the hair shaft. All findings were in favor of GS type 2, complicated with HLH, which was later confirmed with a homozygous deletion of the RAB27A gene on exome sequencing. Unfortunately, the baby succumbed to death due to severe sepsis and multiorgan dysfunction. The silvery gray hair, with typical hair microscopic findings, and association with HLH are strong indicators for this potentially fatal condition and aid in prompt diagnosis and initiation of treatment. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only lifesaving treatment option.

    Abstract Plummer-Vinson syndrome (PVS), also called Patterson-Kelly-Brown syndrome, is a rare cause of dysphagia in children. This syndrome is associated with single or multiple webs in the upper esophagus with frequent iron deficiency. PVS usually occurs in adults, particularly in Caucasian middle-aged women, in the fourth to seventh decade of life, and is rare in childhood. There are various theories about what causes PVS. One theory suggests that iron deficiency plays a crucial role in its development. Iron repletion often improves dysphagia, although some patients require esophageal dilatation or bougienage. Herein, we describe the case of a 4-year-old male child, having complaints of difficulty in swallowing solid food, diagnosed with PVS.

    Abstract Antimicrobials have traditionally been the only chemotherapeutic option for treating periodontitis and peri-implant disorders. With a growing understanding of the host–pathogen interactions in periodontal pathogenesis, novel therapeutic options for periodontitis and peri-implant disorders are developed by focusing on the host response with host-modulating drugs. When employed as host-modifying agents, a variety of sub-antimicrobial dose doxycycline (SDD), bisphosphonates and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were found to be successful in both experimental animal research and human trials. The current state and future prospects of host modulatory agents used to treat peri-implant disease are discussed in this evidence-based review.
