    Abstract Phenolic acids are now receiving a great deal of interest as pervasive human dietary constituents that have various therapeutic applications against chronic and age-related diseases. One such phenolic acid that is being utilized in traditional medicine is chlorogenic acid (CGA). It is one of the most readily available phytochemicals that can be isolated from the leaves and fruits of plants, such as coffee beans (Coffea arabica L.), apples (Malus spp.), artichoke (Cynara cardunculus L.), carrots (Daucus carota L.), betel (Piper betle L.), burdock (Arctium spp.), etc. Despite its low oral bioavailability (about 33%), CGA has drawn considerable attention due to its wide range of biological activities and numerous molecular targets. Several studies have reported that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potentials of CGA mainly account for its broad-spectrum pharmacological attributes. CGA has been implicated in exerting a beneficial role against dysbiosis by encouraging the growth of beneficial GUT microbes. At the biochemical level, its therapeutic action is mediated by free radical scavenging efficacy, modulation of glucose and lipid metabolism, down-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β, and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), upregulation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2), and inhibition of the activity of nuclear factor- κβ (NF-κβ), thus helping in the management of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, hypertension etc. This review highlights the natural sources of CGA, its bioavailability, metabolism, pharmacotherapeutic potential, and underlying mechanisms of action for the clinical usefulness of CGA in the management of health disorders.

    Abstract Pancreatic tuberculosis is a rare form of Tuberculosis (TB) which requires a high index of suspicion to diagnose. Here, we report a case of middle-aged gentleman presenting with abdominal pain and constitutional symptoms who was diagnosed with pancreatic tuberculosis on imaging, which was confirmed by Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) from the lesion. The patient was given Anti-Tubercular Treatment (ATT) as per conventional protocol. Follow-up showed recovery from the entity. A review of patient presentation, patho-physiology, diagnosis, and management of pancreatic tuberculosis is mentioned in this article.

    Abstract Study of radon concentration in drinking water from different sources (groundwater and surface water) used across the Hanumangarh district of Rajasthan, India, was done using scintillation-based detector. The concentration of radon in surface water varied from 0.12 to 2.07 Bq/l with an average value of 0.62 Bq/l and a standard deviation of 0.55 Bq/l and in groundwater samples varied from 1.61 to 8.73 Bq/l with an average value of 4.8 Bq/l and a standard deviation of 2.24 Bq/l. The ingestion and inhalation dose were calculated to assess the health risk for infants, children and adults. The resulting average annual effective dose has been found to be considerably lower than the recommended safe limit of 0.1 msv/y (WHO, In: Incorporating first and second addenda, third ed. WHO Press, Geneva. 3rd ed. World Health Organisation, Geneva, Switzerland, 2008). It can be concluded that radon in water does not pose a significant radiological health risk to the population of the studied area.

    Abstract Purpose: To review the clinical studies describing the use of ipsilateral biceps tendon autograft for bridging irreparable massive rotator cuff tears (MRCTs).
    Methods: A systematic review was conducted of MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, CINAHL, and Scopus databases using search terms "massive rotator cuff tear," "irreparable rotator cuff tear," and "long head of the biceps tendon." Only clinical human studies in which the biceps tendon was used as a bridging graft in MRCTs were included. All review studies, technique papers, and studies describing the use of biceps tendon as superior capsular reconstruction equivalent or rotator cable were excluded.
    Results: A total of 45 studies were initially identified, of which only 6 studies met the inclusion criterion. All studies were retrospective in nature, with a total of 176 patients. All studies reported a clinically significant improvement in postoperative functional outcomes, although this was not compared to a control group in all the studies. Pain was assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS) in 4 studies, and all reported an improvement in postoperative VAS ranging from 5 to 6 points. One study reported an improvement in pain scale from Japanese Orthopedic Association from 13.1 to 22.5 (9 points). One study did not report a VAS score as this study was published before the VAS score was developed. All the reported studies saw improvements in range of motion.
    Conclusions: The use of the long head of the biceps tendon as an interposition/bridging patch to augment the MRCT repair can reduce the VAS score, improve elevation and external rotation, and improve clinical and functional outcomes.
    Level of evidence: IV, systematic review of Level III and IV studies.

    Abstract Background: Prostatic cancer is the second most common malignant tumor in men. Preoperative grading of prostate cancer is important for its management. Our objective is to compare individual and combined detection rates of T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), dynamic contrast enhanced-magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI), and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) for prostate cancer with histopathological diagnosis as its golden standard.
    Methods: Forty-four patients with positive digital rectal examination (DRE) findings and elevated prostate specific antigen (PSA), underwent multiparametric MRI (Mp-MRI). T2WI, DWI, DCE-MRI and MRS were done in all the patients. Cognitive magnetic resonance-transrectal ultrasound (MR-TRUS) fusion biopsy was done in all the patients. Sensitivity and specificity of T2WI, DWI, DCE-MRI, and Prostate Imaging - Reporting and Data System PIRADS version 2 was obtained. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value and choline/citrate ratio were obtained for each lesion and correlated with histopathological grade.
    Results: The mean age of the patients was 68.7 ± 10.1 years, and the mean serum PSA level was 58.1 ± 22.4 ng/dL. Of the 38 lesions in peripheral zone, 33 (87%) had histopathologically proven prostate cancer. T2WI had a sensitivity and specificity of 75.8% and 80% and DWI had a sensitivity and specificity of 90.9% and 80%, respectively, for detection of malignant prostatic lesion. The mean ADC values for prostate cancer, prostatitis, and normal prostatic parenchyma were 0.702 ± 0.094 × 10-3 mm2/sec, 0.959 ± 0.171 × 10-3 mm2/sec, and 1.31 ± 0.223 × 10-3 mm2/sec, respectively. Type 3 curve has lower sensitivity (45.5%) but high specificity (80%) for diagnosing prostate cancer.
    Conclusion: DWI can be useful to differentiate benign from malignant prostatic lesions, and low-grade from high-grade prostate carcinoma. ADC value has a positive correlation with histopathological grade of prostate cancer.

    Abstract Stentolith is a forgotten stent that acts as a nidus for stone formation leading to a stone-stent complex. Once the planned procedure is completed, these stents should be removed within 4 to 6 weeks, but if they are required for a longer period, then they should be replaced every 3 to 6 months. Devastating complications may ensue -such as cholangitis, biliary stricture, or secondary biliary cirrhosis. Management primarily comprises surgical intervention with common bile duct exploration or endoscopic clearance. The majority of patients eventually develop symptoms that lead to their diagnosis and subsequent management. This article, however, details the case of a silent stentolith and how it may have led to disastrous complications if surgical intervention was not done promptly.

    Abstract The aim of this literature review is to encompass the importance of integrating smartphones in the life of a surgeon especially in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. With the progression of technology, telesurgery, remote pre and postoperative care, smartphone-assisted intraoperative navigation and transcontinental education can be made a reality. Nonetheless, rates of nosocomial infections have been raised and the increased use of a smartphone can compound this issue. Similarly, there is a greater potential for operator distraction, medical equipment interference and increased radiation exposure for the user. All the above create a new set of problems for the surgeon. We hereby attempt a review of the advantages and harmful effects from the usage of smartphones.
