    Abstract A case of cardioembolic stroke in a patient with sinus of Valsalva aneurysm. The patient presented with chief complaints of syncope, with slurring of speech and a history of deviation of angle of mouth to the right side, which resolved over one day. Examination revealed no focal neurological deficit. CT Brain revealed a lacunar infarct over the left frontal cortex. Echocardiography showed sinus of Valsalva aneurysm of the non-coronary cusp. Hence a diagnosis of cardioembolic stroke secondary to thrombus present in the sinus of Valsalva of the aneurysm was considered. This is a rare presentation of Sinus of Valsalva as a cardioembolic stroke.

    Abstract Hypothyroidism and obesity are common coexisting illnesses which have an impact on each other. Data from India suggests that about a third of individuals with obesity have overt hypothyroidism and about one-tenth have subclinical hypothyroidism. Multiple mechanisms have described how both thyroid and obesity could have a significant impact on each other. A moderately elevated TSH, elevated T3 and a lower T4 is classically described thyroid dysfunction in patients with obesity. This article will detail the epidemiology, pathogenesis and the clinical implications of weight gain and thyroid dysfunction with a special focus on women.

    Abstract India has a high incidence of poisoning, especially in the rural setting with plant-based compounds being used as a common agent. Oleander poisoning is a common shrub seen throughout the tropics including nearly all parts of India. It continues to remain an important cause for both accidental and deliberate self-harm in the community with all parts of the plant containing toxin sufficient to cause poisoning. There is enough evidence to show that oleander poisoning continues as one of the more common plant-based causes for poisoning. This review looks at the common management principles and provides an update on the currently available treatment strategies and evidence for them.

    Abstract Choreographing the adaptive shapes of patterned surfaces to exhibit designable mechanical interactions with their environment remains an intricate challenge. Here, a novel category of strain-engineered dynamic-shape materials, empowering diverse multi-dimensional shape modulations that are combined to form fine-grained adaptive microarchitectures is introduced. Using micro-origami tessellation technology, heterogeneous materials are provided with strategic creases featuring stimuli-responsive micro-hinges that morph precisely upon chemical and electrical cues. Freestanding multifaceted foldable packages, auxetic mesosurfaces, and morphable cages are three of the forms demonstrated herein of these complex 4-dimensional (4D) metamaterials. These systems are integrated in dual proof-of-concept bioelectronic demonstrations: a soft foldable supercapacitor enhancing its power density (≈108 mW cm

    Abstract Objective: We examined whether mean magnetic susceptibility values from deep gray matter structures in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) differed from those in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and healthy volunteers, and correlated with the PSP rating scale.
    Methods: Head of caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus, substantia nigra and red nucleus were the regions of interest. Mean susceptibility values from these regions in PSP patients were estimated using quantitative susceptibility mapping. Correlations with clinical severity of disease as measured by the PSP rating scale were examined. The mean susceptibility values were also compared with those from healthy volunteers and age- and disease duration-matched patients with PD.
    Results: Data from 26 healthy volunteers, 26 patients with PD and 27 patients with PSP, were analysed. Patients with PSP had higher mean susceptibility values from all regions of interest when compared to both the other groups. The PSP rating scale scores correlated strongly with mean susceptibility values from the red nucleus and moderately with those from the putamen and substantia nigra. The scores did not correlate with mean susceptibility values from the caudate nucleus or globus pallidus. In patients with PD, the motor deficits correlated moderately with mean susceptibility values from substantia nigra.
    Conclusions: In patients with PSP, mean susceptibility values indicating the severity of mineralization of basal ganglia and related structures correlate with disease severity, the correlation of red nucleus being the strongest. Further studies are warranted to explore whether mean susceptibility values could serve as biomarkers for PSP.

    Abstract Introduction: The cerebellum and basal ganglia were initially considered anatomically distinct regions, each connected
    Methods: In this study, we validated and expanded the previous findings of the structural connectivity within the cerebellum-basal ganglia subcortical network, in a larger dataset of 64 subjects, across different age ranges. Tractography and fixel-based analysis were performed on the 3 T diffusion-weighted dataset using Mrtrix3 software, considering fiber density and cross-section as indicators of axonal integrity. Tractography of the well-established cerebello-thalamo-cortical tract was conducted as a control. We tested the relationship between the structural white matter integrity of these connections with aging and with the performance in different domains of Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination.
    Results: Tractography analysis isolated connections from the dentate nucleus to the contralateral putamen
    Conclusion: We validated the structural connectivity within the cerebellum-basal ganglia reciprocal network, in a larger dataset of human subjects, across wider age range. The structural features of the subcortical cerebello-basal ganglia tracts in human subjects display age-related neurodegeneration. Individual morphological variability of cerebellar tracts to the striatum and prefrontal cortex was associated with different cognitive functions, suggesting a functional contribution of cerebellar tracts to cognitive decline with aging. This study offers new perspectives to consider the functional role of these pathways in motor learning and the pathophysiology of movement disorders involving the cerebellum and striatum.

    Abstract COVID-19 has taken the world by storm in the ongoing pandemic. The virus responsible for COVID-19 disease is 'severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2' SARS-CoV-2, an enveloped RNA beta-coronavirus from the family Coronaviridae. There have been similar beta-coronavirus disease outbreaks previously: Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS - 2002) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS - 2012) epidemics. SARS-CoV-2 origins have been traced to bat reservoirs. A virus with a high capacity for mutation, SARS-CoV-2 poses unique challenges both in the current form of disease control and management, while also leaving the door open for future novel diseases and pandemics. An understanding of the virion structure and genomic organisation will help us in understanding their origins and likely course of future evolution. Moreover, novel cost-effective methodologies for genetic surveillance may help in mitigating the emergence of these viral infections in future. In this manuscript, the authors have detailed the unique aspects of the SARS-CoV-2 virus genome and its clinical implications.
