    Abstract γδ T cells play an important role in disease control in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and have become an emerging area of therapeutic interest. These cells represent a minor population of T lymphocytes with intrinsic abilities to recognize antigens in a major histocompatibility complex-independent manner and functionally straddle the innate and adaptive immunity interface. AML shows high expression of phosphoantigens and UL-16 binding proteins that activate the Vδ2 and Vδ1 subtypes of γδ T cells, respectively, leading to γδ T cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Insights from murine models and clinical data in humans show improved overall survival, leukemia-free survival, reduced risk of relapse, enhanced graft-versus-leukemia effect, and decreased graft-versus-host disease in patients with AML who have higher reconstitution of γδ T cells following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Clinical trials leveraging γδ T cell biology have used unmodified and modified allogeneic cells as well as bispecific engagers and monoclonal antibodies. In this review, we discuss γδ T cells' biology, roles in cancer and AML, and mechanisms of immune escape and antileukemia effect; we also discuss recent clinical advances related to γδ T cells in the field of AML therapeutics.

    Abstract The therapeutic potential of targeting adenosine A 2A receptors (A 2A Rs) is immense due to their broad expression in the body and central nervous system. The role of A 2A Rs in cardiovascular function, inflammation, sleep/wake behaviors, cognition, and other primary nervous system functions has been extensively studied. Numerous A 2A R agonist and antagonist molecules are reported, many of which are currently in clinical trials or have already been approved for treatment. Allosteric modulators can selectively elicit a physiologic response only where and when the orthosteric ligand is released, which reduces the risk of an adverse effect resulting from A 2A R activation. Thus, these allosteric modulators have a potential therapeutic advantage over classical agonist and antagonist molecules. This review focuses on the recent developments regarding allosteric A 2A R modulation, which is a promising area for future pharmaceutical research because the list of existing allosteric A 2A R modulators and their physiologic effects is still short.

    Abstract Purpose: The Hospital Corneal Retrieval Program (HCRP) aims to counsel and encourage the family of a critically ill or deceased person in the hospital for eye donation. Adequately sensitized health-care workers (HCWs) may play a pivotal role in boosting HCRP.
    Study design: Multicentric, cross-sectional, descriptive study.
    Methods: Study participants included all HCWs of three medical colleges, including one with eye bank and corneal transplant services. A pretested, structured questionnaire was used to record the awareness, knowledge, and attitude about eye donation among HCWs. The expected outcome was to seek differences in awareness, if any, among medical and paramedical workers of medical colleges with (group A) or without (group B) eye bank and corneal transplant facilities.
    Results: Of the 4060 study participants, 2100 HCWs were in group A and the rest (1960) were in group B. For eight out of 13 questions assessing awareness and perception, a statistically insignificant difference in responses was observed between the two groups. Regarding questions related to attitude, although the majority of HCWs in both groups were comfortable talking about eye donation, they did feel that counseling relatives of a terminally ill patient about eye donation was insensitive. Less than half of HCWs showed a willingness to donate eyes, and about half of the participants wanted to acquire more knowledge about eye donation.
    Conclusion: Awareness regarding eye donation among HCWs was mostly found to be at dismal levels, irrespective of whether they worked in an institute with or without eye bank and corneal transplant services. This warrants an accelerated effort at sensitizing HCWs as a strengthening measure for HCRP.

    Abstract Background: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a commonly performed procedure by the bronchoscopist for the evaluation of mediastinal lesions. However, evidence directly comparing the nasal and oral routes to guide the choice of an optimal insertion approach is scanty.
    Methods: In this prospective, parallel-group, open-label randomized clinical trial, adults posted for a linear EBUS-TBNA examination under conscious sedation were randomized to undergo the procedure via the nasal or oral route. The primary objective was to assess the equivalence of subject-rated tolerance of EBUS-TBNA procedure in the 2 groups. Key secondary objectives were to assess the equivalence of subject-rated overall experience, willingness for a repeat procedure, operator-rated subject's tolerance, and operator-rated ease of performing the procedure.
    Results: One hundred and eighty subjects were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the nasal (n=98) or oral (n=82) group. Outcome measures were assessed by both per-protocol (PP) and intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis. Subject-rated procedural tolerance, overall satisfaction and operator's ease of performing the procedure were found to be equivalent in the 2 groups ( P <0.05 in all cases for PP and ITT analysis). The operator-rated subject's tolerance was, however, nonequivalent ( P =0.0596, 0.1286 for PP and ITT, respectively). Subject's willingness to undergo a repeat procedure was similar in both groups [90% CI of difference in proportions: (-0.023, 0.121) in PP and (-0.028, 0.115) in ITT analysis].
    Conclusion: Nasal route for EBUS-TBNA could be considered where it is feasible and preferable for the patient as well as the operator.

    Abstract Purpose: To report the intraocular pressure (IOP) and visual outcomes in patients operated for phacomorphic glaucoma in a developing country.
    Methods: Patients undergone surgery for phacomorphic glaucoma between January 2015 and February 2018 with a minimum follow-up of 6 months were reviewed. Multinomial logistic regression was used to predict final visual acuity with different preoperative variables. A Kaplan-Meier analysis was done to calculate survival probabilities at different time points.
    Results: Presenting IOP of study eye was 38.3±13.4 mmHg with 97.91% (n=94/96) patients on AGMs (mean: 2.7±1.08). Mean duration of complaints was 7.7±6.3 days. The most common postoperative complication was severe anterior chamber inflammation with or without fibrin membrane (in 29.16% eyes). The mean follow-up period was 14.5±9.2 months. At the last visit, the CDVA was 20/30 or better in 54/96 (56.25%) eyes, the mean IOP was 13.6±2.6 mmHg and 30 (31.25%) eyes required additional AGM with the mean number being 1.5±0.6. Two eyes required trabeculectomies for IOP control. The mean survival time of complete and qualified success was 28.5±1.9 and 41.2±0.05 months respectively. The probability of complete and qualified success at month 42 was 11% and 98%. Duration of complains and VCDR were found to be associated with final visual acuity.
    Conclusions: There was a positive correlation between shorter duration of symptoms with post-operative visual gain, but the glaucomatous damage showed a plateau effect at the IOP of around 35 mmHg. It is not the level of IOP, rather its duration which determines the degree of visual loss.

    Abstract Conventional applications of transplant technology, applied to severe traumatic injuries of the nervous system, have met limited success in the clinics due to the complexity of restoring function to the damaged tissue. Neural tissue engineering aims to deploy scaffolds mimicking the physiological properties of the extracellular matrix to facilitate the elongation of axons and the repair of damaged nerves. However, the fabrication of ideal scaffolds with precisely controlled thickness, texture, porosity, alignment, and with the required mechanical strength, features needed for effective clinical applications, remains technically challenging. We took advantage of state-of-the-art 2-photon photolithography to fabricate highly ordered and biocompatible 3D nanogrid structures to enhance neuronal directional growth. First, we characterized the physical and chemical properties and proved the biocompatibility of said scaffolds by successfully culturing primary sensory and motor neurons on their surface. Interestingly, axons extended along the fibers with a high degree of alignment to the pattern of the nanogrid, as opposed to the lack of directionality observed on flat glass or polymeric surfaces, and could grow in 3D between different layers of the scaffold. The axonal growth pattern observed is highly desirable for the treatment of traumatic nerve damage occurring during peripheral and spinal cord injuries. Thus, our findings provide a proof of concept and explore the possibility of deploying aligned fibrous 3D scaffold/implants for the directed growth of axons, and could be used in the design of scaffolds targeted towards the restoration and repair of lost neuronal connections.

    Abstract When non-invasive tests are unable to define the epileptogenic zone in patients, intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) is a method of localising the epileptogenic zone. Compared to non-invasive evaluations, it offers more precise information about patterns of epileptiform activity, which results in useful diagnostic information that supports surgical decision-making. The primary aim of the present study was to assess the utility of iEEG for definitive surgery for patients suffering from drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). Online databases like PubMed, Medline, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and IEEE explorer were searched for MeSH terms and free-text keywords. ROBINS I critical appraisal tool was used for quality assessment. Prevalence from different studies was pooled together using the inverse variance heterogeneity method. Eggers regression analysis and funnel plot were used to evaluate publication bias. The systematic review included eighteen studies, while the meta-analysis included ten studies to estimate the prevalence of seizure freedom (class I Engel) in patients undergoing surgery after iEEG. There were 526 patients in all that were included in the meta-analysis. The period of follow-up ranged from one to ten years. The overall pooled estimate of the prevalence of seizure freedom (class I Engel) in patients undergoing surgery after iEEG was 53% (95% CI: 44, 62). The results additionally demonstrated that twelve studies had a moderate risk of bias, whereas six studies had a low risk. Future studies are crucial to enhance our understanding of iEEG, guiding patient choices and unraveling their implications.
