    Abstract Indians have a pattern of atherogenic dyslipidaemia characterised by not so high LDL-C but elevated small, dense LDL-C, elevated triglyceride levels and low HDL-C levels. In addition, different lipid-lowering drugs exhibit pharmacokinetic variability in Indians, which may have implications on the optimum doses required to achieve the desired LDL-C levels. Currently the management of dyslipidaemia in Indians are based on the landmark trials, which largely included western population. This review focusses on major clinical trials of lipid lowering drugs with special reference to the Indian population.

    Abstract Pericarditis is a disorder defined by inflammation of the pericardium, commonly presenting with chest pain, fever, and pericardial friction. Electrocardiography (EKG) is frequently utilized to diagnose pericarditis, as it frequently reveals particular changes like ST-segment elevations and PR-segment depressions. Nevertheless, there are cases where individuals show all symptoms of pericarditis yet present an atypical or irregular EKG. This case report intends to highlight the case of a patient who came to an outpatient medical facility with all the common symptoms of pericarditis yet presented an atypical electrocardiogram. Moreover, this report intends to look into the hypothesis that in patients showing symptoms of pericarditis but with an atypical EKG, we might be looking at an irregular or even non-specific variant of pericarditis. This highlights the value of an extensive diagnostic approach consisting of high-quality imaging studies, such as transthoracic echocardiography, as well as medical assessments if an EKG does not give definite proof of pericarditis.

    Abstract Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) show behavioral problems due to prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE). A previous study reports changes in gene expressions linked to fatty acid (FA) metabolism in the cerebral cortex of the PAE mouse model. We find an increase of palmitic acid and arachidonic acid in phospholipid in the cerebral cortex of PAE at postnatal day 30. The increase of palmitic acid is consistent with increase of the producing enzyme, Fasn (fatty acid synthase). Decrease of 26:6 FA is also consistent with the increase of the enzyme which uses 26:6 as a substrate for making very long chain FAs, Elovl4 (elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 4). However, there is no increase in the elongated products. Rather, lipid droplets (LDs) accumulated in the brain. Although FA-associated metabolic measurements are not affected by PAE, the abundance of FA-related gut microbiota is altered. This suggests that the gut microbiome could serve as a tool to facilitate uncovering the brain pathophysiology of FASD and a potential target to mitigate neurobehavioral problems.

    Abstract This research describes the preparation of mixtures of new halogen-substituted phenol derivatives and their effects due to linkages with a fatty amide (pentanamide). The molecules were optimized using DFT, and the vibrational and electronic analysis was done subsequently. The energies of frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) were used to estimate the global chemical reactivity parameters as we suggest that hydrogen-bonded networks may have contributed to the stability and reactivity of the compound. In addition to the experimental investigation, dielectric parameters were calculated. Fukui functions were analyzed to study the chemical reactivity. To get insight into interactions of σ → π* orbitals, natural bond orbital calculations were done. Additionally, surface analysis of the MEP and Hirshfeld charges were performed at the equivalent DFT levels. The research also indicated that both (interaction region indicator) IRI and (electron delocalize range) EDR would proficiently identify chemical-bonding and weak interaction regions, providing a significant advantage in exploring diverse chemical systems and reactions. This indicated that compounds could diffuse through noncovalent interactions, including intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Dielectric relaxation studies taken at five distinct molar ratios identified significant dielectric properties such as ε', ε″, ε

    Abstract We measure the mean inner potential (MIP) of hematite, α-Fe2O3, using electron holography and transmission electron microscopy. Since the MIP is sensitive to valence electrons, we propose its use as a chemical bonding parameter for solids. Hematite can test the sensitivity of the MIP as a bonding parameter because of the Morin magnetic phase transition. Across this transition temperature, no change in the corundum crystal structure can be distinguished, while a change in hybridized Fe-3d and O-2p states was reported, affecting ionic bonding. For a given crystallographic phase, the change in the MIP with temperature is expected to be minor due to thermal expansion. Indeed, we measure the temperature dependence in corundum α-Al2O3(112¯0) between 95 and 295 K showing a constant MIP value of ∼16.8 V within the measurement accuracy of 0.45 V. Thus, our objectives are as follows: measure the MIP of hematite as a function of temperature and examine the sensitivity of the MIP as a bonding parameter for crystals. Measured MIPs of α-Fe2O3(112¯0) above the Morin transition are equal, 17.85 ± 0.50 V, 17.93 ± 0.50 V, at 295 K, 230 K, respectively. Below the Morin transition, at 95 K, a significant reduction of ∼1.3 V is measured to 16.56 ± 0.46 V. We show that this reduction follows charge redistribution resulting in increased ionic bonding.

    Abstract The introduction of direct electron detectors (DEDs) to transmission electron microscopy has set off the 'resolution revolution', especially for cryoTEM low-dose imaging of soft matter. In comparison to traditional indirect electron detectors such as Charged-Coupled Devices (CCD), DEDs show an improved modulation transfer function (MTF) and detective quantum efficiency (DQE) across all spatial frequencies, as well as faster frame rates which enable single electron counting. The benefits of such characteristics for imaging, spectroscopy and electron holography have been demonstrated previously. However, studies are lacking on the application of DEDs for localized characterization of short- to medium- range-order (SRO, MRO) in amorphous materials using electron scattering. Therefore, we evaluate the performance of a Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor DED for the characterization of SRO and MRO in nanoscale volumes of amorphous materials, using SiO

    Abstract Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a range of pathologies arising from fat accumulation in the liver in the absence of excess alcohol use or other causes of liver disease. Its complications include cirrhosis and liver failure, hepatocellular carcinoma, and eventual death. NAFLD is the most common cause of liver disease globally and is estimated to affect nearly one-third of individuals in the United States. Despite knowledge that the incidence and prevalence of NAFLD are increasing, the pathophysiology of the disease and its progression to cirrhosis remain insufficiently understood. The molecular pathogenesis of NAFLD involves insulin resistance, inflammation, oxidative stress, and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Better insight into these molecular pathways would allow for therapies that target specific stages of NAFLD. Preclinical animal models have aided in defining these mechanisms and have served as platforms for screening and testing of potential therapeutic approaches. In this review, we will discuss the cellular and molecular mechanisms thought to contribute to NAFLD, with a focus on the role of animal models in elucidating these mechanisms and in developing therapies.

    Abstract A 36-year-old woman presented with dyspnoea on exertion for 5 years. She was evaluated elsewhere and diagnosed to have severe mitral stenosis. She was referred for mitral valve replacement to our centre. Echocardiography revealed a thickened aortic valve with mild aortic regurgitation, with transaortic gradient suggestive of mild aortic stenosis, in addition to severe rheumatic mitral stenosis. Detailed echocardiographic analysis and cardiac catheterisation revealed features suggestive of moderate to severe aortic stenosis. Detailed assessment of aortic valve needs to be done in patients with coexistent mitral stenosis. Each modality for assessment of aortic stenosis has its own limitations and a decision regarding treatment needs to be taken based on combined analysis of all the parameters. Dimensionless velocity index is a relatively less time-consuming, flow independent measure of aortic stenosis. Prompt recognition of this concealed aortic stenosis helps to avoid repeat valve surgery. Subsequently, patient was sent for dual valve replacement.
