    Abstract During oogenesis, oocytes arrest at meiotic prophase I to acquire competencies for resuming meiosis, fertilization, and early embryonic development. Following this arrested period, oocytes resume meiosis in response to species-specific hormones, a process known as oocyte maturation, that precedes ovulation and fertilization. Involvement of endocrine and autocrine/paracrine factors and signaling events during maintenance of prophase I arrest, and resumption of meiosis is an area of active research. Studies in vertebrate and invertebrate model organisms have delineated the molecular determinants and signaling pathways that regulate oocyte maturation. Cell cycle regulators, such as cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK1), polo-like kinase (PLK1), Wee1/Myt1 kinase, and the phosphatase CDC25 play conserved roles during meiotic resumption. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), on the other hand, while activated during oocyte maturation in all species, regulates both species-specific, as well as conserved events among different organisms. In this review, we synthesize the general signaling mechanisms and focus on conserved and distinct functions of ERK signaling pathway during oocyte maturation in mammals, non-mammalian vertebrates, and invertebrates such as Drosophila and Caenorhabditis elegans.

    Abstract Sporadic rainfall and limited surface water sources have increased dependency on groundwater in semi-arid region of Punjab. The present paper is comprehensive study carried out in an intensive agricultural region of southwest Punjab to examine the quality and extent of contamination due to trace elements and nitrate in the aquifer system. Total 15 toxic elements are analyzed in groundwater samples (N = 129) covering both the shallow (<60 m) and deeper aquifers (>60 m). Elements such as As, B, Cd, Li, Mn, Pb, Sr, and Se exceed the prescribed limits. Overall, 68 and 13% of samples exceed the NO₃ ⁻ permissible limit (45 ppm) in shallow and deep aquifers, respectively. Contaminants concentration increases toward groundwater flow direction, that is, from northeast to southwest possibly due to arid climatic conditions. Relatively, shallow aquifer is more contaminated than deeper aquifer due to fertilizers input and irrigation return flow. Drinking water quality indices (DWQI) reveal that groundwater is unfit for drinking at most locations. Further, health risk indicate that comparatively, children are at higher risk in terms of non-carcinogenic risk posed by nitrate, and higher carcinogenic risk for As, Cr, and Cd is seen in all age groups. Multivariate analysis reveals the influence of anthropogenic activities on NO₃ ⁻, Mn, Ni, and Zn levels, while geogenic factors control the, As and Mo concentrations. Present findings suggest regular monitoring of wells to lower the public health risk.

    Abstract Occurrence of uranium (U) in the groundwater of south-west Punjab is a matter of great concern due to the rise of contaminant levels at an alarming rate, its spatial and vertical variability and poor understanding of uranium mobility with depth. Present study has been conducted to investigate the vertical extent of contamination and geochemical factors controlling U mobilization in the groundwater of semi-arid Punjab. Out of total 140 samples collected and analyzed, 76% samples have uranium levels greater than the chemical toxicity limit of World Health Organization (WHO, 30 μg.L⁻¹) and 34% samples have concentration higher than the radiological toxicity limit given by Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB, 60 μg.L⁻¹). Water at shallow depth (<60 m) is found to be more contaminated than water at deeper depth (>60 m) and concentration lies in the range of 4.26–318.03 μg.L⁻¹. Spatial distribution graphs are used to identify the hotspots of contamination and concentration is higher in the flow direction of groundwater towards south-west. In both the aquifers, groundwater is alkaline and oxic in character with carbonate weathering as dominant hydrogeochemical process affecting chemical composition of water. Higher uranium concentration is seen in the oxidizing, alkaline and carbonate-rich water. Alkali earth metals (Na⁺ & K⁺) are also strongly correlated with the uranium in groundwater at both the levels. Use of environmental stable isotopes (δ¹⁸O & δ²H) shows the evaporation signature in both the aquifers. Health risk assessment is carried out and values higher than permissible limit give indication towards the health risk to the population exposed due to the consumption of uranium contaminated water from long time. This study provides a strong base for better understanding the source of uranium in the aquifer system of region and the results would be useful for further studies in quaternary alluvial aquifers of semi-arid regions.

    Abstract The present study investigates the performance of upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor for stable H2 production from starchy wastewater supplemented with groundnut de-oiled cake using mixed consortia. Insufficient reports are available on H2 production for UASB reactor. Operation of the UASB reactor was divided into two stages i.e., start-up period where desirable sludge height was developed and production period where different hydraulic retention time (HRT) was examined for H2 production. The maximum H2 production rate of 12.3 L L⁻¹ d⁻¹was observed at 3 h HRT. Details physicochemical characteristics of the granular sludge were studied using SEM-EDX image, FTIR spectra, particle size analyser, SVI value, EPS and metal content. Kinetic analysis of the process revealed that Grau, and modified Stover–Kincannon were the most suitable for H2 producing UASB reactor. This is the first report to implement these advanced bio-kinetic models of substrate consumption on hydrogen production in UASB reactor. Furthermore, a potential toward circular bioeconomy model has been discussed for the accomplishment of maximum resource recovery with a minimum waste generation.

    Abstract To evaluate the clinical perspective of Veno lymphatic malformation and definitive management in respect to outcome. (1) To discuss clinical presentation, symptomatology of Veno lymphatic malformation. (2) Demonstration of radiological features, diagnosis and management of Veno lymphatic malformation with its complication. This prospective study was conducted on four patients attending ENT-OPD of R.G.Kar Medical College, Kolkata, India who had presented with suspected vascular malformation. The study was conducted from March 2021 to March 2023 for a period of 2 years. The patients were subjected to detailed history and examination. The diagnosis of the Veno lymphatic malformation was based on the results of Doppler ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. In our study there was male predominance. Most of the patients belonged to the 2nd and 3rd decade of life. The main sites of involvement were lateral neck followed by parotid region. The lesion size ranged in between 3.5 × 3.5 cm and 7 × 5 cm. The patient with parotid lesion was found to have phlebolith. Since most of the lesions were small with well-defined margins, we were able to excise the lesions completely without leaving any residue. Out of four cases one patient developed temporary paresis of spinal accessory nerve which resolved eventually. Veno lymphatic malformations are rare and there is no definitive protocol for management and to be individualized. Our study will be helpful for furthering the existing knowledge regarding the management of Veno lymphatic lesion emphasizing the need of multimodality approach in surgical decision making.

    Abstract IoT in healthcare brought a technological revolution in rehabilitation, enabling the patients to get rehabilitation in the comfort of their home, while being supervised remotely by the professionals. IoT enabled rehabilitation ensures a best possible way towards recovery, without inflicting further injuries. It also allows customization of rehabilitation plan based on the patient profile and progress, while helping in defining their personalised milestones. The main contribution of this paper is a novel wheelchair based IoT enabled 'XoRehab", exoskeleton for rehabilitation; a device for lower limb, with a backrest mechanism. This involves development of a well-trained robot based on electromechanical actuation with micro-controller and feedback system, which can replace the physical trainer or physiotherapist. This autonomous device will control speed of flexion and extension on patient's limbs to improve efficiency of the treatment. It also provides repetitive motion of flexion and extension. The edge system design to upload local rehabilitation data and logs to the cloud server is presented. We propose an opensource Elasticsearch Logstash Kibana (ELK) stack for providing the cloud services, which is a scalable solution. The design of the developed prototype has been discussed in detail along with the functional test results.Clinical Relevance- The introduction of well-trained exoskeleton in the rehabilitation process, gives a high level of performance in patient recovery, and it contributes to expeditious restoration of their joints and improvement in muscle and nerve system.
