    Abstract The degree of localization of the Harper-Hofstadter model is shown to display striking periodic dependence on phase degrees of freedom, which can depend on the nature of the boundary condition, reminiscent of the Aharonov-Bohm effect. In the context of implementation in a finite ring-shaped lattice structure, this phase dependence can be utilized as a fundamentally different principle for precision sensing of rotation and magnetic fields based on localization rather than on interferometry.

    Abstract The liver keeps haematological parameters normal and preserves haemostasis by storing iron, vitamin B-12, and, folic acid, necessary for healthy haematopoiesis. Anaemia of various aetiologies affects approximately 75% of chronic liver disease (CLD) patients, specifically caused by iron deficiency, hypersplenism, chronic diseases, autoimmune haemolysis, folic acid deficiency, aplasticity, and as a side effect of antiviral drugs. This study sought to observe the derangements in haematological parameters in patients with CLD, analyse the spectrum of anaemia in patients with CLD, and predict CLD outcomes utilizing Child-Pugh Score. This cross-sectional observational research was carried out in the Department of General Medicine, Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences (HIMS), Dehradun, India over the course of a year. The patients with CLD who were admitted to the ward participated in the study. Most patient's blood pictures reported normocytic normochromic with thrombocytopenia (TCP) (28.7%), macrocytic hypochromic with TCP (26%), microcytic hypochromic with TCP (13.3%) and macrocytic normochromic with TCP (9.3%). The incidence of anaemia was 85.3%: mild in 12.7% patients, moderate in 55.3% patients, and severe in 17.3% patients. Interestingly, this study also builds upon others suggesting that 85.9% of CLD patients have Class C Child-Pugh Score.

    Abstract A successful Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is often the only hope of survival for children suffering from a range of potentially life-threatening hematological malignancies. The financial, ethical, and emotional problems faced by the matched sibling donor and their recipient siblings during the HSCT are extremely complex and challenging. Herein, the authors have attempted to pen down these in the configuration of a poem.

    Abstract Background: Helicobacter pylori antibiotic resistance has undergone vast changes in the last two decades. No systematic review has been done on the prevalence of antibiotic resistant H. pylori in India in the last two decades. We evaluated the pattern of resistance rates across various regions of India.
    Materials and methods: A systematic review of the geographical variations in antibiotic resistance pattern of H. pylori was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Science Direct, etc. for articles published between January 1, 2000 and May 30, 2023. Random effects-model-based Cochran's Q test, I
    Results: The overall resistance was highest against metronidazole (77.65%) followed by amoxicillin (37.78%), levofloxacin (32.8%), clarithromycin (35.64%), furazolidone (12.03%), and tetracycline (11.63%). 14.7% of the H. pylori isolates were multi-drug resistant. Under meta-analysis of each antibiotic, high heterogeneity levels were observed having I
    Conclusions: Metronidazole resistance is high in most regions of India except Assam and Mumbai while clarithromycin is found to be ineffective in South India, Gujarat, and Kashmir. As compared to other antibiotics, resistance to amoxicillin is generally low except in certain regions (Hyderabad, Chennai, and the Gangetic belt of North India). Tetracycline and Furazolidone have the least resistance rates and should be part of anti- H. pylori regimens. The resurgence of high single and multidrug resistance to the commonly used drugs suggests the need for newer antibiotics and regular resistance surveillance studies.

    Abstract The human gut is composed of diverse microflora which is influenced by dietary intake. Body mass index (BMI) and lifestyle patterns also play a vital role in human health to alter gut microbial composition. Our study aims to determine the impact of alcohol intake, BMI, and diet on gut microbiota and its relationship with gastrointestinal disorders. Thirty-nine gastric biopsies were taken from patients with various gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, and all the patient's lifestyle behavior were recorded in a written proforma. 16S rRNA metagenome analysis for V3-V4 regions was used to examine microbial compositions. The richness and diversity of gut microbiota were analyzed by PERMANOVA using the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity index and principal component analysis. The difference in relative abundance was calculated by ANOVA (p < 0.05). Alpha diversity indexes between vegetarians and non-vegetarians showed no significant difference based on BMI, alcohol status, and GI diseases. We found that in overweight vegetarian individuals Faecalibacterium and Rumicococcus might play a role in the control of Helicobacter pylori. Similarly, the increased abundance of Akkermansia muciniphila in non-vegetarian individuals with normal BMI might play a role to decrease the level of harmful bacteria like H. pylori, and Corynebacterium sp. Also, the relative abundance of Corynebacterium sp. among the vegetarians and Streptococcus sp. in the non-vegetarians was increased in alcoholics while H. pylori was increased in non-alcoholics irrespective of diet. There is an increased abundance of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii in vegetarians among all categories; however, we did not find any correlation between disease outcomes. Our study shows that alcohol intake and dietary habits have independent effects on gut microbial composition. The relative abundance of F. prausnitzii was high among vegetarians in all categories. KEY POINTS: • The presence of H. pylori is less among alcoholics. • Good bacteria help to maintain a normal body mass index. • Gut microbiota richness is high in vegetarians and diversity in non-vegetarians.
