    Abstract Wearable-based motion sensing solutions are capable of automatically detecting and tracking individual smoking puffs and/or episodes to aid the users in their journey of smoking cessation. But they are either obtrusive to use, perform with a low accuracy, or have questionable ability of running fully on a low-power device like a smartwatch, all affecting their widespread adoption. We propose 'CigTrak', a novel pipeline for an accurate smoking puff and episode detection using 6-DoF motion sensor on a smartwatch. A multi-stage method for puff detection is devised, comprising a novel kinematic analysis of puffing motion enabling temporal localization of puff. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-backed model uses this candidate puff as an input instance by re-sampling it to required input size for the final decision. Clusters of detected puffs are further used to detect episodes. Data from 13 subjects was used for evaluating puff detection, and 9 subjects for evaluating episode detection. CigTrak achieved a high subject-independent performance for puff detection (F1-score 0.94) and free-living episode detection (F1-score 0.89), surpassing state of the art performance. CigTrak was also implemented fully online on two different smartwatches for testing a real-time puff detection.Clinical Relevance- Cigarette smoking affects physical & mental well-being of a person, and is the leading cause of preventable diseases, adversely affecting cardiac and respiratory systems. With many adults wanting to quit smoking [1], a reliable way of auto-journaling of smoking activities can greatly aid in cessation efforts through self-help, and reduce burden on healthcare industry. CigTrak, with its high accuracy in detecting smoking puffs and episodes, and capability of running fully on a smartwatch, can be readily used for this purpose.

    Abstract Much of the focus of neuronal cell biology has been devoted to growth cone guidance, synaptogenesis, synaptic activity, plasticity, etc. The axonal shaft too has received much attention, mainly for its astounding ability to transmit action potentials and the transport of material over long distances. For these functions, the axonal cytoskeleton and membrane have been often assumed to play static structural roles. Recent experiments have changed this view by revealing an ultrastructure much richer in features than previously perceived and one that seems to be maintained at a dynamic steady state. The role of mechanics in this is only beginning to be broadly appreciated and appears to involve passive and active modes of coupling different biopolymer filaments, filament turnover dynamics and membrane biophysics. Axons, being unique cellular processes in terms of high aspect ratios and often extreme lengths, also exhibit unique passive mechanical properties that might have evolved to stabilize them under mechanical stress. In this review, we summarize the experiments that have exposed some of these features. It is our view that axonal mechanics deserves much more attention not only due to its significance in the development and maintenance of the nervous system but also due to the susceptibility of axons to injury and neurodegeneration.

    Abstract Urgent and innovative strategies for removal of persistent organic micropollutants (OMPs) in soil, groundwater, and surface water are the need of the hour. OMPs detected in contaminated soils and effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are categorized as environmentally persistent pharmaceutical pollutants (EPPPs), and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), their admixture could cause serious ecological issues to the non-target species. As complete eradication of OMPs is not possible with the extant conventional WWTPs technology, the inordinate and reckless application of OMPs negatively impacts environmental regenerative and resilience capacity. Therefore, the cardinal focus of this review is the bioremediation of persistent OMPs through efficient application of an agro-waste, i.e. spent mushroom waste (SMW). This innovative, green, long-term strategy embedded in the circular economy, based on state of the art information is comprehensively assessed in this paper. SMW accrues ligninolytic enzymes such as laccase and peroxidase, with efficient mechanism to facilitate biodegradation of recalcitrant organic pollutants. It is vital in this context that future research should address immobilization of such enzymes to overcome quantitative and qualitative issues obstructing their widespread use in biodegradation. Therefore, dual benefit is gained from cultivating critical cash crops like mushrooms to meet the escalating demand for food resources and to aid in biodegradation. Hence, mushroom cultivation has positive environmental, social, and economic implications in developing countries like India.

    Abstract In the past decade, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have entered the treatment landscape of non-small-cell lung cancer, signalling a paradigm shift within the field characterized by significant survival benefits for patients with advanced and metastatic disease, and especially those with non-targetable genetic oncogenic driver mutations. However, the shift towards immune-based treatments has created new challenges in oncology. Atypical immunotherapy response patterns, including pseudo-progression and hyperprogressive disease, as well as immune-related adverse events have generated the need for new methods to predict patient response to treatment. Hence, new versions of the traditional Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST) have emerged to help characterise with better accuracy radiological findings concerning patient response classification to immunotherapy. This review discusses response evaluation criteria relevant to unique radiological findings observed in patients treated with immunotherapy for non-small-cell lung cancer.

    Abstract Background: Metaplastic Breast Cancer (MpBC) is an exceedingly rare entity, accounting for less than 1% of all malignant breast tumours. Predominantly triple-negative, they are notorious for their chemoresistance, high rates of recurrence and decreased disease-free survival (DFS). All this contributes significantly to BC mortality and results in poor prognostic implications. Limited evidence has led to a lacuna of specific treatment guidelines for this entity and hence remains an uncharted territory for clinicians.
    Case: We report a case of a 46 year old premenopausal female with left-sided metaplastic triple negative T3N2aM0 BC with mesenchymal differentiation (high grade) whom we treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, primary surgery in the form of extreme oncoplasty and adjuvant radiotherapy by Telecobalt machine. Contrary to the expected aggressive course of the disease and poor prognosis of treatment, the patient is presently in remission without progression for over 2 years of follow up.
    Conclusion: Limited experience in management of this pathological entity warrants the need for more research on it, with a special focus on targeted therapy. Discussing possibilities of a tailored approach, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach may aid in paving the path for the future of MpBC treatment.

    Abstract Total shoulder arthroplasty is the process of replacing the damaged ball and socket joint in the shoulder with a prosthesis made with polyethylene and metal components. The prosthesis helps to restore the normal range of motion and reduce pain, enabling the patient to return to their daily activities. These implants may need to be replaced over the years due to damage or wear and tear. It is a tedious and time-consuming process to identify the type of implant if medical records are not properly maintained. Artificial intelligence systems can speed up the treatment process by classifying the manufacturer and model of the prosthesis. We have proposed an encoder-decoder based classifier along with the supervised contrastive loss function that can identify the implant manufacturer effectively with increased accuracy of 92% from X-ray images overcoming the class imbalance problem.
