    Abstract Introduction: In patients undergoing either robotic neck dissection or no neck dissection, the neck recipient vessels for the free flaps remain unexposed. Intraoral vessels have been successfully used as microvascular recipients but their use in intraoral malignancies is uncommon. We describe our initial experience of using intraoral recipients in 30 patients with oral cavity malignancies.
    Methods: For this retrospective observational study, the hospital records of all patients who underwent microvascular reconstruction using intraoral recipient vessels over a 14-month period at a tertiary care hospital in India were studied. Patient demographics, disease profile, details of oncosurgical resection, reconstructive procedure details, and postoperative recovery data were analyzed.
    Results: Intraoral anastomosis was successfully performed in 30 patients. The average patient was middle-aged (mean age 54 years) and male (26/30). Location of the postexcision defect was the buccal mucosa in 16/30 and the tongue in 12/30 patients. Anterolateral thigh flap (ALT) was used in 28/30 patients. Recipient vessels were facial vessels in 24/30 patients and lingual vessels in 6/30 patients. Venous anastomotic coupler was used in 27/30 patients. Three patients underwent re-exploration for flap congestion with loss of flap in 2/30 patients.
    Conclusion: The intraoral approach offers consistent vascular anatomy and can be performed without any external incision and oro-cervical tunneling. Being technically challenging, it has an initial learning phase. Adequate mouth opening and preservation of recipient vessels during excision and neck dissection are important prerequisites. This approach can offer a scarless reconstruction, which can improve the psycho-social rehabilitation of the patients.

    Abstract Assessment of genetic diversity between selected genotypes serves as an essential tool to exploit the genetic variability. In the present study, Ninety nine accessions of oat acquired from different geographical regions were used to study the molecular genetic variability by the use of 91 microsatellite primers. A total of 248 alleles from 91 primer pairs in the 99 oat genotypes were detected. The average alleles per primer pair were recorded as 2.69. The primer pairs having the highest PIC values viz., AM 6 (0.50), AM 55 (0.49) and M 83381 (0.49) can be further used in the association mapping studies. Clustering of the oat genotypes into two main clusters A and B was done by using the symmetric matrix of DICE coefficient based on UPGMA method in Software - DARwin 6.0. In this study, the moderate amount of dissimilarity was observed between the whole set of accessions, the values ranging from 0.33 to 0.79. The individuals belonging to the different clusters may be useful in hybridization studies of oat improvement programmes.

    Abstract Bladder injuries are usually reported after blunt trauma to lower abdomen. The pelvic fracture is associated in >80% of the cases. All intraperitoneal bladder tear are managed surgically with open exploration and repair. In stable patients, with no other intra-abdominal injury, laparoscopy acts both as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool. It results in faster recovery, early discharge from the hospital with good cosmetic outcome. We describe a similar case of intraperitoneal bladder rupture managed laparoscopically replicating the open technique of double-layer repair.

    Abstract Since the Bronze Age, oat (Avena sativa L.) has been used mainly as an animal feed. Currently, it is in high demand for human consumption because of its nutritional properties, which improve health and wellbeing. Oat is a good source of protein, carbohydrates, lipid, minerals, vitamins and phenolic compounds. However, quality traits are usually polygenic and subjected to non-heritable factors, making quality improvement difficult. Several conventional breeding approaches such as pure line selection, pedigree selection, mutagenesis, wide crosses and polyploidy have been extensively used to develop new and improved oat varieties, commonly for forage purposes. Molecular approaches such as use of molecular markers, QTL mapping, genome-wide association studies, genetic engineering, genomic selection and speed breeding are being utilised to identify traits/genes of interest, produce plants carrying the desired agronomic and climatic resilience traits, and accelerate genetic gain. There has been minimal focus on nutrient enrichment and the development of high-quality, enriched oat genetic resources. Herein, we address and compile much-needed, up-to-date information on comparative analysis of oat nutritional and phytochemical properties with those of other cereals. We also consider the importance and involvement of conventional breeding in the modern approaches. This updated information provides guidance for oat breeders to develop nutrient-enriched varieties and points to future prospects towards oat quality improvement.

    Abstract Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm known to occur at various soft tissue and visceral locations. Kidney is one of the rare locations for these tumors with around 64 cases being available in the literature. Most of the renal SFTs are tan-white, solid, firm, unencapsulated, and lobulated masses. A predominantly cystic renal SFT has never been reported in the literature. Herein we describe a case of multicystic renal SFT in a 44-year-old male with the characteristic CD34 + /STAT6 + immunophenotype. A careful gross and microscopic examination is warranted while dealing with cystic spindle cell neoplasms of the kidney and SFT should always be considered in the differential diagnosis. STAT6 immunohistochemistry is quite specific for the diagnosis. Moreso, a detailed immunopanel is necessary to exclude other spindle cell neoplasms of the kidney because of significant therapeutic and prognostic implications.

    Abstract The study aimed to analyze the adverse events associated with botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injections in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The literature search was completed using the Medline, PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases from the earliest date possible up to December 2021. Search terms included 'botulinum toxin', 'cerebral palsy', 'spasticity', 'adverse effects', 'side effects', 'undesirable effects', 'complications', 'lower limb', 'upper limb', and 'children' including combinations of index and free-text terms. Fifty-five studies were included in the study. Data on 6333 pediatric patients and more than 14 080 BoNT-A injections were collected. Respiratory symptoms and respiratory tract infections were the most frequently registered adverse events (AEs). Other common AEs included procedural/focal AEs, flu-like symptoms, and asthenia. Sentinel events including four cases of death were reported. AEs were more frequent and severe in high-dose patients; however, the capacity of BoNT-A to spread systemically remains unclear. Since severe adverse events are not common, further research is needed to collect more definitive clinical and homogeneous data to support the findings of the present research and clarify the safety profile of BoNT-A, especially regarding the incidence of respiratory issues and complications in GMFCS IV or V patients.

    Abstract This review article aimed to highlight the application and use of artificial intelligence (AI) in optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging in ophthalmology. Artificial intelligence programs seek to simulate intelligent human behavior in computers. With an abundance of patient data, especially with the advent and growing use of imaging modalities such as OCT, AI programs provide us with the unique opportunity to analyze this plethora of information and assist in making clinical decisions in the field of ophthalmology. Groups around the world have developed and evaluated AI programs that gather data from diagnostic modalities, such as OCT, that assist in the diagnosis and management of ophthalmological diseases with a high accuracy. Artificial intelligence programs using OCT have the potential to play a significant role in the diagnosis and management of ophthalmological disease in the near future. Incorporation of AI in medicine, however, is not without its pitfalls. Some limitations of AI in ophthalmology are also discussed in this review. These include the deskilling of physicians due to increase in reliance on automation, inability of AI programs to take a holistic approach to clinical encounters with patients, requirement of pre-existing strong datasets to train AI programs, and the inability of AI programs to incorporate the ambiguity and variability that is intrinsic to the nature of clinical medicine.

    Abstract Introduction: Neck dissection forms an important component in the surgical management of head and neck cancers. By using the conventional techniques of neck dissection, a conspicuous scar is inevitable for the patients. The development of robotic assisted neck dissection provides for a scar-free neck along with good oncological and functional outcomes.
    Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted in our institute from 2020 March to 2022 March, where robotic-assisted neck dissections performed via the modified bilateral axillo-breast insufflation technique.
    Results: Eighty-two patients underwent robotic neck dissections in our institute. Notably, 79 patients were treatment-naïve. The average docking time was 12 min and console time was 160 ± 15 min. The mean lymph node yield was 28.2. The average post-operative stay was 5.6 days. The average follow-up was noted to be 6.4 months. The mean cosmetic satisfaction score in our patients was 4.45. Only one patient presented with nodal recurrence, who was identified as a defaulter for adjuvant treatment. Robotic neck dissection gives similar functional and oncological outcomes as compared with conventional neck dissection. Patients had excellent cosmetic satisfaction following the procedure. The limitations of these techniques include high cost of procedure and longer operating time. This is a level IV evidence study.
    Conclusion: Although good oncological, functional, and cosmetic outcomes have been attained in robotic assisted neck dissection, further randomized controlled studies need to be conducted to justify the added costs, cosmetic advantage, and the time taken.
    Level of evidence: Level IV Laryngoscope, 2024.
