    Abstract Introduction: The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) poses an unprecedented crisis for public health, although several potential therapies have been provisionally applied but a unified consensus is yet to be achieved.
    Case description: A 75-year-old man, COVID-19 reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) positive on admission, presented with acute onset progressively ascending weakness of all four limbs. Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) study suggested acute demyelinating and axonal type of motor polyradiculoneuropathy. Hence, Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) related to COVID-19 infection was considered. His respiratory status worsened to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) on the second week of illness. He was started on intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) dosed over 5 days. His ventilator support started to improve after the 10th day of admission. His inflammatory markers started to improve, ventilator supports were weaned down and he was extubated on the 17th day of illness. Intravenous immunoglobulin is rich in viral immunoglobulin G (IgG), competitively binds Fcy receptor, preventing SARS-CoV-2 spike protein from attaching to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE 2) receptor, inhibiting viral entry into the cell.
    Clinical significance: Intravenous immunoglobulin can inhibit the production of inflammatory factors and decrease inflammatory injury, multisystem inflammation (MSI) in SARS-CoV-2.
    Conclusion: While the use of hyperimmune globulin requires a tedious job of collection from convalescent patients with verified and adequate titers, the use of IVIg could be an easier option to modulate the immune storm and faster recovery in SARS-CoV-2.

    Abstract The rocks of the Aravalli Protocontinent of NW India are enriched in lead–zinc bearing deposits amongst which the Zawar mineralized belt is one of the famous for base metal deposits and was mined since ancient times. In the present study, an attempt has been made to identify and map the extension of the mineralized belt and base metal prognostic zones using the integration of multi-sensor remote sensing, geological and geochemical data. Remote Sensing studies were carried out using ASTER, AVIRIS-NG, and ASAR datasets to understand the extension and associated structural features of host rocks (dolomite in the present case) of lead–zinc mineralization from the Middle Aravalli Group. Relative band depth (B6 + B9/B8) was used to delineate the dolomite of the region using the ASTER imagery. Mineral map was derived using the AVIRIS-NG dataset with the help of the MTMF algorithm. Multifrequency and multipolarization ASAR datasets demarcated the structural features in the complexly deformed rocks of the extended belt. The obtained results from remote sensing were validated with the help of geological and geochemical studies. Geological studies (field surveys and petrographic studies) confirmed the presence of dolomites and associative mafics. Mineralogical, major oxides and trace elements data further substantiated the presence of dolomite, associated sulfides such as galena, sphalerite, pyrite, and chalcopyrite, and lead, zinc and copper in the Zawar–Dungarpur Belt. Presence of chromium and nickel were observed through the trace element studies of dolomite belt. The trace elements interpolated maps were superimposed by traced structural maps using ASAR datasets. The densely populated E-W lineaments are considered the suitable zones for base metal accumulation. These lineaments carried the base metal bearing fluid along with a low concentration of Chromium and Nickel. Under the finding of this study, the northern head of Hati Magra and near Keekawat are the suitable zones for Pb–Zn sulfide mineralization.

    Abstract Hyperspectral remote sensing/imaging spectroscopy has enabled precise identification and mapping of hydrothermal alteration mineral assemblages based on diagnostic absorption features of minerals. In the present study, we use Airborne Visible InfraRed Imaging Spectrometer-Next Generation (AVIRIS-NG) datasets acquired over Rishabdev ultramafic suite to derive surficial mineral map using least square based spectral shape matching in wavelength range of diagnostic absorption features of minerals. Resulting mineral map revealed presence of hydrothermally altered serpentine group of minerals and associated alteration products (talc and dolomite) along with clays and phyllosilicates. Mineral maps are validated using field spectral measurements and published geological map. Involvement of low temperature (<350 °C) hydrothermal fluid in serpentinization of ultramafic rocks in the region is inferred from analysis of deepest absorption features of muscovites at 2.20 μm, spectral abundance of lizardite and absence of prenhite-pumpyllite facies mineral assemblages. Talc was found to be the most common alteration product of serpentines followed by dolomites. Intense alteration of serpentines to talc along the fracture zone is attributed to the circulation of carbon dioxide rich hydrothermal fluids along these conduits. Kaolinite and halloysite are primarily associated with granites and are the result of hydrothermal alteration of plagioclase feldspar in granites while muscovite and illites are generally associated with phyllites and quartzites . The study demonstrates the potential of imaging spectroscopy for mapping hydrothermal alteration mineral assemblages in ultramafic complex.

    Abstract Introduction: Levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) is a debilitating motor feature in a subset of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) after prolonged therapeutic administration of levodopa. Preliminary animal and human studies are suggestive of a key role of dopamine type 3 (D3) receptor polymorphism (Ser9Gly; rs6280) in LID. Its contribution to development of LID among Indian PD patients has remained relatively unexplored and merits further investigation.
    Methods and materials: 200 well-characterised PD patients (100 without LID and 100 with LID) and 100 age-matched healthy controls were recruited from the outpatient department of Institute of Neurosciences Kolkata. MDS-UPDRS (Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale from International Movement Disorder Society) Part III and AIMS (abnormal involuntary movement scale) were performed for estimation of severity of motor features and LID respectively in the ON state of the disease. Participants were analysed for the presence of Ser9Gly single nucleotide variant (SNV) (rs6280) by polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism techniques.
    Results: The frequency of AA genotype (serine type) was more frequently present in PD patients with LID compared to PD patients without LID (50 % vs 28 %; P = 0.002; OR = 2.57, 95 % CI: 1.43 - 4.62). The abnormal involuntary movement scale score was significantly higher in PD patients with AA genotype compared to carriers of glycine allele (AG + GG) (4.08 ± 3.35; P = 0.002).
    Conclusion: We observed a significant association of serine type SNV (rs6280) in D3 receptor gene in a cohort of PD patients with LID from India. More severe motor severity was found in patients with glycine substitution of the same SNV. The current study emphasised the role of D3 receptor in the pathogenesis of LID.

    Abstract Gait differentiation in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and vascular parkinsonism (VaP) is sometimes difficult to detect with the naked eye. Here, we compared specific gait parameters, neuro-morphometric indices, and their associations between patients with PSP Richardson's syndrome (PSP-RS) and VaP. A total of 18 PSP-RS and 13 VaP patients were recruited. Spatio-temporal gait parameters (GAITRite®) and neuroanatomical morphometry (FreeSurfer pipeline) were assessed. The groups were compared using unpaired t-tests involving 10000 random permutations after statistically controlling for total UPDRS-III and H&Y scores. Statistically significant differences between the groups were decided at < 5% Benjamini-Hochberg False Discovery Rate (FDR) for multiple-comparison related corrections. Spearman's correlations were performed to assess the significant associations (p < 0.05) between the gait parameters and morphometry indices. Among all the spatio-temporal gait parameters, PSP-RS patients displayed greater stride time, step time, swing time, and stance time variabilities compared to VaP. Morphometric analyses showed that thalamus, and caudate volumes were significantly lower, but cerebellar cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, accumbens, and putamen volumes were higher in PSP-RS than VaP. Moreover, the bilateral insula was significantly thinner in VaP than in PSP-RS. Correlation analyses support the involvement of limbic structures besides cerebellum in postural control during self-paced walking of PSP-RS patients. Our findings underline the importance of examining individual brain regions to understand the association of cortical and subcortical morphometric estimates and gait variability parameters in PSP-RS and VaP. This study suggests the involvement of the limbic system in addition to the classical neural structures for motor control and gait.
