    Abstract In the last two decades, the incidence of a cute pancreatitis (AP) in children has increased. Knowing different aspects of this condition like incidence, etiology, and severity is essential for the prevention and management of AP. There is a paucity of well-defined research in India on this topic. Hence, this review was done to evaluate the incidence, etiology, complications, and outcome of a cute pancreatitis. The key findings can aid the pediatrician to be aware of the epidemiology and etiology, which would help in the early diagnosis and treatment to decrease the morbidity and mortality. We have conducted an independent search in PubMed and Google Scholar and analyzed articles by Indian authors on this issue from 1990 onwards. The range of incidence of acute pancreatitis is12-20 cases per year and idiopathic is the most common cause ranging from 21 to 82.25%. Necrotizing pancreatitis (2.5-22.5%) is the most common complication which is high compared to Western countries and the mortality rate is in the range of 1.6% to 3.6%. This highlights the findings of researches in India regarding the epidemiology, etiology, complication, and mortality rate of pediatric acute pancreatitis; the incidence of which has increased considerably over the past few decades.

    Abstract According to the literature, transverse sinus hypoplasia is not a normal variant and has a serious potential effect on cerebral blood flow. We are presenting a rare case of chronic headache due to severe hypoplasia of the left transverse and sigmoidal sinus. A 12-year-old female girl was admitted with a complaint of gradual progressive severe headache, throbbing in nature, confined to a bitemporal and frontal region in the last 4-5 months. Headache is not associated with fever, vomiting, photophobia, or vision problems. The child had no history of recurrent running nose, refractory vision, ear discharge, head trauma, exanthemata rash, or any drug history. On examination, the child was conscious and oriented. Vital signs are normal. The child was neurologically normal and had no focal signs. Other systemic examinations were normal. Based on History and examination, differential diagnosis was made, like Pseudo tumor cerebri, migraine, deep vein sinus thrombosis, and functional and Posterior fossa tumor. The child had normal routine investigations like complete blood count, electrolyte, and D-dimer. The fundoscopy was normal. In MRI, brain hypoplasia of the left transverse and sinusoidal sinus was suspected and confirmed by MRI venography. Thus, for any patient in an emergency with a chronic headache without focal signs and normal fundoscopy, one deferential should be considered for transverse and sigmoid sinus hypoplasia.

    Abstract Objectives: High-altitude natives have a high incidence of parangangliomas (PGL) of the head and neck, especially the carotid body tumor. The aim of this study is to describe the clinical presentation, pattern, altitude of residence, distribution, management, and follow-up of head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGL) in our sub-Himalayan population.
    Study design: Retrospective cohort study.
    Setting: Academic tertiary care hospital.
    Methods: Hospital records of 20 patients of HNPGL diagnosed from December 2017 to December 2021 were retrieved for analysis.
    Results: Twenty patients with 23 HNPGL, with a mean age of 41.74 years were managed in our institute. The female-to-male ratio was 2.3: 1 and the mean follow-up was 29.95 months. Nine had carotid body (CBPGL), 7 had tympanic (TPGL), 2 had jugular (JPGL), and 2 had vagal paragangliomas (VPGL). Multiple PGL were seen in 4 patients (20%). Majority of cases (all CBPGL and 57.14% of TPGL) were residents of the high altitude, and the rest were from the low altitude. Fifteen patients (8 CBPGL, 7 TPGL) were operated. There were no major complications except in a patient with large carotid body tumor required anastomosis of carotid artery. Five patients received stereotactic radiotherapy, and 1 malignant PGL received chemoradiotherapy.
    Conclusion: In this study, JPGL and VPGL are common at low altitudes, whereas carotid body and tympanic PGL were the most common tumor at high altitudes. Being a retrospective and study small sample size, a definite conclusion is not established, however, a genetic analysis and inclusion of a wider population in a future prospective study may establish the hypothesis.

    Abstract Background: Sepsis, the second most common cause of neonatal mortality, causes more than one million deaths annually. India has the highest incidence of clinical sepsis (17000/100000 live birth).
    Objective: This study aimed to determine the risk factors and organisms of early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS) in a tertiary care hospital in Northeast India.
    Materials and methods: It was a case-control study conducted in the neonatal unit of MGM Medical College, Kishanganj, Bihar, from January 2022 to April 2023. All neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) within 72 hours of life constituted the study population. Neonates diagnosed as EONS by clinical and laboratory parameters were considered as cases and those not diagnosed for EONS as controls. Maternal and newborn information and laboratory parameters were collected and analyzed. For risk factor identification, the bivariate logistic regression was used.
    Result: An equal number of cases (78) and control (78) were enrolled in the study. Maternal age >30 years (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 3.017, confidence interval [CI]: 1.238 to 7.352;
    Conclusion: Proper and adequate antenatal screening for diagnosis and treatment of maternal infection and high-risk pregnancies for perinatal management of newborn is recommended to prevent neonatal sepsis-related morbidity and mortality. Rational use of antibiotics may minimize the hazard of antibiotic resistance.

    Abstract Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease, a rare X-linked recessive disease occurring predominantly in males, is a disorder of proteolipid protein expression in myelin formation in the central nervous system. The disease is clinically manifested by neurodevelopmental delay, ataxia, hypotonia, and pendular eye movement. It is best confirmed by genetic study. A 4-year female child presented with ataxia, neuroregression, decreased scholastic performance, slurred speech, loss of bladder and bowel control, and hypotonia. MRI brain showed generalized hypomyelination and atrophy of the cerebrum and cerebellum. This case highlights that Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease can be considered even in a female child who presented with neurodevelopmental delay and neuro regression, ataxia, and decreased scholastic performance and further confirmed by MRI showing diffuse demyelination along with cerebral and cerebellar atrophy.

    Abstract Congenital cholesteatoma is a rare lesion resulting from failed involution of epidermoid rest cells, which take part in the formation of the mucosa of the middle ear cleft during embryonic development. We report the first case report of a large congenital hypotympanic cholesteatoma with extension to the jugular foramen and carotid canal, in a 13-year-old girl, which was excised successfully by endoscopic-assisted hypotympanotomy infra-cochlear approach.

    Abstract Objectives: Despite significant progress in the field of nuclear medicine, basic nuclear medicine awareness and understanding among clinicians remains unsatisfactory, leading to under utilization of nuclear medicine modalities. To evaluate the awareness and knowledge regarding nuclear medicine and appropriate use of Nuclear medicine modalities, among medical students and faculty members.
    Method: In this descriptive cross sectional study, a self timer limited objective questionnaire based on Google forms was distributed to the study population and scores obtained by the participants were analyzed.
    Results: Percent scores range for intern, residency trainees, and senior resident/faculty groups for general awareness were 16-46%, 37-58% and 62-91% and for knowledge and appropriate use were 7-21%, 28-43%, and 35-85% respectively. Overall, 61% of the participants had poor awareness and knowledge regarding nuclear medicine modalities. None of the participants had received nuclear medicine exposure or education during their academics or training. Only 49% of the participants considered utilizing nuclear medicine modalities for their patient management.
    Conclusion: Undergraduate interns and residency trainees had a poor to fair level of awareness and knowledge regarding nuclear medicine. Hence creating more awareness in early stages of their career by incorporating Nuclear medicine basic education in medical undergraduate curriculum is required. The senior residents/faculty members had a moderate to good level of awareness and knowledge but still improvement in their knowledge would lead to a more appropriate and better utilization of nuclear medicine modalities for optimum patient management in a variety of clinical settings.

    Abstract Abstract Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are bio-based polymers produced in bacterial cells to replace some petrochemical plastics. It has always been a challenge to commercialise PHA due in part to the costly recovery processes of the PHA granules from the bacterial cells. The biological approach of using mealworms, Tenebrio molitor, for the recovery of PHA from the bacterial cells is a newly established method that is at the scale-up stage. On the other hand, the aquaculture feed industry needs a low-cost mealworm meal as a protein source. We aimed at studying the nutritional value of the mealworms (which are by-products) used for the poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) (the most common type of PHA) recovery from the bacterial and examining the effect of the mealworms on the growth performance, and feed utilization efficiency of red hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis sp.). The cells were fed to the mealworms to digest the proteinaceous cellular materials and excrete the PHB granules in the form of fecal pellets. The resulting mealworms were used as fishmeal replacement to formulate five isonitrogenous (35% crude protein) and isolipidic (8% lipid) diets at mealworm meal (MwM) inclusion levels of 0% (MwM0/control diet), 25% (MwM25), 50% (MwM50), 75% (MwM75) or 100% (MwM100). The results showed good nutritive value mealworms [high protein (75%), low-lipid (10%)] and up to 75% MwM inclusion diet was good in supplying satisfactory nutrients and energy to the red hybrid tilapia. This approach is beneficial in a way that minimal cost was involved in recovering kilograms of PHB and the proteins, lipids, and minerals from the bacterial cells do not end up as wastes but in turn, are used as nutrition by the larvae.
