    Abstract This study evaluated the effect of Environmental Enrichment (EE) on neuron morphology in the CA1, CA3 and dentate hilus (DH) regions of the hippocampus by quantitating the total dendritic arborizations. EE is a potential intervention for stress and diabetes. It is capable of mitigating diabetes and stress-induced cognitive and memory deficit. Diabetes and stress were induced in male Wistar rats (4-5 weeks). Diabetic and stressed rats were exposed to EE on Day 2 post STZ injection and subsequently once daily for 30 days. All animals were sacrificed on Day 30. The hippocampus was dissected and processed for Golgi staining to quantitate dendritic arborizations at the CA1, CA2 and DH regions. Diabetes (D) and Diabetes+stress (D+S) groups had significantly fewer apical and basal dendritic branching points (ADBP, BDBP) at CA1 (p<0.01), CA3 (p<0.001) and DH (p<0.001) relative to control group (NC). Diabetes and stressed rats exposed to EE: [D+EE and D+S+EE groups] exhibited significantly denser ADBP and BDBP at all regions relative to D (p<0.001) and (D+S+EE) (p<0.001) groups respectively. EE significantly preserved neuronal arborizations in hippocampus of diabetic and stressed rats, suggesting a potential entity of diabetes and stress management.

    Abstract Purpose: Hyperacusis is an audiological disorder in which patients become persistently sensitive and intolerant to everyday environmental sounds. For those patients that fail conservative options, a minimally invasive surgical procedure has been developed.
    Materials & methods: Retrospective case series of 73 adult patients with hyperacusis who underwent oval and round window reinforcement surgery between 1/2017-6/2023. Small pieces of temporalis fascia were used to reinforce the round and oval windows. Patients were separated into two groups based on their preoperative speech Loudness Discomfort Level (LDL). Patients with a preoperative speech LDL ≤ 70 dB were placed in the "low LDL group" whereas patients with a preoperative speech LDL >70 dB were placed in the "high LDL group." Preoperative and one-week postoperative audiogram and speech LDLs were compared. Quality of life was assessed using the Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) survey.
    Results: 73 patients met inclusion criteria - 21 patients in the low LDL group and 52 in the high LDL group. Patients in the high LDL group significantly improved their LDLs by an average of 3.5 dB (P < 0.0001). 42 patients (80.8 %) in the high LDL group had improvement and would recommend the surgery for hyperacusis. Patients in the low LDL group significantly improved their LDL by an average of 12.9 dB (P = 0.032). Ten patients (47.6 %) from the low LDL group experienced improvement and would recommend hyperacusis surgery.
    Conclusion: Many patients with hyperacusis who undergo oval and round window reinforcement can receive significant improvement in sound tolerance and quality of life. Patients with a pre-op speech LDL > 70 dB have the greatest potential for improvement with surgery (80.8 %), probably because their hyperacusis was less severe.

    Abstract Background: Although there are several successful treatment options available today, the optimal management of posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) still remains undetermined.
    Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of contemporary treatment methods and to define current evidence-based management for PHH in premature infants.
    Material and methods: Literature was reviewed to identify and analyze merits and demerits of the currently available temporizing measures and definitive treatment for premature low-birth weight babies with PHH.
    Results and conclusions: Advances in treatment and increased experience have led to redefinition of treatment goals to optimize cognitive neurodevelopment, and quality of life in these premature infants with PHH. Current literature favors early diagnosis and intervention using temporizing measures, and prevention of future complications of PHH with a permanent CSF diversion method such as ventricular shunting or endoscopic third ventriculostomy.

    Abstract A hard-to-heal wound does not usually progress through the normal wound repair process and remains in an inflammatory state. The aetiology of a hard-to-heal wound may be varied but they are generally recurrent in patients predisposed to certain conditions, including diabetes. Hard-to-heal wounds associated with diabetic foot ulcers are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Microbial infections further delay the healing process, contributing to its chronicity and influence the pathogenicity of infection-causing bacteria. Traditionally, culture-based methods have been employed to study microbial communities within the hard-to-heal wound. This method underestimates or excludes most of the dominant species and is oversensitive towards others. These limitations in the culture-based methods can be overcome by advanced molecular technologies, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS), which has significantly broadened our view of the wound-associated microbiome. Sequencing of genes coding for small subunit ribosomal RNA and internal transcribed spacer locus for identification of bacteria and fungi, respectively, has provided more quantitative data in a faster, more cost-effective manner and has resulted in better microbial characterisation of wounds. In this review, we have examined in detail the NGS-based molecular characterisation of wound-associated microbes and its impact on modalities for effective treatment of hard-to-heal wound ulcers. The aim of the review was to highlight the advantages and disadvantages associated with traditional and advanced molecular technologies, such as NGS, to study the wound-associated microbiome. A full understanding of the complete diversity of the wound microbiome will help in devising effective treatment regimens for hard-to-heal wounds.

    Abstract Aims: The current lifestyle trend has made people vulnerable to diabetes and related diseases. Years of scientific research have not been able to yield a cure to the disease completely. The current study aims to investigate a link between high-fat diet mediated diabesity and circadian rhythm in the Drosophila model and inferences that might help in establishing a cure to the dreaded disease.
    Main methods: Several experimental methods including phenotypical, histological, biochemical, molecular, and behavioral assays were used in the study to detect obesity, diabetes, and changes in the circadian clock in the fly model.
    Key findings: The larva and adults of Drosophila melanogaster exposed to high-fat diet (HFD) displayed excess deposition of fat as lipid droplets and micronuclei formation in the gut, fat body, and crop. Larva and adults of HFD showed behavioral defects. The higher amount of triglyceride, glucose, trehalose in the whole body of larva and adult fly confirmed obesity-induced hyperglycemia. The overexpression of insulin gene (Dilp2) and tribble (trbl) gene expression confirmed insulin resistance in HFD adults. We also observed elevated ROS level, developmental delay, altered metal level, growth defects, locomotory rhythms, sleep fragmentation, and expression of circadian genes (per, tim, and clock) in HFD larva and adults. Thus, HFD impairs the metabolism to produce obesity, insulin resistance, disruption of clock, and circadian clock related co-mordities in D. melanogaster.
    Significance: The circadian gene expression provides an innovative perspective to understand and find a new treatment for type-II diabetes and circadian anomalies.
