    Abstract Purpose This study aimed to assess the clinico-demographic profile, risk factors, and pattern of coronary involvement in non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) and chronic stable angina (CSA). Methods This was a retrospective study conducted in a tertiary care hospital catering mainly to the rural population in Southern India from January 2020 to July 2022. Data from 333 patients with NSTE-ACS and CSA were analyzed during the study period for the clinico-demographic profile, risk factors, and pattern of coronary involvement in angiography. Results The mean age at presentation was 56.05±9.31. Significant obstructive coronary artery disease was present in 234 (70.3%) patients. Overall, single, double, and triple vessel disease occurred in 26%, 20%, and 32.4% of patients with NSTE-ACS and chronic stable angina. Sixty percent of the diabetic and hypertensive patients (n=92/153) had multivessel involvement. Left main coronary artery disease was present in 40 patients (12%). Conclusion Unstable angina was the most common clinical presentation. Left anterior descending (LAD) was the most common coronary vessel to be involved with occurrence of triple vessel disease in 32% of the study population. Multivessel involvement was more common in the diabetic and hypertensive groups.

    Abstract Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) plays a diverse role in the retina, exerting its effects in both normal and diseased conditions. Deficiency of IGF-1 in humans leads to issues such as microcephaly, mental retardation, deafness, and postnatal growth failure. IGF-1 is produced in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and activates the IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) in photoreceptor cells. When IGF-1R is absent in rod cells, it results in the degeneration of photoreceptors, emphasizing the neuroprotective function of IGF signaling in these cells. Contrastingly, in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), there is an overexpression of both IGF-1 and IGF-1R in RPE. The mechanisms behind this altered regulation of IGF-1 in diseased states are currently unknown. This comprehensive review provides recent insights into the role of IGF-1 in the health and disease of the retina, raising several unanswered questions that still need further investigation.

    Abstract Year 2020 has cultivated new arena in education. Covid-19 has not only reformed the world but also revived the process of operations. One among them is academics. Never in history of education was a lecture delivered without the physical presence of lecturers, in an academic environment. Even in present wildest innovative decade, the idea of eliminating the academia was not an option. However, after the pandemic encounter, it happened. These are not mere changes, but it is a transformation. While this phenomenon is getting acceptable gradually by takers, the mammoth turnaround is happening in Ph.D. final viva voce defenses too. Practice of online defense is approved by leading Universities so as to avoid stagnation of researchers in final stage. Question is, will it be appropriate to accept final defenses in online stream? and has the institutions developed rubrics to assess the researches which are presented online? Finally, if this is the only choice then how best we can use the technology to generalize it as a system? This research was executed through Delphi technique method from academia, research aspirants and policy-makers. Partial least square is used to quantify the data after interpreting qualitative data. Thirteen homogeneous University's respondents were used as sample. Focus of this paper remains to substantiate the benefits of emerging technology and developing a scheme for virtual streaming, rather identifying reasons to avoid them.

    Abstract Background: The inhomogeneous distribution of collagen fiber in cartilage can substantially influence the knee kinematics. This becomes vital for understanding the mechanical response of soft tissues, and cartilage deterioration including osteoarthritis (OA). Though the conventional computational models consider geometrical heterogeneity along with fiber reinforcements in the cartilage model as material heterogeneity, the influence of fiber orientation on knee kinetics and kinematics is not fully explored. This work examines how the collagen fiber orientation in the cartilage affects the healthy (intact knee) and arthritic knee response over multiple gait activities like running and walking.
    Methods: A 3D finite element knee joint model is used to compute the articular cartilage response during the gait cycle. A fiber-reinforced porous hyper elastic (FRPHE) material is used to model the soft tissue. A split-line pattern is used to implement the fiber orientation in femoral and tibial cartilage. Four distinct intact cartilage models and three OA models are simulated to assess the impact of the orientation of collagen fibers in a depth wise direction. The cartilage models with fibers oriented in parallel, perpendicular, and inclined to the articular surface are investigated for multiple knee kinematics and kinetics.
    Findings: The comparison of models with fiber orientation parallel to articulating surface for walking and running gait has the highest elastic stress and fluid pressure compared with inclined and perpendicular fiber-oriented models. Also, the maximum contact pressure is observed to be higher in the case of intact models during the walking cycle than for OA models. In contrast, the maximum contact pressure is higher during running in OA models than in intact models. Additionally, parallel-oriented models produce higher maximum stresses and fluid pressure for walking and running gait than proximal-distal-oriented models. Interestingly, during the walking cycle, the maximum contact pressure with intact models is approximately three times higher than on OA models. In contrast, the OA models exhibit higher contact pressure during the running cycle.
    Interpretation: Overall, the study indicates that collagen orientation is crucial for tissue responsiveness. This investigation provides insights into the development of tailored implants.

    Abstract Prior studies have emphasized a bioenergetic crisis in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) as a critical factor in the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The isoforms Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase C (ALDOC) and pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) have been proposed to play a role in AMD pathogenesis. While PKM2 and ALDOC are crucial for aerobic glycolysis in the neural retina, they are not as essential for the RPE. In this study, we examined the expression and activity of PKM2 and ALDOC in both young and aged RPE cells, as well as in the retina and RPE tissue of mice, including an experimentally induced AMD mouse model. Our findings reveal an upregulation in PKM2 and ALDOC expression, accompanied by increased pyruvate kinase activity, in the aged and AMD mouse RPE. Conversely, there is a decrease in ALDOC expression but an increase in PKM2 expression and pyruvate kinase activity in the aged and AMD retina. Overall, our study indicates that aged and AMD RPE cells tend to favor aerobic glycolysis, while this tendency is diminished in the aged and AMD retina. These results underscore the significance of targeting PKM2 and ALDOC in the RPE as a promising therapeutic approach to address the bioenergetic crisis and prevent vision loss in AMD.

    Abstract The field of phosphoinositide signaling has expanded significantly in recent years. Phosphoinositides (also known as phosphatidylinositol phosphates or PIPs) are universal signaling molecules that directly interact with membrane proteins or with cytosolic proteins containing domains that directly bind phosphoinositides and are recruited to cell membranes. Through the activities of phosphoinositide kinases and phosphoinositide phosphatases, seven distinct phosphoinositide lipid molecules are formed from the parent molecule, phosphatidylinositol. PIP signals regulate a wide range of cellular functions, including cytoskeletal assembly, membrane budding and fusion, ciliogenesis, vesicular transport, and signal transduction. Given the many excellent reviews on phosphoinositide kinases, phosphoinositide phosphatases, and PIPs in general, in this review, we discuss recent studies and advances in PIP lipid signaling in the retina. We specifically focus on PIP lipids from vertebrate (e.g., bovine, rat, mouse, toad, and zebrafish) and invertebrate (e.g., Drosophila, horseshoe crab, and squid) retinas. We also discuss the importance of PIPs revealed from animal models and human diseases, and methods to study PIP levels both in vitro and in vivo. We propose that future studies should investigate the function and mechanism of activation of PIP-modifying enzymes/phosphatases and further unravel PIP regulation and function in the different cell types of the retina.

    Abstract The Warburg effect, which was first described a century ago, asserts that mitotic tumor cells generate higher quantities of lactate. Intriguingly, even in typical physiological circumstances, postmitotic retinal photoreceptor cells also produce elevated levels of lactate. Initially classified as metabolic waste, lactate has since gained recognition as a significant intracellular signaling mediator and extracellular ligand. This current review endeavors to provide a concise overview and discourse on the following topics: the localization of lactate-producing enzymes, the functional significance of these enzymes, the signaling functions of lactate, and its impact on the gene expression of photoreceptors in retinal cells.
