    Abstract Case: A 45-year-old man presented with posttraumatic fracture-dislocation of T11/12 with neurological level T8 AIS A. Sensory level progressed to T4 in the next day morning. He underwent T10, T11, T12, and L1 percutaneous pedicle screw-rod fixation. Postoperatively, there was rapid worsening of his neurology and within 48 hours, he became tetraplegic with neurological level C2 with respiratory paralysis requiring mechanical ventilation. He died on the 14th postoperative day. Clinicoradiological findings were consistent with subacute posttraumatic ascending myelopathy (SPAM).
    Conclusion: Surgeons must be vigilant in days and weeks after spinal cord injury for early recognition and management of SPAM. Treatment guidelines are uncertain and yet to be developed.

    Abstract Transmission of human adenovirus (HAdV) infection and the associated clinical disease can be sporadic or epidemic and manifestations may range from mild infection to severe disease. HAdV has been seen to behave as a proinflammatory virus that can trigger the release of high levels of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in children. Here, we report an unusual case of an infant with HAdV infection who presented with respiratory illness, with a protracted course, complicated with hyperinflammation and multi-system involvement with clinical characteristics mimicking multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and Kawasaki disease. The patient was an 11-month-old male infant with a background of infantile epilepsy, epileptic encephalopathy, hemimegaloencephaly, and global developmental delay, diagnosed as Ohtahara syndrome. He was admitted with a three-day history of cough, cold, fever, and respiratory distress. Management was initiated with a heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula and given ceftriaxone and hypertonic saline nebulization. Additionally, he developed loose motion on the fifth day of admission. The reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of the nasopharyngeal swab was positive for HAdV. Due to persistent fever, elevated inflammatory markers, multisystem involvement (diarrhea, coagulopathy), an absence of a clear microbial etiology, and an epidemiologic link to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, MIS-C was diagnosed. The first dose of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) was administered over the course of 48 hours and the baby required a second dose of IVIG as the fever failed to settle after the first dose. Within 24 hours of the second IVIG dose, defervescence occurred. His platelet count started to rise, and the baby developed thrombocytosis in the third week of illness. Echocardiography was suggestive of dilatation of mild left main coronary artery. He was weaned off oxygen support by day 14 and discharged on day 17. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of HAdV infection with hyperinflammatory syndrome and vasculitis akin to MIS-C and Kawasaki disease.

    Abstract Pot culture experiment was conducted for the management of root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita on tomato using biofertilizers in presence or absence of inorganic balanced fertilizer revealed that all the treatments barring untreated check significantly increased the plant growth parameters and reduced the multiplication of root-knot nematodes. However, application of VAM (Glomus fasciculatum) as biofertilizer @ 100 kg/ha + balanced N-P-K fertilizer @ 125-50-100 kg/ha performed the best by increasing the shoot length (52.41%), root length (58.71%), fresh shoot weight (92.09%), fresh root weight (42.42%), dry shoot weight (93.58%), dry root weight (69.2%) with Corresponding decrease in root galls (32.33%), egg masses (10%), final root knot nematode population in soil (73%) and in root (64.87%) over untreated check. Thus, these G. fasciculatum as biofertilizer could be one of the options for integrated management of M. incognita infesting tomato.

    Abstract Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a vascular tumor of the spine. Management of spinal ABC still remains controversial because of its location, vascular nature and incidence of recurrence. In this manuscript, we hereby describe two cases of ABC spine treated by curettage, vertebral cement augmentation for control of bleeding and internal stabilization with two years followup. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report in the literature describing the role of cement augmentation in spinal ABC in controlling vascular bleeding in curettage of ABC of spine. Case 1: A 22 year old male patient presented with chronic back pain. On radiological investigation, there were multiple, osteolytic septite lesions at L3 vertebral body without neural compression or instability. Percutaneous transpedicular biopsy of L3 from involved pedicle was done. This was followed by cement augmentation through the uninvolved pedicle. Next, transpedicular complete curettage was done through involved pedicle. Case 2: A 15-year-old female presented with nonradiating back pain and progressive myelopathy. On radiological investigation, there was an osteolytic lesion at D9. At surgery, decompression, pedicle screw-rod fixation and posterolateral fusion from D7 to D11 was done. At D9 level, through normal pedicle cement augmentation was added to provide anterior column support and to control the expected bleeding following curettage. Transpedicular complete curettage was done through the involved pedicle with controlled bleeding at the surgical field. Cement augmentation was providing controlled bleeding at surgical field during curettage, internal stabilization and control of pain. On 2 years followup, pain was relieved and there was a stable spinal segment with well filled cement without any sign of recurrence in computed tomography scan. In selected cases of spinal ABC with single vertebral, single pedicle involvement; cement augmentation of vertebra through normal pedicle has an important role in surgery aimed for curettage of vertebra.

    Abstract Experiments were conducted under controlled glasshouse conditions (30±2°C) to determine the relative efficacy of five indigenous isolates of Bacillus spp against M. incognita on tomato. The results of the experiments revealed that all the isolates of Bacillus spp made into talc formulation (2.5–3X10⁸cfu/g) were effective to check root knot nematode and to enhance the plant growth characters of tomato. The nematode inhibitory effects of tested Bacillus spp were found to be positively correlated with the dosage (1-5g/plant) of Bacillus spp evaluated in the present study. The relative biocontrol efficacy of the tested endophytic Bacillus spp are in the order of B. weihenstephanensis (TSB4), B. cereus (CLB2D), B. subtilis (TSB5), B.cereus (TSB4D) and B. licheniformis (TSB3). The most effective talc formulated endophyte of B. weihenstephanensis (TSB4)@ 5g/plant caused highest reduction in nematode population in soil (56.74%) and root (67.76%), number of egg masses (69.13%), eggs/egg mass (55.25%) and gall index (76.25%) and increased fruit yield of tomato by 50.30 per cent over untreated control.

    Abstract Study design: Data of 22 patients with congenital scoliosis who underwent single stage posterior hemivertebrectomies and short segment fixation with a minimum follow-up of 2 years in our centre were studied retrospectively.
    Purpose: To report the efficacy of posterior hemivertebrectomy in single vs multiple level hemivertebra and compare their results.
    Overview of literature: Single stage hemivertebrectomy is a standard procedure for single level hemivertebra. Results of multiple level hemivertebrectomies have not been reported.
    Methods: Twenty-two patients (9 male and 13 female) with the mean age of 11.2 years (range, 2 years 4 months to 24 years 10 months) and a mean follow up of 32 months (range, 4 to 73 months) were studied retrospectively and their results were compared.
    Results: Average number of hemivertebrae removed was 1.46 (range, 1 to 3). Mean preoperative and postoperative coronal cob angle was 48.7° (range, 22° to 80°) and 24.2° (range, 7° to 41°), respectively (p<0.001). Mean preoperative and postoperative sagittal cobb angle was 32.1° (range, 7° to 76°) and 13.6° (range, 0° to 23°), respectively (p<0.005). Mean coronal and sagittal cob correction percentage achieved was 50.2% and 51.8% respectively. Mean follow-up was 49 months (range, 30 to 84 months). Mean loss of coronal and sagittal correction at final follow-up was 4% (0% to 13.6%) degrees and 3.5% (0% to 20%), respectively.
    Conclusions: Posterior hemivertebrectomy in congenital scoliosis is a safe treatment option for up to 3-level hemivertebrae. Excision of thoracolumbar hemivertebrae results in better correction than thoracic and lumbar hemivertebrae.

    Abstract This study presents observations of methane (CH4) and light non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) for the first time from a high altitude site Nainital (29.4°N, 79.5°E, 1958 m amsl) in the central Himalayas. The whole air samples collected with a frequency of 3 samples per week during April 2009–December 2011 are analyzed using a Gas Chromatograph equipped with Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID). Additionally, samples were collected from two semi-urban sites (Haldwani and Pantnagar) in the adjoining Indo Gangetic plain region. CH4 and NMHCs show a distinct seasonal cycle over this region with more frequent observations of higher levels during winter (DJF) and late autumn (SON) and lower levels during the summer–monsoon (JJA). Different NMHCs exhibit better correlations during autumn/winter as compared to the summer–monsoon season. The annual mean mixing ratios of methane, ethane, ethene, propane, propene, i-butane, n-butane, acetylene, and i-pentane at Nainital are measured to be 1.9 ± 0.1 ppmv, 1.8 ± 1.0, 0.7 ± 0.9, 0.6 ± 0.8, 0.6 ± 0.7, 0.6 ± 0.7, 0.5 ± 0.6, 1.0 ± 0.8, and 0.5 ± 0.6, respectively (all in ppbv). The seasonal cycle of CH4 at Nainital is found to be similar to other global high altitude sites (Jungfraujoch and Mauna Loa) but somewhat different than a high altitude site Mt. Abu in India. NMHCs, other than ethane and propane, are found to be higher over this central Himalayan region than other sites. Additionally, composition of NMHCs is shown to be different over the study region when compared with other sites in the IGP region. A correlation study between ln((n-butane)/(ethane)) and ln((i-butane)/(ethane)) showed that oxidation by the OH radical is the main removal mechanism of these species over the central Himalaya and dilution maintains the ratios of these species. The lowest slope of propane and acetylene with CO during summer and spring are indicating absence of fresh air mass over this region. This study fills a major gap in observational data for light NMHCs in the Himalayas and has implications for better understanding of tropospheric chemistry over this region.
