    Abstract Melaena due to hookworm infestation is a rare clinical presentation. It usually presents with symptoms of iron-deficiency anaemia owing to slow blood loss. Here we present a case of 45-year male who presented with a one-year history of intermittent melena requiring multiple blood transfusions. Preliminary endoscopies at different centres were normal. The presence of hookworm in the duodenum was only detected on repeat upper endoscopy as the cause of blood loss, and treatment with albendazole was successful in curing the patient.

    Abstract Muscle hydatidosis is rare accounting only for 3%-5% of cases. Until now, only one case of muscular hydatidosis involving the infraspinatus muscle has been recorded. Hereby, we present a case report of primary hydatidosis of infraspinatus muscle in a 32-year-old woman from Central India who presented with painful soft-tissue swelling. Ultrasonography appearance was consistent with that of hydatid cyst; while serology was negative, pericystectomy was performed, and the diagnosis was confirmed. The patient was followed up for a period of 6 months, and no recurrence was noted. Hydatid cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis of soft-tissue swellings, particularly in endemic regions.

    Abstract An oscillometric waveform (OMW) envelope-based blood pressure (BP) monitoring device is widely used to monitor blood pressure and prevent hypertension and adverse cardiovascular events. At present, all primary care physicians and clinicians widely recommend oscillometric-based BP devices. The consumer selects the device based on their own decision, without knowing whether the device is validated or not, resulting in over- or under-treatment of hypertension. It is imperative that each device must comply with international protocols. In this study, we have investigated the accuracy of inflation and deflation-based oscillometric BP monitoring devices in the case of sinus rhythm (SR). Since different health conditions of the patient affect the oscillometric waveform, which can affect the device's accuracy, in such cases, many BP monitors are skeptical of succeeding in the norms of international protocols. Therefore, this study also aims to calculate the accuracy of these devices in various health conditions and measure the effect of pulse volume, arrhythmia, and respiratory artifact on it using a non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) simulator. We found that the oscillometric BP devices failed to measure the correct blood pressure in several clinical conditions.

    Abstract Background: The current diagnosis of protein energy wasting (PEW) is based on scoring systems that lack precision in measuring muscle deficits. We undertook this cross-sectional study to determine the prevalence of PEW in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) using a scoring system that included dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) for measuring lean body mass (LBM) and to determine the prevalence of selected markers in PEW.
    Methods: Thirty CKD and 20 healthy children (1-18 years) were evaluated for (1) reduced dietary protein intake (DPI); (2) BMI < fifth centile for height age (BMI/HA); (3) serum albumin < 3.8 g/dl, cholesterol < 100 mg/dl, or CRP > 3 mg/L; (4) LBM < fifth centile for height age [LBMr] on DEXA. PEW was scored as minimal-one parameter positive in 2/4 categories; standard-one parameter positive in 3/4 categories; or modified-standard plus height < 2 SD.
    Results: Twenty children with CKD (66.7%) had PEW, (5/9) 55% in CKD 3, and (15/21) 71% in advanced CKD; minimal 12, standard 1, and modified 7. LBMr was seen in 20 (100%), reduced DPI in 16 (80%), and BMI/HA in 6 (30%) children with PEW. LBMr had 100% sensitivity and BMI/HA 100% specificity. LBMr was seen in 8 who had no other criteria for PEW. None of the parameters were positive in controls (p < 0.01).
    Conclusions: PEW prevalence in CKD was high. Both prevalence and severity were higher in advanced CKD. LBMr was a highly sensitive marker to detect PEW. LBMr seen in some children with CKD who were negative for other markers could represent subclinical PEW.

    Abstract Current standard of care localization techniques used in breast conserving surgery (BCS) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) are expensive and may not be available in LMICs (lower-middle income countries). This review evaluated the efficacy of radio-opaque low-cost tumor markers. A systematic search was conducted as per PRISMA guidelines through November 30, 2022, for all studies using non-commercial radio-opaque tumor markers for patients undergoing BCS post NACT. Rate of unsatisfactory margin on final histology was the primary outcome. Oxford Centre for Evidence Based Medicine (OCEBM) levels were used to assess internal validity. After screening, 07 studies were included for data synthesis. For marking, four studies used LIGA clips, two used 5-mm cut pieces of K-wire, and one used cut pieces of 25-G needle. Incidence of unsatisfactory margins (positive/close) ranged from 0 to 11%. All studies found these low-cost markers to be feasible, with 100% pre-surgery visibility and 100% retrieval rate. Low-cost radio-opaque tumor markers (LIGA clips, 5-mm cut pieces of K-wire and 25-G needle) are effective methods of tumor localization especially for LMICs.

    Abstract Graphene as a sensory platform with luminescent tags faces agglomeration and fluorescence quenching challenges. Therefore, composite materials derived from graphene and mesoporous silica are studied to address the issues with their cooperative actions. However, such materials are rare and are never explored for simultaneous sensing and adsorption studies. Therefore, in this work, a modified approach was made to produce better quality graphene oxide, which was subsequently used for preparing reduced graphene oxide/silica composite (rGOmSiO₂) and further functionalized with quinoline-based ligand to create a functional composite (rGOmSiO₂@BIQINOL) for specificity. This material shows very selective TURN-ON fluorescence sensing of zinc-ion among various cations and anions through a coordination-driven excimer formation (rGOmSiO₂@BIQINOL@Zn). Subsequently, the above Zn-adduct shows a TURN-OFF fluorescence emission with ATP (adenosine triphosphate) via coordination-driven excimer breakdown (rGOmSiO₂@BIQINOL@Zn@ATP). A sequential probing of Zn²⁺ and ATP with a very sensitive limit of detection (27 nM & 157 nM, respectively) was demonstrated. The adsorption studies show high adsorption capacities for Zn (595 mg g⁻¹) and ATP (445 mg g⁻¹) with the material's recyclability. Also, the materials were used precisely for real sample quantification of Zinc & ATP. The simultaneous detection and adsorption of Zn and ATP with material recyclability is advantageous compared to literature reports.

    Abstract A novel coronavirus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) first detected in Wuhan, China, has spread rapidly since December 2019, causing more than 1.4 million confirmed infections and 15000 fatalities (as of April 9, 2020). The outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. Isolation, quarantine, social distancing, and community containment measures were rapidly implemented in China, which helped in containing the disease. However, other low- and middle-income countries lack such extensive infrastructural capacities and resources. Cancer patients are particularly at high risk of infection and mortality due to immunosuppression. Hence self-quarantine is recommended for them. Additionally, it is becoming impossible to maintain the continuity of care when cancer patients have to avoid physical visits. Social media applications,

    Abstract Antidepressant medications (AMs) are frequently used in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Many AMs enhance serotonin (5-HT) availability, but this phenomenon may actually worsen IBD. We hypothesized that use of 5-HT-enhancing AMs would be associated with poor clinical outcomes in these disorders. We performed a retrospective cohort study using the Merative Health Marketscan® commercial claims database between 1/1/05 and 12/31/14. Participants (18-63 years) were either controls or had ≥ 2 ICD-9 diagnoses for IBD with ≥ 1 year of continuous insurance enrollment before index diagnosis and 2 years after. We identified new AM prescriptions using the medication possession ratio. Primary outcomes were corticosteroid use (IBD-only), IBD-related complication (IBD-only), IBD-related surgery (IBD-only), hospitalization, and emergency department (ED) visit(s) within 2 years of diagnosis or starting AM. We calculated adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) in IBD AM users (for each outcome). We also performed subgroup analyses considering IBD and AM subtype. In the IBD cohort (n = 29,393, 41.4% female; 42.2%CD), 5.2% used AMs. In IBD, AM use was independently associated with corticosteroid use, ED visits, and hospitalizations, but not IBD-related complications. AM use was associated with a decreased risk of surgery. In the control cohort (n = 29,393, 41.4% female), AM use was also independently associated with ED visits and hospitalizations, and there was an increased likelihood of these two outcomes compared to the IBD cohort. In conclusion, while AM use was independently associated with an increased risk of ED visits and hospitalization in IBD, these risks were statistically more common in a matched control cohort. Additionally, AM use was associated with reduced risk of surgery in IBD, demonstrating a potential protective role in this setting.
