Abstract
INTRODUCTION Paediatric laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is performed by both paediatric and adult surgeons. The aim of this review was to compare outcomes at paediatric centres (PCs) and adult centres (ACs). METHODS A literature search was conducted, in accordance with PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, for papers published between January 2000 and December 2020. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata® version 16 (StataCorp, College Station, TX, US). RESULTS A total of 92 studies involving 74,852 paediatric LCs met the inclusion criteria. Over half (59%) of the LCs were performed at ACs. No significant differences were noted in the male-to-female ratio, mean age or mean body mass index between PCs and ACs. The main indications were cholelithiasis (34.1% vs 34.4% respectively, p=0.83) and biliary dyskinesia (17.0% vs 23.5% respectively, p<0.01). There was no significant difference in the median inpatient stay (2.52 vs 2.44 days respectively, p=0.89). Bile duct injury was a major complication (0.80% vs 0.37% respectively, p<0.01). Reoperation rates (2.37% vs 0.74% respectively, p<0.01) and conversion to open surgery (1.97% vs 4.74% respectively, p<0.01) were also significantly different. Meta-analysis showed no significant difference in overall complications (p=0.92). CONCLUSIONS The number of LCs performed, intraoperative cholangiography use and conversion rates were higher at ACs whereas bile duct injury and reoperation rates were higher at PCs. Despite a higher incidence of bile duct injury at PCs, the incidence at both PCs and ACs was <1%. In complex cases, a joint operation by both paediatric and adult surgeons might be a better approach to further improve outcomes. Overall, LC was found to be a safe operation with comparable outcomes at PCs and ACs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multimorbidity, the concurrent presence of two or more chronic conditions is an emerging public health challenge. Till date, most of the research have focused on the presence and interaction of selected co-morbidities in tuberculosis (TB). There exist a critical knowledge gap on the magnitude of multimorbidity among TB patients and its impact on health outcomes. METHODS We undertook a cross-sectional study to assess the prevalence and patterns of multimorbidity among newly diagnosed TB patients in two states of India. A total of 323 patients were interviewed using a structured multimorbidity assessment questionnaire for primary care (MAQ-PC). MAQ-PC is already validated for Indian population and elicits 22 chronic conditions. We defined TB multimorbidity as the co-existence of TB with one or more chronic conditions and identified commonly occurring dyads (TB + single condition) and triads (TB + two conditions). RESULTS More than half (52%) of TB patients reported multimorbidity. Among dyads, depression, diabetes mellitus (DM), acid peptic disease (APD), hypertension, chronic alcoholism, arthritis and chronic back ache (CBA) were the most common co-occurring conditions while 'DM + arthritis', 'depression + APD', 'depression + DM' were the most commonly occurring triads among TB patients. Factors such as increasing age, low levels of education, alcohol abusers, drug-resistant TB and having health insurance were significantly associated with multimorbidity among TB patients. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest high prevalence of multimorbidity among newly diagnosed TB patients in India. The presence of concordant and discordant conditions with TB may increase the health complexity, thus necessitating appropriate care protocols. Given, the current situation, wherein TB and non-communicable diseases (NCD) services are delivered through collaborative framework between programmes, there is a need for addressing multimorbidity at the healthcare delivery level.

Abstract
Four new pentadentate N5-donor ligands, [N-(1-methyl-2-imidazolyl)methyl-N-(2-pyridyl)-methyl-N-(bis-2-pyridylmethyl)-amine] (L1), [N-bis(1-methyl-2-imidazolyl)methyl-N-(bis-2-pyridylmethyl)amine] (L2), (N-(isoquinolin-3-ylmethyl)-1,1-di(pyridin-2-yl)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)methanamine (L3), and N,N-bis(isoquinolin-3-ylmethyl)-1,1-di(pyridin-2-yl)methanamine (L4), have been synthesized based on the N4Py ligand framework, where one or two pyridyl arms of the N4Py parent are replaced by (N-methyl)imidazolyl or N-(isoquinolin-3-ylmethyl) moieties. Using these four pentadentate ligands, the mononuclear complexes [FeII(CH3CN)(L1)]2+ (1a), [FeII(CH3CN)(L2)]2+ (2a), [FeII(CH3CN)(L3)]2+ (3a), and [FeII(CH3CN)(L4)]2+ (4a) have been synthesized and characterized. The half-wave potentials (E1/2) of the complexes become more positive in the order: 2a < 1a < 4a ≤ 3a ≤ [Fe(N4Py)(CH3CN)]2+. The order of redox potentials correlates well with the Fe-Namine distances observed by crystallography, which are 2a > 1a ≥ 4a > 3a ≥ [Fe(N4Py)(CH3CN)]2+. The corresponding ferryl complexes [FeIV(O)(L1)]2+ (1b), [FeIV(O)(L2)]2+ (2b), [FeIV(O)(L3)]2+ (3b), and [FeIV(O)(L4)]2+ (4b) were prepared by the reaction of the ferrous complexes with isopropyl 2-iodoxybenzoate (IBX ester) in acetonitrile. The greenish complexes 3b and 4b were also isolated in the solid state by the reaction of the ferrous complexes in CH3CN with ceric ammonium nitrate in water. Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetic measurements (using superconducting quantum interference device) show that the four complexes 1b, 2b, 3b, and 4b are low-spin (S = 1) FeIV═O complexes. UV/vis spectra of the four FeIV═O complexes in acetonitrile show typical long-wavelength absorptions of around 700 nm, which are expected for FeIV═O complexes with N4Py-type ligands. The wavelengths of these absorptions decrease in the following order: 721 nm (2b) > 706 nm (1b) > 696 nm (4b) > 695 nm (3b) = 695 nm ([FeIV(O) (N4Py)]2+), indicating that the replacement of the pyridyl arms with (N-methyl) imidazolyl moieties makes L1 and L2 exert weaker ligand fields than the parent N4Py ligand, while the ligand field strengths of L3 and L4 are similar to the N4Py parent despite the replacement of the pyridyl arms with N-(isoquinolin-3-ylmethyl) moieties. Consequently, complexes 1b and 2b tend to be less stable than the parent [FeIV(O)(N4Py)]2+ complex: the half-life sequence at room temperature is 1.67 h (2b) < 16 h (1b) < 45 h (4b) < 63 h (3b) ≈ 60 h ([FeIV(O)(N4Py)]2+). Compared to the parent complex, 1b and 2b exhibit enhanced reactivity in both the oxidation of thioanisole in the oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reaction and the oxygenation of C-H bonds of aromatic and aliphatic substrates, presumed to occur via an oxygen rebound process. Furthermore, the second-order rate constants for hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactions affected by the ferryl complexes can be directly related to the C-H bond dissociation energies of a range of substrates that have been studied. Using either IBX ester or H2O2 as an oxidant, all four new FeII complexes display good performance in catalytic reactions involving both HAT and OAT reactions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the management practices and outcomes in children with sinogenic intracranial suppuration. METHOD This was a retrospective cohort study in a single paediatric tertiary unit that included patients younger than 18 years with radiologically confirmed intracranial abscess, including subdural empyema and epidural or intraparenchymal abscess secondary to sinusitis. Main outcomes studied were rate of return to the operating theatre, length of hospital stay, death in less than 90 days and neurological disability at 6 months. RESULTS A cohort of 39 consecutive patients presenting between 2000 and 2020 were eligible for inclusion. Subdural empyema was the most common intracranial complication followed by extradural abscess and intraparenchymal abscess. Mean length of hospital stay was 42 days. Sixteen patients were managed with combined ENT and neurosurgical interventions, 15 patients underwent ENT procedures alone and 4 patients had only neurosurgical drainage. Four patients initially underwent non-operative management. The rates of return to the operating theatre, neurological deficits and 90-day mortality were 19, 9 and 3, respectively, and were comparable across the 4 treatment arms. In the univariate logistic regression, only the size of an intracranial abscess was found be associated with an increased likelihood of return to the operating theatre, whereas combined ENT and neurosurgical intervention did not result in improved outcomes. CONCLUSION Sinogenic intracranial abscesses are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The size of an intracranial abscess has a strong association with a need for a revision surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Tajikistan has a high burden of rifampicin-resistant TB (RR-TB), with 2,700 new cases estimated for 2021 (28/100,000 population). TB is spread among household members through close interaction and children exposed through household contact progress to disease rapidly and frequently.METHODS: We retrospectively analysed programmatic data from household contact tracing in Dushanbe over 50 months. We calculated person-years of follow-up, contact tracing yield, number needed to screen (NNS) and number needed to test (NNT) to find one new case, and time to diagnosis.RESULTS: We screened 6,654 household contacts of 830 RR-TB index cases; 47 new RR-TB cases were detected, 43 in Year 1 and 4 in Years 2 or 3. Ten were aged <5 years; 46/47 had TB symptoms, 34/45 had chest radiographs consistent with TB, 11/35 were Xpert Ultra-positive, 29/32 were tuberculin skin test-positive and 28/47 had positive TB culture and phenotypic drug susceptibility results. The NNS to find one RR-TB case was 141.57 and the NNT was 34.49. The yields for different types of contacts were as follows: 0.7% for screened contacts, 2.9% for tested contacts, 17.0% for symptomatic contacts and 12.1% for symptomatic contacts aged below 5 years.CONCLUSION: RR-TB household contact tracing was feasible and productive in Tajikistan, a low middle-income country with an inefficient healthcare delivery system.

Abstract
Mansonellosis is an undermapped insect-transmitted disease caused by filarial nematodes that are estimated to infect hundreds of millions of people globally. Despite their prevalence, there are many outstanding questions regarding the general biology and health impacts of the responsible parasites. Historical reports suggest that the Colombian Amazon is endemic for mansonellosis and may serve as an ideal location to pursue these questions in the backdrop of other endemic and emerging pathogens. We deployed molecular and classical diagnostic approaches to survey Mansonella prevalence among adults belonging to indigenous communities along the Amazon River and its tributaries near Leticia, Colombia. Deployment of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay on blood samples revealed an infection prevalence of ∼40% for Mansonella ozzardi . This assay identified significantly more infections than blood smear microscopy or LAMP assays performed using plasma, likely reflecting greater sensitivity and the ability to detect low microfilaremias or occult infections. Mansonella infection rates increased with age and were higher among males compared to females. Genomic analysis confirmed the presence of M. ozzardi that clusters closely with strains sequenced in neighboring countries. We successfully cryopreserved and revitalized M. ozzardi microfilariae, advancing the prospects of rearing infective larvae in controlled settings. These data suggest an underestimation of true mansonellosis prevalence, and we expect that these methods will help facilitate the study of mansonellosis in endemic and laboratory settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Bedaquiline (BDQ) is widely used in the treatment of rifampicin-resistant TB (RR-TB). However, resistance to BDQ is now emerging. There are no standardised regimens for BDQ-resistant TB. This study aims to share experience in managing primary BDQ-resistant TB.METHODS: We performed a retrospective study of patients treated for RR-TB in Karakalpakstan, Uzbekistan, from January 2017 to March 2022. We identified patients with resistance to BDQ with no history of BDQ exposure. We describe baseline characteristics, treatment and follow-up of these patients.RESULTS: Twelve of the 1,930 patients (0.6%) had baseline samples resistant to BDQ with no history of BDQ exposure, 75% (9/12) of whom had been previously treated for TB. Ten (83.3%) were resistant to fluoroquinolones; respectively 66% and 50% had culture conversion by Month 3 and Month 6. The interim treatment outcomes were as follows: unfavourable treatment outcomes (3/12, 25%), favourable outcomes (2/12, 17%); the remaining seven (58%) were continuing treatment.CONCLUSIONS: A large proportion of the cases had previously been treated for TB and had TB resistant to quinolone. Both patients who had not experienced culture conversion by Month 3 had an unfavourable treatment outcome. Therefore, we recommend monthly monitoring of culture status for patients on treatment regimens for BDQ resistance.

Abstract
AIMS The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) EURObservational Research Programme (EORP) Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) Registry aims to identify international patterns in NSTEMI management in clinical practice and outcomes against the 2015 ESC Guidelines for the management of acute coronary syndromes in patients presenting without ST-segment-elevation. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutively hospitalised adult NSTEMI patients (n = 3620) were enrolled between 11 March 2019 and 6 March 2021, and individual patient data prospectively collected at 287 centres in 59 participating countries during a two-week enrolment period per centre. The registry collected data relating to baseline characteristics, major outcomes (in-hospital death, acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock, bleeding, stroke/transient ischaemic attack, and 30-day mortality) and guideline-recommended NSTEMI care interventions: electrocardiogram pre- or in-hospital, pre-hospitalization receipt of aspirin, echocardiography, coronary angiography, referral to cardiac rehabilitation, smoking cessation advice, dietary advice, and prescription on discharge of aspirin, P2Y12 inhibition, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi)/angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), beta-blocker, and statin. CONCLUSION The EORP NSTEMI Registry is an international, prospective registry of care and outcomes of patients treated for NSTEMI, which will provide unique insights into the contemporary management of hospitalised NSTEMI patients, compliance with ESC 2015 NSTEMI Guidelines, and identify potential barriers to optimal management of this common clinical presentation associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stratifying risk of postoperative pulmonary complications after major abdominal surgery allows clinicians to modify risk through targeted interventions and enhanced monitoring. In this study, we aimed to identify and validate prognostic models against a new consensus definition of postoperative pulmonary complications. METHODS We did a systematic review and international external validation cohort study. The systematic review was done in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. We searched MEDLINE and Embase on March 1, 2020, for articles published in English that reported on risk prediction models for postoperative pulmonary complications following abdominal surgery. External validation of existing models was done within a prospective international cohort study of adult patients (≥18 years) undergoing major abdominal surgery. Data were collected between Jan 1, 2019, and April 30, 2019, in the UK, Ireland, and Australia. Discriminative ability and prognostic accuracy summary statistics were compared between models for the 30-day postoperative pulmonary complication rate as defined by the Standardised Endpoints in Perioperative Medicine Core Outcome Measures in Perioperative and Anaesthetic Care (StEP-COMPAC). Model performance was compared using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROCC). FINDINGS In total, we identified 2903 records from our literature search; of which, 2514 (86·6%) unique records were screened, 121 (4·8%) of 2514 full texts were assessed for eligibility, and 29 unique prognostic models were identified. Nine (31·0%) of 29 models had score development reported only, 19 (65·5%) had undergone internal validation, and only four (13·8%) had been externally validated. Data to validate six eligible models were collected in the international external validation cohort study. Data from 11 591 patients were available, with an overall postoperative pulmonary complication rate of 7·8% (n=903). None of the six models showed good discrimination (defined as AUROCC ≥0·70) for identifying postoperative pulmonary complications, with the Assess Respiratory Risk in Surgical Patients in Catalonia score showing the best discrimination (AUROCC 0·700 [95% CI 0·683-0·717]). INTERPRETATION In the pre-COVID-19 pandemic data, variability in the risk of pulmonary complications (StEP-COMPAC definition) following major abdominal surgery was poorly described by existing prognostication tools. To improve surgical safety during the COVID-19 pandemic recovery and beyond, novel risk stratification tools are required. FUNDING British Journal of Surgery Society.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: The WHO recommends the use of bedaquiline (BDQ) in longer, as well as shorter, multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) treatment regimens. However, resistance to this new drug is now emerging. We aimed to describe the characteristics of patients in Karakalpakstan, Uzbekistan, who were treated for MDR-TB and acquired BDQ resistance during treatment.METHODS: We performed a retrospective study of routinely collected data for patients treated for MDR-TB in Karakalpakstan between January 2015 and December 2020. We included patients on BDQ-containing regimens with baseline susceptibility to BDQ who developed BDQ resistance at any point after treatment initiation. Patients resistant to BDQ at baseline or with no confirmed susceptibility to BDQ at baseline were excluded.RESULTS: Of the 523 patients who received BDQ-containing regimens during the study period, BDQ resistance was detected in 31 patients (5.9%); 20 patients were excluded-16 with no prior confirmation of BDQ susceptibility and 4 who were resistant at baseline. Eleven patients with acquired BDQ resistance were identified. We discuss demographic variables, resistance profiles, treatment-related variables and risk factors for unfavourable outcomes for these patients.CONCLUSION: Our programmatic data demonstrated the acquisition of BDQ resistance during or subsequent to receiving a BDQ-containing regimen in a patient cohort from Uzbekistan. We highlight the need for individualised treatment regimens with optimised clinical and laboratory follow up to prevent resistance acquisition.

Abstract
Recurrent novae are repeating thermonuclear explosions in the outer layers of white dwarfs, due to the accretion of fresh material from a binary companion. The shock generated when ejected material slams into the companion star's wind can accelerate particles. We report very-high-energy (VHE, [Formula: see text]) gamma rays from the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi, up to a month after its 2021 outburst, observed using the High Energy Stereoscopic System. The VHE emission has a similar temporal profile to lower-energy GeV emission, indicating a common origin, with a two-day delay in peak flux. These observations constrain models of time-dependent particle energization, favoring a hadronic emission scenario over the leptonic alternative. Shocks in dense winds provide favorable environments for efficient acceleration of cosmic-rays to very high energies.

Abstract
A series of iron(II) complexes with the general formula [FeII(L2-Qn)(L)]n+ (n = 1, L = F-, Cl-; n = 2, L = NCMe, H2O) have been isolated and characterized. The X-ray crystallographic data reveals that metal-ligand bond distances vary with varying ligand field strengths of the sixth ligand. While the complexes with fluoride, chloride and water as axial ligand are high spin, the acetonitrile-coordinated complex is in a mixed spin state. The steric bulk of the quinoline moieties forces the axial ligands to deviate from the Fe-Naxial axis. A higher deviation/tilt is noted for the high spin complexes, while the acetonitrile coordinated complex displays least deviation. This deviation from linearity is slightly less in the analogous low-spin iron(II) complex [FeII(L1-Qn)(NCMe)]2+ of the related asymmetric ligand L1-Qn due to the presence of only one sterically demanding quinoline moiety. The two iron(II)-acetonitrile complexes [FeII(L2-Qn)(NCMe)]2+ and [FeII(L1-Qn)(NCMe)]2+ generate the corresponding iron(IV)-oxo species with higher thermal stability of the species supported by the L1-Qn ligand. The crystallographic and spectroscopic data for [FeIV(O)(L1-Qn)](ClO4)2 bear resemblance to other crystallographically characterized S = 1 iron(IV)-oxo complexes. The hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reactivities of both the iron(IV)-oxo complexes were investigated, and a Box-Behnken multivariate optimization of the parameters for catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane by [FeII(L2-Qn)(NCMe)]2+ using hydrogen peroxide as the terminal oxidant is presented. An increase in the average Fe-N bond length in [FeII(L1-Qn)(NCMe)]2+ is also manifested in higher HAT and OAT rates relative to the other reported complexes of ligands based on the N4Py framework. The results reported here confirm that the steric influence of the ligand environment is of critical importance for the reactivity of iron(IV)-oxo complexes, but additional electronic factors must influence the reactivity of iron-oxo complexes of N4Py derivatives.

Abstract
There isn't any vertical integration of pre-clinical and clinical sciences subjects in the existing Kathmandu University MBBS curriculum. Many of the graduates are not able to correlate the clinico-pathological aspects of various diseases as a result the rational use of investigations for diagnosing various diseases is compromised. There are few published examples of implementation of pathology instruction courses during the clinical years of medical training but it is not universally practiced. This lack of exposure to pathology may lead to poor understanding of laboratory testing and the role of pathologists in patient care. To set and implement an exemplary vertical integration of pre-clinical science with clinical science. A 12 credit hours clinical pathology education course comprising clinical hematology, cytopathology and histopathology was developed. Students belonging from the ongoing fourth year MBBS course of Birat Medical College were enrolled in the course. All of the interactive lecture sessions were delivered via an e-learning interface, using the Zoom platform as the main teaching methods. Evaluation of students' achievement of learning objectives was conducted through distributing pre and post-test online multiple-choice questionnaires. Chi-square tests were used to compare the variables between pre-test and post-test questionnaire responses. Results suggested that the designed clinical pathology course is valuable. The pretest and post-test questionnaire responses revealed the positive impact regarding the importance of introducing clinical pathology courses within the clinical year of MBBS undergraduate curriculum. Response rate to the online session was 100%. The point of agreement between the pre-test and post-test questionnaire responses were highly achieved after intervention of the clinical pathology course. A statistically significant result (p < 0.05) between all of the pre-test and post-test questionnaire responses was noted. There was a strong positive recommendation for incorporating clinical laboratory medicine courses within the MBBS clinical science curriculum. The improvement observed among fourth-year MBBS students on learning the importance of clinical pathology courses was encouraging. This experience thus contributed to set and implement an exemplary vertical integration of pre-clinical science with clinical science.

Abstract
CONTEXT The clinical presentation of histoplasmosis is varied. Due to its propensity for adrenal involvement, histoplasmosis is an important differential diagnosis in any patient presenting with adrenal mass, bilateral in particular. OBJECTIVE Data on clinical presentation, pattern of adrenal involvement, radiological appearance and long-term follow-up of adrenal histoplasmosis are relatively sparse; hence we looked at it. DESIGN This record based single-centre retrospective study was conducted in one of the tertiary care hospitals, situated in eastern India catering the Gangetic delta. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Data on demographic characters, presenting manifestations, biochemical & hormonal parameters and radiological appearance of confirmed adrenal histoplasmosis cases (n=9), admitted between 2015-2019 have been retrieved. The treatment outcome and condition of patients after 1-4 years of follow-up has also been discussed. RESULTS Four out of the nine (44.4%) patients had predisposing immunocompromised conditions in the form of diabetes and/or chronic alcoholism while rest were immunocompetent. Seven out of nine patients (77.8 %) had signs and symptoms suggestive of adrenal insufficiency, while two (22.2%) presented with only pyrexia of unknown origin. All of them had bilateral adrenal mass, though the radiologically appearances were different. All patients received anti-fungal agents with/without hydrocortisone and/or fludrocortisone. One patient died (11.1%), while majority responded favourably to treatment. Adrenocortical function did not recover completely. CONCLUSIONS The possibility of adrenal histoplasmosis should always be considered in patients presenting with bilateral adrenal mass, irrespective of adrenal morphology. Treatment is effective, but many of them require supplemental hydrocortisone for quite a long period, if not lifelong. Mineralocorticoid deficiency, however, is not permanent.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim
To assess whether the timing of post-operative Phosphodiesterase Inhibitor (PDE5i) therapy after Robot Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP) is associated with a change in early erectile function, continence, or safety outcomes.
Method
Data was prospectively collected from a single surgeon in one tertiary centre and retrospectively evaluated. 158 patients were treated with PDE5i therapy post RARP over a two-year period.
Results
There were no significant differences in pre-operative characteristics between the therapy groups. Patients that had bilateral nerve sparing had a mean drop in Erectile Function (EF) score by 5.4 compared to 8.8 in the unilateral group. Additionally, 34.9% of bilateral nerve sparing patients returned to baseline compared to 12.1% of unilateral. Drop in EF scores and percentage return to baseline for unilateral nerve sparing was respectively 9 and 11.1% of immediate (day 1-2), 7 and 14.8% of early (day 3-14) and 9.7 and 9.5% of late (day >14) therapy (p = 0.9 and p = 0.6). For bilateral nerve sparing this was respectively 3.5 and 42.9% immediate therapy, 5.5 and 35.5% early therapy and 7.3 and 25% late therapy (p = 0.017 and p = 0.045). Pad free and social continence was achieved in 54% and 37% of those receiving immediate therapy, 60% and 33% for early therapy and 26% and 54% for late therapy. There were no differences in compliance, complication, or readmission outcomes.
Conclusions
Immediate PDE5i therapy should be considered in patients following nerve sparing RARP in order to maximise functional outcomes, especially in those undergoing bilateral nerve spare.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
High costs and inaccessibility are significant barriers to face-to-face basic surgical skills (BSS) training. Virtual classrooms enable the combination of computer-based learning with interactive expert instruction. They may optimise resources and increase accessibility, facilitating larger-scale training with a similar educational benefit. We aim to evaluate the efficacy of virtual BSS classroom training compared to both non-interactive video and face-to-face teaching.
Method
72 medical students will be randomly assigned to three equal intervention groups based on year group and surgical skill confidence. Interventions will be implemented following an instructional video. Group A will practice independently, Group B will receive face-to-face training, and Group C will attend a virtual classroom. Participants will be recorded placing three interrupted sutures with hand tied knots pre- and post-intervention, and Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) will be blind marked by two experts. Change in confidence, time to completion and a granular performance score will also be measured. Each intervention’s feasibility and accessibility will be assessed.
Results
Data collection will be completed in January 2021. Significant improvement in OSATS within groups will be indicative of intervention quality. Difference in improvement between groups will determine the relative performance of the interventions.
Conclusions
To our knowledge, this will be the largest randomised control trial investigating virtual BSS classroom training. It will serve as a comprehensive appraisal of the virtual classroom’s suitability as an alternative to face-to-face training. The findings will assist the development and implementation of further resource-efficient training programs during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the future.

Abstract
The etiopathogenesis of COVID-19 and its differential geographic spread suggest some populations are apparently 'less affected' through many host-related factors that involve angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) protein, which is also the entry receptor for SARS-CoV-2. The role of ACE2 has been well studied in COVID-19 but not in the context of malaria and COVID-19. We have previously suggested how malaria might intersect with COVID-19 through ACE2 mutation and here we evaluate the currently available data that could provide a link between the two diseases. Based on the existing global and Indian data on malaria, COVID-19 and the suggested ACE2 mutation, the association could not be examined robustly, neither accepting nor refuting the suggested hypothesis. We strongly recommend targeted evaluation of this hypothesis through carefully designed robust molecular epidemiological studies.

Abstract
On April 10, 2020, the FDA approved selumetinib (KOSELUGO, AstraZeneca) for the treatment of pediatric patients 2 years of age and older with neurofibromatosis type 1 who have symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas. Approval was based on demonstration of a durable overall response rate per Response Evaluation in Neurofibromatosis and Schwannomatosis criteria and supported by observed clinical improvements in plexiform neurofibroma-related symptoms and functional impairments in 50 pediatric patients with inoperable plexiform neurofibromas in a single-arm, multicenter trial. The overall reponse rate per NCI investigator assessment was 66% (95% confidence interval, 51-79) with at least 12 months of follow-up. The median duration of response was not reached, and 82% of responding patients experienced duration of response ≥12 months. Clinical outcome assessment endpoints provided supportive efficacy data. Risks of selumetinib are consistent with MAPK (MEK) inhibitor class effects, including ocular, cardiac, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, and dermatologic toxicities. Safety was assessed across a pooled database of 74 pediatric patients with plexiform neurofibromas and supported by adult and pediatric selumetinib clinical trial data in cancer indications. The benefit-risk assessment for selumetinib in patients with inoperable plexiform neurofibromas was considered favorable.

Abstract
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), which are bright flashes of gamma rays from extragalactic sources followed by fading afterglow emission, are associated with stellar core collapse events. We report the detection of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma rays from the afterglow of GRB 190829A, between 4 and 56 hours after the trigger, using the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.). The low luminosity and redshift of GRB 190829A reduce both internal and external absorption, allowing determination of its intrinsic energy spectrum. Between energies of 0.18 and 3.3 tera-electron volts, this spectrum is described by a power law with photon index of 2.07 ± 0.09, similar to the x-ray spectrum. The x-ray and VHE gamma-ray light curves also show similar decay profiles. These similar characteristics in the x-ray and gamma-ray bands challenge GRB afterglow emission scenarios.

The significance of urgent ultrasound scan for shoulder dislocation in patients above the age of 40: A prospective British Elbow and Shoulder Society pathway implementation study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The highlight of the British Elbow and Shoulder Society pathway for the management of traumatic anterior shoulder instability is early imaging in patients aged over 40 years to assess rotator cuff integrity and early repair, if indicated to optimise function. The senior author set up a protocol in our institute to streamline the diagnostic process for this cohort of patients. This was a retrospective analysis from a prospectively collected database to highlight the importance of early specialist imaging. METHODS Our protocol is to perform urgent ultrasound scans for all suitable patients above 40 years after first-time traumatic shoulder dislocation. Demographics, associated injuries, ultrasound scan results, operations and functional outcomes were collated. RESULTS One year following the introduction of our protocol, 40 patients with a mean age of 67 (range, 42-89; SD = 13.1) had ultrasound. The incidence of full-thickness rotator cuff tears was 57.5% (n = 23). Eleven patients with confirmed full-thickness rotator cuff tears underwent surgery. The mean age of surgical patients was significantly younger than the non-surgical group (p = 0.004). DISCUSSION The use of early diagnostic imaging demonstrated a high incidence of full-thickness rotator cuff tears in this cohort of patients. This allowed early surgical repair to optimise function.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
To assess whether the timing of post-RARP PDE5i therapy affects early erectile function, continence, or safety outcomes.
Method
Data from 158 patients treated with PDE5is post-RARP was prospectively collected over two years from a single surgeon at one tertiary centre and retrospectively evaluated. Therapy was started: immediately (day 1-2) in 29%, early (day 3-14) in 37% and late (after day 14) post-op in 34%. EPIC-26 Erectile Function (EF) scores were collected pre-op and post-op after a median 43-day follow-up interval.
Results
Drop in EF scores and percentage return to baseline post unilateral nerve sparing (UNS) compared to bilateral nerve sparing (BNS) RARP was respectively 9 and 11.1% versus 3.5 and 42.9% of immediate therapy, 7 and 14.8% versus 5.5 and 35.5% of early and 9.7 and 9.5% versus 7.3 and 25% of late. Pad free and social continence was achieved in 54% and 37% of those receiving immediate therapy, 60% and 33% for early and 26% and 54% for late.
Conclusions
Immediate post RARP PDE5i therapy may protect EF and should be considered clinically, with more benefits for BNS than UNS patients. Immediate or early, rather than late, PDE5i therapy improved early continence in BNS patients.

Abstract
Background Due to the lack of high-quality evidence which has hindered the development of evidence-based guidelines, there is a need to provide general guidance on cranioplasty (CP) following traumatic brain injury (TBI), as well as identify areas of ongoing uncertainty via a consensus-based approach. Methods The international consensus meeting on post-traumatic CP was held during the International Conference on Recent Advances in Neurotraumatology (ICRAN), in Naples, Italy, in June 2018. This meeting was endorsed by the Neurotrauma Committee of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS), the NIHR Global Health Research Group on Neurotrauma, and several other neurotrauma organizations. Discussions and voting were organized around 5 pre-specified themes: (1) indications and technique, (2) materials, (3) timing, (4) hydrocephalus, and (5) paediatric CP. Results The participants discussed published evidence on each topic and proposed consensus statements, which were subject to ratification using anonymous real-time voting. Statements required an agreement threshold of more than 70% for inclusion in the final recommendations. Conclusions This document is the first set of practical consensus-based clinical recommendations on post-traumatic CP, focusing on timing, materials, complications, and surgical procedures. Future research directions are also presented.

Abstract
Most of the permanent hair dye products contain p-phenylenediamine (PPD), a well-known skin sensitizer. PPD may cause cutaneous reactions and leads to allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), a condition with major medical and financial repercussions. Hair dye-induced ACD represents a growing concern both for consumers and the cosmetics industry. In this study we introduced novel side chains on the PPD molecule with the goal of overcoming the hazard potential of PPD. Our strategy relies on the replacement of the colorless PPD with new, larger and intrinsically colorled PPD derivatives to reduce dermal penetration and thus the skin sensitization potential. We synthesized two oligomers with bulky side-chains, which displayed 7-8 times lower cytotoxicity than PPD, a significantly weaker sensitization potential (22.0 % and 23.8 % versus 55.5 % for PPD) in the Direct Peptide Reactivity Assay, minimal cumulative penetration through excised skin and an intrinsic ability to colour and preserve the nuance when applied on bleached hair. The lower skin permeation and sensitizing potential are absolutely crucial and give a clear advantage of our products over other standards. These novel PPD hair dyes show significantly less hazard potential than PPD and may, upon further risk assessment studies, replace PPD in consumer care products.

Abstract
This work focuses on the removal of cyanide, chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), and chloride from biological oxidation treated (BOT) effluent of the steel industry by integrated ozonation assisted electrocoagulation method. The removal efficiency of the pollutants was found to be inefficient when the electrocoagulation or ozonation process was performed separately. However, a combination of ozonation and electrocoagulation gives a highly satisfactory result. Such an integrated approach for the treatment of BOT effluent has not been previously investigated. The effects of operating variables viz. ozone generation rate, current density, and analysis time on pollutant removal were primarily analyzed for the hybrid process. The experimental operating condition was optimized and was seen that ozone generation rate of 1.33 mg s-1, ozonation time of 40 min, a current density of 100 A m-2, and electrolysis time of 30 min were sufficient for reducing the pollutant concentration below its permissible limits. The removal efficiencies of the combined process at optimum conditions were 99.8%, 94.7%, 95%, and 46.5% for cyanide, COD, BOD, and chloride ions, respectively. A kinetic study was performed for the degradation of the pollutants during ozonation. The pseudo-first-order kinetic model was found to be best suited for the analysis with the highest R2 value of 0.99 for cyanide, COD, BOD, and chloride, respectively. The mass transfer study conducted further showed that the volumetric mass transfer coefficient, Kla, was increased with that of the ozone generation rate. Cost estimation of the hybrid process was done and compared with that of the other reported integrated process.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are a major public health problem, requiring concerted efforts both for their prevention and a reduction of their consequences. The present study was designed to assess the existing process of pre-hospital trauma care administered to road accident victims in a fast urbanizing city of Jodhpur, Rajasthan
Methods
A cross-sectional study was designed from 1st November 2018 to 30th June 2019. All cases who were admitted to tertiary level trauma care facility in the study period were reviewed and were analyzed for type of injuries suffered, prehospital care services availed and the time duration that elapsed before patient arrived at tertiary health facility. Geographic information system was used to identify clustering of accident hot spots in the Jodhpur district.
Results
A total of 137 patients or their caregivers were interviewed during the study period. A large proportion of patients 57(41.6%) were unconscious in post-crash phase. Private taxis contributed to maximum patient transfer (75.9%) and only 12.4% were transported through ambulance. Almost three fourth (78.1%) of patients received some form of pre-hospital care within 30 minutes of accident. About one third patients (35.7%) reached the trauma facility directly after the accident while majority (64.9%) were referred from other health facilities
Conclusions
Pre-hospital trauma care for road traffic accident victims is available in golden hour for majority of victims in Jodhpur district. Victims from rural area and tourists form a sizeable proportion of accident victims brought to trauma care facility. The primary health care facilities play a pivotal role in managing victims as first point of care. Future research is thus warranted to explicitly examine the role of health professionals at primary health care facilities in administering pre-hospital trauma care.
Key messages
The primary health care facilities play a pivotal role in managing victims as first point of care. In areas with evolving trauma systems, pre-hospital trauma care strengthening requires capacity building of all level of health professionals.

Abstract
AIM Colectomy in patients with adenomatous polyposis (AP) syndromes demands good oncological and surgical outcome. Total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (TC-IRA) is one surgical option for these patients. Anastomotic leakage rates of 11% have been reported following TC-IRA. Ileo-distal sigmoid anastomosis (IDSA) is a recent modification of our practice. Our aim was to compare postoperative outcome in patients with AP following near-total colectomy with IDSA (NT-IDSA) and TC-IRA at a single institution. METHOD A prospectively maintained database was reviewed to identify patients with AP who underwent laparoscopic NT-IDSA and TC-IRA. Patient demographics, early morbidity and mortality and outcome of endoscopic surveillance were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 191 patients with AP underwent laparoscopic colectomy between 2006 and 2017, of whom 139 (72.8%) underwent TC-IRA and 52 (27.2%) NT-IDSA. The median age at surgery in the TC-IRA and NT-IDSA groups was 20 years (IQR 17-45) and 27 years (IQR 19-50), respectively. Grade II complications were comparable between the two groups. There were no anastomotic leakages in the NT-IDSA group compared with 15 (10.8%) in the TC-IRA group (P = 0.0125) and no reoperation in the NT-IDSA group compared with 17 (12.2%) in the TC-IRA group (P = 0.008). The frequency of polypectomies per flexible sigmoidoscopy was comparable between the two groups. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that laparoscopic NT-IDSA for polyposis is associated with a significant improvement in anastomotic leakage rates and surgical outcome. It is too soon to tell whether NT-IDSA alters the need for further intervention, either endoscopic polypectomy or further surgery.

Abstract
This work is focused on utilizing the solid waste generated from steel industry for the fabrication of porous ceramic membrane from Linz Donawitz (LD) slag. Membranes were fabricated using uniaxial method sintered at three different temperatures like 650 °C, 850 °C and 950 °C. Membranes fabricated with raw LD slag gave a highly basic filtrate. In contrast with this issue, LD slag was modified using acetic acid and CO2 purging to convert calcium oxide which is present in the slag to calcium carbonate. The membranes fabricated from modified LD slag showed a filtrate pH of 8.4 and 8.5. Porosity, pore size distribution, flexural strength, chemical stability was determined and pure water flux experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficiency of the prepared membranes. Considering the raw materials cost, the cost of the fabricated membranes was estimated in the range of 32.55-55.7 USD/m2. This work gives a potential path to develop microfiltration ceramic membrane with, high porosity and great quality in terms of strength and chemical stability. The fabricated membranes were utilized in a hybrid technique (flocculation followed by microfiltration) for the treatment of cold roll mill (CRM) wastewater generated from steel industry. Use of LD slag for the fabrication of ceramic membrane is not only an appealing option towards the commercialization of membrane, yet also great option to reduce the solid waste which is dumped to the environment.

Abstract
Analysis of extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) data for the MnIV -oxo complexes [MnIV (O)(DMM N4py)]2+ , [MnIV (O)(2pyN2B)]2+ , and [MnIV (O)(2pyN2Q)]2+ (DMM N4py=N,N-bis(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pyridylmethyl)-N-bis(2-pyridyl)methylamine; 2pyN2B=(N-bis(1-methyl-2-benzimidazolyl)methyl-N-(bis-2-pyridylmethyl)amine, and 2pyN2Q=N,N-bis(2-pyridyl)-N,N-bis(2-quinolylmethyl)methanamine) afforded Mn=O and Mn-N bond lengths. The Mn=O distances for [MnIV (O)(DMM N4py)]2+ and [MnIV (O)(2pyN2B)]2+ are 1.72 and 1.70 Å, respectively. In contrast, the Mn=O distance for [MnIV (O)(2pyN2Q)]2+ was significantly longer (1.76 Å). We attribute this long distance to sample heterogeneity, which is reasonable given the reduced stability of [MnIV (O)(2pyN2Q)]2+ . The Mn=O distances for [MnIV (O)(DMM N4py)]2+ and [MnIV (O)(2pyN2B)]2+ could only be well-reproduced using DFT-derived models that included strong hydrogen-bonds between second-sphere solvent 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol molecules and the oxo ligand. These results suggest an important role for the 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol solvent in stabilizing MnIV -oxo adducts. The DFT methods were extended to investigate the structure of the putative [MnIV (O)(N4py)]2+ ⋅(HOTf)2 adduct. These computations suggest that a MnIV -hydroxo species is most consistent with the available experimental data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alcohol and obesity synergise to increase the risk of liver-related mortality. We examined the influence of adiposity on clinical outcomes in alcoholic hepatitis (AH) and the underlying inflammatory crosstalk between adipose tissue (AT) and the liver. METHODS A cohort of 233 patients with AH from the UK and USA provided data to analyse the effects of obesity in AH. Body mass index was corrected for the severity of ascites, termed cBMI. Inflammatory and metabolic profiling was undertaken by proteome analysis of human serum samples. The effect of alcohol on adipose tissue and CXCL11 expression was studied in 3 T3-derived adipocytes and in mice using the high-fat diet-plus-binge ethanol model. FINDINGS Obesity was common amongst patients with AH, seen in 19% of individuals. Obesity (HR 2.22, 95%CI 1.1-4.3, p = .022) and underweight (HR 2.38, 1.00-5.6, p = .049) were independently associated with mortality at 3 months. Proteome analysis demonstrated multiple metabolic and inflammatory factors differentially expressed in obese AH verse lean AH, with CXCL11 being the most elevated factor in obese AH. In vitro analysis of cultured adipocytes and in vivo analysis of mouse models showed that alcohol induced CXCL11 expression in AT, but not in liver. INTERPRETATION Obesity is common in AH and associated with a greater than two-fold increase in short-term mortality. Obese AH is associated with a different inflammatory phenotype, with the greatest elevation in CXCL11. These data confirm that adiposity is clinically important in acute alcohol-related liver disease and illustrate the adipose-liver inflammatory axis in AH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For preclinical evaluations of radiopharmaceuticals, most studies are carried out on mice. Electron specific absorbed fractions (SAF) values have had vital role in the assessment of absorbed dose. In past studies, electron SAFs were given for limited source target pairs using older reports of human organ compositions. OBJECTIVE Electron specific absorbed fraction values for monoenergetic electrons of energies 15, 50, 100, 500, 1000 & 4000 keV were evaluated for the Digimouse voxel phantom incorporated in Monte Carlo code FLUKA. From the latest report (International Commission on Radiological Protection ICRP) 110, organ compositions and densities were adopted. MATERIAL AND METHODS We have used the Digimouse voxel phantom which was incorporated in Monte Carlo code FLUKA. Simulation studies were performed using FLUKA. The organ sources considered in this study were lungs, skeleton, heart, bladder, testis, stomach, spleen, pancreas, liver, kidney, adrenal, eye and brain. The considered target organs were lungs, skeleton, heart, bladder, testis, stomach, spleen, pancreas, liver, kidney, adrenal and brain. Eye and brain were considered as target organs only for eye and brain as source organs. RESULTS The electron SAF values for self-irradiation decreases with increasing electron energy. The electron SAF values for cross-irradiation are also found to be dependent on the electron energy and the geometries of source and target. Organ masses and electron SAF values are presented in tabular form. CONCLUSION The results of this study will be useful in evaluating the absorbed dose to various organs of mice similar in size to the present study.

Abstract
ObjectivesTo measure complications of paediatric neurooncology surgery using the Clavien Dindo grading scale, and identify predictors of surgical morbidity.DesignRetrospective review of prospectively collected data.SubjectsAll paediatric patients treated with craniotomy for excision of intracranial tumour between 2008 and 2017 in a single tertiary paediatric neurosurgery centre.MethodsDemographics, surgical details and perioperative complications were prospectively recorded between 0 and 30 days post operatively. These were retrospectively graded using the CD scale. Data analysis was done in R using logistic regression. Significance was defined as p<0.05ResultsBetween 3/1/2008 and 21/12/2017 there were 322 operations, on 254 patients (142 Male). Median age at surgery was 9 years (IQR 4–13 years). 48% were without complication on the CD scale. Maximum CD grade complication for each procedure was 1 in 11%, 2 in 19%, 3A in 2%, 3B in 14%, and 4 in 0.6% of operations. 30 day mortality was 0.9%. CD grade of 3B or over was associated with infratentorial tumours (OR 2.24; CI 1.10–4.68; p=0.004) and WHO grade III tumours (OR 4.12; CI 1.56–10.86; p=0.028).ConclusionsComplications in paediatric neurooncology surgery are common overall, but our results are favourable in comparison to the literature. The CD scale has limitations in neurosurgery but gives insight into the health economic impact of complications. Infratentorial tumours, and WHO grade III tumours were associated with increased morbidity.

Abstract
ObjectivesNeurovascular disorders are uncommon, complex conditions in children. We reviewed the screening practice and outcome of children referred to the neurovascular service on the basis of positive family history.DesignRetrospective review of prospectively maintained database.SubjectsChildren referred to the neurovascular service on the basis of family history, for screening at our hospital.MethodsWe retrospectively examined our database between July 2008 and April 2018 for the reasons for referral, family history, investigations performed, and the outcome of the screening process.Results44 children were reviewed (23 male, median age 10). Thirty-one children had an MRI/MRA brain. One child subsequently had uncomplicated digital subtraction angiography. Thirty children were referred due to a family history of subarachnoid haemorrhage, of which 17 had a single first-degree relative, and two had two first-degree relatives. Nine children were referred with a family history of arteriovenous malformation, (2 were associated with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia). Five children were discussed due to a family history of non-specific haemorrhagic stroke. Seven children had a history of headache, (4 were prescribed Pizotifen for migraine). No neurovascular pathology was detected following screening within our cohort.ConclusionsA consensus screening policy does not exist but is required both to guide clinical practice and to assuage parental or patient concerns. We will survey UK paediatric centres to commence this process.
