Abstract
Adhesion G protein-coupled receptor G4 (ADGRG4) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that belongs to the adhesion family. Participation of ADGRG4 in cell adhesion and migration, signaling pathway activation, influence on angiogenesis, and modulation of immune responses are some of the possible ways through which it may contribute to oncogenesis. Conducting extensive omics studies poses budgetary challenges to small labs in peripheral areas, primarily due to restricted research funding and resource limitations. Here we propose a low-budget model for biomarker screening. A total of 11 ovarian cancer samples were sent for exome sequencing. Among various genes, ADGRG4 variants were present in all 11 samples and thus were chosen as a potential biomarker in the present population. However, the precise role of ADGRG4 in cancer is not fully understood. The present study aims to look at the association between the ADGRG4 gene variants and their risk of ovarian cancer in the North Indian region of Jammu and Kashmir, India. Overall, 235 individuals (115 cases and 120 healthy controls) were genotyped for the selected biomarker using Sanger sequencing. Logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between the variant and ovarian cancer. A statistically significant association was identified between the ADGRG4 variant rs5930932 polymorphism and the incidence of ovarian cancer among the study population. When corrected for age and BMI, the dominating OR of variant rs5930932 was 1.035 (1.003-1.069) under HWE patients (0.95) and controls (0.18), with a p-value of (0.03). According to the findings of the current investigation, the ADGRG4 gene variant rs5930932 increases the chance of developing ovarian cancer in the studied population.

Abstract
The transverse-momentum (p_{T}) spectra and coalescence parameters B_{2} of (anti)deuterons are measured in p-p collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV for the first time in and out of jets. In this measurement, the direction of the leading particle with the highest p_{T} in the event (p_{T}^{lead}>5 GeV/c) is used as an approximation for the jet axis. The event is consequently divided into three azimuthal regions, and the jet signal is obtained as the difference between the toward region, that contains jet fragmentation products in addition to the underlying event (UE), and the transverse region, which is dominated by the UE. The coalescence parameter in the jet is found to be approximately a factor of 10 larger than that in the underlying event. This experimental observation is consistent with the coalescence picture and can be attributed to the smaller average phase-space distance between nucleons in the jet cone as compared with the underlying event. The results presented in this Letter are compared to predictions from a simple nucleon coalescence model, where the phase-space distributions of nucleons are generated using pythia8 with the Monash 2013 tuning, and to predictions from a deuteron production model based on ordinary nuclear reactions with parametrized energy-dependent cross sections tuned on data. The latter model is implemented in pythia8.3. Both models reproduce the observed large difference between in-jet and out-of-jet coalescence parameters, although the almost flat trend of the B_{2}^{Jet} is not reproduced by the models, which instead give a decreasing trend.

Abstract
Cisplatin, that is, cis-diamminedichloroplatinum is a coordinate compound that is mainly preferred as prior treatment against several solid tumors and malignancies like ovaries, head and neck, testicular, and lung cancers because of its anticancer activity. Cisplatin binds at the N7 position of purine and forms adducts, leading to altered activity of DNA that triggers apoptosis. DNA damage is followed by several signaling pathways like induced oxidative stress, upregulated p53, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) or Akt pathways along with induced apoptosis. Additionally, cisplatin treatment comes with few disadvantages such as toxic effects, that is, hepatotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, neurotoxicity, etc., and drug resistance. Furthermore, to overcome cisplatin resistance and toxicological effects, combination drug therapy has been considered. The aim of the review is to focus on the molecular mechanism of action of cisplatin and combination drug therapy to reduce the side effects in cancer therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND KEAP1 mutations have been associated with reduced survival in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), particularly in the presence of STK11/KRAS alterations. We hypothesized that, beyond co-occurring genomic events, clonality prediction may help identify deleterious KEAP1 mutations and their counterparts with retained sensitivity to ICIs. PATIENTS AND METHODS Beta-binomial modelling of sequencing read counts was used to infer KEAP1 clonal inactivation by combined somatic mutation and loss of heterozygosity (KEAP1 C-LOH) versus partial inactivation [KEAP1 clonal diploid-subclonal (KEAP1 CD-SC)] in the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) MetTropism cohort (N = 2550). Clonality/LOH prediction was compared to a streamlined clinical classifier that relies on variant allele frequencies (VAFs) and tumor purity (TP) (VAF/TP ratio). The impact of this classification on survival outcomes was tested in two independent cohorts of LUAD patients treated with immunotherapy (MSK/Rome N = 237; DFCI N = 461). Immune-related features were studied by exploiting RNA-sequencing data (TCGA) and multiplexed immunofluorescence (DFCI mIF cohort). RESULTS Clonality/LOH inference in the MSK MetTropism cohort overlapped with a clinical classification model defined by the VAF/TP ratio. In the ICI-treated MSK/Rome discovery cohort, predicted KEAP1 C-LOH mutations were associated with shorter progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to KEAP1 wild-type cases (PFS log-rank P = 0.001; OS log-rank P < 0.001). Similar results were obtained in the DFCI validation cohort (PFS log-rank P = 0.006; OS log-rank P = 0.014). In both cohorts, we did not observe any significant difference in survival outcomes when comparing KEAP1 CD-SC and wild-type tumors. Immune deconvolution and multiplexed immunofluorescence revealed that KEAP1 C-LOH and KEAP1 CD-SC differed for immune-related features. CONCLUSIONS KEAP1 C-LOH mutations are associated with an immune-excluded phenotype and worse clinical outcomes among advanced LUAD patients treated with ICIs. By contrast, survival outcomes of patients whose tumors harbored KEAP1 CD-SC mutations were similar to those with KEAP1 wild-type LUADs.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Poor muscle health is associated with a series of chronic and metabolic conditions that are prevalent in individuals who chronically experience poor-quality sleep. But there is no study deciphering the role of sleep deprivation on muscle ageing. Therefore, in the present study we have measured the ultrastructure, histopathology, and oxidative stressors in soleus muscle of wistar rat after sleep deprivation and recovery sleep.
Material and Methods
The experiments were conducted in 18 rats of three groups. Group I rats had normal sleep wake cycle, Group II rats were subjected to 24 h sleep deprivation (SD) by gentle handling method1 and Group III rats had recovery sleep after 24 h SD. At the end of the sleep, sleep deprivation and recovery period, soleus muscle tissue was collected for ultrastructural, histological and oxidative stress markers. Oxidative damage was assessed by lipid peroxidation, catalase activity, reduced glutathione and nuclear labelling of 8-OHdG. The study was conducted as per the guidelines of the Institutional Animal Ethics Committee (960/IAEC/16).
Results
The data demonstrated that SD leads to ultrastructural changes in soleus muscle which includes sarcolemmal and mitochondrial alterations. In case of histopathological and histomorphological changes there was signs of tissue degeneration, inflammatory infiltrate in type I fibres and muscle atrophy was observed in soleus muscles. There was significant increase in level of 8-OHdG (p=0.02) and malondialdehyde in 24h SD (p=0.02) than control and recovery sleep groups. Moreover, the catalase activity and reduced glutathione level was significantly decreased in 24h SD group (p≤0.02) than control and recovery sleep.
Conclusion
24hr sleep deprivation leads to an ageing like state in the skeletal muscle, which was recovered after sleep rebound.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Intracerebroventricular streptozotocin (ICV-STZ) injection is among the best animal models to simulate sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (sAD). Abnormality in brain insulin signalling, neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation, cholinergic damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, genetic abnormality, respiratory problem, oxidative stress, gliosis, sleep disturbances are associated with cognitive abnormalities seen in ICV-STZ injected rats. Available experimental evidence has used varying doses of STZ (<1 to 3mg/kg) and studied its effect for different study durations, ranging from 14-21 (short), 30-42 (mild), 90-105 (moderate) and 250-270 (long) days. These studies indicated that 3mg/kg of body-weight is the optimum dose for inducing sAD in the rodents. However, studies on the pathological process with related the morphological and functional abnormalities reported were illusive.
Objective/Method
Hence in the present study, we have investigated the morpho-functional changes after 3mg/kg ICV-STZ treatment with a follow-up of two months in 54 male Wistar rats (ethical no. 937/IAEC/PhD-2016).
Results
Exhibited a spatial, episodic and avoidance memory decline and increase in anxiety (p<0.05) in ICV-STZ group progressively with time from 15th day to 60th day post-injection. Morphometry showed hippocampal atrophy with CA1, CA3 layer thinning (p ≤0.01) and loss of neurons (p<0.0001) associated with third ventricular enlargement (p= 0.007) in ICV-STZ rats versus sham, along-with extracellular amyloid plaque in AD rats with Congored staining. In addition, spine morphometry with Golgi-Cox impregnation of mossy fibre showed a reduction of spine density in AD group versus control and sham group (p<0.0001). Finally, immunohistochemistry of GSK3ß, PI3K and mtCOX-1 antigen in coronal sections revealed an increase in mean intensity of GSK3ß and decrease in PI3K and mtCox-1 in brain areas associated with limbic system in ICV-STZ group on 60th day.
Conclusion
These findings suggest progressive dementia and anxiety in 3mg/kg STZ treated rats, which may be due to hippocampal atrophy, amyloidopathy, ventricular enlargement, synaptic dysfunction and deficits in energy homeostasis of brain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND COVID-19 infection has been linked with erectile dysfunction, which has also raised apprehensions about the impact of COVID-19 vaccination on male sexual functions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of COVID-19 vaccination on male sexual functions, such as erectile function, orgasmic function, sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction, and overall satisfaction. METHODS We used International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire for data collection. Mixed methods were adopted for this study, which consisted of Google online form distribution and the distribution of hard copies of the form to those who were not internet friendly. All data were entered in a spreadsheet and scores were assigned to each response according to the standard scores given in the IIEF questionnaire. Fifteen questions, one corresponding to each question in the IIEF questionnaire, were included to assess the impact of COVID-19 vaccination on each sexual function. RESULTS In the first part of analysis, we calculated sexual function scores and men reporting low sexual function scores (~ 15%) were excluded, providing us with 465 individuals for further analysis. Regarding the impact of COVID-19 vaccination on male sexual functions, 71% individuals reported no impact, 3% reported a decline, 2.7% reported an improvement, and 23.3% could not assess the impact. We also performed analysis on the basis of age-groups of the participants and the duration after vaccination, finding that there was no impact irrespective of the age of subjects or the length of period after vaccination. CONCLUSIONS COVID-19 vaccination does not affect male sexual functions, including erectile function, orgasmic function, sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction, and overall sexual satisfaction.

Abstract
The generation, manipulation and quantification of non-classical light, such as quantum-entangled photon pairs, differs significantly from methods with classical light. Thus, quantum measures could be harnessed to give new information about the interaction of light with matter. In this study we investigate if quantum entanglement can be used to diagnose disease. In particular, we test whether brain tissue from subjects suffering from Alzheimer's disease can be distinguished from healthy tissue. We find that this is indeed the case. Polarization-entangled photons traveling through brain tissue lose their entanglement via a decohering scattering interaction that gradually renders the light in a maximally mixed state. We found that in thin tissue samples (between 120 and 600 micrometers) photons decohere to a distinguishable lesser degree in samples with Alzheimer's disease than in healthy-control ones. Thus, it seems feasible that quantum measures of entangled photons could be used as a means to identify brain samples with the neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Myocardial dysfunction is well established in systemic sclerosis (SSc). The utility of standard echocardiography is limited to detect the onset of myocardial dysfunction. Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) and strain imaging has emerged as a useful technique to quantify left ventricle hemodynamics and myocardial function in early stages of myocardial dysfunction. We aimed to systematically analyze the existing literature on the application of STE and strain analysis in identifying SSc associated myocardial dysfunction
Methods
PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar were queried for studies from the inception of the databases to 2022. Case control studies that used 2D STE for assessment of strain in SSc patients and controls, were included for the analysis. PRISMA guidelines were followed for selections of studies. Two independent reviewers extracted data. Analysis was done using Cochrane Review Manager 5.0.
Results
Total of 19 studies were included in the analysis that compared strain analysis in SSc patient's vs healthy controls. Of the 16 studies that reported left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain, we found significantly lower LV global longitudinal strain in SSc patients (mean difference 1.92; 95% CI 0.98–2.87). Six studies reported LV circumferential strain which was noted to be lower in SSc patients compared to healthy controls (mean difference 3.55; 95% CI 1.60–5.51). Five studies reported LV global radial strain with a similar decrease in radial strain among SSc patients compared to controls (mean difference 4.39; 95% CI −6.95 to −1.83). 10 studies reported right ventricular longitudinal strain with a decrease in longitudinal strain in SSc patient's vs controls (mean difference 2.57; 95% CI 2.03–3.12).
Conclusions
SSc patients have lower strain values compared to controls, which is suggestive of an impaired myocardial function in left and right ventricle. Strain analysis by STE could help with early detection of myocardial dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allele-specific KRAS inhibitors are an emerging class of cancer therapies. KRAS-mutant (KRASMUT) non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) exhibit heterogeneous outcomes, driven by differences in underlying biology shaped by co-mutations. In contrast to KRASG12C NSCLC, KRASG12D NSCLC is associated with low/never-smoking status and is largely uncharacterized. PATIENTS AND METHODS Clinicopathologic and genomic information were collected from patients with NSCLCs harboring a KRAS mutation at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI), Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Imperial College of London. Multiplexed immunofluorescence for CK7, programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), Foxp3, and CD8 was carried out on a subset of samples with available tissue at the DFCI. Clinical outcomes to PD-(L)1 inhibition ± chemotherapy were analyzed according to KRAS mutation subtype. RESULTS Of 2327 patients with KRAS-mutated (KRASMUT) NSCLC, 15% (n = 354) harbored KRASG12D. Compared to KRASnon-G12D NSCLC, KRASG12D NSCLC had a lower pack-year (py) smoking history (median 22.5 py versus 30.0 py, P < 0.0001) and was enriched in never smokers (22% versus 5%, P < 0.0001). KRASG12D had lower PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) (median 1% versus 5%, P < 0.01) and lower tumor mutation burden (TMB) compared to KRASnon-G12D (median 8.4 versus 9.9 mt/Mb, P < 0.0001). Of the samples which underwent multiplexed immunofluorescence, KRASG12D had lower intratumoral and total CD8+PD1+ T cells (P < 0.05). Among 850 patients with advanced KRASMUT NSCLC who received PD-(L)1-based therapies, KRASG12D was associated with a worse objective response rate (ORR) (15.8% versus 28.4%, P = 0.03), progression-free survival (PFS) [hazard ratio (HR) 1.51, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.45-2.00, P = 0.003], and overall survival (OS; HR 1.45, 1.05-1.99, P = 0.02) to PD-(L)1 inhibition alone but not to chemo-immunotherapy combinations [ORR 30.6% versus 35.7%, P = 0.51; PFS HR 1.28 (95%CI 0.92-1.77), P = 0.13; OS HR 1.36 (95%CI 0.95-1.96), P = 0.09] compared to KRASnon-G12D. CONCLUSIONS KRASG12D lung cancers harbor distinct clinical, genomic, and immunologic features compared to other KRAS-mutated lung cancers and worse outcomes to PD-(L)1 blockade. Drug development for KRASG12D lung cancers will have to take these differences into account.

Abstract
Introduction
Psychiatry emergencies in India is major challenge for emergency service providers due to rapid growth of various behavioural, higher morbidity and mortality rate. Despite, psychiatry conditions are neglected area related to stigma, share, lack of awareness, and superstitious beliefs. There is an urgent need for specialist psychiatric emergency services, which can fill the huge gap between policymakers and health service providers joined together.
Objectives
Present feasibility study has been undertaken to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combined emergency and Ayurveda medicine management of psychiatric emergencies in community-based settings.
Methods
Ayu-Emergency Care project was developed in partnership with policy makers, researchers and health care providers, a collaborative platform of emergency medicine and Ayurveda medicine (Indian Traditional Medicine) for developing whole-system perspective, where providers work in a coordinated and joined-up way. Twenty trained care providers in psychiatry emergency and Ayurveda management worked in partnership with community-based organisation.
Results
Patients with major clinical difficulties, in the acute phase were treated and managed by Ayu-Emergencypractitioners. Severe Agitation and violence relating to substance abuse, anxiety disorder and psychosis were the most common admission diagnoses. 2-weeks results indicate that Ayurveda intervention can reduce anxiety(p<0.01), aggression (p< 0.001) and agitation (p<0.01) significantly with no side effects reported. Intervention found to be clinically beneficial and cost-efficient alternative to out-of-home placements (i.e., Incarceration, psychiatric hospitalisation).
Conclusions
The study’s findings highlight safety, efficacy and feasibility of intervention. Patients both prefer and seem to benefit from community-based ayu-psychiatric care, and early-intervention community program could be a good model for such care.

Abstract
Castleman Disease (CD) is a rare entity that typically presents as an enhancing nodal mass in the mediastinum or head and neck region on computed tomography (CT). It may manifest as unicentric or multicentric regions of lymph node enlargement. A key clinical issue in the context of CD is delayed diagnosis, which contributes adversely to patient outcome, given that accurate diagnosis facilitates earlier treatment of this curable disease. This article will address relevant imaging aspects, with reference to typical and atypical imaging features of CD, illustrated using examples from our specialist centre; the imaging journey for patients with CD; and will provide practical pointers to radiologists in differentiating CD from other benign and malignant causes of enhancing lymphadenopathy, including lymphoma and neoplastic adenopathy. We will also review current classification tools and staging challenges with reference to World Health Organization guidelines, International Working Group guidelines as well as the Lugano classification. Finally, we will discuss the potential role of additional imaging techniques in CD, highlighting novel imaging methods and expanded utilities from our specialist centre.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common lung cancer, accounting for 80-85% of all lung cancer cases. Various genetic studies have associated REV3L (Protein reversion less 3-like) gene mutations, which encodes the catalytic subunit of error prone translesion synthesis polymerase zeta with cancer, including lung cancer; however, no such data is available from any North Indian population. In this study we attempted to screen the North Indian population of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) for the potential role of REV3L gene polymorphisms in NSCLC. METHODS A total of four REV3L single nucleotide variants were selected for genotyping based on the available literature. The genotyping was carried out by using the TaqMan allele discrimination assay in 500 subjects (200 NSCLC patients and 300 age and sex matched healthy controls). The association of variants with NSCLC was evaluated by logistic regression. RESULTS Out of the four REV3L variants genotyped; rs1002481, rs462779, and rs465646 were found significantly associated with NSCLC risk under the recessive model, with an Odds Ratio (OR) of 3.52(2.14-5.8 at 95% CI, p-value = 0.00000062), 3.7 (1.8-7.6 at 95% CI, p-value = 0.00031), and 2.2 (1.47-3.37 at 95% CI, p-value = 0.0003), respectively. DISCUSSION Our data supports a strong association between variants rs1002481, rs462779, rs465646 and NSCLC, indicating a potential role of these REV3L variants in increasing the risk for the development of NSCLC in the studied population. Although a first report from any Indian population, these variants have been previously reported to be associated with lung and colorectal cancers in different world populations. Our data along with the existing data supports the notation that these variants can be used as potential genetic predisposition markers. AVAILABILITY OF DATA AND MATERIALS Data generated and analysed during study is not available publicly but can be made available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
The incidence of heart failure has exponentially increased over the last few decades and acute decompensated diastolic heart failure is one of the leading causes of hospitalization and readmission. Cardiac amyloidosis is one of the rapidly progressing heart conditions. It occurs due to amorphous proteinaceous material called amyloid into the extracellular space of the heart. The infiltration of the heart from amyloid protein has a broad spectrum of presentation, including diastolic heart failure.
Purpose
Heart failure due to amyloidosis is characterized by diastolic dysfunction resulting from restrictive cardiomyopathy. The outcomes of hospitalized patient with acute decompensated diastolic heart failure in amyloidosis patients compared to those without amyloidosis is not well defined.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective cohort study by utilizing the National Inpatient sample database from 2017. Using International Classification of disease (ICD)-10 codes, patients with the diagnosis of acute and acute on chronic diastolic heart failure were enrolled in the study. They were further stratified based on the presence of amyloidosis. The primary outcome was to measure in-hospital mortality, while secondary outcomes included development of acute kidney injury (AKI), Acute respiratory failure (ARF), shock and arrhythmias.
Results
Out of the 915,694 patients with Acute Decompensated diastolic heart failure, about 2270 had amyloidosis as secondary diagnosis. 6.1% of ADHF and amyloidosis died in hospital, compared to 4.2% in those without amyloidosis (aOR=1.35 CI=0.89–2.05, p=0.197). On multivariate analysis, patients with Amyloidosis had increased odds of developing AKI (aOR=1.40 CI 1.13–1.72, p=0.001), Cardiogenic shock (aOR=2.67 CI 1.56–4.55, p<0.001) and arrhythmias (aOR=1.34, CI 1.10–1.64, p=0.004). The incidence of ARF was however lower in patients without amyloidosis compared to those with it (aOR=0.60, CI 0.47–0.75, p<0.001).
Conclusion
Amyloidosis is one of the underappreciated and underdiagnosed causes of heart failure. Our study shows an increased risk of complications in acute decompensated heart failure with the presence of amyloidosis. Thus, physicians must be aware of this clinical entity for early diagnosis as patients with advanced disease are likely to have poor prognoses.

Abstract
Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare but emerging T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It has two distinct subtypes, "effusion-only" or "mass-forming" disease, arising around implants in patients with in situ or previous history of textured-surface breast implants. The clinical, histopathological and imaging features are unique and nuanced as compared to primary breast malignancy and other lymphoma categories. Prompt recognition and diagnosis triggers referral to appropriate BIA-ALCL centres and initiation of treatment, with potential for excellent prognosis. Definitive management of both subtypes involves implant and capsule removal; systemic therapy is reserved for mass-forming disease and advanced-stage disease. There have been recent crucial advances in the diagnostic pathway, with publication of national and international guidelines: from the UK Medicines Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Expert Advisory Group (PRASEAG), and the United States National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN). This review provides a practical guide to the clinical work-up of BIA-ALCL, enabling optimisation of the diagnostic imaging pathway, with representative cases.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is the most common leukaemia in adults. It is a malignancy of CD5 B-cells characterised by small, mature-appearing lymphocytes accumulating in the blood, bone marrow, and lymphoid tissues. Richer transformation (RT) is an important adverse complication. Detection of RT is critical to allow initiation of appropriate therapy. CLL staging and response evaluation is complicated and nuanced. From our extensive tertiary centre experience of several hundred CLL cases over the last decade, we detail key computed tomography (CT) and positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging features of the natural history of CLL. The authors present an original imaging-based patient-management paradigm for the investigation of potential RT, which will inform global practice. Potential applications of whole-body diffusion weighted imaging, novel PET radiotracers, minimal residual disease, and ct-DNA are addressed.

Abstract
This practice note reports on the work of the Namaste Community Health Partnership, an academic-community partnership established to address health disparities in a metro-area Bhutanese-Nepali refugee community in the western United States. Partners worked together to develop, implement, and evaluate a culturally-tailored health promotion program where Bhutanese-Nepali individuals led weekly walking groups and shared health promotion information and behavior change tools with community participants. The program was implemented with approximately 70 community members across two metro-area neighborhoods and two adult day care centers serving elders. Evaluation strategies included documenting walk attendance, tracking engagement with health promotion goals, and focus group discussions with program participants. Once enrolled, most participants consistently attended walks and achieved weekly goals-some even increased walking frequency beyond program requirements. Participants provided positive feedback about having a community leader and reported learning new information and enjoying participating with other community members. Challenges and lessons learned included difficulties engaging younger adults from the community, concerns about signing research consent forms, cultural norms discouraging the distribution of individual research participation incentives, variability across groups in preferences for program activities, and barriers to administering survey-based evaluation instruments. This academic-community partnership built capacity in the local Bhutanese-Nepali community, produced culturally relevant health programming, and trained and employed community members as health educators and physical activity leaders. The program resulting from this work has the potential to improve health knowledge and chronic disease prevention practices and ultimately reduce health disparities in an underserved refugee community.

Abstract
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) encompasses over 40 different haematological malignancies, including low and high-grade neoplasms, such as follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) respectively. A key clinical issue in the context of NHL is delayed and inaccurate diagnosis, which contributes adversely to patient morbidity and mortality. This article will address relevant imaging aspects, with particular reference to advancements in NHL imaging, including computed tomography (CT), integrated positron-emission tomography (PET)-CT, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We provide multiparametric (anato-functional) imaging display items, including histological correlation. We will also introduce our original concept of "Specialist Integrated Haematological Malignancy Imaging Reporting" (SIHMIR), a paradigm shift in lymphoma radiology.

Abstract
Canine heartworm disease (CHD) results from infection with Dirofilaria immitis and while it is of global concern, it is most prevalent in tropical climates where conditions support the parasite and vector life cycles. Melarsomine dihydrochloride is the sole treatment for CHD recommended by the American Heartworm Society. However, in cases where cost or access to melarsomine precludes treatment of an infected dog, therapeutic alternatives are warranted. This randomized, controlled field study evaluated the adulticidal efficacy of a combination therapeutic protocol using 10 % imidacloprid + 2.5 % moxidectin spot-on and a single 28-day course of doxycycline and compared with that of a 2-dose melarsomine dihydrochloride protocol. Of 37 naturally-infected domestic dogs with class 1, 2 or early class 3 CHD enrolled in the study, 30 were evaluated for a minimum of 12 months. Seven dogs were withdrawn due to canine ehrlichiosis, non-compliance, or wrongful inclusion. Dogs were randomly assigned to a control (CP, n = 15) or investigational (IVP, n = 15) treatment group. CP dogs received two injections of melarsomine dihydrochloride (2.5 mg/kg) 24 -hs apart and maintained on monthly ivermectin/pyrantel. IVP dogs were treated with oral doxycycline (10 mg/kg twice daily for 28 days) and topical 10 % imidacloprid + 2.5 % moxidectin once monthly for 9 months. Dogs were evaluated up to 18 months - monthly for the first 9 months, then every 3 months. Parasiticidal efficacy was based on antigen status using the IDEXX PetChek® 34 Heartworm-PF Antigen test. By month 18, antigen was not detected in any study dog except one from the IVP group. One other IVP dog was persistently antigenemic and treated with melarsomine at month 12 according to the initial study protocol. Mean antigen concentration (based on optical density) decreased more rapidly in the CP group and by month 15 was 0.11 for the IVP and 0.07 for CP groups, with equivalent median concentrations (0.04) in both groups. Conversion following heat-treatment of antigen-negative samples occurred frequently and at similar rates in both treatment groups. Based on the bias of diagnostic tests towards detection of female worms, we conclude that monthly application of 10 % imidacloprid + 2.5 % moxidectin for 9 months combined with a course of doxycycline twice daily for 28 days resulted in effective therapy against female adults in CHD. This therapeutic option may be particularly useful in cases where financial constraint or access to melarsomine precludes treatment of an infected individual. This study was supported by Bayer Animal Health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Non-native English speaking workers with a mild work-related traumatic brain and/or head injury are a vulnerable and underrepresented population in research studies. The researchers present their experiences with recruiting and performing qualitative interviews with non-native English speaking individuals with a work-related mild traumatic brain injury, and provide recommendations on how to better include this vulnerable population in future research studies. This paper presents considerations regarding ethics, recruitment challenges, interview preparation and debriefing, sex & gender and language and cultural issues must be made when working with this vulnerable population. RESULTS The researchers discuss critical issues and provide recommendations in recruiting and engaging with non-native English language workers including ethics, recruitment challenges, interview preparation and debriefing, sex & gender and language, and cultural considerations that must be made when working with this population. The study recommendations advise investigators to spend more time to learn about the non-native English participants in the mild wrTBI context, to be familiar with the vulnerabilities and specific circumstances that these workers experience. By increasing their awareness of the challenging facing this vulnerable population, the intention is to provide better care and treatment options through evidence-based research and practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyse the aetiology of stillbirth and its changing trends in a single tertiary care referral institute of northern India over a 10-year period (2007-2016). DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Tertiary care hospital in the north of India. SAMPLE Medical records of all mothers who delivered a stillborn at the institute. METHODS Data was collected from monthly and annual perinatal audits and causes of stillbirths were classified using Simplified CODAC classification. Annual reduction rate was calculated by linear regression analysis and Cusick test for the changing trends over 9 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Of 54 160 births, 3678 babies were stillborn. Over 9 years, the annual stillbirth rate has reduced significantly from 73.6 to 62.0 per 1000 total births with an average annual reduction rate of 1%. The most common causes of stillbirths were hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (27.6%), antepartum haemorrhage (19.5%), and congenital anomalies (9.3%). CONCLUSION The annual reduction rate (1%) of stillbirth remains low. The aetiology of stillbirths remains unchanged over a 10-year period and hypertensive disorder of pregnancy remains the single most preventable cause of stillbirth. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT Analysis of stillbirths over a 10-year period in an Indian institute showed a high but declining trend with annual reduction rate of 1%.

Abstract
AIM To compare the effectiveness of different decontamination methods on tried-in preformed metal crowns (PMCs). METHODS Sixty unused PMCs and 90 tried-in PMCs from patients were assessed for contamination after culturing for 24 h on liquid media, solid media and differential media for identification of Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. Subsequently, these PMCs were divided equally into the following six groups: autoclave (121 °C, 15 psi for 15 min), 5% sodium hypochlorite (5 min), 5% glutaraldehyde (5 min), 70% isopropyl alcohol (1 min) and normal saline (5 min). The contamination was reassessed, and the Log10 counts were compared to the pre-decontamination levels using one way ANOVA and paired t-test at a significance level of p < 0.05. RESULTS The mean percentage reduction in colony counts was significantly more in the autoclave group compared to glutaraldehyde or sodium hypochlorite groups, glass bead, isopropyl alcohol, and normal saline in this decreasing order. CONCLUSIONS PMCs supplied by the manufacturer were found to be sterile and can be used directly on patients. The autoclave was the best method of sterilisation, although it did not eliminate the microbes 100%; followed by 5% glutaraldehyde and 5% sodium hypochlorite.

Abstract
Summary Allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) is a clinical syndrome associated with immune sensitivity to various fungi that colonize the airways. Early diagnosis and treatment with systemic corticosteroids is the key in preventing the progression of the disease to irreversible lung fibrosis. Although Aspergillus has progressively gained recognition as a causative agent in past few decades, other fungi, that have been reported to cause ABPM, are not yet widely evaluated. We studied hundred and two patients with asthma for occurrence of ABPM. Patients were tested for cutaneous hypersensitivity and serum precipitin to 12 common fungal antigens. The positive cases were further evaluated for ABPM using standard criteria. Out of 102 asthma patients screened, 18 patients had either skin prick test (SPT) and/or serum precipitin positive. While 14 patients were SPT positive for one or more fungal antigen, two patients were serum precipitin positive for one or more fungi. Two patients had both serum precipitin positive as well as SPT positive. Six (5.8%) patients were diagnosed as ABPM as they fulfilled the criteria. Three of these were because of Aspergillus sp. Two were because of fungi other than Aspergillus namely Schizophyllum and Curvularia. One patient had ABPM because of both Aspergillus and Curvularia. In our study absolute eosinophil count (AEC), total IgE, serum precipitin and SPT had sensitivity of 100%, 100% 50% and 83.3% respectively for diagnosing ABPM. The specificity of these tests was 44.79%, 64.58% 98.96% and 88.54% respectively. Specfic IgE was positive in 50% of patients with either serum precipitin or SPT positivity. SPT or serum precipitin followed by specific IgE had sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 96.88% for diagnosing ABPM. SPT alone followed by Specific IgE had a sensitivity of 83.33% and specificity of 96.88% for diagnosing ABPM. We found that fungi other than Aspergillus such as schizophyllum, and curvularia, can be implicated in ABPM. Multiple fungal agents may be responsible for ABPM in an individual. There is a subset of patients of BA who have fungal sensitization but do not fulfil the criteria for ABPM. SPT was the single most sensitive and specific test, AEC >350 and total IgE more than 417IU were most sensitive tests and SPT followed by specific IgE was most effective strategy for diagnosing ABPM.

Abstract
The objectives of the study were to study the incidence of various degrees of severity of thrombocytopenia in septic shock, the risk factors for its development and the correlation with clinical outcome. Complete blood counts, chemistry panel, arterial lactate, serum cortisol, APACHE II score, logistic organ dysfunction score and SOFA score were determined in 69 septic shock patients within 24 hours of admission or onset of septic shock. We followed the patients until they died or for six months to determine the mortality rate. The incidence of thrombocytopenia in our study group was 55%. Patients with thrombocytopenia had significantly higher serum creatinine, SOFA score, vasopressor requirement, lower PaO2/FiO2 ratio and higher mortality than those without thrombocytopenia (P <0.05). Higher SOFA score, low PaO2/FiO2 ratio and high vasopressor dose were independent risk factors for development of thrombocytopenia. The presence of thrombocytopenia had significant correlation with SOFA score (P=0.008). On receiver-operator characteristic curve analysis, platelet count was found to be predictive of increased mortality (area under curve=0.56). Thrombocytopenic patients had 1.4 times the risk of mortality and lower survival probability at six months (log rank test P=0.03). In conclusion, thrombocytopenia is common in septic shock and is associated with worse clinical outcome. Higher SOFA score, low PaO2/FiO2 ratio and high vasopressor dose are independent risk factors for development of thrombocytopenia in septic shock.

Abstract
Successful clinical translation of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapies for cartilage repair will likely require the implementation of standardised protocols and broadly applicable tools to facilitate the comparisons among cell types and chondroinduction methods. The present study investigated the utility of recombinant lentiviral reporter vectors as reliable tools for comparing chondrogenic potential among primary cell populations and distinguishing cellular-level variations of chondrogenic activity in widely used three-dimensional (3D) culture systems. Primary equine MSCs and chondrocytes were transduced with vectors containing combinations of fluorescent and luciferase reporter genes under constitutive cytomeglavirus (CMV) or chondrocyte-lineage (Col2) promoters. Reporter activity was measured by fluorescence imaging and luciferase assay. In 3D cultures of MSC aggregates and polyethylene glycol-hyaluronic acid (PEG-HA) hydrogels, transforming growth factor beta 3 (TGF-β3)-mediated chondroinduction increased Col2 reporter activity, demonstrating close correlation with histology and mRNA expression levels of COL2A1 and SOX9. Comparison of chondrogenic activities among MSC populations using a secretable luciferase reporter revealed enhanced chondrogenesis in bone-marrow-derived MSCs relative to MSC populations from synovium and adipose tissues. A dual fluorescence reporter - enabling discrimination of highly chondrogenic (Col2-GFP) cells within an MSC population (CMV-tdTomato) - revealed marked heterogeneity in differentiating aggregate cultures and identified chondrogenic cells in chondrocyte-seeded PEG-HA hydrogels after 6 weeks in a subcutaneous implant model - indicating stable, long-term reporter expression in vivo. These results suggested that lentiviral reporter vectors may be used to address fundamental questions regarding chondrogenic activity in chondroprogenitor cell populations and accelerate clinical translation of cell-based cartilage repair strategies.

Abstract
Background The mining industry is associated with high levels of accidents, injuries and illnesses. Lost-time injuries are useful measures of health and safety in mines, and the effectiveness of its safety programmes. Aims To identify the type of lost-time injuries in the US mining workforce and to examine predictors of these occupational injuries. Methods Primary papers on lost-time injuries in the US mining sector were identified through a literature search in eight health, geology and mining databases, using a systematic review protocol tailored to each database. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP), Framework of Quality Assurance for Administrative Data Source and the Cochrane Collaboration 'Risk of bias' assessment tools were used to assess study quality. Results A total of 1736 articles were retrieved before duplicates were removed. Fifteen articles were ultimately included with a CASP mean score of 6.33 (SD 0.62) out of 10. Predictors of lost-time injuries included slips and falls, electric injuries, use of mining equipment, working in underground mining, worker's age and occupational experience. Conclusions This is the first systematic review of lost-time injuries in the US mining sector. The results support the need for further research on factors that contribute to workplace lost-time injuries as there is limited literature on the topic. Safety analytics should also be applied to uncover new trends and predict the likelihood of future incidents before they occur. New insights will allow employers to prevent injuries and foster a safer workplace environment by implementing successful occupational health and safety programmes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Work-related head injury is a critical public health issue due to its rising prevalence; the association with profound disruption of workers' lives; and significant economic burdens in terms of medical costs and lost wages. Efforts to understand and prevent these types of injuries have largely been dominated by epidemiological research and safety science, which has focused on identifying risk at the level of the individual worker, population group, or organizational sector. Limited research has focused on the perspectives of the workers, a key stakeholder group for informing understanding of vulnerability to work-related head injury. This study explored workers' perspectives to better understand their decision-making and how and why their injuries occurred. METHODS We conducted a qualitative study using in-depth semi-structured interviews with thirty-two adult workers who had sustained a work-related head injury. Workers were recruited from an urban clinic in central Ontario, Canada. Labour Process Theory informed the thematic analysis. RESULTS Three hazardous work conditions were identified: insufficient training; inadequate staffing; and inattention to the physical environment. In addition, professional and organizational norms were implicated in vulnerability to head injury including putting the client before the worker and the pressure to work unsafely. The findings also highlight a complex interrelationship between workers' decision-making and professional and organizational norms that produces vulnerability to head injury, a vulnerability which oftentimes is reproduced by workers' decisions to work despite hazardous conditions. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that, beyond the need to redress the inattention to hazards in the physical environment, there is a need to address norms that influence worker decision-making to improve the safety of workers. Using Labour Process Theory highlights an important social dynamic within workplace sectors that could inform future development and implementation of multi-level and integrated public health strategies to reduce work-related head injury.

Abstract
We report the first dijet transverse momentum asymmetry measurements from Au+Au and pp collisions at RHIC. The two highest-energy back-to-back jets reconstructed from fragments with transverse momenta above 2 GeV/c display a significantly higher momentum imbalance in heavy-ion collisions than in the pp reference. When reexamined with correlated soft particles included, we observe that these dijets then exhibit a unique new feature-momentum balance is restored to that observed in pp for a jet resolution parameter of R=0.4, while rebalancing is not attained with a smaller value of R=0.2.

Abstract
Acrylamide (ACR) is a neurotoxicant, reproductive toxicant, and carcinogen in animal species. It is used in many industries and has been found to form naturally in foods cooked at high temperatures. Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring antioxidant whose therapeutic effect has been related to its antioxidant activity. This study was carried out to study the protective effect of alpha lipoic acid on acrylamide induced perturbations in rat liver. Four groups of rats were studied viz., control rats, acrylamide treated rats, alpha lipoic acid treated rats, and alpha lipoic acid plus acrylamide treated rats. ACR and ALA treatment alone and together caused a signifi-cant increase in hepatic reduced glutathione content while a decrease in hepatic ascorbic content was observed when compared to control group. ALA pretreatment of acrylamide exposed rats caused no a signifi-cant alteration in superoxide dismutase activity but resulted in a tendency towards restoration of glutathione peroxidase and catalase activity to near normal levels. Gel electrophoresis showed fragmentation of DNA in the treated groups. The dose of ALA used in the present study afforded partial restoration of oxidative indices altered by ACR in rat liver.

Abstract
Carbofuran is used to improve the agricultural productivity as well as to protect the house hold and industrial products, but due to accumulation in the biological system, it causes serious side effects in many non-targets mammalian systems. The aim of present study is to evaluate the carbofuran induced oxidative stress in rat heart and its attenuation by using herbal product curcumin. Rats were divided into four groups; one group received 20 % LD50 of carbofuran another group of rats received same doses of carbofuran was pretreated with curcumin (100 mg kg-1 body weight) and remaining two other groups served as control and curcumin treated animals. The activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the heart tissues and serum was evaluated and the activity of enzymatic antioxidants superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) was estimated in the heart tissues. The level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in heart tissues was also measured. The Total cholesterol (TC) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) was measured in the serum of the entire animals group. The results of present study showed that the activity of LDH in heart tissues were decreased and in serum was elevated. The MDA level was significantly elevated due to exposure of carbofuran. The enzymatic antioxidants, SOD and CAT activities were also inhibited. The ratio of pro-oxidant (P)/antioxidant (A) was also found to be sharply increased in the rat heart tissues of carbofuran exposed animals. The alterations in all the parameter were recovered by the pretreatment of curcumin (100 mg kg-1 body weight).

Abstract
We present the first measurement of charge-dependent directed flow in Cu+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. The results are presented as a function of the particle transverse momentum and pseudorapidity for different centralities. A finite difference between the directed flow of positive and negative charged particles is observed that qualitatively agrees with the expectations from the effects of the initial strong electric field between two colliding ions with different nuclear charges. The measured difference in directed flow is much smaller than that obtained from the parton-hadron-string-dynamics model, which suggests that most of the electric charges, i.e., quarks and antiquarks, have not yet been created during the lifetime of the strong electric field, which is of the order of, or less than, 1 fm/c.

Abstract
Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common and relapsing functional bowel disorder. This disease has a substantial global burden and is associated with significant disability and high costs that adversely affects the health related quality of life of large population worldwide.Aims and Objective: We studied the efficacy and tolerability of bulk laxative plus probiotic and prebiotic in the treatment of constipation associated IBS (IBS-C) in Indian patients.Materials and Methods: Eighty patients with symptoms of IBS-C were enrolled in a post-marketing surveillance, multicentre, open label, non-randomized, noncomparative study where EVAQ- P - combination of fiber (psylliun husk/Ispaghula, probiotic and prebiotic) was given BID for 6 weeks. The symptoms were assessed at baseline, and after completion of 2, 4 and 6 weeks of therapy.Results: Results showed a signifi cant trend (p < 0.0001) of improvement from week 2 for abdominal pain, abdominal fullness, defecation frequency, straining during defecation, constipation and subject global assessment of relief (SGA). Approximately 6% patients showed fl atulence (mild) as a treatment emergent side effect.Conclusion: Combination of ispaghula along with a blend of probiotics and prebiotic twice daily for 6 weeks is effi cacious, safe, and well-tolerated in IBS-C patients.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.8(1) 2017 85-90

Abstract
Background Laryngopharyngeal reflux is a global health problem and is associated with a huge economic burden and decreased quality of life. Studies describing the epidemiology of laryngopharyngeal reflux are sparse in India and south east Asia. This study becomes significant as it is being conducted in Sikkimese population who resides in high altitude have a different lifestyle. Objective To evaluate the risk factors for laryngopharyngeal reflux among Sikkimese origin. Method Patients of Sikkimese origin visiting Ear Nose Throat outpatient department Were administered with validated questionnaire. The patients were further subjected to validate Reflux symptom Index score. Indirect laryngoscopy was performed to calculate reflux finding score. Presence of laryngopharyngeal reflux was identified with patients having reflux symptom index and reflux finding score of greater or equal to 13 or more and 7 or more. Result Out of 200 subjects analysed, there were 77(38.5%) male and 123(61.5%) female. Heartburn and regurgitation were the most common symptom among the masses. Hoarseness and frequent throat clearance were the commonest laryngopharyngeal reflux symptoms. Various risk factors were computed as mentioned in the results column. Conclusion Study on the above mentioned population differed from rest of the country in terms of dietary habits. Fermented food was found to be one of the important risk factor for the development of laryngopharyngeal reflux in the sikkimise population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate estimation of fetal weight is of paramount importance in the management of labour and delivery. METHODS This was a cross sectional study conducted over a period of 6 months in a tertiary care teaching hospital. All singleton term mothers with cephalic presentation and intact membranes with ultrasound examination done within a week were included in the study. IUFD, multiple gestation, malpresentation, diagnosed oligohydramnios or polyhydramnios, pelvic and or abdominal masses, and current weight more than 80 Kgs were excluded from the study. Expected fetal weight was estimated by clinical method (Johnson's formula), which was compared with Ultrasound weight estimation (Hadlock method) and actual birth weight. RESULTS The estimated mean birth weight by clinical method was 3492.75±393.16g, by Ultrasound was 3230.02±407.22g and actual mean birth weight was 3236.32±472.87g. The estimated birth weight by ultrasonographic method showed slightly stronger positive correlation (r=0.54; p<0.001) with actual birth weight as compared to the clinical method (r=0.44; p<0.001). The error of estimation of weight by clinical method showed significant negative correlation (r=-0.24; p=0.01) with gestational age, however ultrasonographic method did not show significant correlation (r= +0.045; p=0.64). The sensitivity and specificity of clinical method and ultrasonographic method for identifying fetal birth weight above 3500 gm was 69.23; 65.67% and 46.15; 80.60%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Ultrasound was more reliable method to establish fetal weight at term and more consistent in various period of gestations. Clinical method can be reliably used to screen large babies in centers where ultrasound has limited availability.
