Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The NI-RADS lexicon doesn't use ADC parameters and T2 weighted signal for ascribing categories. We explored ADC, DWI, and T2WI to examine the diagnostic accuracy in primary sites of postsurgical oral cavity carcinoma in the Neck Imaging Reporting and Data System (NI-RADS) categories 2 and 3. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis in clinically asymptomatic post-surgically treated patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma who underwent contrast-enhanced MRI between January 2013 and January 2016. Histopathology and follow-up imaging were used to ascertain the presence or absence of malignancy in subjects with "new enhancing lesions," which were interpreted according to the NI-RADS lexicon by experienced readers, including NI-RADS 2 and 3 lesions in the primary site. NI-RADS that included T2WI and DWI (referred to as NI-RADS A) and ADC (using the best cutoff from receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, NI-RADS B) was documented in an Excel sheet to up- or downgrade existing classic American College of Radiology NI-RADS and calculate diagnostic accuracy. RESULTS Sixty-one malignant and 23 benign lesions included in the study were assigned American College of Radiology NI-RADS 2 (n = 33) and NI-RADS 3 (n = 51) categories. The recurrence rate was 90% (46/51) for NI-RADS three, 45% (15/33) for NI-RADS 2, and 73% (61/84) overall. T2WI signal morphology was intermediate in 45 subjects (53.5%) and restricted DWI in 54 (64.2%). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of the American College of Radiology NI-RADS were the following: NI-RADS (75.4%, 78.3%, 90.1%, 54.5%, and 76.1%); NI-RADS A (79.1%, 81.2%, 91.9%, 59.1%, and 79.6%); and NI-RADS B (88.9%, 72.7%, 91.4%, 66.7%, and 85.1%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Adding MR imaging diagnostic characteristics like T2WI, DWI, and ADC to the American College of Radiology NI-RADS improved diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity.

Abstract
Perineural invasion has been widely regarded as a poor prognostic factor in cancer of the oral cavity, but adjuvant treatment based only on this is still debatable. We have made an effort to address the question in a retrospective analysis of data from 2009-15 of patients with early node-negative cancers of the oral cavity. Patients with perineural invasion were divided into those who were treated with radiotherapy and those who were not. The records of a total of 169 patients were analysed, and 118 were given adjuvant radiotherapy and 51 were not. The median (range) duration of follow up was 45 (26-86) months. Of 169 patients, 47 (28%) developed recurrence, 28 in the treated, and 19 in the untreated, group. There was a significant disease-free survival benefit for adjuvant treatment (p = 0.047) but no overall survival benefit (p = 0.54). We conclude that adjuvant radiotherapy should be considered for patients with perineural invasion, even in early cancers of the oral cavity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to determine the epidemiology of stroke in a rural population of Bangladesh. STUDY DESIGN In a cross-sectional study, we surveyed stroke patients. METHODS The survey was conducted in a rural community of Bangladesh from January 2016 to June 2016. All community members 15 years and older in a surveillance system were included in this study. The Questionnaire for Verifying Stroke-Free Status was used to screen stroke cases at household level which were again examined by the neurologist for confirmatory diagnosis. RESULTS The prevalence of stroke was 1.96 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.69-2.26) per 1000 population. The highest prevalence was 9.65 (95% CI 7.42-12.33) per 1000 population, identified among patients aged 65-79 years. Males had higher prevalence (2.38 per 1000 population) than females (1.55 per 1000 population). Of the 24% of patients who had radiological examination (magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography scan) reports, 17.2% of stroke cases were ischemic, 4.8% were intracerebral, and about 1.1% were subarachnoid. The ratio of infarction to hemorrhage was 2.91. Approximately 67% of patients were diagnosed as hypertensive, and 37% of patients had elevated blood glucose level. While 15% of patients were found to be overweight or obese, 45% of patients had raised blood cholesterol level. More than 10% of patients reported that they had heart disease before the occurrence of stroke. About 40% of patients had the history of tobacco consumption. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of stroke is higher among elderly and male populations. A significant proportion of patients presented with hypertension and/or diabetes.

Abstract
The current trend of antimony (Sb) unresponsiveness in the Indian subcontinent is a major impediment to effective chemotherapy of visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Although contributory mechanisms studied in laboratory-raised Sb-R parasites include an up-regulation of drug efflux pumps and increased thiols, their role in clinical isolates is not yet substantiated. Accordingly, our objectives were to study the contributory role of thiols in the generation of Sb unresponsiveness in clinical isolates. Promastigotes were isolated from VL patients who were either Sb responsive (n=2) or unresponsive (n=3). Levels of thiols as measured by HPLC and flow cytometry showed higher basal levels of thiols and a faster rate of thiol regeneration in Sb unresponsive strains as compared with sensitive strains. The effects of antimony on generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in normal and thiol-depleted conditions as also their H2O2 scavenging activity indicated that in unresponsive parasites, Sb-mediated ROS generation was curtailed, which could be reversed by depletion of thiols and was accompanied by a higher H2O2 scavenging activity. Higher levels of thiols in Sb-unresponsive field isolates from patients with VL protect parasites from Sb-mediated oxidative stress, thereby contributing to the antimony resistance phenotype.

Abstract
In this study, cDNA microarray analysis of a closely related species, Leishmania major, was used as a screening tool to compare antimonial-resistant and susceptible clinical isolates of Leishmania donovani in order to to identify candidate genes on the basis of antimony resistance. Clinically confirmed resistant isolate 39 and sensitive isolate 2001 were used in this study. Many differentially regulated genes were identified whose expression levels differ in sodium antimony gluconate (SAG)-treated patients. Interestingly, genes on the array, showing changes in expression of over 2-fold revealed the identity of ABC transporters, which are known determinants of drug resistance in laboratory mutants. The functionality of the transporters was validated by flow cytometry which, being biologically informative, provides direct clues to gene function. The results suggest that isolate 39 could have developed resistance by an increased multidrug resistance protein (MRP)-like pump. This study provides preliminary clues to the role of a thiol-dependent efflux system in antimonial resistant clinical isolates of Leishmania donovani.
