Abstract
The present work aimed to develop and evaluate AmB-loaded nano-emulsion (AmB-NE) which will augment the solubility of AmB and lead to enhanced anti-leishmanial activity. The composition of AmB-NE was optimized by systematic screening followed by DoE-extreme vertices mixture design. The optimized NE revealed mean droplet size and PDI of 44.19 ± 5.5 nm, 0.265 ± 0.0723, respectively. The NE could efficiently encapsulate AmB with drug content and efficiency 83.509 ± 0.369% and 81.659 ± 0.013%, respectively. The presence of cholesterol and stearyl amine retarded the release (P < 0.0001) of AmB significantly compared to AmB suspension. The AmB-NE and pure AmB suspension demonstrated the IC50 of 0.06309 μg/mL and 0.3309 μg/mL against L.donovani promastigotes after 48 h incubation. The formulation was robust at all exaggerated stability conditions such as freeze-thaw and centrifugation. These findings indicate that AmB-NE is an attractive approach to treat visceral leishmaniasis with improved activity.

Abstract
Various cancer models have been developed to aid the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of tumor development and evaluate the effectiveness of various anticancer drugs in preclinical studies. These models accurately reproduce the critical stages of tumor initiation and development to mimic the tumor microenvironment better. Using these models for target validation, tumor response evaluation, resistance modeling, and toxicity comprehension can significantly enhance the drug development process. Herein, various in vivo or animal models are presented, typically consisting of several mice and in vitro models ranging in complexity from transwell models to spheroids and CRISPR-Cas9 technologies. While in vitro models have been used for decades and dominate the early stages of drug development, they are still limited primary to simplistic tests based on testing on a single cell type cultivated in Petri dishes. Recent advancements in developing new cancer therapies necessitate the generation of complicated animal models that accurately mimic the tumor's complexity and microenvironment. Mice make effective tumor models as they are affordable, have a short reproductive cycle, exhibit rapid tumor growth, and are simple to manipulate genetically. Human cancer mouse models are crucial to understanding the neoplastic process and basic and clinical research improvements. The following review summarizes different in vitro and in vivo metastasis models, their advantages and disadvantages, and their ability to serve as a model for cancer research.

Abstract
In the last decade, investigators have put significant efforts to develop several diagnostic and therapeutic strategies against cancer. Many novel nanoplatforms, including lipidic, metallic, and inorganic nanocarriers, have shown massive potential at preclinical and clinical stages for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Each of these nano-systems is distinct with its own benefits and limitations. The need to overcome the limitations of single-component nano-systems, improve their morphological and biological features, and achieve multiple functionalities has resulted in the emergence of hybrid nanoparticles (HNPs). These HNPs integrate multicomponent nano-systems with diagnostic and therapeutic functions into a single nano-system serving as promising nanotools for cancer theragnostic applications. Chitosan (CS) being a mucoadhesive, biodegradable, and biocompatible biopolymer, has emerged as an essential element for the development of HNPs offering several advantages over conventional nanoparticles including pH-dependent drug delivery, sustained drug release, and enhanced nanoparticle stability. In addition, the free protonable amino groups in the CS backbone offer flexibility to its structure, making it easy for the modification and functionalization of CS, resulting in better drug targetability and cell uptake. This review discusses in detail the existing different oncology-directed CS-based HNPs including their morphological characteristics, in-vitro/in-vivo outcomes, toxicity concerns, hurdles in clinical translation, and future prospects.

Abstract
Dasatinib (DAS) is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor; however, its efficacy is significantly subsided by its low oral bioavailability. The present research aimed to improve DAS's oral delivery and efficacy in triple-negative breast cancer by fabricating its mucoadhesive lecithin-chitosan hybrid nanoparticles (DAS-L/CS-NPs). DAS-L/CS-NPs were optimized using Box-Behnken design which showed mean particle size and percent entrapment efficiency of 179.7 ± 5.42 nm and 64.65 ± 0.06 %, respectively. DAS-L/CS-NPs demonstrated sustained release profile in different release media up to 48 h and showed 10 times higher apparent permeability coefficient and flux than free DAS suspension. The binding of DAS-L/CS-NPs to the mucus layer was demonstrated via ex-vivo mucoadhesion study and change in absorbance using turbidimetry. In cell culture studies, DAS-L/CS-NPs revealed a 4.14-fold decrease in IC50, significantly higher cellular uptake and mitochondrial membrane depolarization, 3.82-fold increased reactive oxygen species generation and 2.10-fold enhanced apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells than free DAS. In in-vivo pharmacokinetic assessment, DAS-L/CS-NPs showed a 5.08-fold and 3.74-fold rise in AUC (0-t) and Cmax than free DAS suspension, respectively. An acute toxicity study revealed a good safety profile of DAS-L/CS-NPs. In a nutshell, proposed hybrid nanoparticles are promising carriers for improved oral delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs.

Abstract
Drug repurposing is proved to be a groundbreaking concept in the field of cancer research, accelerating the pace of de novo drug discovery by investigating the anti-cancer activity of the already approved drugs. On the other hand, it got highly benefitted from the advancement in the in-silico tools and techniques, which are used to build up the initial "proof of concept" based on the drug-target interaction. Acalabrutinib (ACL) is a well-known drug for the treatment of hematological malignancies. But, the therapeutic ability of ACL against solid tumors is still unexplored. Thereby, the activity of ACL on breast cancer and lung cancer was evaluated utilizing different computational methods. A series of proteins such as VEGFR1, ALK, BCL2, CXCR-4, mTOR, AKT, PI3K, HER-2, and Estrogen receptors were selected based on their involvement in the progression of the breast as well as lung cancer. A multi-level computational study starting from protein-ligand docking to molecular dynamic (MD) simulations were performed to detect the binding potential of ACL towards the selected proteins. Results of the study led to the identification of ACL as a ligand that showed a high docking score and binding energy with HER-2, mTOR, and VEGFR-1 successively. Whereas, the MD simulations study has also shown good docked complex stability of ACL with HER2 and VEGFR1. Our findings suggest that interaction with those receptors can lead to preventive action on both breast and lung cancer, thus it can be concluded that ACL could be a potential molecule for the same purpose.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Dasatinib (DST) is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor with established antiproliferative activity in Triple-negative breast cancer. Conventional treatment strategies with DST have several pitfalls related to the development of resistance, lower cellular uptake and unwanted adverse effects. To address these issues, we have prepared P-selectin-targeted nanoparticles of DST with fucoidan (FUC) as a ligand. Poly lactide-co-glycolide nanoparticles of DST were coated with chitosan (CH) and FUC via electrostatic interaction (DST-CH-FUC-NPs). The mean particle size of 210.36 ± 0.66 nm and a polydispersity index of 0.234 ± 0.013 was observed for DST-CH-FUC-NPs. TEM and FTIR analysis proved CH coating followed by an FUC layer on nanoparticles. DST-CH-FUC-NPs showed a sustained release profile up to 120 h and 2.9 times less hemolytic potential than free DST suspension. DST-CH-FUC-NPs demonstrated 8-fold higher cytotoxicity compared to free DST in MDA-MB-231 cells. Rhodamine-CH-FUC- NPs showed 19 times and 3 times higher cellular uptake than free Rhodamine and Rhodamine-CH-NPs, respectively. DST-CH-FUC-NPs also displayed increased ROS production and mitochondrial membrane potential damage. Apoptosis study revealed a 7.5-fold higher apoptosis index for DST-CH-FUC-NPs than free DST. Subsequently, the DST-CH-FUC-NPs showed increased inhibition of cell migration, where approximately 5 % wound closure was noted. Further, DST-CH-FUC-NPs confirmed higher disruption of lysosomal membrane integrity, which is well correlated with apoptosis results. In addition, developed NPs were nontoxic on MCF 10 A normal cells. All these findings suggest that fabricated DST-CH-FUC-NPs are promising biocompatible carriers for tumor-targeted delivery and enhanced efficacy of dasatinib.

Abstract
A circular shunt is a poor prognostic factor associated with Ebstein's anomaly. Targeting the constriction of the ductus arteriosus (DA) in order to limit or resolve the circular shunt, has been shown to improve fetal outcomes. Prenatal non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been known to constrict the DA. Recently, prenatal NSAIDs have been used for that purpose in the treatment of circular shunt. Limited research shows that it may be an effective treatment leading to improved fetal outcomes. In this article, we did an extensive review of literature to describe this therapy's effectiveness and outcomes. 82% of fetuses were able to achieve ductal constriction with prenatal NSAID therapy. For fetuses who achieved ductal constriction, fetal demise was less likely (6%) when compared to those who were unable to achieve the same (50%). Of all the fetuses with hydrops, 50% had resoluation of hydrops with prenatal NSAID treatment.

Abstract
AIMS Global guidelines recommend that all older patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy should undergo a geriatric assessment. However, utilisation of the geriatric assessment is often constrained by its time-intensive nature, which limits its adoption in settings with limited resources and high demand. There is a lack of evidence correlating the results of the geriatric assessment with survival from the Indian subcontinent. Therefore, the aims of the present study were to assess the impact of the geriatric assessment on survival in older Indian patients with cancer and to identify the factors associated with survival in these older patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was an observational study, conducted in the geriatric oncology clinic of the Tata Memorial Hospital (Mumbai, India). Patients aged 60 years and older with cancer who underwent a geriatric assessment were enrolled. We assessed the non-oncological geriatric domains of function and falls, nutrition, comorbidities, cognition, psychology, social support and medications. Patients exhibiting impairment in two or more domains were classified as frail. RESULTS Between June 2018 and January 2022, we enrolled 897 patients. The median age was 69 (interquartile range 65-73) years. The common malignancies were lung (40.5%), oesophagus (31.9%) and genitourinary (12.1%); 54.6% had metastatic disease. Based on the results of the geriatric assessment, 767 (85.4%) patients were frail. The estimated median overall survival in fit patients was 24.3 (95% confidence interval 18.2-not reached) months, compared with 11.2 (10.1-12.8) months in frail patients (hazard ratio 0.54; 95% confidence interval 0.41-0.72, P < 0.001). This difference in overall survival remained significant after adjusting for age, sex, primary tumour and metastatic status (hazard ratio 0.56; 95% confidence interval 0.41-0.74, P < 0.001). In the patients with a performance status of 0 or 1 (n = 454), 365 (80.4%) were frail; the median overall survival in the performance status 0-1 group was 33.0 months (95% confidence interval 24.31-not reached) in the fit group versus 14.4 months (95% confidence interval 12.25-18.73) in the frail patients (hazard ratio 0.50; 95% confidence interval 0.34-0.74, P = 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, the geriatric assessment domains that were predictive of survival were function (hazard ratio 0.68; 95% confidence interval 0.52-0.88; P = 0.003), nutrition (hazard ratio 0.64; 95% confidence interval 0.48-0.85, P = 0.002) and cognition (hazard ratio 0.67; 95% confidence interval 0.49-0.91, P = 0.011). DISCUSSION The geriatric assessment is a powerful prognostic tool for survival among older Indian patients with cancer. The geriatric assessment is prognostic even in the cohort of patients thought to be the fittest, i.e. performance status 0 and 1. Our study re-emphasises the critical importance of the geriatric assessment in all older patients planned for cancer-directed therapy.

Abstract
Docetaxel (DTX) is a first-line chemotherapeutic molecule with a broad-spectrum anticancer activity. On the other hand, carvacrol (CV) has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cytotoxic, and hepatoprotective properties that could reduce undue toxicity caused by DTX chemotherapy. Thus, in order to overcome the challenges posed by DTX's poor aqueous solubility, low permeability, hepatic first pass, and systemic toxicities, we have developed a novel solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (S-SNEDDS) co-loaded with DTX and CV. In the present investigation, liquid-SNEDDS (L-SNEDDS) were fabricated using Nigella sativa oil, Cremophor RH 40, and Ethanol which was converted into solid by lyophilization using Aerosil 200. The reconstituted CV-DTX-S-SNEDDS showed an average globule size of < 200 nm with promising flow properties (angle of repose θ: 33.22 ± 0.06). Additionally, 2.3-fold higher dissolution of DTX was observed from CV-DTX-S-SNEDDS after 6 h as compared to free DTX. Similar trend was followed in dialysis release experiments with 1.5-fold higher release within 24 h. Ex vivo permeation studies demonstrated significantly increased permeation of 1077.02 ± 12.72 μg/cm2 of CV-DTX-S-SNEDDS after 12 h. In vitro cell cytotoxicity studies revealed 5.2-fold reduction in IC50 as compared to free DTX in MDA-MB-231 cells. Formulation was able to induce higher apoptosis in cells treated with CV-DTX-S-SNEDDS as compared to free DTX and CV. It was evident from toxicity studies that CV-DTX-S-SNEDDS was well tolerated at higher dose where CV was able to manage the toxic effects of free DTX. In vivo pharmacokinetic study showed 3.4-fold increased Cmax and improved oral bioavailability as compared to free DTX. Thus, CV-DTX-S-SNEDDS could be an encouraging option for facilitating DTX oral therapy.

Abstract
Exopolysaccharides are unique polymers generated by living organisms such as algae, fungi and bacteria to protect them from environmental factors. After a fermentative process, these polymers are extracted from the medium culture. Exopolysaccharides have been explored for their anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-tumor, and immunomodulatory effects. Specifically, they have acquired massive attention in novel drug delivery strategies owing to their indispensable properties like biocompatibility, biodegradability, and lack of irritation. Exopolysaccharides such as dextran, alginate, hyaluronic acid, pullulan, xanthan gum, gellan gum, levan, curdlan, cellulose, chitosan, mauran, and schizophyllan exhibited excellent drug carrier properties. Specific exopolysaccharides, such as levan, chitosan, and curdlan, have demonstrated significant antitumor activity. Moreover, chitosan, hyaluronic acid and pullulan can be employed as targeting ligands decorated on nanoplatforms for effective active tumor targeting. This review shields light on the classification, unique characteristics, antitumor activities and nanocarrier properties of exopolysaccharides. In addition, in vitro human cell line experiments and preclinical studies associated with exopolysaccharide-based nanocarriers have also been highlighted.

Abstract
Lung cancer ranks second position among the cancer-related deaths. Osimertinib mesylate (OSM) is a tyrosine-kinase-inhibitor which can effectively treat NSCLC, but still there are certain limitations and side effects which could be circumvented by polymeric nanoparticles approach. Hence, this research was aimed to develop drug-loaded biodegradable poly caprolactone nanoparticles (PCL-NPs) such as OSM-loaded PCL-NPs (PCL-OSM-NPs) and chitosan fabricated OSM-loaded PCL-NPs (CS-PCL-OSM-NPs) to achieve active-targeting of OSM in the cancerous lung tissue. Thus CS-PCL-OSM-NPs enhances the anticancer efficacy due to active targeting nature and thereby reduces off-target side effects of OSM in the NSCLC treatment.Blank PCL-NPs, PCL-OSM-NPs, and CS-PCL-OSM-NPs were prepared by nanoprecipitation method. Optimized blank PCL-NPs, PCL-OSM-NPs, and CS-PCL-OSM-NPs exhibited the mean particle size of 90.2 ± 4.7nm, 167.7 ± 2.9nm, and 233.7 ± 4.8nm respectively. The %EE of PCL-OSM-NPs was found to be 68.4 ± 3.2%. In-vitro drug release study demonstrated sustained release profile of 69.5 ± 5% and 65.7 ± 1.5% for OSM from both the PCL-OSM-NPs and CS-PCL-OSM-NPs respectively. The PCL-OSM-NPs and CS-PCL-OSM-NPs demonstrated the inhibition of 82.2 ± 0.5% and 81.9 ± 0.2% in A549 cancer cells respectively which clearly signified the improved efficacy. Moreover, the PCL-OSM-NPs and CS-PCL-OSM-NPs exhibited significantly less haemolysis than OSM indicating safety of the formulation.These findings indicate that biohaemocompatibe CS-PCL-OSM-NPs is an attractive option to treat NSCLC with enhanced anticancer activity and reduced side effects.

Abstract
Amongst the several nano-drug delivery systems, lipid or polymer-based core-shell nanocapsules (NCs) have garnered much attention of researchers owing to its multidisciplinary properties and wide application. NCs are structured core-shell systems in which the core is an aqueous or oily phase protecting the encapsulated drug from environmental conditions, whereas the shell can be lipidic or polymeric. The core is stabilized by surfactant/lipids/polymers, which control the release of the drug. The presence of a plethora of biocompatible lipids and polymers with the provision of amicable surface modifications makes NCs an ideal choice for precise drug delivery. In the present article, multiple lipidic and polymeric NC (LNCs and PNCs) systems are described with an emphasis on fabrication methods and characterization techniques. Far-reaching applications as a carrier or delivery system are demonstrated for oral, parenteral, nasal, and transdermal routes of administration to enhance the bioavailability of hard-to-formulate drugs and to achieve sustained and targeted delivery. This review provide in depth understanding on core-shell NC's mechanism of absorption, surface modification, size tuning, and toxicity moderation which overshadows the drawbacks of conventional approaches. Additionally, the review shines a spotlight on the current challenges associated with core-shell NCs and applications in the foreseeable future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The bacterial contaminants in the semen are a major concern for most of the semen production laboratories because they adversely affect the semen quality. During sperm cryopreservation, the inclusion of antimicrobials in extenders may help to minimize bacterial growth. However, due to bacterial resistance to commonly used antimicrobials, they cannot fully assure microbiological safety to the frozen semen. OBJECTIVE To estimate the microbial load and antibiogram of microorganisms isolated from the fresh and frozen bull semen. MATERIALS AND METHODS The bacterial load was estimated in fresh and frozen semen samples of crossbred Frieswal bulls by the pour plate method. Microorganisms were identified as Gram positive and Gram negative by Gram staining. The representative bacterial colonies were streaked onto different specific media which were further confirmed by biochemical tests. Bacterial isolates were subjected to in vitro antibiotic sensitivity test. RESULTS The average microbial load of fresh and frozen semen samples was found to be 8397.4 ± 524.3 cfu per mL and 680.9 ± 105.4 cfuper mL, respectively. Microorganisms belonging to Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Proteus, Klebsiella, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Actinomyces, E. coli, Rhodococcus, Neisseria and Micrococcus were identified in the semen samples. The antibiotic sensitivity testing of the bacterial isolates revealed that benzyl penicillin was found to be the least effective against the isolated organisms while gentamicin and spectinomycin were found to be most effective among the antibiotics used. Lincomycin, tylosin and streptomycin showed moderate efficacy against the bacterial isolates. CONCLUSION Gentamicin, tylosin, lincomycin, and spectinomycin (GTLS) antibiotic combination is more effective against bacterial isolates and may be added to semen extender to better control bacterial load and semen quality. doi.org/10.54680/fr22610110512.

Abstract
Hematological malignancy like lymphoma originates in lymph tissues and has a propensity to spread across other organs. Managing such tumors is challenging as conventional strategies like surgery and local treatment are not plausible options and there are high chances of relapse. The advent of novel targeted therapies and antibody-mediated treatments has proven revolutionary in the management of these tumors. Although these therapies have an added advantage of specificity in comparison to the traditional chemotherapy approach, such treatment alternatives suffer from the occurrence of drug resistance and dose-related toxicities. In past decades, nanomedicine has emerged as an excellent surrogate to increase the bioavailability of therapeutic moieties along with a reduction in toxicities of highly cytotoxic drugs. Nanotherapeutics achieve targeted delivery of the therapeutic agents into the malignant cells and also have the ability to carry genes and therapeutic proteins to the desired sites. Furthermore, nanomedicine has an edge in rendering personalized medicine as one type of lymphoma is pathologically different from others. In this review, we have highlighted various applications of nanotechnology-based delivery systems based on lipidic, polymeric and inorganic nanomaterials that address different targets for effectively tackling lymphomas. Moreover, we have discussed recent advances and therapies available exclusively for managing this malignancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The increasing use of nanoparticles (NP) for gender-selected spermatozoa, sperm-enriched semen and novel extenders raises the concern of undesirable effects on fertility and sperm function. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of gold (Au-), silver (Ag-), and titanium dioxide (TiO2-) NPs on the motility and sperm functions in bovine spermatozoa at various stages of cryopreservation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Frieswal (Sahiwal × Holstein Friesian) bull semen ejaculates (N = 24) were challenged with unconjugated and ligand-free Au-, Ag-, and TiO2-NPs. RESULTS At post-dilution (fresh) stage, there was no significant difference observed in progressive motility and viability amongst the control and any nanoparticle-treated groups, though plasma membrane integrity was significantly reduced in nanoparticle-treated groups (p < 0.05). The acrosome intactness was also significantly reduced in the groups of Ag-NP and TiO2 -NP (p < 0.05), while there was no effect observed in the Au-NP group. At post-equilibration stage, a significant reduction in motility, viability, and plasma membrane integrity was observed in all three nanoparticle-treated groups (p < 0.05). There was no difference in intact acrosome between the control and Au-NPs groups; which was significantly higher than the Ag-NP and TiO2 -NP groups (p < 0.05). At post-thaw stage, all NP groups resulted in a significant reduction of motility, viability, acrosome intactness and plasma membrane integrity (p < 0.05). Besides, TiO2-NPs appear to be significant more toxic (p < 0.05) among three NP groups, and Au-NPs appear to be lesser toxic. CONCLUSION Bovine spermatozoa are adversely affected by Au-, Ag- and TiO2 -NPs that may impair sperm motility and other functions. doi.org/10.54680/fr22310110512.

Abstract
Canine adenoviruses (CAVs) are of two types: canine adenovirus type 1 (CAV-1), which causes infectious canine hepatitis, and canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2), which is mainly associated with the respiratory type of disease in dogs. Due to the widespread use of modified live vaccines to control canine adenoviral infections and subsequently reduced disease incidence, CAVs are often neglected by clinicians. Although a number of studies are available about CAV-1 prevalence in India, only meagre information is available about CAV-2. This study reports the CAV-2 infection in a vaccinated dog with neurological and respiratory symptoms which was found negative for other canine pathogens like canine distemper virus and canine parvovirus. The virus was successfully isolated from rectal swab in MDCK cells and characterized by immunofluorescence assay and virus neutralization test. On phylogenetic analysis of partial E3 region, the Indian CAV-2 grouped in a separate clade different from established subgroups. An insertion of "G" nucleotide was reported at nucleotide (nt.) position 1077 in the E3 gene of Indian CAV-2 isolates which led to a frameshift in the coding region of E3 gene thereby imparting additional eleven amino acids to its C-terminal end in comparison to isolates from other parts of the world. This may have an implication on the functional role of E3 protein inside the cell. This study reinforces the unique signature insertion in the E3 gene of Indian CAV-2 and is the second study in the world to report the association of CAV-2 with neurological disease in dogs.

Abstract
The human race is consistently striving for achieving good health and eliminate disease-causing factors. For the last few decades, scientists have been endeavoring to invent and innovate technologies that can substitute the conventional dosage forms and enable targeted and prolonged drug release at a particular site. The novel multi-matrix technology is a type of matrix formulation where the formulation is embraced to have a matrix system with multiple number of matrices. The MMX technology embraces with a combination of outer hydrophilic layer and amphiphilic/lipophilic core layer, within which drug is encapsulated followed by enteric coating for extended/targeted release at the required site. In comparison to conventional oral drug delivery systems and other drug delivery systems, multi-matrix (MMX) technology formulations afford many advantages. Additionally, it attributes for targeting strategy aimed at the colon and offers modified prolonged drug release. Thus, it has emerged rapidly as a potential alternative option in targeted oral drug delivery. However, the development of this MMX technology formulations is a exigent task and also has its own set of limitations. Due to its promising advantages and colon targeting strategy over the other colon targeted drug delivery systems, premier global companies are exploiting its potential. This article review deep insights into the formulation procedures, drug delivery mechanism, advantages, limitations, safety and efficacy studies of various marketed drug formulations of MMX technology including regulatory perspectives and future perspectives.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
TAVI has emerged as an attractive treatment modality based on promising recent trial data. Patients with BAV, a commonly encountered clinical condition have largely been excluded from a majority of trials.
Purpose
Elderly patients with BAV and severe AS are increasingly encountered in clinical practice. This meta-analysis compares clinical outcomes between bicuspid and tricuspid AV patients to address the current knowledge-gap and identify optimal management strategies of these patients.
Methods
A comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane to identify the available observational studies comparing outcomes of TAVI in BAV and TAV patients. Summary effects were calculated using a DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model as odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals for all the clinical endpoints.
Results
16 Observational studies met inclusion criteria, comprising 10,053 patients with BAV and 173,307 patients with TAV that underwent TAVI. No significant differences in 30-day and long-term mortality rates were observed. Patients with BAV had an increased risk of stroke (OR 1.23; 95% CI [1.06–1.44], p=0.007), re-intervention (OR 1.90; 95% CI [1.15–3.15], p=0.01), paravalvular leak (OR 1.42; 95% CI [1.25–1.61], p<0.ehab724.22251), conversion to open surgery (OR 1.93; 95% CI [1.21–3.07], p=0.006), and new pacemaker implantation (1.57; 95% CI (1.06 - 2.33, p=0.02). Adverse event rates are lower with the use of newer generation of valves. No significant difference in major vascular complications, major bleeding, or incidence of AKI was noted.
Conclusions
Complication rates for BAV TAVI are higher, but mortality is similar to TAV TAVI indicating TAVI is an appropriate alternative for intermediate-high risk patients with BAV. A better understanding of valve anatomy, physician expertise, the use of newer-generation valves can help reduce these complications.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Introduction
Conduction abnormalities are frequently encountered after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) performed for severe aortic stenosis, leading to post-procedure permanent pacemaker (PPM) insertion. Although the predictors of- and factors leading to post-TAVR PPM have been studied extensively, its short-term and long-term outcomes have not been established.
Purpose
PPM placement can lead to significant changes in outcomes in post-TAVR patients, which remain unclear. With this analysis, we aim to evaluate the differences between outcomes of patients requiring PPM and those not requiring PPM post-TAVR.
Methods
A comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane to identify relevant trials. Outcomes were compared between the two groups of patients- those requiring post-TAVR PPM and those not requiring post-TAVR PPM. Summary effects were calculated using a DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model as odds ratio (OD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for all the clinical endpoints.
Results
34 studies, including observational and prospective studies, met our inclusion criteria, with a total of 76,402 patients undergoing TAVR and 10,381 requiring post-TAVR PPM. There were no significant differences between 30-days (OR 1.04; 95% CI 0.96–1.13) and 1-year (OR 1.09; 95% CI 0.72–1.03) all-cause mortality rates, and 30-days (OR 0.86; 95% CI 0.72–1.03) and 1-year (OR 0.85; 95% CI 0.70–1.04) cardiovascular deaths among the two groups. Incidence of heart failure was higher in the post-TAVR PPM group at 30 days (OR 1.26; 95% CI 1.05–1.51) but not at 1 year (OR 1.21; 95% CI 0.93–1.57). No significant difference was noted between the two groups in 30-days or 1-year stroke, 30-days or 1-year myocardial infarction, 30-days or 1-year atrial fibrillation, 30-days or 1-year major bleeding, or 30-days and 1-year readmission rate. Other outcomes, including post-procedure aortic regurgitation, major vascular complications, minor bleeding, valve migration, and device success, also did not have any statistically significant difference in the two patient groups (Figure 1). Of all the patients who received post-TAVR PPM, an average of 46.4% and 58.5% patients had >40% ventricular pacing, and 48.9% and 41.4% had <40% ventricular pacing at 1-month, and 1-year follow up respectively.
Conclusions
Although there were no differences in the outcomes between the two groups at 30-days and 1-year follow-ups (except the higher incidence of heart failure at 30 days in the post-TAVR PPM group), long-term follow-up studies would be needed to identify any possible adverse events after one year. Also, a significant number of patients requiring post-TAVR PPM had <40% ventricular pacing at 1-month and even at 1-year intervals, which might suggest adopting an alternate approach of closely monitoring any conduction disturbances and avoiding early PPM implantation in post-TAVR patients, if possible.

Abstract
The current pandemic caused by a novel coronavirus (SARS‐CoV‐2) has underlined the importance of emerging diseases of zoonotic importance. Along with human beings, several species of wild and pet animals have been demonstrated to be infected by SARS‐CoV‐2, both naturally and experimentally. In addition, with constant emergence of new variants, the species susceptibility might further change which warrants intensified screening efforts. India is a vast and second most populated country, with a habitat of a very diverse range of animal species. In this study we place on record of SARS‐CoV‐2 infections in three captive Asiatic lions. Detailed genomic characterization revealed involvement of Delta mutant (Pango lineage B.1.617.2) of SARS‐CoV‐2 at two different locations. Interestingly, no other feline species enclosed in the zoo/park were found infected. The epidemiological and molecular analysis will contribute to the understanding of the emerging mutants of SARS‐CoV‐2 in wild and domestic animals.

Abstract
Renal cystic diseases are a clinically and genetically diverse group of renal diseases that can manifest in utero, infancy, or throughout childhood and adulthood. These diseases may be unilateral or bilateral with a single cyst or multiple cysts, or with increased echogenicity of the renal cortex without macroscopic cysts. Certain cystic renal diseases are life-threatening, with many developing chronic kidney and hepatic disease if not recognized early enough. Therefore, due to the prevalence and life-altering complications of this specific group of diseases in vulnerable populations, it is crucial for clinicians and healthcare providers to have an overall understanding of cystic diseases and how to pre-emptively detect and manage these conditions. In this review, we discuss in detail the epidemiology, genetics and pathophysiology, diagnosis, presentation, and management of numerous genetic and sporadic renal cystic diseases, such as polycystic kidney disease, multicystic dysplastic kidney, and calyceal diverticula, with an emphasis on prenatal care and pregnancy counseling.

Abstract
Abstract
Polypropylene (PP) is one of the fastest growing thermoplastic polymers in the world, second only to polyethylene. This is primarily due to its excellent balance of physical and chemical properties at a lower cost. PP however possesses low melt strength on account of its linear structure and hence is not easily amenable to processing techniques that involve free surface stretching deformations like thermoforming, blow molding and extrusion film casting. One way to enhance the melt strength of PP is to incorporate long chain branches in its molecular architecture. The present study focuses on the impact of rheology of linear and branched PP on their thermoforming characteristics. Two grades each of linear and long chain branched (LCB) PP homopolymer and impact copolymer (ICP) were used. It was observed that the LCB-PP homopolymer and LCB-ICP showed higher flow activation energy, reduced value of loss tangent and nearly equal frequency dependence of storage and loss moduli in shear rheology. Also, a strong strain hardening behavior was displayed in extensional rheology by the LCB grades. Plug assist thermoforming experiments were carried out to assess the effect of long chain branching on surface strain and thickness distribution for axisymmetric cups of two draw ratios. Biaxial surface strain maps of the formed cups were quantified using Grid Strain Analysis (GSA). Thermoformed cups made from LCB-PP homopolymer and LCB-impact copolymer showed lower surface strain and overall higher thickness as compared to cups made from their linear counterparts, which is in accordance with what might be expected from their rheology.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs), predominantly gold (AuNPs), are easily internalised into cells and commonly employed as nanosensors for reporter-based and reporter-free intracellular SERS applications. While AuNPs are generally considered non-toxic to cells, many biological and toxicity studies report that exposure to NPs induces cell stress through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the upregulated transcription of pro-inflammatory genes, which can result in severe genotoxicity and apoptosis. Despite this, the extent to which normal cellular metabolism is affected by AuNP internalisation remains a relative unknown along with the contribution of the uptake itself to the SERS spectra obtained from within so called 'healthy' cells, as indicated by traditional viability tests. This work aims to interrogate the perturbation created by treatment with AuNPs under different conditions and the corresponding effect on the SERS spectra obtained. We characterise the changes induced by varying AuNP concentrations and medium serum compositions using biochemical assays and correlate them to the corresponding intracellular reporter-free SERS spectra. The different serum conditions lead to different extents of nanoparticle internalisation. We observe that changes in SERS spectra are correlated to an increasing amount of internalisation, confirmed qualitatively and quantitatively by confocal imaging and ICP-MS analysis, respectively. We analyse spectra and characterise changes that can be attributed to nanoparticle induced changes. Thus, our study highlights a need for understanding condition-dependent NP-cell interactions and standardisation of nanoparticle treatments in order to establish the validity of intracellular SERS experiments for use in all arising applications.

Abstract
The azimuthal anisotropy coefficient v_{2} of prompt D^{0}, D^{+}, D^{*+}, and D_{s}^{+} mesons was measured in midcentral (30%-50% centrality class) Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV, with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The D mesons were reconstructed via their hadronic decays at midrapidity, |y|<0.8, in the transverse momentum interval 1<p_{T}<24 GeV/c. The measured D-meson v_{2} has similar values as that of charged pions. The D_{s}^{+} v_{2}, measured for the first time, is found to be compatible with that of nonstrange D mesons. The measurements are compared with theoretical calculations of charm-quark transport in a hydrodynamically expanding medium and have the potential to constrain medium parameters.

Abstract
This is a prospective, controlled, randomized clinical study to evidence the role of nitrosative stress in development of overt neurological sign of canine distemper (CD). The enrollment of cases wasa made on basis of overt sign of CD (n=139) and the findings were compared with apparently healthy dogs (n=15). The CD specific immunoglobulins resulted in 94 confirmed positive cases. The nitric oxide (NO) and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) concentration in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (18.08 ± 2.76, 415.84 ± 46.24, respectively) and plasma (32.68 ± 4.31, 321.31 ± 102.30, respectively) were significantly (P<0.05) elevated as compared to healthy control group. The concentration of neuron specific enolase (NSE) in CSF and plasma were also significantly (P<0.05) higher in dogs suffering from CD. The significant differences in other biochemical parameters like total protein, albumin and globulin were found in the CSF of dogs compared with healthy control. The author concludes that NO plays a role in pathophysiology of neurological form of CD and nNOS and NSE estimation in CSF and plasma could help in making early diagnosis of clinical cases.

Abstract
The measurement of two-particle angular correlations is a powerful tool to study jet quenching in a p_{T} region inaccessible by direct jet identification. In these measurements pseudorapidity (Δη) and azimuthal (Δφ) differences are used to extract the shape of the near-side peak formed by particles associated with a higher p_{T} trigger particle (1<p_{T,trig}<8 GeV/c). A combined fit of the near-side peak and long-range correlations is applied to the data allowing the extraction of the centrality evolution of the peak shape in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76 TeV. A significant broadening of the peak in the Δη direction at low p_{T} is found from peripheral to central collisions, which vanishes above 4 GeV/c, while in the Δφ direction the peak is almost independent of centrality. For the 10% most central collisions and 1<p_{T,assoc}<2 GeV/c, 1<p_{T,trig}<3 GeV/c a novel feature is observed: a depletion develops around the center of the peak. The results are compared to pp collisions at the same center of mass energy and ampt model simulations. The comparison to the investigated models suggests that the broadening and the development of the depletion is connected to the strength of radial and longitudinal flow.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stress-induced chronic neuropsychiatric conditions such as anxiety are often co-morbid with gastrointestinal malfunctions. While we find enduring anxiety-like symptoms following minimal traumatic brain injury (MTBI) in rats, gastrointestinal consequences of MTBI remain elusive. METHODS In this study, we examined the effects of MTBI on a major gut peptide, neuropeptide Y (NPY) and gut motility. DNA methylation was studied as a possible epigenetic mechanism operative in the regulation of NPY expression in the gut. KEY RESULTS Minimal traumatic brain injury reduced the gut motility 48 hours and 30 days after trauma. The expression of DNA methyltransferase isoforms (DNMT1, DNMT3a, and DNMT3b) was altered in the jejunum 48 hours and 30 days after MTBI. However, the mRNA levels of growth arrest and DNA damage 45 (GADD45) isoforms, GADD45a, and GADD45b, which are believed to be involved in active DNA demethylation, initially decreased at 48 hours but subsequently increased after 30 days of trauma. Similarly, DNA hypomethylation at the NPY promoter region in the jejunum was correlated with the increase in NPY mRNA and protein levels 30 days post-trauma. On the other hand, DNA hypomethylation at 48 hours was associated with a decline in NPY expression. Treatment with 5-azacytidine (5-AzaC), a DNMT inhibitor, retarded DNA methylation and restored the NPY mRNA levels in the jejunum of MTBI-induced rats. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES These results suggest that DNA demethylation could be operative as an epigenetic mechanism in the long-term regulation of NPY gene expression to alter the gut motility during traumatic stress.
