BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative movement disorder with prodromal and highly prevalent gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, especially constipation. Although PD models suggest gut-brain axis dysfunction, the mechanistic underpinnings and their correlation with GI symptoms are poorly understood. AIM: To examine the bidirectional gut-brain axis function in PD and correlate it with constipation severity, PD duration, and severity. METHODS: Rectal sensory thresholds and afferent cortical evoked potentials (CEP) were assessed using a 4-ring EMG electrode probe...

OBJECTIVES: To compare COVID-19-associated pulmonary mucormycosis (CAPM) with COVID-19-associated rhino-orbital mucormycosis (CAROM), ascertain factors associated with CAPM among patients with COVID-19, and identify factors associated with 12-week mortality in CAPM. METHODS: We performed a retrospective multicenter cohort study. All study participants had COVID-19. We enrolled CAPM, CAROM, and COVID-19 subjects without mucormycosis (controls; age-matched). We collected information on demography, predisposing factors, and details of COVID-19 illness...

Neurodegenerative disorders are a debilitating and persistent threat to the global elderly population, carrying grim outcomes. Their genesis is often multifactorial, with a history of prior exposure to xenobiotics such as pesticides, heavy metals, enviornmental pollutants, ionizing radiation etc,. A holistic molecular insight into their mechanistic induction upon single or combinatorial exposure to different toxicants is still unclear. In the present study, one-month-old C57BL/6 male mice were administered orally with malathion (50 mg/kg body wt...

BACKGROUND: BRAF+MEK inhibitors extend life expectancy of patients with BRAFV600 mutant advanced melanoma. Acquired resistance limits duration of benefit, but preclinical and case studies suggest intermittent dosing could overcome this limitation. INTERIM was a phase 2 trial evaluating an intermittent dosing regimen. METHODS: Patients with BRAFV600 mutant advanced melanoma due to start dabrafenib+trametinib were randomised to receive either continuous (CONT), or intermittent (INT; dabrafenib d1-21, trametinib d1-14 every 28 days) dosing...

INTRODUCTION: Fecal incontinence (FI) is characterized by both irregular and unpredictable bowel symptoms. An accurate history of symptoms is important for diagnosis and guiding management. Whether a patient's history of bowel symptoms is reliable or if there is recall bias is unknown. AIM: To evaluate the accuracy of FI symptoms based on patient's recall compared with a prospective stool diary. METHODS: FI (Rome IV) patients completed a bowel questionnaire that included leakage episodes and stool consistency...

Neurolymphomatosis (NL) is a rare clinical disease where neoplastic cells invade the cranial nerves, roots, plexus, or other peripheral nerves in patients with hematologic malignancy mainly Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma(NHL). Primary NL occurs as the first manifestation of a hematologic malignancy. We report a 68-year male who presented to us with low backache and burning paraesthesia in the back of both lower limbs followed by a left foot drop. The clinical and electrophysiological examination was suggestive of bilateral lumbosacral radiculopathy involving L2-S1 roots...

The first Lancet Oncology Commission on Global Cancer Surgery was published in 2015 and serves as a landmark paper in the field of cancer surgery. The Commission highlighted the burden of cancer and the importance of cancer surgery, while documenting the many inadequacies in the ability to deliver safe, timely, and affordable cancer surgical care. This Commission builds on the first Commission by focusing on solutions and actions to improve access to cancer surgery globally, developed by drawing upon the expertise from cancer surgery leaders across the world...

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Prokinetics have limited effectiveness for treating symptoms of gastroparesis. Thus, alternative or adjunct therapies, such as gastroparesis diets or neuromodulators, are often prescribed. Their therapeutic benefits alone or in combination remain unclear. METHODS: One hundred and twenty-nine patients with symptoms of gastroparesis underwent wireless motility capsule gastric emptying time and gastric emptying scintigraphy. Based on test results, changes in therapy were recommended...

Over 30% of cases may present with acute airway obstruction due to anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC). In such situations, performing an emergency tracheostomy may be mandatory to save the life. A retrospective, single-centre study at our centre was conducted between 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2022. We had included 17 patients with asphyxia due to ATC and subsequently underwent tracheostomy for stridor. The overall survival (OS) ranged from 2 days to 16 months (median = 11 months)...

Introduction: Endothelial dysfunction is the initial step in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis; and it plays a central role in the development of cardiovascular diseases and many types of human diseases (diabetes, kidney failure, cancer, and viral infections). Strategies that are effective in protecting vascular endothelial function and retard or reversing endothelial dysfunction in the early stage appear to be potential in the prevention of vascular, cardiac, and many human diseases. Several studies have been carried out on the effects of yoga on endothelial function, but the results of these studies have not been synthesized...

Pantothenate kinase associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) is characterized by a motor disorder with combinations of dystonia, parkinsonism and spasticity, leading to premature death. PKAN is caused by mutations in the PANK2 gene that result in loss or reduction of PANK2 protein function. PANK2 is one of three kinases that initiate and regulate coenzyme A biosynthesis from vitamin B5 and the ability of BBP-671, an allosteric activator of pantothenate kinases, to enter the brain and elevate coenzyme A was investigated...

SARS-CoV-2, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2, causes coronavirus disease- 2019 (COVID-19). Mostly, COVID-19 causes respiratory symptoms that can resemble those of a cold, the flu, or pneumonia. COVID-19 may harm more than just lungs and respiratory systems. It may also have an impact on other parts of the body and debilitating effects on humans, necessitating the development of vaccines at an unprecedented rate in order to protect humans from infections. In response to SARS-CoV-2 infection, mRNA, viral vector-based carrier and inactivated virus-based vaccines, as well as subunit vaccines, have recently been developed...

Gallic acid (GA) is a natural polyhydroxyphenolic compound with antioxidant, antimutagenic, anti-inflammatory, and antineoplastic activities. Cisplatin (CPT) is a platinum-based chemotherapeutic drug, and it is the treatment of choice for breast, ovarian, testicular, head, and neck cancers. However, the use of anticancer drugs has undesirable effects on patients due to associated toxicities. Thus, it is necessary to search for alternatives that reduce unintended side effects and enhance anticancer potential...

Background Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are the most common type of septal defects in early infants and are very complicated. This has paved the way for the development of new minimally invasive procedures for interventional cardiologists. This study presents our experience using duct occluders instead of conventional ventricular septal devices in the Department of Cardiology at Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital (AVBRH) in central rural India. This study aimed to review success and complications and assess safety and its relation to age, sex, size of the VSDs, type of VSD, and types of devices used after transcatheter closure of perimembranous and muscular VSDs using various types of duct occluders...
