Abstract
Introduction Suprascapular notch is present at superior border of scapula just medial to coracoid process. This is covered by superior transverse scapular ligament (STSL). Suprascapular nerve passes below this ligament while suprascapular vessels pass above it. STSL ossification is a rare finding with variable incidences in different population groups. Materials and Methods We observed 60 dry bony scapulae, 30 prosected formalin fixed upper limbs with scapula and 10 embalmed cadavers for the presence of ossified STSL. Results There were complete ossification of STSL in two dried bony specimens of sacpula. Conclusion Ossified STSL may be the causative factor for suprascapular neuropathy. The mainstay of management in cases of neuropathy or compression of suprascapular nerve is release of suprascapular ligament by either open or arthroscopic surgical approach. So, it is extremely important to know this type of variation to minimize any damage to related structure and plan the management accordingly.

Abstract
Abstract Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most frequent congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Atypical presentations with life threatening complications include intestinal obstruction, intussusceptions, peritonitis, foreign body lodgement in the MD, perforated viscera etc. which require prompt diagnosis. Ectopic gastric and pancreatic tissues are found in up to half of the cases which can escalate the complications. However clinical diagnosis is not easy especially when the presentation is atypical. A high index of clinical suspicion is required to diagnose elusive MD with associated complications. Surgical resection is safe and the gold standard treatment for complicated MD. A case of Meckel's diverticulum with concomitant mesodiverticular band (MDB) in a 13 years old male child presented as intestinal obstruction to emergency department is described which was promptly managed surgically with required pre-operative investigations. The aim of this report is to make clinicians aware about a complicated MD with MDB clinically presenting as small bowel obstruction.

Abstract
An absolute measurement of the Λ_{c}^{+} lifetime is reported using Λ_{c}^{+}→pK^{-}π^{+} decays in events reconstructed from data collected by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy electron-positron collider. The total integrated luminosity of the data sample, which was collected at center-of-mass energies at or near the ϒ(4S) resonance, is 207.2 fb^{-1}. The result, τ(Λ_{c}^{+})=203.20±0.89±0.77 fs, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic, is the most precise measurement to date and is consistent with previous determinations.

Abstract
The dark photon A^{'} and the dark Higgs boson h^{'} are hypothetical particles predicted in many dark sector models. We search for the simultaneous production of A^{'} and h^{'} in the dark Higgsstrahlung process e^{+}e^{-}→A^{'}h^{'} with A^{'}→μ^{+}μ^{-} and h^{'} invisible in electron-positron collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV in data collected by the Belle II experiment in 2019. With an integrated luminosity of 8.34 fb^{-1}, we observe no evidence for signal. We obtain exclusion limits at 90% Bayesian credibility in the range of 1.7-5.0 fb on the cross section and in the range of 1.7×10^{-8}-200×10^{-8} on the effective coupling ϵ^{2}×α_{D} for the A^{'} mass in the range of 4.0 GeV/c^{2}<M_{A^{'}}<9.7 GeV/c^{2} and for the h^{'} mass M_{h^{'}}<M_{A^{'}}, where ϵ is the mixing strength between the standard model and the dark photon and α_{D} is the coupling of the dark photon to the dark Higgs boson. Our limits are the first in this mass range.

Abstract
89SrCl2 radiopharmaceuticals is mainly used for bone pain palliation in the cancer patients, is being produced in FBTR via 89Y(n, p)89Sr using yttria target. The irradiated yttria target is chemically processed in high pure quartz distilled nitric acid medium in hot cell facility, to avoid the corrosion of components of hotcell due to chloride ions while using HCl medium. Being ionic species, the purified 89Sr(II) cation in aqueous solution containing bulk nitrate and other trace anions, exists as SrXn species where X: F-, Cl-, Br-, NO3-, PO43- and SO42-, n: stoichiometric anion content. The aim of the manuscript is to standardise an efficient ultra-low level anion purification method (ppb range) for the conversion of SrXn to SrCl2 and estimate the residual anionic impurities as recommended by the appropriate source specifications for its medical application. Various methods were standardised for the removal of anions in the SrCl2 source produced by the above process which include evaporation, calcination, anion exchange column, cation exchange column as well as its combination with pre-concentration column of ion chromatography (IC) technique using 89Sr tracers as well as FBTR produced 89Sr solution. Assay of 89Sr and other anions including nitrate for the above study were accomplished using Cerenkov counting and ion chromatography respectively. Thus evaporation-calcination-column chromatography mode was finalised to obtain pure SrCl2 source free from nitrate and other anionic impurities. This is the first ever systematic study for the Radiochemical quality control of nca 89SrCl2 radiopharmaceutical produced in a fast reactor. This study also finds its application to any analytical lab as well as industry where there is a requirement of anion purification in the ppb level.

Abstract
AIMS The standard evaluation of older lung cancer or mesothelioma patients for systemic anti-cancer treatment, based on performance status, is inaccurate. We used the G8 questionnaire to assess a patient's fitness for chemotherapy and explored the correlations between G8 scores, treatment decisions and clinical outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 201 older patients (≥70 years) with advanced lung cancer or mesothelioma were prospectively assessed by standard clinical methods and a G8 questionnaire. Treatment decisions before and after reviewing the G8 score were documented. Patients were divided into low (<11), intermediate (11-14) and high (>14) G8 score groups. Patients' characteristics, treatment plans and clinical outcomes among each G8 score group were compared. Similar analyses were compared between good (<2) and poor (≥2) performance status. RESULTS 10.1% of patients' treatment plans changed after oncologists reviewed G8 scores. The G8 score correlated inversely with performance status. More patients with low G8 scores (22.5%) were offered the best supportive care compared with 4.5% in intermediate and 1.9% in high G8 score groups. More patients (30.1%) with low G8 scores had treatment changed from chemotherapy to best supportive care on the planned day of their treatment, compared with intermediate (7.5%) and high (6.1%) G8 score groups. High G8 score patients received higher chemotherapy intensity and survived longer than patients with intermediate or low G8 scores. CONCLUSIONS The G8 score with two cut-off values can predict functional status, chemotherapy tolerability and prognosis in older patients with lung cancer or mesothelioma, thus supporting oncologists on treatment decisions for this population.

Abstract
Funding Acknowledgements
Type of funding sources: None.
Background
Myocardial Bridge (MB) over the coronary artery and myocardial coat (MC) over the cardiac veins are sometimes detected in angiography and cadaveric dissection. Left anterior descending (LAD) branch of left coronary artery is most frequent site of MB. Rarely MB is also seen over right coronary artery (RCA) branch. MB has proven association with ischemic heart disease and other critical cardiac consequences like myocardial infarction (MI)(1)(2). MC on the other hand has not gained enough attention in erstwhile studies. Large MB can be readily identified in angiograms, but minute MB can be picked up by newer imaging studies like multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan(3). Cadaveric dissection however holds its unique place in direct visualization and studying the macro and micro-anatomical characteristics.
Purpose
To study the prevalence and anatomical attributes of MB and MC in cadaveric hearts.
Methods
Ten adult cadaveric hearts (6 male and 4 female) were dissected as part of routine undergraduate teaching during academic year 2021-22. MB over the coronary artery and MC over cardiac vein was identified. Data pertaining to the MB and MC dimensions were measured with digital vernier calliper. Histology of the MC was carried out to confirm its presence and observe the cyto-architecture pattern. Relevant gross macroscopic and microscopic images were photographed and photomicrographed.
Results
20% of the dissected cadavers revealed MB involving LAD in first heart while LAD and RCA both in second heart with length 7.5 mm, 11.5 mm and 1.8 mm respectively. MC was noted over coronary sinus and proximal few millimeters of great and middle cardiac veins. Histological examination revealed cardiac striated muscle in MC with typical cyto-architecture. The mean myocardial muscle index (MMI) of MBs was 1.39.
Conclusions
Present study highlights 20% prevalence of MBs in cadavers involving both right and left coronary artery. 10% of the subjects had histologically confirmed MC over cardiac veins. MC over coronary sinus and other cardiac veins needs more elaborate explorative studies to quantify the anatomic properties and to examine the possible association with cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, anatomic attributes should be kept in mind to better appreciate MI in evolution and MI at evaluation in a case with MB.

Abstract
We present the study of B[over ¯]^{0}→Σ_{c}(2455)^{0,++}π^{±}p[over ¯] decays based on 772×10^{6} BB[over ¯] events collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. The Σ_{c}(2455)^{0,++} candidates are reconstructed via their decay to Λ_{c}^{+}π^{∓} and Λ_{c}^{+} decays to pK^{-}π^{+}, pK_{S}^{0}, and Λπ^{+} final states. The corresponding branching fractions are measured to be B(B[over ¯]^{0}→Σ_{c}(2455)^{0}π^{+}p[over ¯])=(1.09±0.06±0.07)×10^{-4} and B(B[over ¯]^{0}→Σ_{c}(2455)^{++}π^{-}p[over ¯])=(1.84±0.11±0.12)×10^{-4}, which are consistent with the world average values with improved precision. A new structure is found in the M_{Σ_{c}(2455)^{0,++}π^{±}} spectrum with a significance of 4.2σ including systematic uncertainty. The structure is possibly an excited Λ_{c}^{+} and is tentatively named Λ_{c}(2910)^{+}. Its mass and width are measured to be (2913.8±5.6±3.8) MeV/c^{2} and (51.8±20.0±18.8) MeV, respectively. The products of branching fractions for the Λ_{c}(2910)^{+} are measured to be B(B[over ¯]^{0}→Λ_{c}(2910)^{+}p[over ¯])×B(Λ_{c}(2910)^{+}→Σ_{c}(2455)^{0}π^{+})=(9.5±3.6±1.6)×10^{-6} and B(B[over ¯]^{0}→Λ_{c}(2910)^{+}p[over ¯])×B(Λ_{c}(2910)^{+}→Σ_{c}(2455)^{++}π^{-})=(1.24±0.35±0.10)×10^{-5}. Here, the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.

Kumar R, Vaval N. Effect of Protonation and Deprotonation on Electron Transfer Mediated Decay and Interatomic Coulombic Decay. Chemphyschem 2023; 24:e202200340.

Abstract
Electronically excited atoms or molecules in an environment are often subject to interatomic/intermolecular Coulombic decay (ICD) and/or electron transfer mediated decay (ETMD) mechanisms. A few of the numerous variables that can impact these non-radiative decay mechanisms include bond distance, the number of nearby atoms or molecules, and the polarisation effect. In this paper, we have studied the effect of protonation and deprotonation on the ionization potential (IP), double ionization potential (DIP), and lifetime (or decay width) of the temporary bound state in these non-radiative decay processes. We have chosen LiH-NH3 and LiH-H2 O as test systems. The equation of motion coupled cluster singles and doubles method augmented by complex absorbing potential (CAP-EOM-CCSD) has been used in calculating the energetic position of the decaying state and the system's decay rate. Deprotonation of LiH-NH3 /LiH-H2 O either from the metal center (LiH) or from ammonia/water lowers the IP and DIP compared to the neutral systems. In contrast, protonation increases these quantities compared to neutral systems. The protonation closes the inner valence state relaxation channels for ICD/ETMD. For example, the decay of the O-2s/N-2s state stops in protonated systems (LiH2 + -H2 O, LiH2 + -NH3 , and LiH-NH4 + ). Our study also shows that the efficiency, i. e., the rate of ICD/ETMD, can be altered by protonation and deprotonation. It is expected to have implications for chemical and biological systems.

Abstract
Introduction MTHFR being a key regulatory enzyme of 1-carbon metabolism pathway serves critical function of generation of SAM, replenishment of glutathione and nucleotide synthesis and finally methylation of the bio molecules. MTHFR gene mutation is a rare au-tosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism and presents with severe hyperhomocysteinemia. MTHFR polymorphisms on the other hand are commonly encountered of which two 677 C>T and 1298 A>C have been most widely studied and reported to increase the vulnerability to neural tube defects, congenital heart disease, various neuropsychiatric disorders like autism spectrum diseases and attention deficit hyperactiv-ity disease, cleft lip/ palate, acute leukaemia, cardiovascular diseases, occlusive vascular disease in children. Methods We conducted this prospective clinical trial to examine whether yoga practice can up regulate MTHFR gene expression. Considering the prevalence of MTHFR polymorphism, varied spectrum of its implications in disease causation including male infertility, we conducted the trial involving 30 infertile men who underwent 3 weeks of supervised YBLI. Pre and post intervention assessment of the blood and semen sample was done to see the effects. Results We have found more than fivefold up-regulation in the expression of MTHFR gene with significant reduction of seminal free radical levels after 3 weeks of yoga practice. Interestingly we noticed significantly higher MTHFR polymorphic variants in infertile male patients compared to healthy fertile controls. Conclusion MTHFR polymorphisms are also independently associated with many paediatric diseases. Diagnosing MTHFR deficiency in children is a challenging job and requires high index of suspicion and continuous vigilance. Yoga based lifestyle may be adopted both by parents planning conception and also by adolescent children who are sufferers of this condition to halt the consequences of mild to moderate MTHFR deficiency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of digital technologies and the evolution of open innovation approaches have enabled the creation of diverse virtual organizations and enterprises coordinating their activities primarily online. The open innovation platform titled "International Natural Product Sciences Taskforce" (INPST) was established in 2018, to bring together in collaborative environment individuals and organizations interested in natural product scientific research, and to empower their interactions by using digital communication tools. METHODS In this work, we present a general overview of INPST activities and showcase the specific use of Twitter as a powerful networking tool that was used to host a one-week "2021 INPST Twitter Networking Event" (spanning from 31st May 2021 to 6th June 2021) based on the application of the Twitter hashtag #INPST. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION The use of this hashtag during the networking event period was analyzed with Symplur Signals (https://www.symplur.com/), revealing a total of 6,036 tweets, shared by 686 users, which generated a total of 65,004,773 impressions (views of the respective tweets). This networking event's achieved high visibility and participation rate showcases a convincing example of how this social media platform can be used as a highly effective tool to host virtual Twitter-based international biomedical research events.

Abstract
The erector spinae plane block is a versatile regional anaesthesia technique used for a variety of truncal surgeries. A novel variation is the sacral erector spinae plane block which is gaining popularity for perineal and anorectal procedures. Local anaesthetic injected at this level blocks the sacral dermatomes and has the potential for more proximal spread to involve lumbar nerve fibres via spread to the lumbar plexus or the epidural space. The advantage of a sacral erector spinae plane block over a neuraxial block is that it is less invasive and may have a better safety profile: there is a reduced risk of epidural haematoma, epidural abscess, haemodynamic instability and motor weakness of the lower extremities. Until now, this approach has been used for midline surgical procedures when the local anaesthetic was injected bilaterally. Its application for lower limb procedures with a single unilateral injection has not been described. We report the use of a unilateral sacral erector spinae plane block at the level of the S2 median crest in two children undergoing lower limb procedures of the hip and thigh. The block was found to provide effective peri-operative analgesia with minimal need for any opioid analgesics and without any significant adverse effects.

Abstract
Spectroscopy in vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) and visible ranges plays an important role in the investigation and diagnosis of tokamak plasmas. However, under harsh environmental conditions of fusion grade devices, such as ITER, VUV-visible systems encounter many issues due to the degradation of optical components used in such systems. Here, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has become an effective tool in understanding the edge plasma dynamics. Considering its importance, a NIR spectroscopic diagnostic has been developed and installed on the ADITYA-U tokamak. The system consists of a 0.5 m spectrometer having three gratings with different groove densities, and it is coupled with a linear InGaAs photodiode array. Radiation from the ADITYA-U edge plasma has been collected using a collimating lens and optical fiber combination and transported to the spectrometer. The spectrum in the NIR range from the ADITYA-U plasma has been recorded using this system, in which Paβ and Paγ along with many spectral lines from neutral and singly ionized impurities have been observed. The influxes of H and C have been estimated from measurements. The H influx value is found to be 2.8 × 1016 and 1.9 × 1016 particles cm-2 s-1 from neutral hydrogen lines Hα and Paβ, respectively, and the C influx value is found to be 3.5 × 1015 and 2.9 × 1015 particles cm-2 s-1 from the neutral carbon and singly ionized carbon, respectively. A good agreement is seen between these results and the results obtained by using a routine photomultiplier tube based diagnostic.

Abstract
Metabolic reprogramming enables cancer cells to proliferate and produce tumor biomass under a nutrient-deficient microenvironment and the stress of metabolic waste. A cancer cell adeptly undergoes a variety of adaptations in metabolic pathways and differential expression of metabolic enzyme genes. Metabolic adaptation is mainly determined by the physiological demands of the cancer cell of origin and the host tissue. Numerous metabolic regulators that assist cancer cell proliferation include uncontrolled anabolism/catabolism of glucose metabolism, fatty acids, amino acids metabolism, nucleotide metabolism, tumor suppressor genes, microRNAs, and many regulatory enzymes and genes. Using this paradigm, we review the current understanding of metabolic reprogramming in tumors and discuss the new strategies of cancer metabolomics that can be tapped into for cancer therapeutics.
