Abstract
Virtual screening (VS) is an integral and ever-evolving domain of drug discovery framework. The VS is traditionally classified into ligand-based (LB) and structure-based (SB) approaches. Machine intelligence or artificial intelligence has wide applications in the drug discovery domain to reduce time and resource consumption. In combination with machine intelligence algorithms, VS has emerged into revolutionarily progressive technology that learns within robust decision orders for data curation and hit molecule screening from large VS libraries in minutes or hours. The exponential growth of chemical and biological data has evolved as "big-data" in the public domain demands modern and advanced machine intelligence-driven VS approaches to screen hit molecules from ultra-large VS libraries. VS has evolved from an individual approach (LB and SB) to integrated LB and SB techniques to explore various ligand and target protein aspects for the enhanced rate of appropriate hit molecule prediction. Current trends demand advanced and intelligent solutions to handle enormous data in drug discovery domain for screening and optimizing hits or lead with fewer or no false positive hits. Following the big-data drift and tremendous growth in computational architecture, we presented this review. Here, the article categorized and emphasized individual VS techniques, detailed literature presented for machine learning implementation, modern machine intelligence approaches, and limitations and deliberated the future prospects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Globally, eclampsia is the leading cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVE The present community-based study was conducted among rural tribal women of reproductive age in remote villages of central India to determine their awareness of eclampsia and its likely impact. METHODS This cross-sectional analytic study included randomly selected 4500 tribal women, between 15 and 45 years of age, residing in 140 villages in the proximity of one village with a health facility (study center), and who were willing to undergo a personal interview. In-depth face-to-face interviews (each lasting 15-30 min) of study subjects regarding awareness, knowledge, practices, and perceptions about eclampsia were conducted using a predesigned tool completed by research assistants (not the subjects). RESULTS Of the 4500 women interviewed, the majority (62.4%) were 20-29 years old, minimally educated (40.6%), laborers (41.3%), and of a low socioeconomic class (40.8%). Of all the participants, only 35.9% were aware of eclampsia, associated events during pregnancy, labor, and the immediate post-delivery period; 81.7% of those who were aware understood about symptoms and signs like headache, blurring of vision, dizziness, swelling over the body, ad high blood pressure. Of all the women who knew about eclampsia, 73.9% were aware that the occurrence of convulsions during antenatal and postnatal periods was an emergency and required urgent management, whereas 88.4% were not aware that severe convulsions affected maternal and neonatal health seriously, only 38.2% knew that eclampsia was a preventable condition. CONCLUSION There was lack of awareness about eclampsia in many women and, of those who knew, some were not aware that it was dangerous. There is a need for awareness among women and their families of the disorder, its impact, and what action is needed in case it occurs.

Abstract
The persistent challenges posed by pollution and climate change are significant factors disrupting ecosystems, particularly aquatic environments. Numerous contaminants found in aquatic systems, such as ammonia and metal toxicity, play a crucial role in adversely affecting aquaculture production. Against this backdrop, fish feed was developed using quinoa husk (the byproduct of quinoa) as a substitute for fish meal. Six isonitrogenous diets (30%) and isocaloric diets were formulated by replacing fish meal with quinoa husk at varying percentages: 0% quinoa (control), 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35%. An experiment was conducted to explore the potential of quinoa husk in replacing fish meal and assess its ability to mitigate ammonia and arsenic toxicity as well as high-temperature stress in Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. The formulated feed was also examined for gene regulation related to antioxidative status, immunity, stress proteins, growth regulation, and stress markers. The gene regulation of sod, cat, and gpx in the liver was notably upregulated under concurrent exposure to ammonia, arsenic, and high-temperature (NH3 + As + T) stress. However, quinoa husk at 25% downregulated sod, cat, and gpx expression compared to the control group. Furthermore, genes associated with stress proteins HSP70 and DNA damage-inducible protein (DDIP) were significantly upregulated in response to stressors (NH3 + As + T), but quinoa husk at 25% considerably downregulated HSP70 and DDIP to mitigate the impact of stressors. Growth-responsive genes such as myostatin (MYST) and somatostatin (SMT) were remarkably downregulated, whereas growth hormone receptor (GHR1 and GHRβ), insulin-like growth factors (IGF1X, IGF2X), and growth hormone gene were significantly upregulated with quinoa husk at 25%. The gene expression of apoptosis (Caspase 3a and Caspase 3b) and nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) were also noticeably downregulated with quinoa husk (25%) reared under stressful conditions. Immune-related gene expression, including immunoglobulin (Ig), toll-like receptor (TLR), tumor necrosis factor (TNFα), and interleukin (IL), strengthened fish immunity with quinoa husk feed. The results revealed that replacing 25% of fish meal with quinoa husk could improve the gene regulation of P. hypophthalmus involved in mitigating ammonia, arsenic, and high-temperature stress in fish.

Abstract
Background Itolizumab downregulates the synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines and adhesion molecules by inhibiting CD6 leading to lower levels of interferon-γ, interleukin-6, and tumor necrotic factor-α and reduced T-cell infiltration at inflammatory sites. This study aims to compare the effects of tocilizumab and itolizumab in the management of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods The study population was adults (>18 years) with severe COVID-19 pneumonia admitted to the intensive care unit receiving either tocilizumab or itolizumab during their stay. The primary outcome was clinical improvement (CI), defined as a two-point reduction on a seven-point ordinal scale in the status of the patient from initiating the drug or live discharge. The secondary outcomes were time until CI, improvement in PO2/FiO2 ratio, best PO2/FiO2 ratio, need for mechanical ventilation after administration of study drugs, time to discharge, and survival days. Results Of the 126 patients included in the study, 92 received tocilizumab and 34 received itolizumab. CI was seen in 46.7% and 61.7% of the patients in the tocilizumab and itolizumab groups, respectively and was not statistically significant (P=0.134). The PO2/FiO2 ratio was significantly better with itolizumab compared to tocilizumab (median [interquartile range]: 315 [200-380] vs. 250 [150-350], P=0.043). The incidence of serious adverse events due to the study drugs was significantly higher with itolizumab compared to tocilizumab (14.7% vs. 3.3%, P=0.032). Conclusions The CI with itolizumab is similar to tocilizumab. Better oxygenation can be achieved with itolizumab and it can be a substitute for tocilizumab in managing severe COVID-19.

Abstract
Data related to psychiatric manifestations in subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is currently available only in the form of isolated case reports. In this systematic review, we evaluated the spectrum of psychiatric manifestations and their impact on the course and outcome of SSPE. Data were obtained from 4 databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar), with the most recent search conducted on March 27, 2023. The PRISMA guidelines were followed, and the PROSPERO registration number for the protocol is CRD42023408227. SSPE was diagnosed using Dyken's criteria. Extracted data were recorded in an Excel spreadsheet. To evaluate the quality of the data, the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tool was employed. Our search resulted in 30 published reports of 32 patients. The mean age was 17.9 years. Schizophrenia, catatonia, and poorly characterized psychotic illnesses were the 3 most common psychiatric presentations that were seen in 63% (20/32) of cases. Catatonia was seen in 4 patients. Affective disorders, mania, and depression were reported among 22% (7/32) cases. In approximately 81% (26/32) cases, the course of SSPE was acute fulminant. Treatment with antipsychotic drugs had poor or no response. Out of 17 patients, who received antipsychotic drugs, 6 patients noted severe extrapyramidal adverse effects. SSPE often masquerades as a psychiatric disorder. Unresponsive psychiatric symptoms, early extrapyramidal signs, and progressive encephalopathy indicate SSPE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Burns constitute a major global health challenge, causing over 11 million injuries and 300,000 deaths annually and surpassing the economic burden of cervical cancer and HIV combined. Despite this, patient-level financial consequences of burn injuries remain poorly quantified, with a significant gap in data from low- and middle-income countries. In this study, we evaluate financial toxicity in burn patients. METHODS A prospective, multicenter cohort study was conducted across two tertiary care hospitals in India, assessing 123 adult surgical in-patients undergoing operative interventions for burn injuries. Patient sociodemographic, clinical, and financial data were collected through surveys and electronic records during hospitalization and at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Out-of-pocket costs (OOPCs) for surgical burn treatment were evaluated during hospitalization. Longitudinal changes in income, employment status, and affordability of basic subsistence needs were assessed at the 1-, 3-, and 6-month postoperative time point. Degree of financial toxicity was calculated using a combination of the metrics catastrophic health expenditure and financial hardship. Development of financial toxicity was compared by sociodemographic and clinical characteristics using logistic regression models. RESULTS Of the cohort, 60% experienced financial toxicity. Median OOPCs was US$555.32 with the majority of OOPCs stemming from direct nonmedical costs (US$318.45). Cost of initial hospitalization exceeded monthly annual income by 80%. Following surgical burn care, income decreased by US$318.18 within 6 months, accompanied by a 53% increase in unemployment rates. At least 40% of the cohort consistently reported inability to afford basic subsistence needs within the 6-month perioperative period. Significant predictors of developing financial toxicity included male gender (odds ratio, 4.17; 95% confidence interval, 1.25-14.29; P = 0.02) and hospital stays exceeding 20 days (odds ratio, 11.17; 95% confidence interval, 2.11-59.22; P ≤ 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Surgical treatment for burn injuries is associated with substantial financial toxicity. National and local policies must expand their scope beyond direct medical costs to address direct nonmedical and indirect costs. These include burn care insurance, teleconsultation follow-ups, hospital-affiliated subsidized lodging, and resources for occupational support and rehabilitation. These measures are crucial to alleviate the financial burden of burn care, particularly during the perioperative period.

Abstract
Cancer accounts for the majority of deaths worldwide, and the increasing incidence of breast cancer is a matter of grave concern. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) has emerged as an attractive target for the treatment of breast cancer as it has an important role in DNA repair. The focus of the study was to identify novel PARP-1 inhibitors using a blend of tandem structure-based screening (Docking and e-pharmacophore-based screening) and artificial intelligence (deep learning)-based de novo approaches. The scrutiny of compounds having good binding characteristics for PARP-1 was carried out using a tandem mode of screening along with parameters such as binding energy and ADME analysis. The efforts afforded compound Vab1 (PubChem ID 129142036), which was chosen as a seed for obtaining novel compounds through a trained artificial intelligence (AI)-based model. Resultant compounds were assessed for PARP-1 inhibition; binding affinity prediction and interaction pattern analysis were carried out using the extra precision (XP) mode of docking. Two best hits, Vab1-b and Vab1-g, exhibiting good dock scores and suitable interactions, were subjected to 100 nanoseconds (ns) of molecular dynamics simulation in the active site of PARP-1 and compared with the reference Protein-Ligand Complex. The stable nature of PARP-1 upon binding to these compounds was revealed through MD simulation.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Disseminated cysticercosis is defined by multiple brain lesions and involvement of other body sites. Cysticidal treatment in disseminated cysticercosis is considered life-threatening. We conducted a systematic review of all published cases and case series to assess the safety and efficacy of cysticidal treatment. We conducted a systematic review in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines (PROSPERO CRD42022331895) to assess the safety and efficacy of cysticidal treatment. Using the search term "disseminated neurocysticercosis OR disseminated cysticercosis," databases like PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched. Outcomes included death and secondary measures like clinical improvement and lesion reduction. We calculated the predictors of primary outcome (death) using the binary logistic regression analysis. We reviewed 222 published cases from 101 publications. Approximately 87% cases were reported from India. Of 222 cases, 134 (60%) received cysticidal treatment. Follow-up information was available from 180 patients, 11 of them died, and 169 showed clinical improvement. The death rate was 4% (5 out of 114) in patients treated with cysticidal drugs plus corticosteroids, in comparison with 13% (5 out of 38) in patients who were treated with corticosteroids alone. All patients using only praziquantel faced fatality. Death predictors identified were altered sensorium and lack of treatment with albendazole. We noted that the risk of death after cysticidal treatment is not as we expected, and a multicentric randomized controlled trial is needed to resolve this issue.

Abstract
Chickpea, being an important grain legume crop, is often confronted with the adverse effects of high temperatures at the reproductive stage of crop growth, drastically affecting yield and overall productivity. The current study deals with an extensive evaluation of chickpea genotypes, focusing on the traits associated with yield and their response to heat stress. Notably, we observed significant variations for these traits under both normal and high-temperature conditions, forming a robust basis for genetic research and breeding initiatives. Furthermore, the study revealed that yield-related traits exhibited high heritability, suggesting their potential suitability for marker-assisted selection. We carried out single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping using the genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) method for a genome-wide association study (GWAS). Overall, 27 marker-trait associations (MTAs) linked to yield-related traits, among which we identified five common MTAs displaying pleiotropic effects after applying a stringent Bonferroni-corrected p-value threshold of <0.05 [-log10(p) > 4.95] using the BLINK (Bayesian-information and linkage-disequilibrium iteratively nested keyway) model. Through an in-depth in silico analysis of these markers against the CDC Frontier v1 reference genome, we discovered that the majority of the SNPs were located at or in proximity to gene-coding regions. We further explored candidate genes situated near these MTAs, shedding light on the molecular mechanisms governing heat stress tolerance and yield enhancement in chickpeas such as indole-3-acetic acid-amido synthetase GH3.1 with GH3 auxin-responsive promoter and pentatricopeptide repeat-containing protein, etc. The harvest index (HI) trait was associated with marker Ca3:37444451 encoding aspartic proteinase ortholog sequence of Oryza sativa subsp. japonica and Medicago truncatula, which is known for contributing to heat stress tolerance. These identified MTAs and associated candidate genes may serve as valuable assets for breeding programs dedicated to tailoring chickpea varieties resilient to heat stress and climate change.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a hematological malignancy characterized by the neoplastic transformation of hematopoietic stem cells, driven by the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome resulting from a translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22. This Ph chromosome harbors the breakpoint cluster region (BCR) and the Abelson (ABL) oncogene (BCR-ABL1) which have a constitutive tyrosine kinase activity. However, the tyrosine kinase activity of BCR-ABL1 have been identified as a key player in CML initiation and maintenance through c-Abl kinase. Despite advancements in tyrosine kinase inhibitors, challenges such as efficacy, safety concerns, and recurring drug resistance persist. This study aims to discover potential c-Abl kinase inhibitors from plant compounds with anti-leukemic properties, employing drug-likeness assessment, molecular docking, in silico pharmacokinetics (ADMET) screening, density function theory (DFT), and molecular dynamics simulations (MDS). Out of 58 screened compounds for drug-likeness, 44 were docked against c-Abl kinase. The top hit compound (isovitexin) and nilotinib (control drug) were subjected to rigorous analyses, including ADMET profiling, DFT evaluation, and MDS for 100 ns. Isovitexin demonstrated a notable binding affinity (-15.492 kcal/mol), closely comparable to nilotinib (-16.826 kcal/mol), showcasing a similar binding pose and superior structural stability and reactivity. While these findings suggest isovitexin as a potential c-Abl kinase inhibitor, further validation through urgent in vitro and in vivo experiments is imperative. This research holds promise for providing an alternative avenue to address existing CML treatment and management challenges.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Measles inclusion-body encephalitis (MIBE) is rare, with insights largely from case studies. We systematically analyzed subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE) cases in immunocompromised patients, identifying distinctive clinical and neuroimaging features. These findings could facilitate MIBE diagnosis without the need for brain biopsies. Our systematic review on MIBE and HIV-related SSPE adhered to PRISMA guidelines and was registered with PROSPERO. We searched multiple databases and followed a detailed inclusion process with independent reviews and quality assessment. Data on patient demographics, clinical features, and outcomes were compiled. A review of 39 studies on 49 MIBE patients and 8 reports on HIV-positive SSPE patients was conducted. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, HIV, organ transplants, and malignancies were common precursors to MIBE. Perinatal HIV was prevalent among SSPE cases. Seizures were the primary symptom in MIBE, often drug-resistant and progressing to status epilepticus or epilepsia partialis continua, whereas periodic myoclonus was universal in SSPE. Neuroimaging showed distinct patterns for each group, and histopathology confirmed measles virus presence in 39% of MIBE cases. MIBE patients typically progressed to coma and death. In conclusion, MIBE and SSPE in HIV-infected patients present with distinct clinical pictures but identical brain pathological abnormalities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to establish the association between glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in non-hypertensive patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and determine the cut-off value of HbA1c for detecting LVDD. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING This study was conducted in General Medicine Department in collaboration with the Cardiology Department at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna. PARTICIPANTS The study population comprised patients with newly diagnosed type 2 DM within the past 3 months, aged between 18 years and 80 years, who were not hypertensive and without any systemic diseases and who presented to the General Medicine Department. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES The presence of LVDD was the primary outcome measure. RESULTS Among the total of 60 participants, it was observed that age (adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 1.169, 95% CI: 1.066 to 1.283) and HbA1c (AOR: 2.625, 95% CI: 1.264 to 5.450) were found to be independent predictors for the presence of LVDD. Receiver operating characteristic analysis identified a cut-off value of HbA1c at 9.5% (80 mmol/mol) for detecting LVDD, with a specificity of 96.43%, a sensitivity of 37.5% and a positive predictive value (PPV) of 91.62%. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that age and HbA1c levels are independent predictors of LVDD in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 DM without hypertension. A cut-off value of 9.5% for HbA1c was identified with a high specificity and PPV for predicting LVDD in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. This underscores the importance of conducting echocardiography in patients with newly diagnosed asymptomatic type 2 diabetes with HbA1c 9.5% or more to assess LVDD, allowing for prompt interventions if necessary and to decelerate the progression towards heart failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the neuroimaging abnormalities and their progression in patients with Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) and identify clinical predictors of these imaging findings. METHODS This prospective observational study evaluated clinical and neuroimaging features in patients with SSPE. Patients were categorized using Dyken's criteria, Jabbour's staging system, and the definition of fulminant SSPE. They underwent comprehensive clinical assessments, cerebrospinal fluid examination, Electroencephalogram (EEG), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans. Treatment involved intrathecal interferon‑α and antiepileptic medications. Functional disability was assessed using the modified Barthel index. Follow-ups were performed at 6 months, including reassessment of Modified Barthel Index (MBI) and Jabbour's staging and EEG and MRI scans. RESULTS The mean age was 13.9 ± 6.7 years, with males comprising 81.5% (44/54) of the cohort. Fulminant SSPE was noted in 33% (18/54) of cases. Disease duration before presentation varied significantly between fulminant and non-fulminant forms (p = 0.001). Neuroimaging abnormalities were more prevalent in JS III stage patients, with diffuse cerebral atrophy being a significant finding (p = 0.011). Basal ganglia involvement correlated with movement disorders. The 6‑month follow-up showed increased cerebral atrophy (p = 0.004). Increasing disease duration was an independent predictor of cerebral atrophy. An Intercomplex interval (ICI) of more than 10 minutes correlated with normal neuroimaging, 10 patients died within the study period, 8 of whom had fulminant SSPE. CONCLUSION Parieto-occipital White matter hyperintensity (WMH) is the most prevalent and sensitive neuroimaging finding for the diagnosis of SSPE. Despite interferon treatment, cerebral atrophy progressed in both aggressive and fulminant SSPE. Increasing disease duration is an independent predictor of cerebral atrophy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This systematic review aimed to investigate central nervous system (CNS) involvement in leprosy by analysing multiple cohort studies, individual cases and case series. METHODS The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were followed. PubMed, Scopus and Embase databases were searched up to 8 July 2023, using a predefined search strategy. Inclusion criteria included patients diagnosed with leprosy with evidence of CNS involvement. The quality of the included cases was evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist. RESULTS A total of 34 records were identified, including 18 cohort studies and 16 reports describing 27 isolated cases. Autopsies revealed macroscopic changes in the spinal cord, neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques. Mycobacterium leprae was detected in neurons of the medulla oblongata and spinal cord using PCR and phenolic glycolipid 1 staining. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis showed inflammatory changes, increased gamma globulins and detection of Mycobacterium leprae antigens and antibodies. In 21 patients (78%), spinal cord/brachial plexus abnormities were detected. In the majority, MRI revealed T2/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) hyperintensity in the cervical cord. In patients with brainstem involvement, T2/FLAIR hyperintensity was noted in the cerebellar peduncles, facial nerve nuclei and/or other cranial nerve nuclei. Brain parenchymal involvement was noted in three patients. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review provides evidence of CNS involvement in leprosy, based on autopsy findings, neuroimaging, CSF analysis and neurophysiological studies.

Abstract
The current study focused on assessing the toxicological effects of copper (Cu) and copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) in acute condition on Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. The median lethal concentration (LC50 ) for Cu and Cu-NPs were determined as 8.04 and 3.85 mg L-1 , respectively. For the subsequent definitive test, varying concentrations were selected: 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, and 9.0 mg L-1 for Cu, and 3.0, 3.3, 3.6, 3.9, and 4.2 mg L-1 for Cu-NPs. To encompass these concentration levels and assess their toxic effects, biomarkers associated with toxicological studies like oxidative stress, neurotransmission, and cellular metabolism were measured in the liver, kidney, and gill tissues. Notably, during the acute test, the activities of catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione-s-transferase, glutathione peroxidase, and lipid peroxide in the liver, gill, and kidney tissues were significantly increased due to exposure to Cu and Cu-NPs. Similarly, acetylcholinesterase activity in the brain was notably inhibited in the presence of Cu and Cu-NPs when compared to the control group. Cellular metabolic stress was greatly influenced by the exposure to Cu and Cu-NPs, evident from the considerable elevation of cortisol, HSP 70, and blood glucose levels in the treated groups. Furthermore, integrated biomarker response, genotoxicity, DNA damage in gill tissue, karyotyping in kidney tissue, and histopathology in gill and liver were investigated, revealing tissue damage attributed to exposure to Cu and Cu-NPs. In conclusion, this study determined that elevated concentrations of essential trace elements, namely Cu and Cu-NPs, induce toxicity and disrupt cellular metabolic activities in fish.

Abstract
Gram-negative bacterial infections are difficult to manage as many antibiotics are ineffective owing to the presence of impermeable bacterial membranes. Polymicrobial infections pose a serious threat due to the inadequate efficacy of available antibiotics, thereby necessitating the administration of antibiotics at higher doses. Antibiotic adjuvants have emerged as a boon as they can augment the therapeutic potential of available antibiotics. However, the toxicity profile of antibiotic adjuvants is a major hurdle in clinical translation. Here, we report the design, synthesis, and biological activities of xanthone-derived molecules as potential antibiotic adjuvants. Our SAR studies witnessed that the p-dimethylamino pyridine-derivative of xanthone (X8) enhances the efficacy of neomycin (NEO) against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and causes a synergistic antimicrobial effect without any toxicity against mammalian cells. Biochemical studies suggest that the combination of X8 and NEO, apart from inhibiting protein synthesis, enhances the membrane permeability by binding to lipopolysaccharide. Notably, the combination of X8 and NEO can disrupt the monomicrobial and polymicrobial biofilms and show promising therapeutic potential against a murine wound infection model. Collectively, our results unveil the combination of X8 and NEO as a suitable adjuvant therapy for the inhibition of the Gram-negative bacterial infections.

Abstract
The goal of this investigation is to improve the topical delivery of medicine by preparing and maximizing the potential of a nanotransferosome gel infused with Solanum xanthocarpum methanolic extract (SXE) to provide localized and regulated distribution. Thin-film hydration was used to create SXE-infused nanotransferosomes (SXE-NTFs), and a Box-Behnken design was used to improve them. Phospholipon 90G (X1), cholesterol (X2) and sodium cholate (X3) were chosen as the independent variables, and their effects on vesicle size (Y1), polydispersity index (PDI) (Y2) and the percentage of entrapment efficiency (EE) (Y3) were observed both individually and in combination. For the SXE-NTFs, the vesicle size was 146.3 nm, the PDI was 0.2594, the EE was 82.24 ± 2.64%, the drug-loading capacity was 8.367 ± 0.07% and the drug release rate was 78.86 ± 5.24%. Comparing the antioxidant activity to conventional ascorbic acid, it was determined to be 83.51 ± 3.27%. Ex vivo permeation tests revealed that the SXE-NTF gel (82.86 ± 2.38%) considerably outperformed the SXE gel (35.28 ± 1.62%) in terms of permeation. In addition, it seemed from the confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) picture of the Wistar rat's skin that the rhodamine-B-loaded SXE-NTF gel had a higher penetration capability than the control. Dermatokinetic studies showed that the SXE-NTF gel had a better retention capability than the SXE gel. According to the experimental results, the SXE-NTF gel is a promising and successful topical delivery formulation.

Abstract
The current investigation explores the mechanisms of ammonia and arsenic toxicity, along with high-temperature stress, which other researchers rarely addressed. Pangasianodon hypophthalmus was exposed to low doses of ammonia and arsenic (1/10th of LC50, 2.0 and 2.68 mg L-1, respectively) and high temperature (34 °C) for 105 days. The following treatments were applied: control (unexposed), arsenic (As), ammonia (NH3), ammonia + arsenic (NH3 + As), ammonia + temperature (NH3 + T), and NH3 + As + T. Cortisol levels significantly increased with exposure to ammonia (NH3), arsenic (As), and high temperature (34 °C) compared to the unexposed group. Heat shock protein (HSP 70), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and metallothionein (MT) gene expressions were notably upregulated by 122-210%, 98-122%, and 64-238%, respectively, compared to the control. Neurotransmitter enzymes (acetylcholine esterase, AChE) were significantly inhibited by NH3 + As + T, followed by other stressor groups. The apoptotic (caspase, Cas 3a and 3b) and detoxifying (cytochrome P450, CYP P450) pathways were substantially affected by the NH3 + As + T group. Immune (total immunoglobulin, Ig; tumor necrosis factor TNFα; and interleukin IL) and growth-related genes (growth hormone, GH; growth hormone regulator, GHR1 and GHRβ; myostatin, MYST and somatostatin, SMT) were noticeably upregulated by NH3 + As + T, followed by other stress groups, compared to the control group. Weight gain %, protein efficiency ratio, feed efficiency ratio, specific growth rate, and other growth attributes were significantly affected by low doses of ammonia, arsenic, and high-temperature stress. Albumin, total protein, globulin, A:G ratio, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were highly affected by the As + NH3 + T group. Blood profiling, including red blood cells (RBC), white blood count (WBC), and hemoglobin (Hb), were also impacted by stressor groups compared to the control group. Genotoxicity, as DNA damage, was significantly higher in groups exposed to NH3 + As + T (89%), NH3 + T (78%), NH3 (73), NH3 + As (71), and As (68%). The bioaccumulation of arsenic was substantially higher in liver and kidney tissues. The present study contributes to understanding the toxicity mechanisms of ammonia and arsenic, as well as high-temperature stress, through different gene expressions, biochemical attributes, genotoxicity, immunological status, and growth performance of P. hypophthalmus.

Abstract
Pollution and climate change pose significant threats to aquatic ecosystems, with adverse impacts on aquatic animals, including fish. Climate change increases the toxicity of metal in aquatic ecosystems. To understand the severity of metal pollution and climate change, an experiment was conducted to delineate the mitigation potential of selenium (Se) and selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs) against lead (Pb) and high temperature stress in Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. For the experiment, five isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets were prepared, varying in selenium supplementation as Se at 0, 1, and 2 mg kg-1 diet, and Se-NPs at 1 and 2 mg kg-1 diet. The fish in stressor groups were exposed to Pb (1/20th of LC50 concentration, 4 ppm) and high temperature (34 °C) throughout the experiment. The results demonstrated that dietary supplementation of Se at 1 and 2 mg kg-1 diet, as well as Se-NPs at 1 mg kg-1 diet, significantly reduced (p < 0.01) the levels of lactate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase in both liver and muscle tissues. Additionally, the levels of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in both gill and liver tissues were significantly decreased (p < 0.01) with the inclusion of Se and Se-NPs in the diets. Furthermore, the enzymes glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in gill and liver tissues, fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase in liver and muscle tissues, and acid phosphatase in liver tissue were remarkably reduced (p < 0.01) due to the supplementation of Se and Se-NPs. Moreover, dietary supplementation of Se and Se-NPs significantly enhanced (p < 0.01) the activity of pyruvate kinase, glucokinase, hexokinase, alkaline phosphatase, ATPase, protease, amylase, lipase, and RNA/DNA ratio in the fish. Histopathological examination of gill and liver tissues also indicated that Se and Se-NPs protected against structural damage caused by lead and high-temperature stress. Moreover, the study examined the bioaccumulation of selenium and lead in muscle, water, and diets. The aim of the study revealed that Se and Se-NPs effectively protected the fish from lead toxicity and high-temperature stress, while also improving the function of cellular metabolic enzymes in P. hypophthalmus.

Abstract
In the present study, we explored the capability of manganese nanoparticles (Mn-NPs) to alleviate the toxicity induced by lead (Pb) and ammonia (NH3) toxicity in Oreochromis niloticus (GIFT strain). The experiment followed a completely randomized design, including a control group (Mn-NPs-0 mg kg-1 diet) and groups exposed to Pb and NH3 alongwith Mn-NPs at 2 and 3 mg kg-1. Cortisol levels were significantly elevated in Pb + NH3 group whereas reduced by Mn-NPs diets. Gene expressions of HSP 70, iNOS, CYP 450, and Cas 3a were notably upregulated by Pb + NH3 group and downregulated by Mn-NPs diets. The cellular metabolic enzymes were affected by Pb + NH3 exposure and mitigated by Mn-NPs diets. The liver and kidney exhibited reduced activities of catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione-s-transferase with Mn-NPs diets. Concurrently, immune-related genes such as total immunoglobulin (Ig) and tumor necrosis factor (TNFα) were upregulated in the Mn-NPs-fed groups. Growth performance indicators, including weight gain %, feed conversion ratio, specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio, and relative feed intake were adversely affected by Pb + NH3 stress but improvement with Mn-NPs diets. Genes associated with growth performance, such as growth hormone (GH), growth hormone regulatory (GHR1), and myostatin, exhibited enhancements in response to Mn-NPs diets. Digestive enzymes, including protease and amylase were also enhanced by Mn-NPs diets. Additionally, Mn-NPs diets led to a reduction in the bioaccumulation of lead. This study aims to investigate the role of Mn-NPs in mitigating the effects of lead and ammonia toxicity on fish by examining various biochemical and gene regulatory factors to enhance fish wellbeing.

Abstract
Despite the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination in reducing the severity of the disease, the demand for booster is increasing in vulnerable populations like elderly and immunocompromised individuals especially with each new wave of COVID-19 in different countries. There is limited data on the sustained immunity against COVID-19 in patients with liver cirrhosis. The study was aimed to compare the T cell and humoral immune response after 1 year of ChAdOx1nCoV-19 Vaccine in patients with liver cirrhosis and healthy health care workers (HCW). This was a prospective observational study including 36 HCW, 19 liver cirrhosis patients and 10 unvaccinated individuals. Anti-SARS-CoV-2S antibody, neutralizing antibody and memory T cell subsets were evaluated by ELISA and flow cytometry, respectively, in all three groups after 1 year of initial vaccination. Compared to HCW and unvaccinated individuals, liver cirrhosis patients had significantly depleted T cells, although CD4:CD8 + T cell ratio was normal. Both cirrhotic patients and HCW developed memory T cell subset [effector memory RA (P = 0.141, P < 0.001), effector memory (P < 0.001, P < 0.001), central memory (P < 0.001, P < 0.01), stem cell memory (P = 0.009, P = 0.08) and naïve (P < 0.001, P = 0.02)] compared to unvaccinated unexposed individuals of CD4 + T and CD8 + T, respectively. However, among HCW and cirrhotic group no difference was noted on central memory and stem cell memory cells on T cells. Patients with liver cirrhosis developed comparable memory T cells after vaccination which can evoke sustainable immune response on reinfection. Therefore, additional vaccine doses may not be necessary for cirrhosis patients.

Abstract
It is an urgent needs to address climate change and pollution in aquatic systems using suitable mitigation measures to avoid the aquatic animals' extinction. The vulnerability and extinction of the aquatic animals in the current scenario must be addressed to enhance safe fish food production. Taking into consideration of such issues in fisheries and aquaculture, an experiment was designed to mitigate high temperature (T) and low pH stress, as well as arsenic (As) pollution in fish using copper (Cu) containing diets. In the present investigation, the Cu-containing diets graded with 0, 4, 8, and 12 mg kg-1 were prepared and fed to Pangasianodon hypophthalmus reared under As, low pH, and high-temperature stress. The gene expression was highly affected in terms of the primary, secondary, and tertiary stress response, whereas supplementation of Cu-containing diet mitigates the stress response. Oxidative stress genes such as catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were significantly upregulated by stressors (As, As + T, and As + pH + T). Whereas, heat shock protein (HSP 70), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), metallothionine (MT), caspase 3a (Cas 3a), and cytochrome P450 (CYP 450) were highly upregulated by stressors, while dietary Cu at 8 mg kg-1 diet significantly downregulated these gene expressions. Indeed, the immunity-related genes viz. TNFα, Ig, TLR, and immune-related attributes viz. albumin, globulin, total protein, A:G ratio, blood glucose, NBT, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were also improved with Cu-containing diets. Cu containing diets substantially improved neurotransmitter enzyme (AChE) and vitamin C (Vit C). DNA damage was also reduced with supplementation of Cu at 8 mg kg-1 diet. The growth index viz. final body weight gain (%), specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio, food conversion ratio, relative feed intake, and daily growth index were noticeably enhanced by Cu diets (4 and 8 mg kg-1 diet). The growth-related genes expressions viz. growth hormone (GH), growth hormone regulator 1 (Ghr1), growth hormone regulator β (Ghrβ,) myostatin (MYST), and somatostatin (SMT) supported the growth enhancement with Cu at 8 mg kg-1 diet. The bioaccumulation of As was reduced with Cu-containing diets. The fish were infected with Aeromonas hydrophila at the end of the 105 days experimental trial. Cu at 8 mg kg-1 diet improved immunity, reduced the cumulative mortality, and enhanced the relative percentage survival of the fish. The results revealed that the innovative Cu diets could reduce the extinction of the fish against climate change and pollution era and produce the safest production that is safe to humans for consumption.

Abstract
The ongoing challenges of climate change and pollution are major factors disturbing ecosystems, including aquatic systems. They also have an impact on gene regulation and biochemical changes in aquatic animals, including fish. Understanding the mechanisms of gene regulation and biochemical changes due to climate change and pollution in aquatic animals is a challenging task. However, with this backdrop, the present investigation was conducted to explore the effects of arsenic (As) and ammonia (NH3) toxicity and high-temperature (T) stress on gene regulation and biochemical profiles, mitigated by dietary manganese (Mn) in Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. The fish were exposed to different combinations of As, NH3, and T, and fed with dietary Mn at 4, 8, and 12 mg kg-1 to evaluate the gene expression of immunity, antioxidative status, cytokine, and NfKB signaling pathway genes. HSP 70, cytochrome P450 (CYP 450), metallothionein (MT), DNA damage-inducible protein (DDIP), caspase (CAS), tumor necrosis factor (TNFα), toll-like receptor (TLR), interleukin (IL), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were noticeably highly upregulated by As + NH3 + T stress, whereas Mn diet at 8 mg kg-1 downregulated these genes. Further, total immunoglobulin (Ig), myostatin (MYST), somatostatin (SMT), growth hormone (GH), growth hormone regulator 1 and β, insulin-like growth factors (IGF1X1 and IGF1X2) were significantly upregulated by Mn diets. The biochemical profiles were highly affected by stressors (As + NH3 + T). The bioaccumulation of arsenic in different tissues was also notably reduced by Mn diets. Furthermore, the infectivity of the fish was reduced, and survival against pathogenic bacteria was enhanced by Mn diet at 8 mg kg-1. The results of the present investigation revealed that dietary Mn at 8 mg kg-1 controls gene regulation against multiple stressors (As, NH3, As + NH3, NH3 + T, As + NH3 + T) in fish.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder affecting the central nervous system. Current drugs for AD have limited effectiveness and often come with side effects. Consequently, there is a pressing need to develop new, safe, and more effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease. In this work, two novel benzil-hydrazone compounds, abbreviated 2-ClMHB and 2-ClBHB, were synthesized for the first time by refluxing the benzil with 2-Chloro phenyl hydrazine and they have been tested for their in vitro anti-cholinesterase activities and in silico acetyl and butyryl enzymes inhibition. The resulting products were characterized using UV-Vis and IR spectroscopy, while the single-crystal X-ray diffraction investigation was successful in establishing the structures of these compounds. DFT calculations have been successfully made to correlate the experimental data. According to biological studies, the synthesized hydrazones significantly inhibited both butyrylcholinesterase (2-ClMHB: 20.95 ± 1.29 µM and 2-ClBHB: 31.21 ± 1.50 µM) and acetylcholinesterase (2-ClMHB: 21.80 ± 1.10 µM and 2-ClBHB: 10.38 ± 1.27 µM). Moreover, molecular docking was also employed to locate the molecule with the optimum interaction and stability as well as to explain the experimental findings. The compound's dynamic nature, binding interaction, and protein-ligand stability were investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Analyzing parameters such as RMSD and RMSF indicated that the compound remained stable throughout the 100 ns MD simulation. Finally, the drugs displayed high oral bioavailability, as per projected ADME and pharmacokinetic parameters.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
An insight into the dynamics of soil phosphorus (P) pools with long-term cropping/management practices would help in designing efficient and sustainable management module(s). The study aimed to investigate the long-term impact of diversified rice-based rotations and variable nutrient management practices on the dynamic composition of P pools and their influence on systems' base-crop productivity in an alkaline soil of Indo-Gangetic plain (Fluvisol). Treatments consisted of four rotations [rice-wheat (R-W), rice-wheat-mungbean (R-W-Mb), rice-wheat-rice-chickpea (R-W-R-C), rice-chickpea (R-C)] each with three nutrient treatments [control (CT), integrated nutrient management (INM), sole-chemical fertilizers (CF)]. Notably, R-C exhibited higher levels of bioavailable-P (soluble-P, Ca2-P, labile-Po), particularly in subsurface soil depth (0.2-0.4 m) compared to other rotations. Likewise, the inclusion of chickpea every alternate year (R-W-R-C) resulted in higher Ca2-P (40%), labile-Pi (15%), labile-Po (11%), and moderately labile Po (8%) compared to R-W rotation demonstrating an increased significance of chickpea in maintaining a favorable soil P regime in alkaline soil. Both R-C and R-W-R-C reduced the surface-to-subsurface depth ratio (SSBR) of soluble-P and Ca2-P while increasing the ratio for microbial biomass P. Even with a suboptimal fertilizer-P rate, INM significantly increased soluble-P (4-33%), labile-Po (13-17%), microbial biomass P (10-26%), moderately labile-Po (4-17%) compared to CF and exhibited higher SSBR values. Correlation analysis demonstrated the substantial influence of very-labile carbon, microbial and phosphatase activities on P availability. The treatment-induced changes in labile-P pools significantly influenced rice (base-crop) yields. In conclusion, chickpea-inclusive diversification and INM could be a sustainable approach to enhance P bioavailability and crop productivity in tropical rice soils.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the incidence of seizures and the factors contributing to poor outcomes in patients with tuberculous meningitis (TBM). METHODS In this prospective observational study, 129 patients with TBM were enrolled at the Department of Neurology, King George's Medical University, Uttar Pradesh, India, from April 2021 to April 2023. Detailed clinical history, neurological examinations, baseline laboratory tests, contrast-enhanced Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) were obtained for all patients. Patients received anti-tuberculous therapy and, if necessary, anti-epileptic treatment. Patients were followed for 6 months, with outcomes evaluated using the Modified Rankin Scale (MRS). RESULTS Of the 129 patients, 48 (37.2%) reported seizures. Advanced TBM stage (p = 0.040, OR = 2.50 95% CI:1.02-6.07), cortical involvement (p = .0.013, OR = 2.58 95% CI:1.20-5.51) and spike-wave discharges in the EEG (p = 0.001) were significantly associated with seizure occurrence. After multivariate analysis, only cortical involvement (p = 0.031, OR = 2.34, 95% CI:1.08-5.08) emerged as independent predictor of for seizures. Focal to bilateral seizures (p = 0.008, OR = 9.41, 95% CI: 1.76-74.04), status epilepticus (p = 0.002, OR = 8.00, 95% CI: 1.86-34.32), and rifampicin resistance (p = 0.022, OR = 9.25, 95% CI: 1.43-59.50) were significantly associated with poor outcomes at the 6-month mark. CONCLUSION Seizures were significantly associated with advanced stage of the disease, cortical involvement on neuro-imaging and epileptiform pattern on EEG. Additionally, focal to bilateral seizures and status epilepticus adversely affected the outcome.

Abstract
The co-occurrence of salinisation and alkalisation is quite frequent in problematic soils and poses an immediate threat to food, feed and nutritional security. In the present study, root system architectural traits (RSAs) and ion profiling were evaluated in 21 genotypes of Avena species to understand the effect of salinity-alkalinity stress. The oat genotypes were grown on germination paper and 5-day-old seedlings were transferred to a hydroponic system for up to 30days. These seedlings were subjected to seven treatments: T0 , treatment control (Hoagland solution); T1 , moderate salinity (50mM); T2 , high salinity (100mM); T3 , moderate alkalinity (15mM); T4 , high alkalinity (30mM); T5 , combined moderate salinity-alkalinity (50mM+15mM); and T6 , combined high salinity-alkalinity (100mM and 30mM) by using NaCl+Na2 SO4 (saline) and NaHCO3 +Na2 CO3 (alkaline) salts equivalently. The root traits, such as total root area (TRA), total root length (TRL), total root diameter (TRD), total root volume (TRV), root tips (RT), root segments (RS), root fork (RF) and root biomass (RB) were found to be statistically significant (P + and K+ content analysis in root and shoot tissues revealed the ion homeostasis capacity of different Avena accessions under stress treatments. Principal component analysis (PCA) covered almost 83.0% of genetic variation and revealed that the sharing of TRA, RT, RS and RF traits was significantly high. Biplot analysis showed a highly significant correlation matrix (P <0.01) between the pairs of RT and RS, TRL and RS, and RT and RF. Based on PCA ranking and relative value for stress tolerance, IG-20-1183, IG-20-894, IG-20-718 and IG-20-425 expressed tolerance to salinity (T2), IG-20-425 (alkalinity; T4) and IG-20-1183, IG-20-894 and IG-20-1004 were tolerant to salt-alkali treatment (T6). Multi-trait stability index (MTSI) analysis identified three stable oat genotypes (IG-20-714, IG-20-894 and IG-20-425) under multiple environments and these lines can be used in salinity-alkalinity affected areas after yield trials or as donor lines for combined stresses in future breeding programs.

Abstract
The co-occurrence of salinisation and alkalisation is quite frequent in problematic soils and poses an immediate threat to food, feed and nutritional security. In the present study, root system architectural traits (RSAs) and ion profiling were evaluated in 21 genotypes of Avena species to understand the effect of salinity-alkalinity stress. The oat genotypes were grown on germination paper and 5-day-old seedlings were transferred to a hydroponic system for up to 30days. These seedlings were subjected to seven treatments: T0 , treatment control (Hoagland solution); T1 , moderate salinity (50mM); T2 , high salinity (100mM); T3 , moderate alkalinity (15mM); T4 , high alkalinity (30mM); T5 , combined moderate salinity-alkalinity (50mM+15mM); and T6 , combined high salinity-alkalinity (100mM and 30mM) by using NaCl+Na2 SO4 (saline) and NaHCO3 +Na2 CO3 (alkaline) salts equivalently. The root traits, such as total root area (TRA), total root length (TRL), total root diameter (TRD), total root volume (TRV), root tips (RT), root segments (RS), root fork (RF) and root biomass (RB) were found to be statistically significant (P + and K+ content analysis in root and shoot tissues revealed the ion homeostasis capacity of different Avena accessions under stress treatments. Principal component analysis (PCA) covered almost 83.0% of genetic variation and revealed that the sharing of TRA, RT, RS and RF traits was significantly high. Biplot analysis showed a highly significant correlation matrix (P <0.01) between the pairs of RT and RS, TRL and RS, and RT and RF. Based on PCA ranking and relative value for stress tolerance, IG-20-1183, IG-20-894, IG-20-718 and IG-20-425 expressed tolerance to salinity (T2), IG-20-425 (alkalinity; T4) and IG-20-1183, IG-20-894 and IG-20-1004 were tolerant to salt-alkali treatment (T6). Multi-trait stability index (MTSI) analysis identified three stable oat genotypes (IG-20-714, IG-20-894 and IG-20-425) under multiple environments and these lines can be used in salinity-alkalinity affected areas after yield trials or as donor lines for combined stresses in future breeding programs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anomalous left brachiocephalic vein (ALBCV) is a rare venous anomaly. Double Left brachiocephalic vein is the rarest type of ALBCV anomaly. CASE REPORT Here we report a case of gentleman with post myocardial infarction ventricular tachycardia who underwent ICD implantation, where we could not place the lead initially through left side. CT angiography revealed presence of a duplicated circumaortic left BCV. It's cranial limb coursing normally anterior to arch and compressed at its confluence with RBCV and the caudal limb with a subaortic course draining into the RSVC. We report this first case of double LBCV along with right sided aortic arch and aberrant origin of LSCA arising from Kommerel's diverticulum. CONCLUSION This case highlights that interventional cardiologists should be aware of these venous anomalies for proper planning and implantation of CIED successfully via transvenous approach.

Abstract
Indiscriminate use of anti-microbial agents has resulted in the inception, frequency, and spread of antibiotic resistance among targeted bacterial pathogens and the commensal flora. Mur enzymes, playing a crucial role in cell-wall synthesis, are one of the most appropriate targets for developing novel inhibitors against antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens. In the present study, in-silico high-throughput virtual (HTVS) and Standard-Precision (SP) screening was carried out with 0.3 million compounds from several small-molecule libraries against the E. coli Mur D enzyme (PDB ID 2UUP). The docked complexes were further subjected to extra-precision (XP) docking calculations, and highest Glide-score compound was further subjected to molecular simulation studies. The top six virtual hits (S1-S6) displayed a glide score (G-score) within the range of -9.013 to -7.126 kcal/mol and compound S1 was found to have the highest stable interactions with the Mur D enzyme (2UUP) of E. coli. The stability of compound S1 with the Mur D (2UUP) complex was validated by a 100-ns molecular dynamics simulation. Binding free energy calculation by the MM-GBSA strategy of the S1-2UUP (Mur D) complex established van der Waals, hydrogen bonding, lipophilic, and Coulomb energy terms as significant favorable contributors for ligand binding. The final lead molecules were subjected to ADMET predictions to study their pharmacokinetic properties and displayed promising results, except for certain modifications required to improve QPlogHERG values. So, the compounds screened against the Mur D enzyme can be further studied as preparatory points for in-vivo studies to develop potential drugs. HIGHLIGHTSE.coli is a common cause of urinary tract infections.E.coli MurD enzyme is a suitable target for drug development.Novel inhibitors against E.coli MurD enzyme were identified.Molecular dynamics studies identified in-silico potential of identified compound.ADMET predictions and Lipinski's rule of five studies showed promising results.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
An Individual Survival Distribution (ISD) models a patient's personalized survival probability at all future time points. Previously, ISD models have been shown to produce accurate and personalized survival estimates (for example, time to relapse or to death) in several clinical applications. However, off-the-shelf neural-network-based ISD models are usually opaque models due to their limited support for meaningful feature selection and uncertainty estimation, which hinders their wide clinical adoption. Here, we introduce a Bayesian-neural-network-based ISD (BNN-ISD) model that produces accurate survival estimates but also quantifies the uncertainty in model's parameter estimation, which can be used to (1) rank the importance of the input features to support feature selection and (2) compute credible intervals around ISDs for clinicians to assess the model's confidence in its prediction. Our BNN-ISD model utilized sparsity-inducing priors to learn a sparse set of weights to enable feature selection. We provide empirical evidence, on 2 synthetic and 3 real-world clinical datasets, that BNN-ISD system can effectively select meaningful features and compute trustworthy credible intervals of the survival distribution for each patient. We observed that our approach accurately recovers feature importance in the synthetic datasets and selects meaningful features for the real-world clinical data as well, while also achieving state-of-the-art survival prediction performance. We also show that these credible regions can aid in clinical decision-making by providing a gauge of the uncertainty of the estimated ISD curves.

Abstract
Aquatic animals are prone to extinction due to metal pollution and global climate change. Even though the fish and their products are also unsafe for human consumption, their exports have been rejected due to inorganic and organic contaminants. Nickel (Ni) is a metal that induces toxicity and accumulates in the aquatic ecosystem, posing health threats to humans, animals, and fish. In light of the above, our present investigation aimed to determine the median lethal concentration (96 h-LC50) of nickel alone and concurrent with high temperature (34 °C) (Ni + T) using static non-renewable bioassay toxicity test in Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. The groups treated under exposure to Ni reared under control condition (25-28.9 °C) and Ni + T exposure group reread under 34 °C. In this study, chose the definitive dose of Ni and Ni + T as 17, 18, 19, and 20 mg L-1 after the range finding test. The median lethal concentration of Ni and Ni + T was determined as 19.38 and 18.75 mg L-1, respectively at 96 h. Oxidative stress viz. catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione-s-transferase (GST), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in the liver, gill, and kidney were noticeably elevated with Ni and Ni + T during 96 h. Whereas, the CAT, GPx, and SOD gene expressions were significantly upregulated with Ni and Ni + T. Trilox equivalent anti-oxidant capacity (TEAC), cupric reducing anti-oxidant capacity (CUPRIC), ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP), ethoxy resorufin-O-deethylase (EROD), and acetylcholine esterase (AChE) were reduced due to exposure to Ni and Ni + T. Cellular metabolic stress and lipid peroxidation were highly affected due to Ni and Ni + T exposure. The immunological status, as indicated by total protein, albumin, globulin, A:G ratio, and nitro blue tetrazolium chloride (NBT), was severely affected by the toxicity of Ni and Ni + T. Moreover, the gene expression of interleukin (IL), tumor necrosis factor (TNFα), toll-like receptor (TLR), and total immunoglobulin (Ig) was remarkably downregulated following exposure to Ni and Ni + T. HSP 70, iNOS expression, ATPase, Na + /K + -ATPase, cortisol, and blood glucose was significantly elevated with Ni and Ni + T in P. hypophthalmus. The bioaccumulation of Ni in fish tissues and experimental water was determined. The kidney and liver tissues were highly accumulated with Ni, whereas DNA damage was reported in gill tissue. Interestingly, depuration study revealed that at the 28th day, the Ni bioaccumulation was below the maximum residue limit (MRL) level. Therefore, the present study revealed that Ni and Ni + T led to dysfunctional gene and metabolic regulation affecting physiology and genotoxicity. The bioaccumulation and depuration results also indicate higher residual occurrence of Ni in water and aquatic organisms for longer periods.

Abstract
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disease. Accurately predicting the survival time for ALS patients can help patients and clinicians to plan for future treatment and care. We describe the application of a machine-learned tool that incorporates clinical features and cortical thickness from brain magnetic resonance (MR) images to estimate the time until a composite respiratory failure event for ALS patients, and presents the prediction as individual survival distributions (ISDs). These ISDs provide the probability of survival (none of the respiratory failures) at multiple future time points, for each individual patient. Our learner considers several survival prediction models, and selects the best model to provide predictions. We evaluate our learned model using the mean absolute error margin (MAE-margin), a modified version of mean absolute error that handles data with censored outcomes. We show that our tool can provide helpful information for patients and clinicians in planning future treatment.

Abstract
Fungal infections (FIs) affect majority of the population, but the current treatments face challenges in terms of their effectiveness. This study focused on specific fungal targets, including dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), acetohydroxy-acid synthase (AHAS), farnesyltransferase and endoglucanase. The docking studies were conducted with the drug voriconazole (VCZ), comparing it with Fluconazole (FCZ) and Amphotericin B (ATB) against 11 protein data bank (PDB) IDs (IDYR, 3NZB, 6DEQ, 1KS5, 7T0C, 1FY4, 5AJH, 7R79, 6TZ6 and 6IDY). Molecular dynamics (MD) analysis, including RMSD, RMSF, PCA and FEL, confirmed the stability of VCZ. The solubility of VCZ was a problem, so nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) were developed to improve ocular penetration. VCF5 was the optimized formulation by using 32 full factorial design. VCZF5-NLCs were the best in terms of nanoparticle size (126.6 nm), Zeta potential (33.5 mV), drug content (DC; 97.38 ± 0.210), encapsulation efficiency (EE; 88.01 ± 0.272) and extended drug release. The results of the ex-vivo corneal diffusion study indicate that VCZ-NLC-loaded in-situ gel (VCZ-NLC-IG3) exhibited DC of 88.25% and drug entrapment (DE) of 74.2%. The results of the zone of inhibition indicated that VCZ-NLC-IG3 had superior efficacy compared to ATB. Network pharmacology showed VCZ interacts with the genes which are responsible for fungus ergosterol biosynthesis, including lanosterol 14-alpha demethylase inhibitors (ERG11), ergosterol biosynthesis protein 5 (ERG5), dimethylallyltransferase 2 (DIT2), ketosynthase (KCN), methylsterol monooxygenase (MSMO1), lamin B receptor (LBR), squalene epoxidase (SQLE), 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A Reductase (MGCR), 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A Synthase (HMGCS) and 3-keto-steroid reductase (HSD17B7). In conclusion, the optimized VCZ-loaded NLCs present a promising approach to treat ocular FIs.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Understanding the role of parton mass and Casimir color factors in the quantum chromodynamics parton shower represents an important step in characterizing the emission properties of heavy quarks. Recent experimental advances in jet substructure techniques have provided the opportunity to isolate and characterize gluon emissions from heavy quarks. In this Letter, the first direct experimental constraint on the charm-quark splitting function is presented, obtained via the measurement of the groomed shared momentum fraction of the first splitting in charm jets, tagged by a reconstructed D^{0} meson. The measurement is made in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV, in the low jet transverse-momentum interval of 15≤p_{T}^{jet ch}<30 GeV/c where the emission properties are sensitive to parton mass effects. In addition, the opening angle of the first perturbative emission of the charm quark, as well as the number of perturbative emissions it undergoes, is reported. Comparisons to measurements of an inclusive-jet sample show a steeper splitting function for charm quarks compared with gluons and light quarks. Charm quarks also undergo fewer perturbative emissions in the parton shower, with a reduced probability of large-angle emissions.

Abstract
The goal of the current investigation is to determine the breast tumor size-dependent MNP (Magnetic nano-particle) dose (mg/cm3) that can induce the required therapeutic effects during magnetic nanoparticle hyperthermia (MNH). The investigation is done through the MNH simulations on the tumor models generated from DCE_MRI DICOM images of breast cancer from TCIA ('The Cancer Imaging Archive'). Five tumor models are created from MRI data using 3D slicer software having size range of 3 cm3 to 15 cm3. The FEM-based solver (COMSOL multi-physics) is used to simulate bioheat transfer physics in all five extracted models. Single and multi-point injection strategies have been adopted to induce MNP in tumor tissues. The required MNP dose that may induce necessary therapeutic effects is evaluated by comparing the therapeutic effects produced by constant dose (CD) (5 mg/cm3) and variable reduced dose (RD) (5.5-2.8 mg/cm3) methodologies. Results show that for the requisite therapeutic effects, injected MNP doses (mg/cm3) should not remain constant as the size of the tumor increases. In fact, MNP dose (mg/cm3) should be reduced as the size of the tumor increases. Results also show that RD works better with a multi-injection strategy than a single injection of MNP. It has been found that the effective MNP dose (mg/cm3) is reduced by 50 % for the biggest tumor size (15 cm3) using multi-injection MNP delivery with respect to the smallest tumor (3 cm3) selected in this study.

Abstract
Identifying a congenially targeted production environment and understanding the effects of genotype by environmental interactions on the adaption of chickpea genotypes is essential for achieving an optimal yield stability. Different models like additive main effect and multiplicative interactions (AMMI 1, AMM2), weighted average absolute scores of BLUPs (WAASB), and genotype plus genotype-environment (GGE) interactions were used to understand their suitability in the precise estimation of variance and their interaction. Our experiment used genotypes that represent the West Asia-North Africa (WANA) region. This trial involved two different sowing dates, two distinct seasons, and three different locations, resulting in a total of 12 environments. Genotype IG 5871(G1) showed a lower heat susceptibility index (HSI) across environments under study. The first four interactions principal component axis (IPCA) explain 93.2% of variations with significant genotype-environment interactions. Considering the AMMI stability value (ASV), the genotypes IG5862(G7), IG5861(G6), ILC239(G40), IG6002(G26), and ILC1932(G39), showing ASV scores of 1.66, 1.80, 2.20, 2.60, and 2.84, respectively, were ranked as the most stable and are comparable to the weighted average absolute scores of BLUPs (WAASB) ranking of genotypes. The which-won-where pattern of genotype plus genotype-environment (GGE) interactions suggested that the target environment consists of one mega environment. IG5866(G10), IG5865(G9), IG5884(G14), and IG5862(G7) displayed higher stability, as they were nearer to the origin. The genotypes that exhibited a superior performance in the tested environments can serve as ideal parental lines for heat-stress tolerance breeding programs. The weighted average absolute scores of BLUPs (WAASB) serve as an ideal tool to discern the variations and identify the stable genotype among all methods.

Abstract
The current study investigates the potential utilization of poultry intestines for the synthesis of stable silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and their impact on fish physiology. The AgNPs were synthesized and characterized using various analytical techniques. The toxicity of AgNPs on Anabas testudineus was evaluated, determining a 96-h LC50 value of 25.46 mg l-1. Subsequently, fish were exposed to concentrations corresponding to 1/10th, 1/25th, 1/50th, and 1/100th of the estimated LC50 for a duration of 60 days in a sub-acute study. A comprehensive range of biomarkers, including haematological, serum, oxidative stress, and metabolizing markers, were analyzed to assess the physiological responses of the fish. Additionally, histopathological examinations were conducted, and the accumulation of silver in biomarker organs was measured. The results indicate that silver tends to bioaccumulate in all biomarker organs in a dose- and time-dependent manner, except for the muscle tissue, where accumulation initially increased and subsequently decreased, demonstrating the fish's inherent ability for natural attenuation. Analysis of physiological data and integrated biomarker responses reveal that concentrations of 1/10th, 1/25th, and 1/50th of the LC50 can induce stress in the fish, while exposure to 1/100th of the LC50 shows minimal to no stress response. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the toxicity and physiological responses of fish exposed to poultry waste biosynthesized AgNPs, offering potential applications in aquaculture while harnessing their unique features.

Abstract
PURPOSE Personalized medicine attempts to predict survival time for each patient, based on their individual tumor molecular profile. We investigate whether our survival learner in combination with a dimension reduction method can produce useful survival estimates for a variety of patients with cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN This article provides a method that learns a model for predicting the survival time for individual patients with cancer from the PanCancer Atlas: given the (16,335 dimensional) gene expression profiles from 10,173 patients, each having one of 33 cancers, this method uses unsupervised nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) to reexpress the gene expression data for each patient in terms of 100 learned NMF factors. It then feeds these 100 factors into the Multi-Task Logistic Regression (MTLR) learner to produce cancer-specific models for each of 20 cancers (with >50 uncensored instances); this produces "individual survival distributions" (ISD), which provide survival probabilities at each future time for each individual patient, which provides a patient's risk score and estimated survival time. RESULTS Our NMF-MTLR concordance indices outperformed the VAECox benchmark by 14.9% overall. We achieved optimal survival prediction using pan-cancer NMF in combination with cancer-specific MTLR models. We provide biological interpretation of the NMF model and clinical implications of ISDs for prognosis and therapeutic response prediction. CONCLUSIONS NMF-MTLR provides many benefits over other models: superior model discrimination, superior calibration, meaningful survival time estimates, and accurate probabilistic estimates of survival over time for each individual patient. We advocate for the adoption of these cancer survival models in clinical and research settings.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Palliative radiation is used to relieve pain and bleeding in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancers. Lower doses are utilized to meet normal tissue tolerances, limiting the duration of palliation. Lattice therapy can achieve intratumoral dose escalation while sparing surrounding tissues, but a standard approach does not exist. In this study, we explore the impact of variation in the values and distributions of peak and valley doses in palliative lattice treatment plans. MATERIALS/METHODS Five-fraction volumetric-arc based (VMAT) lattice plans were generated using a customized Python v3.6 script. For each combination of peak/valley doses and sphere size and spacing, a bounding box was generated around the gross tumor volume (GTV) and divided into equal segments in the x, y, and z planes. Individual spheres were constructed for a given parameter set and those fully encompassed within the target contracted by 2 cm were used to create peak dose targets with values of 30, 40, and 50 Gy. A valley dose of 20 Gy was chosen to match standard dosing for 5-fraction palliative plans and the associated target volumes were generated by subtracting an 8 mm expansion of the peak dose spheres from the overall target volume. Multi-criteria optimization (MCO) was used to generate a final plan. The planning target volume (PTV) was a uniform 3-mm expansion from the GTV. Target volume and OAR dosimetric parameters were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis testing. RESULTS A total of 72 unique plans were evaluated for 4 patients with large GTV sizes ranging from 159 to 413 cm3. The median time to generate an individual plan using the automated script was 20 minutes (IQR, 18 - 23). Median values of mean GTV and PTV doses were 27.9 Gy (IQR, 24.7 - 30.3) and 26.7 Gy (IQR, 23.9 - 29.1), respectively. Further analysis was then limited to plans containing ablative 50 Gy dose spheres. For these 24 plans, mean GTV and PTV doses increased to a median of 31.7 Gy (IQR, 29.6 - 33.3) and 29.6 Gy (IQR, 27.8 - 31.0), respectively. Mean doses to 1, 2, and 4 cm expansions around the GTV for this cohort had median values of 19.5 Gy, 15.1 Gy, and 9.7 Gy, respectively. Median doses to 0.03 cc of mandible, spinal cord, and esophagus were 28.2 Gy (range, 7.0 - 35.7), 14.7 Gy (range, 9.8 - 18.8), and 8.7 Gy (range, 0.8 - 16.2), respectively. Mean GTV dose was dependent on sphere spacing (median 29.9 Gy for 4 cm spacing vs. 33.5 Gy for 3 cm, p<0.001), but not on sphere size (median 31.3 Gy for 2 cm vs. 31.8 Gy for 1.5 cm vs. 31.5 Gy for 1 cm, p = 0.968). CONCLUSION VMAT-based lattice planning allows dose escalation to bulky head and neck tumors, including significant coverage with ablative doses while meeting normal tissue constraints. Thus, lattice plans could enhance palliation while reducing toxicity. Mean target coverage is dependent on sphere spacing. Use of automated plan generation could also facilitate clinical application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug-induced movement disorders (DIMDs) form an important subgroup of secondary movement disorders, which despite conferring a significant iatrogenic burden, tend to be under-recognized and inappropriately managed. OBJECTIVE We aimed to look into phenomenology, predictors of reversibility, and its impact on the quality of life of DIMD patients. METHODS We conducted the study in the Department of Neurology at a tertiary-care centre in India. The institutional ethics-committee approved the study. We assessed 55-consecutive DIMD patients at presentation to our movement disorder clinic. Subsequently, they followed up to evaluate improvement in severity-scales (UPDRS, UDRS, BARS, AIMS) and quality of life (EuroQol-5D-5L). Wilcoxan-signed-rank test compared the scales at presentation and follow-up. Binary-logistic-regrerssion revealed the independent predictors of reversibility. RESULTS Fourteen patients (25.45%) had acute-subacute DIMD and 41 (74.55%) had tardive DIMD. Tardive-DIMD occurred more commonly in the elderly (age 50.73±16.92 years, p<0.001). Drug-induced-Parkinsonism (DIP) was the most common MD, followed by tardivedyskinesia. Risperidone and levosulpiride were the commonest culprit drugs. Patients in both the groups showed a statistically significant response to drug-dose reduction /withdrawal based on follow-up assessment on clinical-rating-scales and quality of life scores (EQ-5D-5L). DIMD was reversible in 71.42% of acute-subacute DIMD and 24.40% of patients with chronic DIMD (p=0.001). Binary-logistic-regression analysis showed acute-subacute DIMDs and DIP as independent predictors of reversibility. CONCLUSION DIP is the commonest and often reversible drug-induced movement disorder. Levosulpiride is notorious for causing DIMD in the elderly, requiring strict pharmacovigilance.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and hormonal dysfunction are considered as a late effect of cranial radiation (RT). Only few studies have reported the occurrence of these problems soon after the diagnosis of brain tumor or RT initiation, emphasizing that these are not necessarily the late effects of RT. Thus, we conducted the study to analyze the incidence of low BMD and hormonal dysfunction prior to or within 6 months of RT (early change) in children with brain tumors. MATERIALS/METHODS The study was conducted as a part of intramural funding program at a tertiary care center in India. Childhood and adolescent brain tumor patients were advised for dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scan (DXA) and hormonal evaluation prior to RT. In some patients, first DXA was done within 6 months of RT due to logistics. To see the effect of radiation, we have planned to repeat hormonal evaluation after 6 and 12 months and DXA after 12 months of RT. RESULTS Twenty-five patients were analyzed. Median age at diagnosis was 11 years with a male to female ratio of 5.2:1. Medulloblastoma was the commonest diagnosis (n = 12), followed by glioma (n = 8), pineal tumors (n = 3) and ependymoma (n = 2). Nineteen and six patients underwent DXA before RT and within 6 months of RT respectively. For BMD assessment, Z score was calculated at hip and lumbar spine. BMD was defined as low (Z score = -1 to-1.99), very low (Z score = -2 to -2.5) and secondary osteoporosis (Z score ≤ -2.5). Median Z score at femur neck and spine was -2 and -1.9 respectively. Overall; 6, 3 and 9 patients had normal, low and very low BMD respectively. Seven patients had secondary osteoporosis (Table 1). Two patients with secondary osteoporosis had low vitamin D levels. None of the patient had compression fracture. On statistical analysis, no correlation was found between BMD changes and age, sex and site of the tumor. Pre RT endocrinal assessment (N = 25) was done by tanner staging and serum hormonal levels (GH, T3/T4/TSH, ACTH, cortisol and prolactin). Gonadal hormonal assessment was done in children with early or delayed puberty. Three patients were found to have endocrinal abnormality before RT (precautious puberty, central hypothyroidism and low sex hormones in 1 patient each). Follow up DXA and hormonal evaluation are awaited to see the effect of RT. CONCLUSION The index study is one of the very few studies evaluating the early changes in BMD and hormonal dysfunction soon after brain tumor diagnosis or within 6 months of RT. We observed that a significant proportion of children had reduced BMD and hormonal dysfunction before RT, highlighting the importance of early assessment and referral to the specialist for better quality of life.
