Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent times, the expeditious expansion of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology in neuroscience, which relies on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals associated with motor imagery, has yielded outcomes that rival conventional approaches, notably due to the triumph of deep learning. Nevertheless, the task of developing and training a comprehensive network to extract the underlying characteristics of motor imagining EEG data continues to pose challenges. NEW METHOD This paper presents a multi-scale spatiotemporal self-attention (SA) network model that relies on an attention mechanism. This model aims to classify motor imagination EEG signals into four classes (left hand, right hand, foot, tongue/rest) by considering the temporal and spatial properties of EEG. It is employed to autonomously allocate greater weights to channels linked to motor activity and lesser weights to channels not related to movement, thus choosing the most suitable channels. Neuron utilises parallel multi-scale Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) layers to extract feature information in the temporal domain at various scales, effectively eliminating temporal domain noise. RESULTS The suggested model achieves accuracies of 79.26%, 85.90%, and 96.96% on the BCI competition datasets IV-2a, IV-2b, and HGD, respectively. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING METHODS In terms of single-subject classification accuracy, this strategy demonstrates superior performance compared to existing methods. CONCLUSION The results indicate that the proposed strategy exhibits favourable performance, resilience, and transfer learning capabilities.

Abstract
Open revascularization for mesenteric ischemia has retained a significant value despite the increasing importance and use of endovascular techniques. Surgical procedures such as retrograde embolectomy, thromboendarterectomy and visceral bypass are indispensable components of the therapeutic armamentarium, particularly in cases of multisegmental vascular involvement, failure of previous endovascular treatment and concomitant presence of peritonitis, shock or multiorgan failure. In this context, preoperative multiphase computed tomography (CT) angiography is essential for the planning and outcome of visceral revascularization. This article summarizes the indications, technique, and results of the most important open surgical procedures.

Effect of Perilla seeds inclusion on the performance, egg quality characteristics, biochemical parameters and egg yolk fatty acid composition of laying hens. Trop Anim Health Prod 2024; 56:147.

Abstract
This study investigates the effect of supplementation of Perilla seeds (PS) on the performance, egg quality, blood biochemical parameters, and egg yolk fatty acids composition in the diet of egg-laying chicken. A total of 1600 Lohmann laying hens were randomly assigned to four different groups with 4 replicates each (100 chickens/replicate) and were subjected to varying PS concentrations (PS0, PS6, PS12, and PS18; 0%, 6%, 12%, and 18%, respectively) for four weeks, including an acclimation period of one week. The results showed no significant differences among the groups for average egg weight (P > 0.005). The laying rate (%), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and average feed intake (AFI) decreased significantly for birds fed on 18% PS as compared to the other treatments (P < 0.005). Haugh unit, albumin height, egg-shape index and eggshell thickness among hens fed PS diets were greater averaging 80.53, 7.00, 1.29, 0.34 compared to 76.84, 6.86, 1.25 and 0.32 from Control hen eggs (P < 0.05). Serum analysis showed a trend towards elevated levels of glucose (Glu), total protein (TP) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) among treatments. Total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) decreased for the birds fed on 6% PS. The fatty acid composition of egg yolk showed a substantial reduction for α-linolenic acid and docosahexaenoic acid increased significantly by the incorporating PS in the diet (P < 0.001). PS incorporation in diets resulted in significant improvements in both performance indicators and greater amounts of α-linolenic acid and DHA in egg yolks. These findings indicate that PS at 6% inclusion has the potential to improve fatty acid profiles of egg yolk without any adverse effect on performance of egg quality.

Abstract
The first measurement of the cross section for incoherent photonuclear production of J/ψ vector mesons as a function of the Mandelstam |t| variable is presented. The measurement was carried out with the ALICE detector at midrapidity, |y|<0.8, using ultraperipheral collisions of Pb nuclei at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV. This rapidity interval corresponds to a Bjorken-x range (0.3-1.4)×10^{-3}. Cross sections are given in five |t| intervals in the range 0.04<|t|<1 GeV^{2} and compared to the predictions by different models. Models that ignore quantum fluctuations of the gluon density in the colliding hadron predict a |t| dependence of the cross section much steeper than in data. The inclusion of such fluctuations in the same models provides a better description of the data.

Abstract
Among the Salmonella reduction strategies in poultry production, one option is to use a Salmonella vaccine. The aim of vaccinating layer flocks is to reduce the shedding of wild-type Salmonella in the poultry environment, thereby reducing the contamination of poultry products (eggs and meat). Nutritive diluent and a higher dose of vaccine may enhance its colonization potential in the gut of chickens. In this study, a commercially available live attenuated vaccine (Vaxsafe® ST) was reconstituted in different media and delivered orally to day-old chicks at three different doses (107, 108, and 109 CFU/chick). Gut colonization of the vaccine strain and the effects of vaccination on gut microbiota were assessed in commercial-layer chickens. The vaccine diluent and dosage minimally affected microbiota alpha diversity. Microbiota beta diversity was significantly different (P < 0.05) based on the vaccine diluent and dose, which indicated that the vaccinated and unvaccinated chickens had different gut microbial communities. Differences were noted in the abundance of several genera, including Blautia, Colidextribacter, Dickeya, Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, and Sellimonas. The abundance of Colidextribacter was significantly lower in chickens that received vaccine reconstituted in Marek's and water diluents, while Lactobacillus abundance was significantly lower in the water group. The highest vaccine dose (109 CFU/chick) did not significantly alter (P > 0.05) the abundance of microbial genera. Chicken age affected the microbiota composition more significantly than the vaccine dose and diluent. The abundance of Lactobacillus, Blautia, Caproiciproducens, Pediococcus, and Colidextribacter was significantly higher on day 14 compared with day 7 post-vaccination. The Salmonella Typhimurium vaccine load in the caeca was not significantly affected by diluent and vaccine dose; however, it was significantly lower (P < 0.0001) on day 14 compared with day 7 post-vaccination. Overall, the S. Typhimurium vaccine minimally affected the gut microbiota structure of layer chicks, whereas changes in microbiota were more significant with chicken age.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is one of the most widespread endocrine disorders that have effects on lipid metabolism. Supplementation of oral zinc may improve the abnormalities of lipid metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. To evaluate the effects of oral supplementation of zinc on serum lipid profile levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This prospective interventional study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Dhaka Medical College (DMC), Bangladesh from January 2016 to December 2016. After fulfilling the ethical aspect, during the study a total number of 51 diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients of both sexes were selected with age ranging from 40 to 55 years. Among them, 26 type 2 diabetic patients with supplementation of oral zinc (40mg/day) for 12 weeks were considered as study group (Group B). Another 25 age matched type 2 diabetic patients without supplementation of oral zinc were considered as control group (Group A) for comparison. The subjects were selected from Outpatient Department of Endocrinology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka and personal contacts from Dhaka city on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Serum lipid profile levels were estimated by enzymatic endpoint method in auto-analyzer. The study parameters were measured 2 times in all subjects of control and study groups i.e. at the beginning of study (base line) and after 12 weeks of study period. For statistical analysis, paired Student's 't' test and unpaired Student's 't' test were performed as applicable using SPSS for windows version 22.0 In this study, serum TC, TG and LDL levels were significantly decreased (p<0.001) and serum HDL level was significantly increased (p<0.001) in diabetic patients after supplementation with oral zinc in comparison to that of their baseline value. Again, after 12 weeks, serum TC, TG, LDL levels were significantly lower (p<0.05) and HDL (p<0.05) level was significantly higher in diabetic patients supplemented with oral zinc in comparison to that of diabetic control group. In control group, there was no significant change in serum TC, TG, HDL and LDL levels between baseline and after 12 weeks of follow-up. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that oral zinc may improve serum TG and TC levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and may be helpful to minimize the complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Aspongopus chinensis Dallas is a traditional Chinese medicinal insect with several anticancer properties can inhibit cancer cell growth, by inhibiting cell division, autophagy and cell cycle. However, the precise therapeutics effects and mechanisms of this insect on liver cancer are still unknown. This study examined the inhibitory influence of A. chinensis on the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and explore the underlying mechanism using high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that A. chinensis substantially reduced the viability of Hep G2 cells. A total of 33 miRNAs were found to be upregulated, while 43 miRNAs were downregulated. Additionally, 754 mRNAs were upregulated and 863 mRNAs were downregulated. Significant enrichment of differentially expressed genes was observed in signaling pathways related to tumor cell growth, cell cycle regulation, and apoptosis. Differentially expressed miRNAs exhibited a targeting relationship with various target genes, including ARC, HSPA6, C11orf86, and others. Hence, cell cycle and apoptosis were identified by flow cytometry. These findings indicate that A. chinensis impeded cell cycle advancement, halted the cell cycle in the G0/G1 and S stages, and stimulated apoptosis. Finally, mouse experiments confirmed that A. chinensis significantly inhibits tumor growth in vivo. Therefore, our findings indicate that A. chinensis has a notable suppressive impact on the proliferation of HCC cells. The potential mechanism of action could involve the regulation of mRNA expression via miRNA, ultimately leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. The results offer a scientific foundation for the advancement and application of A. chinensis in the management of HCC.

Abstract
Escherichia coli is the major causative agent of urinary tract infections worldwide and the emergence of multi-drug resistant determinants among clinical isolates necessitates the development of novel therapeutic agents. Lytic bacteriophages efficiently kill specific bacteria and seems promising approach in controlling infections caused by multi-drug resistant pathogens. This study aimed the isolation and detailed characterization of lytic bacteriophage designated as ES10 capable of lysing multidrug-resistant uropathogenic E. coli. ES10 had icosahedral head and non-contractile tail and genome size was 48,315 base pairs long encoding 74 proteins. Antibiotics resistance, virulence and lysogenic cycle associated genes were not found in ES10 phage genome. Morphological and whole genome analysis of ES10 phage showed that ES10 is the member of Drexlerviridae. Latent time of ES10 was 30 min, burst size was 90, and optimal multiplicity of infection was 1. ES10 was stable in human blood and subsequently caused 99.34% reduction of host bacteria. Calcium chloride shortened the adsorption time and latency period of ES10 and significantly inhibited biofilm formation of host bacteria. ES10 caused 99.84% reduction of host bacteria from contaminated fomites. ES10 phage possesses potential to be utilized in standard phage therapy.

Abstract
Breast cancer, the most common cancer, presents a significant challenge to the health and longevity of women. Aspongopus chinensis Dallas is an insect with known anti-breast cancer properties. However, the anti-breast cancer effects and underlying mechanisms have not been elucidated. Exogenous microRNAs (miRNAs), which are derived from plants and animals, have been revealed to have notable capacities for controlling the proliferation of cancerous cells. To elucidate the inhibitory effects of miRNAs derived from A. chinensis and the regulatory mechanism involved in the growth of breast cancer cells, miRNA sequencing was initially employed to screen for miRNAs both in A. chinensis hemolymph and decoction and in mouse serum and tumor tissue after decoction gavage. Subsequently, the experiments were performed to assess the suppressive effect of ach-miR-276a-3p, the miRNA screened out from a previous study, on the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cell lines in vitro and in vivo. Finally, the regulatory mechanism of ach-miR-276a-3p in MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells was elucidated. The results demonstrated that ach-miR-276a-3p notably inhibited breast cancer cell proliferation, migration, colony formation, and invasion and induced cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase. Moreover, the ach-miR-276a-3p mimics significantly reduced the tumor volume and weight in xenograft tumor mice. Furthermore, ach-miR-276a-3p could induce cell cycle arrest by targeting APPL2 and regulating the CDK2-Rb-E2F1 signaling pathway. In summary, ach-miR-276a-3p, derived from A. chinensis, has anti-breast cancer activity by targeting APPL2 and regulating the CDK2-Rb-E2F1 signaling pathway and can serve as a promising candidate anticancer agent.

Abstract
Background Stress is a pervasive issue in modern life, affecting both physical and mental health. Identifying biomarkers like cell-free DNA (cfDNA) could provide insights into stress response and help detect individuals at risk for stress-related disorders. Objective The aim of this study is to investigate the potential use of cfDNA as a diagnostic biomarker in individuals experiencing stress. Methodology A case-control analysis was conducted using convenient sampling on university participants (N = 285 cases, N = 500 controls) aged 18-24. The study assessed haematological and lipid profile parameters using the Sysmex XP-300TM automated analyzer and an automated biochemistry analyzer, and cfDNA was extracted using a standardized in house developed Phenol-Chloroform protocol and estimated using Agarose Gel Electrophoresis and Nanodrop. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS ver. 21.0. Results The results indicated a significant difference between stressed individuals and healthy controls in demographic, haematological and biochemical parameters. Specifically, stressed cases had significantly higher levels of cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, VLDL cholesterol, and lower levels of HDL compared to healthy controls. Stressed cases also showed significantly elevated levels of circulating cfDNA relative to healthy controls. Conclusion These findings suggest that cfDNA may have potential as a diagnostic biomarker for stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidelines on when to screen for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia apply to infants born at 35 weeks or later of gestation. It is unknown whether infants born earlier would benefit from similar guidelines. Our objective was to examine hyperbilirubinemia screening and phototherapy prescription among early preterm infants during the first 6 days of life. METHODS We reviewed the charts of 193 infants born prior to 35 weeks of gestation who were admitted to a tertiary care NICU in Southeastern Ontario in 2018-2019. Information on total serum bilirubin (TSB) measurements over each 12-hour interval during the first six days of life and the treatment decision (no treatment, initiate, continue, or stop phototherapy) was extracted. We also examined what proportion of infants were prescribed phototherapy during each 12-hour interval. RESULTS Of 1006 TSB measurements performed over the first 6 days of life, 605 were done to determine whether phototherapy should be initiated. Treatment was prescribed in 275 instances (45%). A higher proportion of infants born prior to 28 weeks of gestation required phototherapy in the first 12 hours of life (37%) compared to those born at 28-32 weeks (20%) and 33-34 weeks (5.7%). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that TSB measurements are often poorly timed to detect treatment need in infants born prior to 35 weeks of gestation. This unnecessarily increases the risk of complications from phlebotomy and is an ineffective use of health care resources. There is a need to develop guidelines to optimize hyperbilirubinemia screening among early preterm infants.

Background and Aims Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women. The genetic polymorphism in HER (HER1-rs11543848 and HER2-rs1136201) were found to be associated with breast cancer risk in different ethnicities worldwide with inconsistent results. The aim of this research study was to evaluate the association of HER1-rs11543848 and HER2-rs1136201 polymorphisms as a risk of breast cancer in Pashtun population of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Methods A total of 314 women including 164 breast cancer patients and 150 age and gender-matched healthy controls were enrolled from June 2021 to May 2022. All the samples were subjected to DNA extraction followed by Tetra-ARMS-PCR for genotyping and gel electrophoresis. Results Our results indicated that HER1-rs11543848 risk allele A (p = 0.0001) and heterozygous genotype GA (p = 0.0001) displayed highly significant association with breast cancer, while the homozygous mutant genotype AA indicated association but nonsignificant results (odds ratio [OR] = 2.637, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.2258-5.6756, p = 0.0833). Similarly, the HER2-rs1136201 risk allele G (p = 0.0023), the heterozygous genotype AG (p = 0.0530) and homozygous mutant genotype GG showed significant association (OR = 2.5946, 95% CI = 0.9876-6.8165, p = 0.0530) with breast cancer risk. Both the SNPs presented a higher but nonsignificant risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women (OR = 2.242, p = 0.08 and OR = 2.009, p = 0.06). However, both the SNPs showed significant association (p < 0.005) with family history, metastasis, stage, luminal B, and TNBC. Conclusion In conclusion, HER1-rs11543848 and HER2-rs1136201 polymorphisms are significantly associated with the higher risk of breast cancer in Pashtun population of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. These findings advocate for further exploration with larger datasets, offering promising avenues for personalized approaches in breast cancer research and potentially enhancing clinical practices for better risk assessment and targeted management strategies.

Abstract
The brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) involves stress regulation and psychiatric disorders. The Val66Met polymorphism in the BDNF gene has been linked to altered protein function and susceptibility to stress-related conditions. This in silico analysis aimed to predict and analyze the consequences of the Val66Met mutation in the BDNF gene of stressed individuals. Computational techniques, including ab initio, comparative, and I-TASSER modeling, were used to evaluate the functional and stability effects of the Val66Met mutation in BDNF. The accuracy and reliability of the models were validated. Sequence alignment and secondary structure analysis compared amino acid residues and structural components. The phylogenetic analysis assessed the conservation of the mutation site. Functional and stability prediction analyses provided mixed results, suggesting potential effects on protein function and stability. Structural models revealed the importance of BDNF in key biological processes. Sequence alignment analysis showed the conservation of amino acid residues across species. Secondary structure analysis indicated minor differences between the wild-type and mutant forms. Phylogenetic analysis supported the evolutionary conservation of the mutation site. This computational study suggests that the Val66Met mutation in BDNF may have implications for protein stability, structural conformation, and function. Further experimental validation is needed to confirm these findings and elucidate the precise effects of this mutation on stress-related disorders.

Abstract
Abstract The current research work aims to provide knowledge about the diversity of spiders’ fauna and their occurrence throughout the year from District Charsadda Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Research data were collected from March-2015 to January-2017 from seven different localities of Charsadda District by using the camera, bottle, plastic bags, paraffin films, field book and 70% of ethylene alcohol and 20% of glycerine were used as chemicals. By using special identification keys, spiders were differentiated into families, genera and species. During the study time, a total of 2734 specimens of spiders were collected belonging from 35 genera, 15 families and 44 species were identified. Salticidae was the dominant family according to genera studied plus spiders samples numbers collected with 10 genera and 616 species specimens count. The high occurrence of spiders was studied during July. The result of the current study also shows a reduction of spider’s species in December due to lowering the temperature. The current study shows that Salticidae were the dominant family as capered to other species. The occurrence of spiders species greatly depends on changing the weather condition. The present study also shows great fluctuation in spider’s occurrence with changing of hot climate to colder during the study duration. Moreover, the wet season plays a great role in spiders’ population increase and growth.

Abstract
Laccases are multi-copper oxidases and found in ligninolytic bacteria catalyzing the oxidation of both phenolic and non-phenolic compounds, however its application in lignin degradation suffers due to low oxidation rate, which have intensified the search for new laccases. In the present study, spore coat A protein (CotA) encoding gene having laccase like activity from Bacillus altitudinis SL7 (CotA-SL7) was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified CotA-SL7 was active at wide range of temperature and pH with optimum activity at 55 °C and pH 5.0. The kinetic parameters of CotA-SL7 was determined with Km, Vmax, and kcat values 0.4 mM, 2777 μmol/min/mg, and 5194 s-1, respectively. Molecular docking revealed the presence of Pro, Phe, Asp, Asn, His, and Ile residues at the active site taking part in the oxidation of ABTS. The purified CotA-SL7 reduced lignin contents by 31 % and changes in lignin structure were analyzed through fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microsscopy (SEM) and gas chromatography mass-spectrometry (GC-MS). The appearance of low molecular size compounds clearly indicates the cleavage of lignin polymer and opening of the benzene ring by purified CotA-SL7. Thus, high catalytic efficiency of CotA-SL7 makes it a suitable bio-catalyst for remediation of lignin contaminated wastewater from pulp and paper industries with clear insights into lignin degradation at molecular level.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a widespread malignancy characterized by uncontrolled growth in the colon or rectum and remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally. Various genes polymorphisms have been linked with the risk of CRC, but our study aimed to investigate the association between HER1 (rs11543848) and HER2 (rs1136201) polymorphisms with the risk of CRC in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) population of Pakistan. The association of the selected polymorphisms (rs11543848 and rs1136201) with CRC risk has been investigated in various ethnic groups, but their impact remains unexplored in Pakistan, particularly within the KPK population, highlighting the need of the study in this region. METHODS In this study 120 CRC patients and 120 healthy controls were enrolled. The DNA was extracted from the blood by salting-out method and genotyping was done using ARMS-PCR. RESULTS Our investigations provided convincing evidence of a strong association between HER1 (rs11543848) and the risk of CRC. Both the genotypes heterozygous GA (OR = 2.07, CI = 1.18 to 3.64, P = 0.01) and homozygous AA (OR = 6.22, CI = 2.56 to 15.08, P = 0.0001) showed higher risk and significant association with the CRC risk. Similarly, heterozygous genotype AG of HER2 (rs1136201) was significantly associated (OR = 3.16, 95% CI = 1.78 to 5.58, P = 0.0001) while mutant genotype GG showed higher risk but non-significant association (OR = 3.23, 95% CI = 0.84 to 12.43, P = 0.08) with CRC patients. HER1 (rs11543848) demonstrated a significant association (P = 0.003) with the age at diagnosis in CRC patients, while HER2 (rs1136201) showed a non-significant association (P = 0.434). Both the SNPs were non-significantly associated with gender (P = 0.793 and 0.117), metastasis (P = 0.582 and 0.129), location of the tumor (P = 0.555 and 0.993), tumor grade (P = 0.290 and 0.920), tumor size (P = 0.535 and 0.289) and stages of cancer (P = 0.892 and 0.352). CONCLUSION In conclusion, both the polymorphisms rs11543848 and rs1136201 displayed susceptibility with CRC in the KPK population. However, further investigations are recommended while using whole exome sequencing on a larger sample size for more precise results.

Abstract
Current study reports the combined technique of microneedle array patches and thermoresponsive gels. Microneedles array patch mediated insitu skin depots were evaluated for sustain drug delivery using sodium alginate/Poly (vinylcaprolactam) thermoresponsive gels. Their phase transition property from sol-gel state was monitored with AR2000 rheometer. Ibuprofen sodium was loaded in optimized formulations. The non-soluble cross-linked microneedle array patches (MAPs) were prepared from variable biocompatible polymers using silicone micromoulds. The fabricated MAPs were evaluated for mechanical stability, inskin dissolution, insertion forces and moisture contents. The penetration depth of MAPs in neonatal rabbit skin was tracked by optical coherence tomography. The optimized MAPs (GP10000) were used as microporation source in skin owing to their stable nature. Pores formation in skin samples after MAPs treatment was confirmed by optical coherence tomography, dye binding and skin integrity analysis. The invitro permeation of Ibuprofen sodium from formulations was studied using Franz cells across intact skin and MAPs applied skin. It was concluded from the results that Ibuprofen sodium permeation was observed for longer time through MAPs treated skin as compared to intact skin. Confocal study confirmed the diffusion of drug loaded formulations in deeper tissues with higher intensity.

Abstract
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophin gene family gene that encodes proteins vital for the growth, maintenance, and survival of neurons in the nervous system. The study aimed to screen natural compounds against BDNF variant (V66M), which affects memory, cognition, and mood regulation. BDNF variant (V66M) as a target structure was selected, and Vitamin D, Curcumin, Vitamin C, and Quercetin as ligands structures were taken from PubChem database. Multiple tools like AUTODOCK VINA, BIOVIA discovery studio, PyMOL, CB-dock, IMOD server, Swiss ADEMT, and Swiss predict ligands target were used to analyze binding energy, interaction, stability, toxicity, and visualize BDNF-ligand complexes. Compounds Vitamin D3, Curcumin, Vitamin C, and Quercetin with binding energies values of - 5.5, - 6.1, - 4.5, and - 6.7 kj/mol, respectively, were selected. The ligands bind to the active sites of the BDNF variant (V66M) via hydrophobic bonds, hydrogen bonds, and electrostatic interactions. Furthermore, ADMET analysis of the ligands revealed they exhibited sound pharmacokinetic and toxicity profiles. In addition, an MD simulation study showed that the most active ligand bound favorably and dynamically to the target protein, and protein-ligand complex stability was determined. The finding of this research could provide an excellent platform for discovering and rationalizing novel drugs against stress related to BDNF (V66M). Docking, preclinical drug testing and MD simulation results suggest Quercetin as a more potent BDNF variant (V66M) inhibitor and forming a more structurally stable complex.

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
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between oral health status and all-cause mortality in older adults using prospective cohort study design. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS In total, 12 809 adults aged ≥70 years (54.3% females) were participants of the ASPREE Longitudinal Study of Older Persons (ALSOP). METHODS Participants self-reported the presence of natural teeth and oral health status. The association of self-reported oral health, edentulism and the integrative measure of the two with all-cause mortality were explored using the Cox-regression models adjusted for age, gender, socio-economic status, health-related behaviours, weight status, aspirin and polypharmacy. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were reported. RESULTS In total, 22.2% of participants reported edentulism and 13.8% had fair/poor oral health. After adjustment for confounders, risk of all-cause mortality was higher among those with edentulism (vs. no edentulism) HR (95% CI) 1.43 (1.18, 1.73); and those with edentulism and reporting poor/fair oral health HR (95% CI) 1.69 (1.02, 2.82), or with no edentulism but reporting poor/fair oral health HR (95% CI) 1.46 (1.19-1.80) vs. no edentulism and reporting good/very good/excellent oral health. No association was observed between self-reported oral health alone and all-cause mortality. CONCLUSIONS The risk of all-cause mortality was 69% higher among older adults reporting both edentulism and poor/fair oral health compared with those with teeth and more favourable self-reported oral health. © 2023 Australian Dental Association.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In peripheral lung tumours, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is superior to conventional RT. SBRT has also shown high loco-regional control (LC) in centrally located tumours, but there is a high risk of severe toxicity. The STRICTSTARLung trial (NCT05354596) examines if risk-adapted SBRT for central tumours is feasible. In this study, we examined overall survival (OS), Disease-free survival (DSF), LC, and toxicity in patients with central tumours that could have been candidates for SBRT but received conventional RT. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospectively, we evaluated 49 lung cancer patients that between 2008 and 2021 received RT (60-70Gy in 2 Gy fractions) for a solitary tumour or lymph node with a diameter <5cm located <2cm from the bronchial tree, oesophagus, aorta or heart. All tumours were pathologically verified; 30 were primary lung tumours (T1b-T4) and 19 were solitary lymph nodes (T0N1-N2). Chemotherapy was administered as concomitant (29) or sequential (4). OS and LC were analysed using Kaplan Meier. Cox proportional hazards model for OS and disease-free survival (DFS) was performed including tumour volume, histology, sex, T- vs N-site and chemotherapy. Toxicity was scored. RESULTS In 42 patients, the tumour was located <1 cm to mediastinum. Median follow-up time was 44 months (range: 7-123). The median OS was 51 months. OS at 1-, 3- and 5-year was 88% (SE:5), 59% (SE:7) and 50% (SE:8). Loco-regional recurrences occurred in 16 patients resulting in 1-, and 3-year LC rates of 77% (SE:6) and 64% (SE:8). The majority occurred within 3 years after RT. Only stage showed significant impact on OS and DFS. No patients experienced grade 4-5 toxicity. Seven patients developed grade 3 toxicity (5 oesophageal stenosis, 2 pneumonitis). CONCLUSION Conventional RT for patients with small central lung tumours or solitary lymph nodes is feasible. Median OS was 51 months, and toxicity was low with no grade 4-5 events.

Abstract
The stomach's colonization by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) results in gastritis, ulcers, and stomach cancer. Frequently, pain is treated with medication, but resistant H. pylori infections are not. Therefore, it is important to find pharmacological targets and improved treatments for resistant H. pylori strains. The aim of the current study was sampling, identification, drug susceptibility testing following genome sequencing and comparative genome-wide analysis of selected H. pylori strains from Pakistan with three representative strains for virulence and drug-resistant characteristics. Based on culture, biochemistry, and molecular biology, 84 strains of H. pylori were identified, which made up 47% of the enrolled cases. Among all H. pylori strains, the highest resistance was reported for metronidazole with 82 H. pylori strains (98%), followed by clarithromycin with 62 resistant strains (74%). Among metronidazole-resistant strains, 38 strains (46%) were also resistant to clarithromycin, contributing 61% of clarithromycin resistant cases. Two strains, HPA1 and HPA2, isolated from 'gastritis' and 'gastric ulcer' patients, respectively, were further processed for WGS. The draft genome sequences of H. pylori strains HPA1 and HPA2 encode 1.66 Mbp and 1.67 Mbp genome size, 24 and 4 contiguous DNA sequences, and 1650 and 1625 coding sequences, respectively. Both the genomes showed greater than 90% similarity with the reference strain H. pylori ATCC 43504/PMSS1. The antibiotic-resistant genes were identified among all the strains with overall similarity above 95%, with minor differences in the sequence similarity. Using the virulent gene data obtained from the Virulence Factor Database, 75 to 85 virulent genes were identified in the five genome assemblies with various key genes such as cytolethal distending toxin (cdt), type IV secretion system, cag PAI, plasticity region, cell-motility- and flagellar-associated genes, neutrophil-activating protein (HP-NAP), T4SS effector cytotoxin-associated gene A (cagA), and urease-associated genes ureA and ureB, etc. Sequence similarity between the virulence factors found in this study and reference genes was at least 90%. In summary, the results of our study showed the relationship between clinical results and specific H. pylori strains' (HPA1 and HPA2) genetics such as antibiotic resistance and specific virulence factors. These findings provide valued understanding of the epidemiology of H. pylori-associated diseases. Moreover, identification and genomics analysis have provided insights into the epidemiology, genetic diversity, pathogenicity, and potential drug resistance genes of H. pylori strains, offering a foundation for developing more targeted and effective medical interventions, including anti-virulent medications.

Abstract
We present the precision measurements of 11 years of daily cosmic positron fluxes in the rigidity range from 1.00 to 41.9 GV based on 3.4×10^{6} positrons collected with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) aboard the International Space Station. The positron fluxes show distinctly different time variations from the electron fluxes at short and long timescales. A hysteresis between the electron fluxes and the positron fluxes is observed with a significance greater than 5σ at rigidities below 8.5 GV. On the contrary, the positron fluxes and the proton fluxes show similar time variation. Remarkably, we found that positron fluxes are modulated more than proton fluxes with a significance greater than 5σ for rigidities below 7 GV. These continuous daily positron fluxes, together with AMS daily electron, proton, and helium fluxes over an 11-year solar cycle, provide unique input to the understanding of both the charge-sign and mass dependencies of cosmic rays in the heliosphere.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) We present the first dosimetric measurements of single session, multi-target BgRT deliveries using a clinically realistic motion phantom on a research-only version of the RefleXion X1 system. MATERIALS/METHODS A custom-made anthropomorphic phantom of a human torso with embedded fillable targets mimicking 18F-FDG-avid lesions was used. From the three embedded spherical targets, Target 1 was 26 mm in diameter coupled with a 3D independent respiratory motion with 22 mm range, whereas Target 2 and 3 were 22 mm in diameter and moved with a 1D 5 mm maximum sinusoidal motion. The 18F-FDG concentration in the background cavity of the phantom was 5 kBq/ml, and the targets were loaded with 10:1, 8:1 and 6:1 contrast relative to the background for Targets 1, 2, 3, respectively. Spherical structures were contoured as GTVs (CTV = GTV) and a 5 mm margin was added to create PTVs. Motion extent of the tumors were captured to create biological tracking zones for each target. Treatment plans were generated using a research version of the Reflexion treatment planning software to deliver 8 Gy/fx to the PTVs. The treatment delivery was repeated 2 times, and each time the phantom was refilled according to the plan. PET image evaluation metrics for each of the three targets were also recorded. Target dosimetry was measured using a combination of radiographic film and ion chamber. The maximum distance between the 97% prescription isodose line from the plan and the film measurements was used to characterize the dosimetric accuracy of the tracked deliveries. CTV and PTV min, max, and mean doses measured on film were also recorded for each target. RESULTS Treatment plans were successfully created with 100% prescription dose coverage to each target loaded with different FDG ratios. Total treatment times for the single-plan, three-target deliveries were less than 80 minutes. PET evaluation metrics at imaging-only and pre-scan, and planning and film dosimetry to the GTV and PTV for each of the three targets is shown in table below (mean ± standard deviation of both deliveries). The CTV dose coverage was maintained for all targets. The shrinkage distance of the 97% prescription dose isodose line on the film plane for all three targets was less than 3 mm for both tests, and ranged from -0.4 to -2.34 mm. CONCLUSION These results demonstrate that high tracking accuracy and dosimetric accuracy can be achieved in single session, multi-target deliveries over a range of target-to-background 18F-FDG concentrations and target motion patterns.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Curative (chemo)radiotherapy ((CT)RT) for Nasopharyngeal cancers (NPC) achieves excellent disease control but is associated with significant late toxicities despite modern treatment delivery. Contemporary late toxicity data, including patient reported outcomes (PROs), is limited in the non-endemic population; we present a large contemporary series of toxicity outcomes and late PROs following treatment of non-endemic NPC. MATERIALS/METHODS Adult patients completing radical (CT)RT for primary NPC between February 2016 and 2020 at 7 large UK cancer centers were identified on institutional databases. Patients were excluded if they had prior head and neck cancer or prior therapeutic head and neck surgery (except neck dissection). Patients with an active other cancer were excluded from PRO assessment. Demographic, treatment, acute toxicity and outcome data were collected retrospectively from patient records. Disease-free patients were invited to complete an M.D. Anderson Dysphagia Index (MDADI) and University of Washington (UoW) Quality of Life (QoL) PROs questionnaires. RESULTS A total of 180 eligible patients were identified: 68% male, median age 54 years, 11% ≥70 years. EBV status was positive in 61% (unknown 12%). Patients had stage I (5%), II (22%), III (37%), IV (36%) disease; 95% were performance status ≤1 at baseline. Median follow-up was 31.2 months (range 0-68). A total of 54% received 70Gy in 33-35# and 43% received 65-66 Gy in 30-33#. 66% received induction and 65% received concurrent chemotherapy. 9.5% had residual disease at the first follow-up scan. Subsequent locoregional or distant recurrence occurred in 5% and 12% respectively. At last assessment, 84% patients were alive, 16% had died (of which 70% had active disease). Acute treatment toxicity included: 63% of patients required enteral support (median duration 98 days) with 9% a feeding tube at 1 year post treatment. 18% G3 dermatitis, 53% G3 mucositis. 82% requiring opioids and 40% admitted for symptom management. 90 patients completed the PROs (76% response rate) at a median of 37.8 months post treatment (Table 1). These demonstrate significant QoL detriment: 28% report significant pain, 24% require regular analgesia, and 59% report significant impact on daily activity. This was found to persist at different timepoints (not shown). CONCLUSION Excellent cancer survival outcomes are seen in a non-selected, non-endemic NPC population. However significant acute and late toxicity following radical treatment is identified which can profoundly negatively impact QoL in a relatively young cohort. This highlights the importance of ongoing efforts to reduce toxicity and supports the prospective evaluation of potential toxicity sparing technologies, such as proton beam radiotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To characterize the tracking capability and dosimetric accuracy of biology-guided radiotherapy (BgRT) under clinically relevant PET tracer uptake scenarios relative to the background. MATERIALS/METHODS A custom-made anthropomorphic phantom filled with a liquid 18F-FDG solution including two embedded fillable 22 mm diameter spherical structures mimicking GTV (= CTV) and OAR was coupled to motion stages to create an independent 3D respiratory motion with 22 mm maximum range for target and a 5 mm 1D sinusoidal motion in the OAR. The biology-tracking zone (BTZ) was generated by adding 5 mm margin to the motion extent. The three BgRT scenarios studied were representative of tumors with good (8:1), borderline (4:1) and undesired (2:1) PET biodistributions compared to background. The clinical safety limit of BgRT uses Activity Concentration within the BTZ (AC ≥ 5 kBq/ml) and Normalized Target Signal as a contrast metric (NTS ≧ 2.7 for planning and ≧ 2 for delivery). The BgRT deliveries were repeated 3 times with radiochromic film and integrated ion chamber capturing the target and OAR doses. Tracked dosimetry was assessed using a margin-loss calculation defined as the maximum linear difference in distance between the planned and delivered 97% prescription iso-dose lines. RESULTS The imaging-only PET images used to create BgRT plans had an AC of 7.0, 5.3, and 1.6 kBq/ml with an NTS of 6.8, 5.3, and 1.8 for 8:1, 4:1, and 2:1 concentrations, respectively. Qualitatively, the target was not visible on the planning PET images 2:1 loading scenario. At delivery, the mean pre-scan activity concentrations were 6.8, 4.7, and 3.7 kBq/ml with corresponding mean NTS of 3.7, 2.6, 1.5 for 8:1, 4:1 and 2:1 deliveries. The pre-scan values of AC or NTS did not satisfy the clinical system safety limits for 4:1 and 2:1 ratio experiments, but the engineering software allowed for the delivery to capture the resulting doses. The deliveries showed a prescription dose coverage to the CTV of 100% for the 8:1 and 4:1 cases, but 88% for the 2:1 case. When compared to the planned dose values, the delivered minimum doses were -7.6%, -8.6% and -10.9%, whereas the maximum dose differences in CTV were 1.2%, 0% and -4.8% of the planned dose distributions of the 8:1, 4:1 and 2:1 cases, respectively. Calculated margin losses were -2.3, -3.8, and -5.5 mm, for the 8:1, 4:1, and 2:1 cases, respectively. The maximum OAR doses were less than the maximum doses predicted on the bounded DVH curves for all scenarios. CONCLUSION With sufficient tracer uptake in the target, BgRT can deliver tracked dosimetry for targets with a large respiratory motion profile. Both the good BgRT candidate and borderline cases produced clinically acceptable delivered doses, even though the borderline case was flagged by the clinical system safety checks. As expected, the delivered BgRT dose distributions were suboptimal with reduced tumor over background PET contrast.

Abstract
The most precise measurements to date of the _{Λ}^{3}H lifetime τ and Λ separation energy B_{Λ} are obtained using the data sample of Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV collected by ALICE at the LHC. The _{Λ}^{3}H is reconstructed via its charged two-body mesonic decay channel (_{Λ}^{3}H→^{3}He+π^{-} and the charge-conjugate process). The measured values τ=[253±11(stat)±6(syst)] ps and B_{Λ}=[102±63(stat)±67(syst)] keV are compatible with predictions from effective field theories and confirm that the _{Λ}^{3}H structure is consistent with a weakly bound system.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging has been well researched over the last couple of decades and has found many applications in biomedical engineering. This has evinced interest among many scientists in developing this as a compact instrument for biomedical diagnosis. This review discusses various instrumentation developments for PA experimental setups and their applications in the biomedical diagnostic field. It also covers the PA spectral response or PA sensing technique, which uses the spectral information of the PA signal and performs sensing to deliver a fast, cost-effective, and compact screening tool instead of imaging. Primarily, this review provides an overview of PA imaging concepts and the development of hardware instrumentation systems in both the excitation and acquisition stages of this technique. Later, the paper discusses PA sensing, the quantitative spectral parameter extraction from the PA spectrum, and the correlation study of the spectral parameters with the physical parameters of the tissue. This PA sensing technique was used to diagnose various diseases, such as thyroid nodules, breast cancer, renal disorders, and zoonotic diseases, based on the mechanical and biological characteristics of the tissues. The paper culminates with a discussion section that provides future developments that are necessary to take this technique into clinical applications as a quantitative PA imaging technique.

Abstract
The transanal approach to ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (Ta-IPAA) for ulcerative colitis was introduced in 2015 and has since been shown to be a safe and feasible technique, although the impact of this approach on patient function remains unclear. A systematic literature review was performed to identify studies exploring functional outcomes and quality of life after Ta-IPAA. Seven papers were identified, which all demonstrated satisfactory functional outcomes after Ta-IPAA as measured by tools such as Cleveland Global Quality of Life (CGQOL), Oresland Score (OS), Pouch Functional Score (PFS), and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ). Many gaps in the literature were identified including paucity of follow-up data beyond the 1-year mark, lack of fertility and fecundity assessment as functional outcomes, and limited evaluation of objective physiologic anal sphincter function. The Ta-IPAA therefore shows promise for good functional results in the short-term, although further research will be required to evaluate the stability of function over time as the technique becomes increasingly integrated into modern surgical practice.

Abstract
11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11βHSD1) is a drug target to attenuate adverse effects of chronic glucocorticoid excess. It catalyses intracellular regeneration of active glucocorticoids in tissues including brain, liver and adipose tissue (coupled to hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, H6PDH). 11βHSD1 activity in individual tissues is thought to contribute significantly to glucocorticoid levels at those sites, but its local contribution vs glucocorticoid delivery via the circulation is unknown. Here, we hypothesised that hepatic 11βHSD1 would contribute significantly to the circulating pool. This was studied in mice with Cre-mediated disruption of Hsd11b1 in liver (Alac-Cre) vs adipose tissue (aP2-Cre) or whole-body disruption of H6pdh. Regeneration of [9,12,12-2H3]-cortisol (d3F) from [9,12,12-2H3]-cortisone (d3E), measuring 11βHSD1 reductase activity was assessed at steady state following infusion of [9,11,12,12-2H4]-cortisol (d4F) in male mice. Concentrations of steroids in plasma and amounts in liver, adipose tissue and brain were measured using mass spectrometry interfaced with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation or liquid chromatography. Amounts of d3F were higher in liver, compared with brain and adipose tissue. Rates of appearance of d3F were ~6-fold slower in H6pdh-/- mice, showing the importance for whole-body 11βHSD1 reductase activity. Disruption of liver 11βHSD1 reduced the amounts of d3F in liver (by ~36%), without changes elsewhere. In contrast disruption of 11βHSD1 in adipose tissue reduced rates of appearance of circulating d3F (by ~67%) and also reduced regenerated of d3F in liver and brain (both by ~30%). Thus, the contribution of hepatic 11βHSD1 to circulating glucocorticoid levels and amounts in other tissues is less than that of adipose tissue.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer is one of the most fatal cancers worldwide, and malignant tumors are characterized by the growth of abnormal cells in the tissues of lungs. Usually, symptoms of lung cancer do not appear until it is already at an advanced stage. The proper segmentation of cancerous lesions in CT images is the primary method of detection towards achieving a completely automated diagnostic system. METHOD In this work, we developed an improved hybrid neural network via the fusion of two architectures, MobileNetV2 and UNET, for the semantic segmentation of malignant lung tumors from CT images. The transfer learning technique was employed and the pre-trained MobileNetV2 was utilized as an encoder of a conventional UNET model for feature extraction. The proposed network is an efficient segmentation approach that performs lightweight filtering to reduce computation and pointwise convolution for building more features. Skip connections were established with the Relu activation function for improving model convergence to connect the encoder layers of MobileNetv2 to decoder layers in UNET that allow the concatenation of feature maps with different resolutions from the encoder to decoder. Furthermore, the model was trained and fine-tuned on the training dataset acquired from the Medical Segmentation Decathlon (MSD) 2018 Challenge. RESULTS The proposed network was tested and evaluated on 25% of the dataset obtained from the MSD, and it achieved a dice score of 0.8793, recall of 0.8602 and precision of 0.93. It is pertinent to mention that our technique outperforms the current available networks, which have several phases of training and testing.

However, the existence of radiosensitive microorganisms inhabiting such an inhospitable environment is still a mystery. The current study examines the potential of radioresistant microorganisms to protect radiosensitive microorganisms in harsh environments. Bacillus subtilis strain ASM-1 was isolated from the Thal desert in Pakistan and evaluated for antioxidative and radioprotective potential after being exposed to UV radiation. The strain exhibited 54.91% survivability under UVB radiation (5.424 × 103 J/m2 for 8 min) and 50.94% to mitomycin-C (4 µg/mL). Extracellular fractions collected from ASM-1 extracts showed significant antioxidant potential, and chemical profiling revealed a pool of bioactive compounds, including pyrrolopyrazines, amides, alcoholics, and phenolics. The E-2 fraction showed the maximum antioxidant potential via DPPH assay (75%), and H2O2 scavenging assay (68%). A combination of ASM-1 supernatant with E-2 fraction (50 µL in a ratio of 2:1) provided substantial protection to radiosensitive cell types, Bacillus altitudinis ASM-9 (MT722073) and E. coli (ATCC 10536), under UVB radiation. Docking studies reveal that the compound supported by literature against the target proteins have strong binding affinities which further inferred its medical uses in health care treatment. This is followed by molecular dynamic simulations where it was observed among trajectories that there were no significant changes in major secondary structure elements, despite the presence of naturally flexible loops. This behavior can be interpreted as a strategy to enhance intermolecular conformational stability as the simulation progresses. Thus, our study concludes that Bacillus subtilis ASM-1 protects radiosensitive strains from radiation-induced injuries via biofilm formation and secretion of antioxidative and radioprotective compounds in the environment.

Abstract
Widespread environmental contamination caused by huge amounts of wastes generated by human activities has become a critical global concern that requires urgent action. The black soldier fly (BSFL) has gradually been used to treat different wastes due to high efficiency and low cost. However, little information is available regarding the treatment of mixed wastes by BSFLs. The impact of BSFLs on conversion of cow manure (COM) and pig manure (PM) via the incorporation of wet distiller grains (WDG) was assessed. Results demonstrate that the waste reduction rate was increased by 20% by incorporating 45% WDG to COM and PM. The bioconversion rate of BSFLs in COM and PM also increased from 1.20 ± 0.02% and 0.92 ± 0.02% to 10.54 ± 0.06% and 10.05 ± 0.11%, respectively. Total nitrogen content and δ15N/14N ratios of WDG + COM and WDG + PM were found to be significantly lower than those of COM and PM alone (p < 0.01). The organic matter changes during manure degradation were further analyzed by combing ultraviolet-visible spectrum (UV-vis) with excitation-emission matrix (EEM) spectroscopy techniques and fluorescence area integration (FRI) method. The UV-vis spectra results indicate that the addition of WDG to manures resulted in the decreased aromaticity and molecular weight of the waste. EEM spectra demonstrated that the accumulative Pi,n values of regions III and V in COM, COM + WDG, PM, and PM + WDG were 58%, 49%, 52% and 63%, respectively. These results not only provide new insights into the potential of mixed wastes for BSFL treatment but also contribute to the basis for the formulation of effective management measurements that reduce and/or reuse these wastes.

Abstract
The first measurement of event-by-event antideuteron number fluctuations in high energy heavy-ion collisions is presented. The measurements are carried out at midrapidity (|η|<0.8) as a function of collision centrality in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV using the ALICE detector. A significant negative correlation between the produced antiprotons and antideuterons is observed in all collision centralities. The results are compared with a state-of-the-art coalescence calculation. While it describes the ratio of higher order cumulants of the antideuteron multiplicity distribution, it fails to describe quantitatively the magnitude of the correlation between antiproton and antideuteron production. On the other hand, thermal-statistical model calculations describe all the measured observables within uncertainties only for correlation volumes that are different with respect to those describing proton yields and a similar measurement of net-proton number fluctuations.

Abstract
The transverse-momentum (p_{T}) spectra and coalescence parameters B_{2} of (anti)deuterons are measured in p-p collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV for the first time in and out of jets. In this measurement, the direction of the leading particle with the highest p_{T} in the event (p_{T}^{lead}>5 GeV/c) is used as an approximation for the jet axis. The event is consequently divided into three azimuthal regions, and the jet signal is obtained as the difference between the toward region, that contains jet fragmentation products in addition to the underlying event (UE), and the transverse region, which is dominated by the UE. The coalescence parameter in the jet is found to be approximately a factor of 10 larger than that in the underlying event. This experimental observation is consistent with the coalescence picture and can be attributed to the smaller average phase-space distance between nucleons in the jet cone as compared with the underlying event. The results presented in this Letter are compared to predictions from a simple nucleon coalescence model, where the phase-space distributions of nucleons are generated using pythia8 with the Monash 2013 tuning, and to predictions from a deuteron production model based on ordinary nuclear reactions with parametrized energy-dependent cross sections tuned on data. The latter model is implemented in pythia8.3. Both models reproduce the observed large difference between in-jet and out-of-jet coalescence parameters, although the almost flat trend of the B_{2}^{Jet} is not reproduced by the models, which instead give a decreasing trend.

Abstract
The assessment of mutagen induced biological damage forms an important study in determining the mutagenic potency and genotypic sensitivity, a vital aspect in mutation breeding programs. A prior assessment of lethal dose (LD50), mutagen induced biological damage (alterations in bio-physiological traits and frequency of cytological aberrations) is a prerequisite for determining an optimum mutagen dose in a successful mutation breeding experiment. Therefore, in a multi-year project of mutation breeding, two widely cultivated varieties of cowpea viz., Gomati VU-89 and Pusa-578, were treated with gamma (γ) rays and sodium azide (SA) doses. The results reflected a proportionate increase in bio-physiological damages with the increase in mutagenic doses and caused a substantial reduction in mean seed germination and seedling height. Different cytological aberrations such as cytomixis, univalents, chromosome stickiness, precocious separation, unequal separation, bridges, laggards, disturbed polarity, dyads, triads, and polyads were observed in both varieties. All the mutagen doses induced a broader spectrum of cytological aberrations with varying frequencies.

Abstract
Across the globe, plant breeders of different organizations are working in collaboration to bring preferred traits to crops of economic importance. Among the traits, "high yielding potential" is the most important as it is directly associated with food security and nutrition, one of the sustainable development goals. The Food and Agriculture Organization acknowledges plant breeders' role and efforts in achieving local and global food security and nutrition. Recognizing the importance of pulses and increasing pressure on food security, the United Nations General Assembly declared 2016 the "International year of Pulses" owing to their preferred traits such as climate change resilience, wide adaptability, low agriculture input, and protein- and nutrient-rich crops. Keeping all these developments in consideration, we initiated an induced mutagenesis program by treating cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) with different doses of gamma rays and sodium azide aiming to enhance the yielding potential of an otherwise outstanding variety viz., Gomati VU-89 and Pusa-578. We noticed a substantial increase in mean values of agronomic traits in putative mutants raised from seeds treated with lower and intermediate doses of mutagens. Statistical analysis such as correlation, path, hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA), and principal component analysis (PCA) were used to assess the difference between mutagenized and control populations. A significant and positive correlation of yield with yield-attributing traits was recorded. However, among all the yield attributing traits, seeds per pod (SPP) depicted the maximum direct impact upon yield, and therefore, working on this trait may yield better results. A widely used PCA revealed 40.46% and 33.47% of the total variation for var. Gomati VU-89 and var. Pusa-578, respectively. Cluster analysis clustered treated and control populations into separate clusters with variable cluster sizes. Cluster V in the variety Gomati VU-89 and cluster V and VI in the variety Pusa 578 comprised of putative mutants were higher yielding and hence could be recommended for selection in future breeding programs. We expect to release such mutant lines for farmer cultivation in Northern parts of India depending on the performance of such high-yielding mutant lines at multilocations.

Abstract
Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC), a frequent and cumbersome reproductive tract infection affects women's physical and mental health. Although Candida albicans was reported as the most common agent of VVC yet, recently there are significant changes in the pattern of Candida species causing VVC with varying antifungal susceptibility pattern. Therefore this cross-sectional, descriptive type of observational study conducted to identify the spectrum of Candida species associated with VVC and assesses their antifungal susceptibility pattern from March 2021 to February 2022. High vaginal swabs from 175 patients clinically suspected of VVC were collected and cultured on Sabouraud dextrose agar with Chloramphenicol. Species were identified by phenotypic methods like- germ tube test, sub-culture in chromogenic agar media and genotypic methods like- Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Antifungal susceptibility was done by disk diffusion method. Out of 175 patients, 52(29.7%) were positive for Candida species. Of the isolates- C. albicans 34(65.0%), Non albicans Candida (NAC) 18(35.0%). Among NAC, C. glabrata 5(9.6%), C. tropicalis 5(9.6%), C. parapsilosis 4(7.7%) and each of C. krusei, C. kefyr, C. ciferrii, C. dubliniensis were 1(1.9%). On susceptibility testing highest resistance was to Clotrimazole 31.0% followed by Nystatin 13.0%, Itraconazole 12.0% and Fluconazole 10.0%. Resistance to azole was higher in NAC than in albicans. Of these patients, 16(31.0%) had history of recurrent VVC (RVVC) of which 12(75.0%) were by NAC, predominantly C. glabrata 5(32.0%). The results showed the increasing incidence of NAC associated vaginitis with higher resistance and recurrence that should be considered in gynecology clinics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) in BRCA1, BRCA2 and TP53 has been widely associated with breast cancer risk in different ethnicities with inconsistent results. There is no such study conducted so far in the Pashtun population of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Therefore, this study was conducted to check BRCA1 (rs1799950), BRCA2 (rs144848) and TP53 (rs1042522) polymorphism with breast cancer risk in Pashtun population of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. METHODS This study, consisting 140 breast cancer patients and 80 gender and age matched healthy controls were subjected to confirm BRCA1, BRCA2 and TP53 polymorphism. Clinicopathological data and blood samples were taken from all the participants. DNA was extracted and SNPs were confirmed using T-ARMS-PCR protocol. RESULTS Our data indicated that BRCA1, BRCA2, and TP53 selected SNPs risk allele and risk allele containing genotypes displayed significant association (p < 0.05) with breast cancer risk in the Pashtun population of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. CONCLUSION All the three selected SNPs of BRCA1, BRCA2 and TP53 showed significant association with breast cancer risk in the Pashtun population of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. However, more investigation will be required on large data sets to confirm the selected SNPs and other SNPs in the selected and other related genes with the risk of breast cancer.

Abstract
The tumor microenvironment (TME), which includes both cellular and non-cellular elements, is now recognized as one of the major regulators of the development of primary tumors, the metastasis of which occurs to specific organs, and the response to therapy. Development of immunotherapy and targeted therapies have increased knowledge of cancer-related inflammation Since the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCB) limit immune cells from entering from the periphery, it has long been considered an immunological refuge. Thus, tumor cells that make their way "to the brain were believed to be protected from the body's normal mechanisms of monitoring and eliminating them. In this process, the microenvironment and tumor cells at different stages interact and depend on each other to form the basis of the evolution of tumor brain metastases. This paper focuses on the pathogenesis, microenvironmental changes, and new treatment methods of different types of brain metastases. Through the systematic review and summary from macro to micro, the occurrence and development rules and key driving factors of the disease are revealed, and the clinical precision medicine of brain metastases is comprehensively promoted. Recent research has shed light on the potential of TME-targeted and potential treatments for treating Brain metastases, and we'll use that knowledge to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke, accounting for more than 37 million cases worldwide. In AF, the left atrial appendage (LAA) is the most common site of thrombus formation, and its ligation/closure with the WATCHMAN device is a good alternative to long-term oral anticoagulation, especially in patients with contraindications to warfarin. However, the implantation procedure is associated with various risks and complications. A short-term anticoagulant and antithrombotic administration are essential after implantation. However, no consensus has been reached on the optimal regimen. The WATCHMAN device is non-inferior to warfarin and is a safe alternative for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolization related to non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Important procedure-related complications include pericardial effusion (PE), device embolization, procedure-related ischemic stroke, and device-related thrombosis (DRT) formation. It is essential to optimize post-implantation therapy according to individual patient bleeding risk, DRT formation, and contraindication to direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). Recent studies have also shown that DOACs are a convenient and non-inferior substitute for warfarin. Furthermore, patients with absolute contraindications to OACs/DOACs can only be managed with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) should be used to assess residual peridevice flow and possible DRT formation at days 45 and 12 months. Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and OAC are excellent choices for DRT treatment if detected. This review summarizes the most important complications of the WATCHMAN device in the existing literature and discusses various anticoagulation strategies and challenges post-implementation.

Abstract
This study aims to determine UV-B resistance and to investigate computational analysis and antioxidant potential of methoxy-flavones of Micromonospora aurantiaca TMC-15 isolated from Thal Desert, Pakistan. The cellular extract was purified through solid-phase extraction and UV-Vis spectrum analysis indicated absorption peaks at λmax 250 nm, 343 nm, and 380 nm that revealed the presence of methoxy-flavones named eupatilin and 5-hydroxyauranetin. The flavones were evaluated for their antioxidant as well as protein and lipid peroxidation inhibition potential using di(phenyl)-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl) iminoazanium (DPPH), 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine (DNPH), and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assays, respectively. The methoxy-flavones were further studied for their docking affinity and interaction dynamics to determine their structural and energetic properties at the atomic level. The antioxidant potential, protein, and lipid oxidation inhibition and DNA damage preventive abilities were correlated as predicted by computational analysis. The eupatilin and 5-hydroxyauranetin binding potential to their targeted proteins 1N8Q and 1OG5 is - 4.1 and - 7.5 kcal/mol, respectively. Moreover, the eupatiline and 5-hydroxyauranetin complexes illustrate van der Waals contacts and strong hydrogen bonds to their respective enzymes target. Both in vitro studies and computational analysis results revealed that methoxy-flavones of Micromonospora aurantiaca TMC-15 can be used against radiation-mediated oxidative damages due to its kosmotrophic nature. The demonstration of good antioxidant activities not only protect DNA but also protein and lipid oxidation and therefore could be a good candidate in radioprotective drugs and as sunscreen due to its kosmotropic nature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The long-term application of tunneled central venous catheters leads to the development of firm adhesions between the wall of the vein and the catheter, which makes removal of the catheter difficult or impossible. The treatment options in such cases include abandonment of catheter parts or an open surgical approach up to sternotomy. At present, procedural alternatives are available, which include endovascular techniques such as the use of laser energy and endoluminal dilatation. METHODS This article describes the successful application of endoluminal dilatation for removal of ingrown central venous catheters in three patients, which had impacted in the superior vena cava and brachiocephalic vein. A 5 Fr (Cordis, Santa Clara, CA, USA) sheath was inserted into one lumen through the severed end of the double lumen catheter. Subsequently, a balloon catheter was inserted into the other lumen to prevent retrograde bleeding or air embolism. Under fluoroscopy a guidewire (0.018, Terumo Medical Corporation, Somerset, New Jersey, USA) was introduced via the sheath to beyond the tip of the hemodialysis catheter into the right atrium. Finally, an angioplasty balloon was inserted (4 × 80 mm) via the guidewire and the complete catheter was sequentially inflated with a pressure of 4 atm. It was then possible to pull out the catheter with no difficulty. RESULTS This technique resulted in the removal of the central venous catheters in all three patients, without any relevant complications or resistance. CONCLUSION By dissolving adhesions between the catheter and the vein wall, endoluminal balloon dilatation constitutes a reliable and safe technique for the extraction of impacted central venous hemodialysis catheters and may thus help to avoid further invasive surgical procedures.
