Abstract
Cardiac physiologic pacing (CPP), encompassing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and conduction system pacing (CSP), has emerged as a pacing therapy strategy that may mitigate or prevent the development of heart failure (HF) in patients with ventricular dyssynchrony or pacing-induced cardiomyopathy. This clinical practice guideline is intended to provide guidance on indications for CRT for HF therapy and CPP in patients with pacemaker indications or HF, patient selection, pre-procedure evaluation and preparation, implant procedure management, follow-up evaluation and optimization of CPP response, and use in pediatric populations. Gaps in knowledge, pointing to new directions for future research, are also identified.

Abstract
Cardiac physiologic pacing (CPP), encompassing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and conduction system pacing (CSP), has emerged as a pacing therapy strategy that may mitigate or prevent the development of heart failure (HF) in patients with ventricular dyssynchrony or pacing-induced cardiomyopathy. This clinical practice guideline is intended to provide guidance on indications for CRT for HF therapy and CPP in patients with pacemaker indications or HF, patient selection, pre-procedure evaluation and preparation, implant procedure management, follow-up evaluation and optimization of CPP response, and use in pediatric populations. Gaps in knowledge, pointing to new directions for future research, are also identified.

Abstract
The popularity of weight training, bodybuilding and general physical conditioning has led to an increased rate of musculoskeletal injuries, such as nerve compression caused by muscle hypertrophy and, stretching of nerves peripherally. We present a case of anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) entrapment syndrome/neuropathy otherwise known as Kiloh-Nevin syndrome in a 22-year-old weightlifter. Knowledge of this injury is paramount for practitioners to increase awareness among athletes and bodybuilders.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects a huge portion of the world's population and frequently leads to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). It might be because of common risk factors between chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular diseases. Renal dysfunction caused by chronic kidney disease creates oxidative stress which in turn leads to cardiovascular diseases. Oxidative stress causes endothelial dysfunction and inflammation in heart which results in atherosclerosis. It ends in clogging of veins and arteries that causes cardiac stroke and myocardial infarction. To develop an innovative therapeutic approach and new drugs to treat these diseases, it is important to understand the pathophysiological mechanism behind the CKD and CVDs and their interrelationship. Natural phytoconstituents of plants such as polyphenolic compounds are well known for their medicinal value. Polyphenols are plant secondary metabolites with immense antioxidant properties, which can protect from free radical damage. Nowadays, polyphenols are generating a lot of buzz in the scientific community because of their potential health benefits especially in the case of heart and kidney diseases. This review provides a detailed account of the pathophysiological link between CKD and CVDs and the pharmacological potential of polyphenols and their nanoformulations in promoting cardiovascular and renal health.

Abstract
Soft tissue deposits, also known as tumour deposits (TDs), have not been studied well in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and are not included in any of the staging systems or treatment guidelines. The aim of this systematic review was to determine the prevalence and prognostic implications of TDs in patients with HNSCC. This systematic review of the literature was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. The PubMed, Embase, and Scopus electronic databases were searched for relevant studies, from inception to August 2022. Although 14 studies qualified for inclusion, only eight were finally included in the review due to the considerable overlap of patients in several studies. Data from 7127 patients were analysed. The pooled prevalence of TDs was 21% (95% confidence interval (CI) 9-33%). The presence of TDs was adversely associated with overall survival and disease-free survival, with hazard ratios of 2.08 (95% CI 1.60-2.70) and 2.56 (95% CI 1.97-3.32), respectively. TDs are detected in a significant number of patients with HNSCC and adversely affect survival. Longitudinal prospective studies are needed to evaluate the prognostic implications of TDs in HNSCC for their potential role in cancer staging and adjuvant treatment planning.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a highly prevalent chronic inflammatory disease that progressively destroys the structures supporting teeth, leading to tooth loss. Periodontal tissue is innervated by abundant pain-sensing primary afferents expressing neuropeptides and transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1). However, the roles of nociceptive nerves in periodontitis and bone destruction are controversial. The placement of ligature around the maxillary second molar or the oral inoculation of pathogenic bacteria induced alveolar bone destruction in mice. Chemical ablation of nociceptive neurons in the trigeminal ganglia achieved by intraganglionic injection of resiniferatoxin decreased bone loss in mouse models of experimental periodontitis. Consistently, ablation of nociceptive neurons decreased the number of osteoclasts in alveolar bone under periodontitis. The roles of nociceptors were also determined by the functional inhibition of TRPV1-expressing trigeminal afferents using an inhibitory designer receptor exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADD) receptor. Noninvasive chemogenetic functional silencing of TRPV1-expressing trigeminal afferents not only decreased induction but also reduced the progression of bone loss in periodontitis. The infiltration of leukocytes and neutrophils to the periodontium increased at the site of ligature, which was accompanied by increased amount of proinflammatory cytokines, such as receptor activator of nuclear factor κΒ ligand, tumor necrosis factor, and interleukin 1β. The extents of increase in immune cell infiltration and cytokines were significantly lower in mice with nociceptor ablation. In contrast, the ablation of nociceptors did not alter the periodontal microbiome under the conditions of control and periodontitis. Altogether, these results indicate that TRPV1-expressing afferents increase bone destruction in periodontitis by promoting hyperactive host responses in the periodontium. We suggest that specific targeting of neuroimmune and neuroskeletal regulation can offer promising therapeutic targets for periodontitis supplementing conventional treatments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate quality of life (QoL) and association with surgical complexity and disease burden after surgical resection for advanced ovarian cancer in centres with variation in surgical approach DESIGN: Prospective multicentre observational study SETTING: United Kingdom, Kolkata, India, and Melbourne, Australia gynaecological cancer surgery centres. PARTICIPANTS Patients undergoing surgical resection for late stage ovarian cancer. Exposure Low, intermediate or high Surgical Complexity Score (SCS) surgery MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Primary: EORTC-QLQ-C30 Global score change. Secondary: EORTC OV28, progression free survival. RESULTS Patients' pre-operative disease burden and SCS varied between centres, confirming differences in surgical ethos. QoL response rates were 90% up to 18 months. Mean change from the pre-surgical baseline in the EORTC QLQ-C30 was 3.4 (SD 1.8, n=88) in the low, 4.0 (SD 2.1, n=55) in the intermediate and 4.3 (SD 2.1, n=52) in the high SCS group after 6 weeks (p=0.048) and 4.3 (SD 2.1, n=51), 5.1 (SD 2.2, n=41) and 5.1 (SD 2.2, n=35) respectively after 12 months (p=0.133). In a repeated measures model, there were no clinically or statistically meaningful differences in EORTC QLQ-C30 global scores between the three SCS groups, p= 0.840 but there was a small statistically significant improvement in all groups over time (p<0.001). The high SCS group experienced small to moderate decreases in physical (p=0.004), role (p=0.016) and emotional (p=0.001) function at 6 weeks post-surgery which resolved by 6-12 months. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Global QoL of patients undergoing low, intermediate, and high SCS surgery improved at 12 months post operation and was no worse in patients undergoing extensive surgery.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the response of locoregional therapy (LRT) on combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHC) and compare their outcomes with propensity matched hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2011 to July 2020, 13 patients with cHCC-CC (11 men, two women, median age 56 years) and 15 IHC patients (10 men, five women, median age 60 years) were compared with 101 HCC patients (79 men, 22 women, median age 60 years) after LRT. All tumours were proven histologically. Among the 13 cHCC-CC patients, 11 received transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE), one received microwave ablation (MWA) and one received TACE with radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Of 15 IHC patients, eight received TACE, five received RFA, and one received MWA, and one received TACE with RFA. Propensity score matching (PSM) was done with conditional logistic regression adjusted for age, type of LRT, tumour specific features and Child-Pugh score. RESULTS After LRT, on univariate analysis an objective response was seen in 30% of cHCC-CC and 53% of IHC patients. PSM analysis demonstrated shorter progression-free survival (PFS; cHCC-CC versus HCC: 1.5 versus 7.5 months; IHC versus HCC: 6 versus 14 months, p<0.05), overall survival (OS; cHCC-CC versus HCC: 12 versus 28 months; IHC versus HCC: 18 versus 34 months, p<0.005), and poor objective response (cHCC-CC versus HCC: 25% versus 91%; IHC versus HCC: 58% versus 88%, p<0.05) in cHCC-CC and IHC patients versus HCC patients. Hypovascular tumour, macrovascular invasion, and infiltrative appearance were independent prognostic factors for OS in IHC patients. CONCLUSION cHCC-CC and IHC are aggressive tumours with a poor objective response, greater distant progression of the disease and shorter PFS and OS post LRT as compared to HCC.

BACKGROUND The arrival of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic disrupted life suddenly and forcefully, and healthcare systems around the world are still struggling to come to terms with it. This paper reviews the impact of the pandemic on ENT practice and training. METHODS The present manuscript was developed as a narrative review to examine the role of otorhinolaryngologists in the management of the pandemic, and assess its impact on practice and training in the specialty. RESULTS Otorhinolaryngologists handle secretions of organs implicated in disease transmission, leaving them particularly vulnerable even while performing simple procedures. Although the pandemic increased skill expectations, it simultaneously reduced learning opportunities for trainees. In addition, attention to emergencies has been delayed. Further, the suspension of elective procedures has affected patients with malignancies. CONCLUSION While planning service resumption, provisions need to be made for protective equipment and training; improving teleconsultation services will help provide sustainable care during further waves.

Abstract
Background As per the literature, patients with intraventricular conduction delay (IVCD) do not respond well to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) alone. They need advanced technological approach and out of the box thinking for a good response. Case Ours is a case of ischemic cardiomyopathy with wide QRS-IVCD, a non-responder to CRT. While planning for replacement of the device for early replacement indicator (ERI), we decided to do His-optimized CRT/left bundle optimized CRT (HOT-CRT/LOT-CRT) for the patient. Conclusion The challenges we faced with the present available hardware paved a way for insisting on the limitation of the available lumenless lead to penetrate calcified the septum and importance of the pre-procedure evaluation of intraventricular septum (IVS) for calcification by more than just echocardiography.

Abstract
Although the conventional methods for endo-cardial pacemaker lead implantation via subclavian or cephalic or axillary vein routes is common, but sometimes due to anatomical variations it is not feasible to access these veins Emergence of newer techniques are useful for lead implantation. This case report focuses on a hybrid approach of combined mini-thoracotomy for endocardial pacemaker lead implantation. This fluoroscopy guided minimal thoracotomy approach with endocardial MRI compatible lead placement had the benefits of simple procedural, minimal hospital stay, low early complication rates and economically viable to the patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The hypoplastic coronary sinus (CS) is a rare anomaly of the cardiac venous system, wherein some of the tributaries fail to join the CS. These tributaries usually drain into atrial chambers through dilated thebesian channels. We report the first case where the tributaries are draining into the right superior vena cava (SVC). CASE SUMMARY A case of ischemic cardiomyopathy with severe LV systolic dysfunction with NYHA class III symptoms was taken for CRTD implantation. CS venogram after direct cannulation from left subclavian access revealed a hypoplastic CS. The part of CS beyond the attachment of the oblique vein of the left atrium to CS (distal to the posterolateral vein) formed a common channel and was draining into the right-sided SVC. The posterolateral vein was of sufficient caliber so that an left ventricle (LV) lead could be implanted, and the CRTD procedure could be completed. DISCUSSION Hypoplastic CS though has no pathological significance in the normal population but for CRT it can become a significant limitation. Tributaries of CS draining into right SVC are the rarest of the finding, the channel draining most likely is a remnant of the splanchnic plexus around the embryonic foregut that usually has a temporary communication with cardinal veins during intrauterine growth. This communication somehow has persisted and resulted in a channel between coronary vein and the SVC, which may be referred to as coronary veno-cardinal vein.

Abstract
Thermal Non-Destructive Testing and Evaluation (TNDT&E) plays a crucial role in industrial quality control and structural health monitoring of a variety of materials. Among various TNDT&E modalities, active Infrared Thermography (IRT) has emerged as an extremely promising approach and has gained enormous significance due to its quick, whole field, non-contact and quantitative defect detection capabilities. Pulse Compression favourable Thermal Wave Imaging (PCTWI) especially Frequency Modulated Thermal Wave Imaging (FMTWI) has become popular among a number of active IRT techniques because of increment in defect detection sensitivity as well as test resolution. The present work attempts to explore the applicability of differential filtering post processing scheme for pulse compression favourable FMTWI for enhanced detection contrast, resolution and Probability of Detection (PoD). The proposed scheme has been applied on a Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) sample with sub-surface flat bottom hole (FBH) defects located inside the sample at different depths. The results presented clearly demonstrate that the differential contrast approach enhances the defect detection probabilities by considering maximum and minimum deviation dip values as a figure of merit. Hence, pulse compression favourable FMTWI employing differential filtering manifests higher Probability of Detection (PoD) for defects located at different depths as compared to taking into account the peak Correlation Coefficient (CC) as a statistical figure of merit. Further Probability of Detection (PoD) of the pulse compression favourable FMTWI technique has been improved by differential filtering post-processing based scheme that reduces the memory requirement, computational cost as well as complexity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neonatal antibiotic use is associated with a greater risk of nosocomial infection, necrotizing enterocolitis, and mortality. It can induce drug-resistant pathogens that contribute to increased neonatal morbidity/mortality, healthcare costs, and length of stay. Prior to the antibiotic stewardship program, decisions to obtain blood cultures and empiric antibiotics for possible Early-onset Sepsis (EOS) in late preterm and term infants upon NICU admission were provider-dependent rather than algorithm-based. We aimed to decrease empiric antibiotic prescription from 70% to 56% (20% decrease) in infants ≥34 weeks gestation admitted to the NICU. METHODS The stewardship initiative comprised the following practice changes: (1) use of the Neonatal Sepsis Risk Calculator (SRC); and (2) a 36-hour time-out for prescribed empiric antibiotics. Data was retrospectively collected and analyzed for inborn infants pre-intervention (January 2015-December 2015; n = 263) and post-intervention (August 2016-September 2017; n = 279). Data regarding compliance with the new antibiotic guideline were collected and disseminated to the team every week. Overlap between CDC guidelines and calculator recommendations were studied. RESULTS Pre-and post-intervention outcomes were analyzed using chi-square tests. There was a significant post-intervention reduction in the rate of both antibiotic prescriptions (29.4% decline; 70.3% vs. 49.6%; p < 0.001) and sepsis evaluations (24.3% decline; 90.9% vs. 68.8%; p < 0.001). No difference (p = 0.271) in culture-positive EOS cases was observed. There was 92% overlap in blood culture recommendations and 95% overlap between antibiotic recommendations when current CDC guidelines were compared to the SRC. CONCLUSION A significant reduction in antibiotic use and sepsis evaluations was achieved for late preterm and term infants upon NICU admission. No clinical deterioration occurred in post-intervention infants who did not receive antibiotics. There is significant overlap between CDC guidelines and SRC recommendations.

Abstract
Aim A national atrial fibrillation (AF) registry was conducted under the aegis of the Indian Heart Rhythm Society (IHRS), to capture epidemiological data-type of AF, clinical presentation and comorbidities, current treatment practices, and 1-year follow-up outcomes. Methods A total of 1537 patients were enrolled from 24 sites in India in the IHRS-AF registry from July 2011 to August 2012. Their baseline characteristics and follow-up data were recorded in case report forms and subsequently analyzed. Results The average age of Indian AF patients was 54.7 years. There was a marginal female preponderance – 51.5% females and 48.5% males. At baseline, 20.4% had paroxysmal AF; 33% had persistent AF; 35.1% had permanent AF and 11% had first AF episode. At one-year follow-up, 45.6% patients had permanent AF. Rheumatic valvular heart disease (RHD) was present in 47.6% of patients. Hypertension, heart failure, coronary artery disease, and diabetes were seen in 31.4%, 18.7%, 16.2%, and 16.1%, respectively. Rate control was the strategy used in 75.2% patients, digoxin and beta-blockers being the most frequently prescribed rate-control drugs. Oral anticoagulation (OAC) drugs were used in 70% of patients. The annual mortality was 6.5%, hospitalization 8%, and incidence of stroke 1%. Conclusions In India, AF patients are younger and RHD is still the most frequent etiology. Almost two-third of the patients have persistent/permanent AF. At one-year follow-up, there is a significant mortality and morbidity in AF patients in India.

Abstract
Microtia, malformation, deformity, and partial or complete loss of the pinna may be due to various congenital or acquired factors. In adult patients, surgical reconstruction of the missing pinna is difficult and the results are often far from satisfactory. An implant-retained auricular prosthesis is a suitable alternative. A retrospective study of eight patients treated with implant-retained auricular prostheses was performed. For each missing pinna, three titanium implants were placed in the temporal bone. After 6 months of osseointegration, the implants were loaded. Four cases were rehabilitated with a magnet-retained prosthesis and the remaining four with a bar and clip retained prosthesis. There were six male and two female patients with an average age of 30.62 years. Seven patients had unilateral absence of the pinna and one had bilateral absence. The loss was due to trauma in four patients and to burn in one patient, and three had congenital absence. A total 27 implants were placed, 12 on the right side and 15 on the left. The average post-rehabilitation follow-up was 21 months. Peri-implant tissue reactions were observed at two sites. The implant-retained auricular prosthesis is an alternative treatment approach with good retention and patient satisfaction. Long-term follow-up is required to assess delayed complications.

Abstract
Electrocardiographic monitoring represents one of the most reliable and time-tested methods for reducing ambiguity in cardiac arrhythmia diagnosis. In India, the resting ECG is generally the first tool of choice for in-clinic diagnosis. The external loop recorder (ELR) is another useful tool that compounds the advantages of traditional tools by coupling ambulatory monitoring with a long-term window. Thus, the objective was to test the use of a 7-day ELR for arrhythmia diagnosis in India for a broad range of presenting symptoms. In this study set in the Indian healthcare environment, an auto-triggered, wireless patch-type ELR was used with 125 patients (62.5 ± 16.7 years, 76 males) presenting a broad range of symptoms. Eighty percent of the symptoms were related to syncope, presyncope or palpitations. Patients were administered an ELR for 7-28 days depending on the physician's prescription. Prespecified significant arrhythmias included sinus pause >2 s, symptomatic bradycardia <40 b.p.m., second-degree (and higher) AV block, complete heart block, ventricular fibrillation, sustained/nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (>3 beats), atrial fibrillation (chronic or paroxysmal), atrial flutter and supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) >130 b.p.m. Diagnostic yield was 38% when a stringent tabulation methodology considering only clinically significant arrhythmia was used. When first-degree AV block, premature atrial and ventricular beats, couplets (both atrial and ventricular in origin), bigeminy or trigeminy, or sudden changes in rate (noted as sinus arrhythmia) were included in the calculation, diagnostic yield was 80%. Patient compliance was 98%; patients wore the patch for the entire prescribed monitoring period without disruption. Seventy percent of the reported symptoms corresponded with an arrhythmia. Use of the ELR led to therapy change in 24% of patients: 15 patients went on to receive an implantable cardioverter defibrillator or pacemaker, 4 received ablation therapy and 11 altered their medication after diagnosis. This study demonstrates that a high diagnostic yield for clinically significant arrhythmias and high patient compliance can be achieved with a wearable patch monitor in Indian patients suffering from a variety of symptoms.

Abstract
PURPOSE To profile the etiology, clinical outcomes and drug sensitivity patterns in endophthalmitis caused by Acinetobacter baumanni. METHODS Retrospective analysis of all the cases of Acinetobacter baumanni endophthalmitis presenting to tertiary referral care ophthalmic hospital in Eastern India from January 2009 to December 2011 were done. RESULTS A total of four cases were included in the study. Out of the four cases one was post traumatic and the rest were post cataract surgery. All the cases underwent vitreoretinal surgical intervention followed by intravitreal antibiotics. A. Baumanni was isolated from vitreous in all the cases. Among all the drugs tested bacteria were found sensitive to ciprofloxacin (100 %) whereas all tested resistant to ceftazidime. Out of the four cases one had to be eviscerated, another developed retinal detachment post vitrectomy, one was phthisical at final followup, and only one patient achieved a vision of 20/200 with clear media and attached retina at final visit. CONCLUSION A. Baumanni is a very rare cause of endophthalmitis with poor visual and anatomical outcomes. Ciprofloxacin should be considered as first the line intravitreal antibiotic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The phenotype of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Asian Indians is more severe as compared with that in Caucasians. The reason is not clear. In this context, we studied serum levels of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interlekin-10 (IL-10). Their interrelations and correlation with SLEDAI scores were evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty patients with active SLE and 40 controls were studied. The mean SLEDAI score and anti-ds DNA level of the patients were 21.45 ± 8.61 and 176.68 ± 81.31 (IU/ml), respectively. Cytokines were estimated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS In controls, the levels of IFN-γ were highest, followed by TNF-α, IL-10 & IL-4. In patients, however, the levels of TNF-α were highest, followed by IFN-γ, IL-10 & IL-4. IL-10 and IL-4 correlated negatively, and IFN-γ and TNF-α correlated positively with the SLEDAI scores. As compared with controls, in patients, the mean values of TNF-α, IL-10 and TNF-α/IL-10 ratio were higher by 6.9, 2.9 and 2.3 times, respectively (p < 0.001). Significant positive correlation was found between these two cytokines in patients (r = 0.327, p < 0.05) but not in controls. The levels and ratio of IL-4 and IFN-γ were comparable between patients and controls. These two cytokines correlated negatively both in controls (r = -0.358, p < 0.05) and patients (r = -0.990, p < 0.001). The ratio of TNF-α/IL-4 was 4.2 times higher, and those of IFN-γ/IL-4 and IFN-γ/IL-10 were 1.89 and 3.40 times lower in patients as compared with controls. A positive correlation between IL-10 and IL-4 (r = 0.345, p < 0.05) and a negative correlation between IL-10 and IFN-γ (r = -0.382, p < 0.05) were observed only in patients. CONCLUSION This study showed a distinct profile of cytokine imbalance in patients with SLE from the northern plains of India. The levels, ratios and correlations of cytokines in patients suggested significant deviation from normal. Correlations of cytokines with SLEDAI scores indicated that TNF-α contributes significantly to the pathological manifestations of SLE in patients from the region. A detailed study is warranted.
