Abstract
Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is the widely detected plasticizer in foods whose exposure is associated with a myriad of human disorders. The present study focused on identifying Lactobacillus strains with high adsorption potential towards DEHP and further elucidating the mechanism of binding using HPLC, FTIR and SEM. Two strains, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Lactobacillus plantarum MTCC 25,433, were found to rapidly adsorb more than 85% of DEHP in 2 h. Binding potential remained unaffected by heat treatment. Moreover, acid pre-treatment enhanced the DEHP adsorption. Chemical pre-treatments, such as NaIO4, pronase E or lipase, caused reduction in DEHP adsorption to 46% (LGG), 49% (MTCC 25,433) and 62% (MTCC 25,433), respectively, attributing it to cell wall polysaccharides, proteins and lipids. This was also corroborated by stretching vibrations of C = O, N-H, C-N and C-O functional groups. Furthermore, SDS and urea pre-treatment, demonstrated the crucial role of hydrophobic interactions in DEHP adsorption. The extracted peptidoglycan from LGG and MTCC 25,433 adsorbed 45% and 68% of DEHP, respectively, revealing the imperative role of peptidoglycan and its integrity in DEHP adsorption. These findings indicated that DEHP removal was based on physico-chemical adsorption and cell wall proteins, polysaccharides or peptidoglycan played a primary role in its adsorption. Owing to the high binding efficiency, L. rhamnosus GG and L. plantarum MTCC 25,433 were considered to be a potential detoxification strategy to mitigate the risk associated with the consumption of DEHP-contaminated foods.

Abstract
Exposure to benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), a major global food safety concern, is often associated with increasing incidence of colorectal cancers. This in-vitro study was focused on the identification of potential B[a]P-adsorbing Lactobacillus strains and evaluation of the ameliorative effect of synbiotic combination of selected Lactobacillus sp. and polyphenols (quercetin or resveratrol) against B[a]P-induced intestinal toxicity in Caco-2 cells. Preliminary studies lead to the selection of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum MTCC 25433 strain that showed 86% of B[a]P adsorption in 2 h as compared to L. rhamnosus GG that showed 74% of B[a]P adsorption. B[a]P adsorption by MTCC 25433 was reduced to 9%, 16% and 20% upon pre-treatment with SDS, NaIO4 and mutanolysin, attributing the involvement of cell wall proteins and polysaccharides in the adsorption. Additionally, peptidoglycan of both strains adsorbed >50% of B[a]P. In-vitro assays revealed that the selected LAB mitigated the B[a]P-induced epithelial cell damage. Among the polyphenols, quercetin, resveratrol and curcumin, varied in their potency to mitigate B[a]P-induced oxidative stress, with curcumin being least effective. Combinations of selected Lactobacillus sp. and polyphenols were more potent in averting B[a]P-induced toxicity via increase in GSH (17-30 %), SOD (50-88 %), catalase (19-45 %), and reduction in IL-8 secretion (14-28 %) and barrier dysfunction. Principal component analysis affirmed the superior potency of combination of L. plantarum MTCC 25433 and quercetin in averting B[a]P-induced toxicity. Overall, this study highlighted a novel promising strategy of synbiotic combination of Lactobacillus sp. and polyphenols (quercetin or resveratrol) in alleviating the B[a]P-induced toxicity in intestinal epithelial cells.

Abstract
The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) raises questions on qualified presumptive safety status and poses challenge of AMR transmission in food milieu. This study focuses on isolation, identification and characterization of AMR in LAB prevalent in traditional fermented Indian food products. The analysis of 16SrRNA based phylogenetic tree showed placements of isolates among four different genera Lactobacillus, Enterococcus, Weissella and Leuconostoc. In E-strip gradient test of susceptibility to 14 different antibiotics, over 50% of isolates showed resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, kanamycin, linezolid, streptomycin, trimethoprim and vancomycin. A multivariate principal component analysis, an antibiogram and multiple antibiotic resistance index-values (> 0.2) indicated presence of multidrug-resistance among the isolates. This study reports prevalence of an alarmingly high rate of AMR LAB strains in traditional fermented foods and is important to regulators and public health authorities for developing strategies to control transmission in food systems.

Abstract
Chevon Seekh Kabab is a popular meat product of India. However, due to high protein and moisture content it undergoes quick microbial spoilage and oxidative reactions leading to lower shelf life. The combination of chitosan edible film and cinnamon essential oil (CEO) was chosen to remediate this problem because of its antimicrobial and antioxidative effect. Control and chitosan edible film with CEO coated chevon Seekh Kabab samples were stored at 4 °C. The physicochemical (pH, TBARS, TVBN, moisture, colour), microbiological (APC, psychrophilic, coliform and Staphylococcal count) and sensory attributes were evaluated over a 30 days period. The maximum shelf life of 27 days was observed when 2% chitosan edible film with 0.3% CEO was coated over samples. A reduction in moisture, L* value, a* value and sensory scores along with an increase in pH, TVBN, TBARS, b* value and microbiological parameters were observed during the storage period. Reaction kinetics for the physicochemical and microbiological parameters was also established. The physicochemical, microbiological and sensory parameters were within prescribed limits till spoilage in the treated sample. This investigation may aid researchers working on scaling up of processing and preservation of Seekh Kabab.

Abstract
Lactobacillus is a widely used bacteria and consumed through various fermented foods and beverages. Strains have been shown to carry resistance genes and mobile genetic elements with their ability to transfer the resistance to sensitive pathogenic strains. To study this, 4 cultures of Lactobacillus were isolated from traditional fermented milk. The isolates were able to grow up to 4% (w/v) NaCl concentration and 45 °C temperature, and showed > 97% 16S rRNA gene similarities with Lactobacillus fermentum. All the isolates were phenotypically screened for the presence of antibiotic resistance. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) as microbiological breakpoints were observed against a varied class of antibiotics. Isolates AKO 94.6, DVM 95.7, and NIFTEM 95.8 were explicitly resistant to ampicillin, ciprofloxacin and vancomycin with MIC well beyond the maximum range of 256 µg/ml in the E-strip test. While isolate SKL1 was sensitive to ampicillin and showed MIC at 0.25 µg/ml but resistant to streptomycin and trimethoprim (MIC > 256 µg/ml). Molecular characterization showed the presence of tet(M) gene in three isolates SKL1, DVM 95.7, and NIFTEM 95.8 which was chromosomally associated resistance determinants while erm(B) resistance gene was detected in isolates DVM 95.7 and NIFTEM 95.8 only which was a plasmid associated gene and could be transferrable conjugally. Gene for Tn916 family (xis) was also observed in isolates DVM 95.7 and NIFTEM 95.8. Transferability of antibiotic resistance to pathogenic recipient strains was examined in isolates DVM 95.7 and NIFTEM 95.8 in different food matrices. The highest conjugation frequency with ~ 10-1 was obtained in alfalfa seed sprouts. This study reports the presence of acquired gene resistance in Lactobacillus species and dissemination to susceptible strains of bacteria in different food matrices. 16S rRNA gene sequences of isolates were uploaded to the NCBI GenBank database to retrieve the accession number.

Abstract
Prokaryotic organisms frequently use riboswitches to quantify intracellular metabolite concentration via high-affinity metabolite receptors. Riboswitches possess a metabolite-sensing system that controls gene regulation in a cis-acting fashion at the initiation of transcriptional/translational level by binding with a specific metabolite and controlling various biochemical pathways. Riboswitch binds with flavin mononucleotide (FMN), a phosphorylated form of riboflavin and controls gene expression involved in riboflavin biosynthesis and transport pathway. The first step of the riboflavin biosynthesis pathway is initiated by the conversion of guanine nucleotide triphosphate (GTP), which is an intermediate of the purine biosynthesis pathway. An alternative pentose phosphate pathway of riboflavin biosynthesis includes the enzymatic conversion of ribulose-5-phosphate into 3, 4 dihydroxy-2-butanone-4-phosphates by DHBP synthase. The product of ribAB interferes with both GTP cyclohydrolase II as well as DHBP synthase activities, which catalyze the cleavage of GTP and converts DHBP Ribu5P in the initial steps of both riboflavin biosynthesis branches. Riboswitches are located in the 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) of messenger RNAs and contain an aptamer domain (highly conserved in sequence) where metabolite binding leads to a conformational change in an aptamer domain, which modulate the regulation of gene expression located on bacterial mRNA. In this review, we focus on how riboswitch regulates the riboflavin biosynthesis pathway in Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus plantarum.

Abstract
Gluten-enteropathy affects a significant number of people, making gluten a major concern in the food industry. With medical advancements, the diagnosis of allergies is becoming easier, and people who are allergic to gluten are recommended a complete gluten-free diet. Since wheat provides a major part of the energy and nutrition in the diet, its elimination affects nutrition intake of allergic population. Food scientists are working to formulate products using protein-rich gluten-free grains with quality attributes at par with gluten-containing products. Focused research has been done to provide nutrition and a variety of food to people suffering from gluten-related disorders. Efforts are being made to remove the gluten from the wheat and other gluten-containing grains, while applying different processing/treatments to enhance the properties of gluten-free grains. Hence, the present review summarizes the importance, processing, and products of different gluten-free grains. It also highlights the digestibility of gluten-free grains with clinical trials and gluten elimination strategies for gluten-containing grains.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim
In recent years, the GKT School of Medical Education has introduced a new curriculum resulting in a shift from a single surgical block to an integrated approach. After recognising the potential challenges that the lack of standardisation across various hospitals may cause, we created the Surgical Handbook to supplement learning, improve confidence in approaching surgical patients and prepare students for the United Kingdom Foundation Programme (UKFP).
Method
We sought authorisation for the Surgical Handbook from the GKT medical education faculty, assembled a team and conducted further background research. The National Undergraduate Curriculum by the Royal College of Surgeons of England was an excellent resource in the design of the Surgical Handbook. The handbook underwent multiple cycles of review by senior medical education faculty before its final digital and physical distribution for students.
Results
The Surgical Handbook has resulted in a sustained positive impact on surgical education for GKT students, with feedback highlighting it as an excellent additional resource for placements, exams, and the Foundation Programme.
Conclusions
Most doctors in the United Kingdom will undertake a surgical rotation as part of the Foundation Programme. Preparation for this role is essential and linked to the quality of undergraduate surgical education. Nevertheless, the importance of surgical teaching within the undergraduate curriculum remains a topic of debate. Our Surgical Handbook addresses this issue, and we are in the process of collaborating with other medical schools across the United Kingdom and beyond.

Abstract
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) have become immensely prevalent in the environment as a result of their unique chemical properties (persistent, semi-volatile and bioaccumulative nature). Their occurrence in the soil, water and subsequently in food has become a matter of concern. With food being one of the major sources of exposure, the detrimental impact of these chemicals on the gut microbiome is inevitable. The gut microbiome is considered as an important integrant for human health. It participates in various physiological, biochemical and immunological activities; thus, affects the metabolism and physiology of the host. A myriad of studies have corroborated an association between POP-induced gut microbial dysbiosis and prevalence of disorders. For instance, ingestion of polychlorinated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers or organochlorine pesticides influenced bile acid metabolism via alteration of bile salt hydrolase activity of Lactobacillus, Clostridium or Bacteroides genus. At the same time, some chemicals such as DDE have the potential to elevate Proteobacteria and Firmicutes/Bacteriodetes ratio influencing their metabolic activity leading to enhanced short-chain fatty acid synthesis, ensuing obesity or a pre-diabetic state. This review highlights the impact of POPs exposure on the gut microbiota composition and metabolic activity, along with an account of its corresponding consequences on the host physiology. The critical role of gut microbiota in impeding the POPs excretion out of the body resulting in their prolonged exposure and consequently, enhanced degree of toxicity is also emphasized.

Abstract
In this study, four water quality parameters were reviewed at 14 stations of river Ganga in pre-, during and post-lockdown and these parameters were modeled by using different machine learning algorithms. Various mathematical models were used for the computation of water quality parameters in pre-, during and post- lockdown period by using Central Pollution Control Board real-time data. Lockdown resulted in the reduction of Biochemical Oxygen Demand ranging from 55 to 92% with increased concentration of dissolved oxygen at few stations. pH was in range of 6.5-8.5 of during lockdown. Total coliform count declined during lockdown period at some stations. The modeling of oxygen saturation deficit showed supremacy of Thomas Mueller model (R2 = 0.75) during lockdown over Streeter Phelps (R2 = 0.57). Polynomial regression and Newton's Divided Difference model predicted possible values of water quality parameters till 30th June, 2020 and 07th August, 2020, respectively. It was found that predicted and real values were close to each other. Genetic algorithm was used to optimize hyperparameters of algorithms like Support Vector Regression and Radical Basis Function Neural Network, which were then employed for prediction of all examined water quality metrics. Computed values from ANN model were found close to the experimental ones (R2 = 1). Support Vector Regression-Genetic Algorithm Hybrid proved to be very effective for accurate prediction of pH, Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Dissolved Oxygen and Total coliform count during lockdown.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Does the approach of sperm preparation technique plays any role in sperm DNA Integrity
Summary answer
Outcome of the semen sample is directly proportional to the choice of preparation technique. Microfluidics improves sperm selection and results in better sperm DNA integrity
What is known already
Microfluidic systems are promising tools for fluid manipulation that can noninvasively separate motile sperm with higher hydrodynamics profile from the lower ones. It also enables to manipulate micro swimmers as compared to the traditional methods that to without centrifugation .As it is already known that Semen analysis and preparation is one of the most important aspects in andrology and microfluidics can improve sperm analysis and selection, therefore increasing the ART success rates
Study design, size, duration
Comparative study from July 2019 to Dec 2021 in IVF unit of IKDRC Hospital .A total number of 900 patients were enrolled in the study and were randomized by using computer generated list then divided into two groups, Group A contains 460 samples and Group B having 440 samples.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Group A (n = 460) sample was prepared by using Microfluidic sperm Sorting technique and Group B (n = 440) sample was prepared by conventional Swim up technique. Samples were analyzed according to WHO 2010 laboratory manual for examination and processing of human sperm, including all normozoospermic samples. Primary outcomes of the study was DNA Fragmentation index (DFI) and it was evaluated by using sperm chromatin dispersion (SCD) test and secondary outcomes was Progressive motility .
Main results and the role of chance
DNA fragmentation index is significantly lower in group A where Microfluidic Sperm Sorting technique (MFSS )is used than in group B where conventional swim up technique is use (10.06% vs 34.2%, p<0.0001) significant values implies that DNA integrity is better in group A than in group B and progressive motility was also found to be significantly higher in group A as compared to group B (57.6%vs16.9%, p <0.001).
Limitations, reasons for caution
As sample size was smaller, larger randomized control studies are needed to strengthen these results and all normal samples were used for the analysis and preparation , abnormal parameters were not involved .
Wider implications of the findings
According to our study the samples prepared by Microfluidic technique have higher DNA integrity than samples prepared by Swim up technique. Lower DNA Fragmentation index in microfluidics outcome indicates lower DNA damage. Choice of technique for the preparation of semen sample also plays a key role in better sperm selection.

Abstract
Plants produce polyphenols, which are considered highly essential functional foods in our diet. They are classified into several groups according to their diverse chemical structures. Flavanoids, lignans, stilbenes, and phenolic acids are the four main families of polyphenols. Several in vivo and in vitro research have been conducted so far to evaluate their health consequences. Polyphenols serve a vital function in the protection of the organism from external stimuli and in eliminating reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are instigators of several illnesses. Polyphenols are present in tea, chocolate, fruits, and vegetables with the potential to positively influence human health. For instance, cocoa flavan-3-ols have been associated with a decreased risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and diabetes. Polyphenols in the diet also help to improve lipid profiles, blood pressure, insulin resistance, and systemic inflammation. Quercetin, a flavonoid, and resveratrol, a stilbene, have been linked to improved cardiovascular health. Dietary polyphenols potential to elicit therapeutic effects might be attributed, at least in part, to a bidirectional association with the gut microbiome. This is because polyphenols are known to affect the gut microbiome composition in ways that lead to better human health. Specifically, the gut microbiome converts polyphenols into bioactive compounds that have therapeutic effects. In this review, the antioxidant, cytotoxicity, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, and anti-diabetic actions of polyphenols are described based on findings from in vivo and in vitro experimental trials. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: The non-communicable diseases (NCDs) burden has been increasing worldwide due to the sedentary lifestyle and several other factors such as smoking, junk food, etc. Scientific literature evidence supports the use of plant-based food polyphenols as therapeutic agents that could help to alleviate NCD's burden. Thus, consuming polyphenolic compounds from natural sources could be an effective solution to mitigate NCDs concerns. It is also discussed how natural antioxidants from medicinal plants might help prevent or repair damage caused by free radicals, such as oxidative stress.

Background
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can have considerable morbidity and devastating socioeconomic and psychological consequences in young adults. Previous studies reveal that the decline in mortality in AMI has mainly been in the older population while being comparatively less significant in younger patients. This study compares young adults (18 to 44 years) hospitalized with AMI across two nationwide cohorts, 2007 and 2017, in the United States (US). It examines the burden of AMI hospitalizations, the prevalence of comorbidities, and in-hospital outcomes in young adults a decade apart. It highlights the rise in AMI hospitalizations, lack of decrease in mortality, sex-based and racial disparities, the surge in post-MI complications, and the decline in reperfusion interventions in young AMI patients over a decade.
Purpose
Coronary heart disease prevalence is challenging to ascertain in younger adults because of limited data and frequent silent clinical presentations. AMI and its complications can cause considerable morbidity, psychological trauma, and socioeconomic burden in the young.
Methods
We identified hospitalizations for AMI in young adults in 2007 and 2017 using the weighted data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS), which covers 20% of stratified data of all non-federal community hospitals in the US. We compared the following data between the two cohorts: admission rates, sociodemographic features, in-hospital morbidity, complications, mortality, rate of coronary interventions, and healthcare utilization between the two cohorts. We used Pearson’s Chi-square test and Mann-Whitney U test to compare categorical and continuous variables, respectively. We also applied multivariable regression analyses to assess and compare the risk of cardiovascular complications and in-hospital mortality while controlling for confounders, including age, sex, race, median household income quartile, primary insurance enrolment, and pre-existing comorbidities.
Results
AMI’s incidence was higher in males in both the cohorts, although with a decline (71.1% vs 66.1%), whereas it rose from 28.9% to 33.9% in females. Hypertension (47.8% vs 60.7%), smoking (49.7% vs 55.8%), obesity (14.8% vs 26.8%), and diabetes mellitus (22.0% vs 25.6%) increased in the 2017 cohort (Table 1). We found no significant difference in all-cause mortality (aOR = 1.01 (0.93-1.10), p=0.749). Post-AMI complications, cardiogenic shock (aOR = 1.16 (1.06-1.27), p=0.001), and fatal arrhythmias increased. Reperfusion interventions decreased in the 2017 cohort (PCI; aOR=0.95 (0.91-0.98), p<0.001; CABG; aOR=0.66 (0.61-0.71), p<0.001) (Table 2).
Conclusion
Our study highlights the rise in AMI hospitalizations, plateauing of mortality, gender disparity, the surge in post-MI complications, and a reassuring decline in the requirement of reperfusion interventions in young AMI patients over a decade.

Background
Obesity in the young population is emerging as a challenging health concern. Though there is a rising prevalence of obesity and its potential association with demand ischemia-related myocardial infarction, data remains non-existent to evaluate the association of obesity or higher body mass index (BMI) with type 2 myocardial infarction (T2MI). We aim to identify the frequency, risk and predictors of T2MI in young hospitalized obese patients compared to non-obese patients in this population-based study.
Methods
We used National Inpatient Sample (2018, ICD-10 codes) to identify T2MI in young (18-44 years) hospitalized patients. Obesity was identified from comorbidities or using diagnostic codes for BMI>30 kg/m2. We performed multivariable regression analysis for the primary outcome of odds of T2MI in young obese patients compared to non-obese patients. The frequency of T2MI was compared between obese vs non-obese patients in overall and subgroup populations. Sociodemographic characteristics and comorbidities in T2MI-obese vs. T2MI-non-obese cohorts were also compared. A p<0.05 was considered a threshold for statistical significance.
Results
Out of 1,268,255 young hospitalized patients with obesity, 555 had T2MI. T2MI was significantly higher in young obese than non-obese (44 T2MI/100000 hospitalizations in young obese patients vs. 17 T2MI/100000 hospitalizations in young non-obese patients, overall 0.04% in obese vs. 0.02% in non-obese, p<0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed higher odds of T2MI in obese than nonobese when adjusted for demographics (aOR 2.65, 95% CI:2.42-2.90, p<0.001) and social demographics with comorbidities (aOR 1.60, 95% CI:1.24-2.07, p<0.001). In young obese, higher risk was found with advancing age (OR 1.07, 95% CI 1.03-1.11, p=0.001), in males than females (aOR 2.70, p<0.001), and blacks (aOR 2.22, p=0.011) and Native Americans (OR 3.91, 95% CI: 1.13-13.49, p=0.011) vs whites. Comorbidities including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR 1.86), chronic kidney disease (CKD, OR 2.36), rheumatoid arthritis/collagen vascular disease (RA/CVD, OR 3.04) Iin young obese patients independently increased the risk of T2MI hospitalizations [Table 1]. The T2MI-obese cohort had a significantly higher rate of hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, COPD, and prior history of MI and TIA/stroke compared to the T2MI-nonobese cohort [Table 2].
Conclusion
This nationwide analysis revealed a significantly higher risk of T2MI in young obese patients compared to nonobese after excluding patients with concomitant diagnoses of T1MI. Males, blacks compared to females and whites, and comorbidities including COPD, CKD and RA/CVD predicted a higher risk of T2MI in young obese patients. Future studies are warranted to evaluate the role of higher body mass index in myocardial oxygen demand-supply mismatch and short-term/long-term risk and outcomes of T2MI.

Background
Type 2 myocardial infarction (T2MI), due to a mismatch between myocardial oxygen demand and supply, is being increasingly recognized with improved diagnostics. The upsetting concern of developing T2MI in patients with prior revascularized occlusive acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or type 1 MI (T1MI) makes it crucial to define the clinical profile and outcomes of T2MI in revascularized patients of ACS.
Purpose
To determine the risk and prognosis of T2MI in patients who had previously had coronary revascularization (PCI or CABG)
Methods
We used the National Inpatient Sample (2018) dataset from the United States to identify T2MI adult hospitalizations using ICD-10 codes and define our study arm as T2MI excluding secondary T1MI diagnoses but having prior revascularized (with percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting) AMI. We then compared demographics and comorbidities in T2MI cohort with vs without personal history of revascularized AMI. We used multivariate analysis to study the odds of T2MI hospitalizations with prior revascularized AMI and in-hospital outcomes (all-cause mortality, cardiogenic shock and resource utilization) adjusting for confounders.
Results
There were 33155 T2MI adult hospitalizations after excluding AMI (median age 71 years, 50.6% male, 67.3% white); 1435 (4.3%) had previously revascularized AMI. T2MI in the study arm had higher chances of hospitalization with prior revascularized AMI when adjusted for socio-demographics (aOR 6.92, 95% CI:6.50-7.36, p<0.001) and socio-demographics with comorbidities (aOR 5.70, 95%CI: 5.48-5.94, p<0.001) (Table 1). Study arm often had elderly (≥65 years old, 78.4% vs 65.8%), male (66.6% vs 49.9%), white (76.7% vs 66.9%), upper socio-economic class (20.2 vs 16.8%), patients who were often admitted to non-electively (99.3 vs 97.1%) and to rural (10.5 vs 9.3%) hospitalizations compared to control arm. The study arm had a significantly higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, peripheral vascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, renal failure, deficiency anemias, prior TIA/stroke, depression and smoking. T2MI cohort with prior revascularized AMI did not show any significant association with in-hospital all-cause mortality (1.7 vs 3.0%, aOR 0.49, 95%CI 0.18-1.34, p=0.164) and cardiogenic shock (1.7% vs 2.1%, p=0.399) however, had lower hospital expenditure (median USD 31273 vs 36567) and fewer transfers to other facilities (19.5 vs 22.1%) than those without prior revascularized AMI (Table 2).
Conclusion
Population-based analysis of this nationally representative sample revealed up to six times higher risk of developing T2MI in patients with prior history of AMI (revascularized) but without any significant impact on all-cause in-hospital mortality or cardiogenic shock. Future studies are warranted to assess the short-term/long-term outcomes of T2MI in high risk patient population with previously revascularized AMI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Studies that examined the growth during late childhood and early adolescence beyond 8 years of age are very limited. Further, most studies have used dichotomized classification of stunting, thereby limiting the understanding of moderate stunting in childhood growth trajectory. We aimed to examine the course of stunting from childhood to adolescence by undertaking robust analyses of the Young Lives Survey (YLS) longitudinal data from India using multilevel categorization of stunting. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort analysis was undertaken from YLS in India among 1827 children from the younger cohort born in 2001-02 with complete follow-up data in all five rounds of YLS collected in 2002, 2006, 2009, 2013, and 2016. METHODS A three-state multistate Markov model (not stunted, moderate, severe) was performed to estimate annual transition probabilities, mean sojourn-time, and transition-specific risk factors. RESULTS Between Round-one and Round-five, cross-sectional prevalence of severe stunting decreased from 10.4% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 7.8%, 13.7%) to 5.3% (95% CI: 3.8%, 7.3%), while moderate stunting increased from 19.9% (95% CI: 16.3%,23.9%) to 21.7% (95% CI: 18.4%, 24.9%). Mean Sojourn time estimation indicated a relatively concise state for moderate stunting. The stunting trajectory had shown gender differential where more faltering to severe stunting and lower recovery to the normal state was observed among girls between 8 and 12 years and among boys between 12 and 15 years. Compared with boys, girls had 40% excess likelihood (Hazard Ratio: 1.40; 95% CI 1.00 to 1.95) for moderate-to-severe stunting transition and also had 19% excess likelihood (Hazard Ratio: 1.19; 95% CI 1.01 to 1.40) of favorable transition (moderate-to-non-stunted). CONCLUSIONS The transition trajectory highlights preadolescence, especially among girls, as an additional window of opportunity to ensure better nutrition in adolescent life. With a fifth of adolescents living in India, study findings call for coordinated, multisectoral, age-appropriate, and gender-responsive approach to take India closer to meeting SDG-2.

Abstract
Curcumin loaded milk cream emulsion was microfluidized at different pressures (50-200 MPa) and passes (1-4) using a full-factorial experimental design. Ultrasonicated and microfluidized emulsion was evaluated for particle size, morphological characteristics, antioxidant activity, rheological properties, bioaccessibility and cytotoxicity. Significant reduction was observed in the average particle size (358.2 nm) after microfluidization at 100 MPa/2nd pass. Transmission electron micrographs of the control (homogenized) and microfluidized (100 MPa/2nd pass) samples showed uniform distribution of fat globules in the microfluidized sample with partially dissolved curcumin particles (50-150 nm). Encapsulation efficiency of microfluidized emulsion was found to be significantly higher (97.88%) after processing as compared to control (91.21%). Two-fold (100%) increase in the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and 25% increase in ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) was observed for microfluidized emulsions over control. Infrared spectrums of the emulsion exhibited shift in high intensity peaks indicating bond cleavage after microfluidization. After characterization, emulsions were subjected to in vitro digestion (oral, gastric and intestinal phase) to evaluate its bioaccessibility which was found to be remarkably increased by 30% after microfluidization. For assessing processing induced safety of the formulation, in vitro cytotoxicity of the microfluidized nanocurcumin emulsion was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay on HepG2 cells, wherein high % of cell viability (>93%) was seen even at a dose as high as 900 µg/mL revealing no toxic effect of the processing technique (microfluidization). This study highlights the efficacy of microfluidization as a technique and that of milk cream as an inexpensive, yet potential vehicle for generating stable and bio-accessible nano-curcumin emulsion.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Does semen hyper viscosity effects blastocyst formation rate
Summary answer
Hyper viscosity of semen sample later results in poor blastocyst formation rate and lower implantation rate.
What is known already
Normal range of semen hyper viscosity ranges between 12–29%.Highly viscous semen samples impairs the physical and chemical characteristics of seminal fluid and due to which seminal oxidative damage increases which further increases the ROS and reduces the sperm motility there are some factors that can affect the seminal viscosity out of which one is Male accessory gland infection, Hypo function of prostate seminal vesicles and varicoceles. SHV create hindrance in semen preparation.
Study design, size, duration
Retrospective study was conducted from June 2019 to Oct 2020 at IVF unit IKDRC hospital.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
142 patients were enrolled from June 2019 to Oct 2020 in IVF unit IKDRC hospital and divided into two groups. Group A (n = 83) patients with hyper semen viscosity and Group B (n = 69) patients with normal semen viscosity, inclusion and exclusion criteria’s were same for both the groups, only patient with normozoospermia were taken. Semen analysis was done by using WHO manual 2010.
Main results and the role of chance
In group A with hyper semen viscosity fertilization rate was (49.2% vs. 70% p = <0.001) vs in group B with normal semen viscosity which is significantly higher in group B, Blastocyst formation rate ( 18.4% vs 35% p = <0.01) and implantation rate (9.4% vs 20% p = <0.005) both are significantly higher in group B . Which implies fertilization rate , blastocyst formation rate and implantation rate is significantly lower in patients with semen hyper viscosity.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Larger randomized control studies are needed to strengthen these results.
Wider implications of the findings: Our study demonstrates that patients having higher semen viscosity have poor blastocyst formation rate and implantation rate due to oxidative stress.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Does sperm vitrification technique helps in increasing sperm survival and low DNA fragmentation index post warming.
Summary answer
Sperm vitrification protocol results in better motility, high progression and low DNA fragmentation index as compared to slow freezing.
What is known already
Cryopreservation is ceasing and resuming the cell metabolism, which can be achieved by different techniques like slow freezing and vitrification .Vitrification allows solidification of the cells and extracellular milieu into a glass like state without formation of ice which protects intracellular and extracellular ice formation, and further helps in avoiding different types of cryo-injuries and cellular damage. Study design, size, duration: Comparative study from July 2019 to Oct 2020 in IVF unit of IKDRC Hospital. Two hundred and ten patients were randomized by computer generated list and divided into two groups. Group 1 (n = 110) samples cryopreserved by vitrification and Group 2 (n = 100) samples cryopreserved by conventional slow freezing.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Semen sample were analyzed by WHO 2010 laboratory manual, including all normozoospermic samples , other abnormal samples were excluded from the study . Method of semen preparation before cryopreservation is similar for both the groups, double density gradient method of preparation was used . Semen sample with high viscosity, hypo and hyper-spermia were also excluded. Similar cryovials of 2ml volume were used for both groups.
Main results and the role of chance
In group 1 where samples were cryopreserved by vitrification sperm motility was (54.3% vs 49.2%)vs in group 2 where samples were cryopreserved by slow freezing , non- significant difference were observed , but progressive motility was significantly higher in group 1 as compared to group 2 (36.8%vs17.9%) and DNA fragmentation index is significantly lower in group 1 vitrification than in group 2slow freezing ( 9.7% vs 20%).
Limitations, reasons for caution
Technical proficiency of the operator to avoid human errors and still larger randomized control studies are needed to strengthen these results
Wider implications of the findings: Our study demonstrates that vitrification is better than slow freezing of human sperm, improved survival rates with high progression were found with vitrification and low DNA fragmentation index were also observed in samples cryopreserved with vitrification protocol.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a heterogeneous group of bacteria which are Gram-positive, facultative anaerobes and non-motile, non-spore forming, with varied shapes from cocci to coccobacilli and bacilli. Lactobacillus is the largest and most widely used bacterial species amongst LAB in fermented foods and beverages. The genus is a common member of human gut microbiome. Several species are known to provide benefits to the human gut via synergistic interactions with the gut microbiome and their ability to survive the gut environment. This ability to confer positive health effects provide them a status of generally recognized as safe (GRAS) microorganisms. Due to their various beneficial characteristics, other factors such as their resistance acquisition were overlooked. Overuse of antibiotics has made certain bacteria develop resistance against these drugs. Antibiotic resistance was found to be acquired mainly through conjugation which is a type of lateral gene transfer. Several in vitro methods of conjugation have been discussed previously depending on their success to transfer resistance. In this review, we have addressed methods that are employed to study the transfer of resistance genes using the conjugation phenomenon in lactobacilli.

Abstract
Before encapsulation of spent nuclear fuel in a geological repository, the fuels need to be verified for safeguards purposes. This requirement applies to all spent fuel assemblies, including those with properties or designs that are especially challenging to verify. One such example are quivers, a new type of containers used to hold damaged spent fuel rods. After placing damaged rods inside the quivers, they are sealed with a thick lid and the water is removed. The lid is thick enough to significantly reduce the amount of the gamma radiation penetrating through it, which can make safeguards verification from the top using gamma techniques difficult. Considering that the number of quivers at storage facilities is foreseen to increase in near future, studying the feasibility of verification is timely.
In this paper we make a feasibility study related to safeguards verification of quivers, aimed at investigating the gamma and neutron radiation field around a quiver designed by Westinghouse AB and filled with PWR fuel rods irradiated at the Swedish Ringhals site. A simplified geometry of the quiver and the detailed operational history of each rod are provided by Westinghouse and the reactor operator, respectively.
The nuclide inventory of the rods placed in the quiver and the emission source terms are calculated with ORIGEN-ARP. The radiation transport is modeled with the Serpent2 Monte Carlo code. The first objective is to assess the capability of the spent fuel attribute tester (SFAT) to verify the content for nuclear safeguards purposes. The results show that the thick quiver lid attenuates the gamma radiation, thereby making gamma radiation based verification from above the quiver difficult.

Abstract
Although advances in knowledge and technology have improved outcomes in surgical cardiac patients over the last decade, complications following cardiac operations still remain to be potentially fatal. Gastrointestinal complications, in particular, tend to have high rates of reintervention and mortality following cardiac surgery, with ischemia and hemorrhage being two of the commonest underlying causes. The intention of this review is to identify which risk factors play important roles in predisposing patients to such complications and to gain better insight into the pathogenesis of the sequelae. Furthermore, strategies for prevention have been discussed to educate and increase awareness of how adverse cardiac surgical outcomes can be minimized.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
An ideal strategy for radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the left atrium should be efficient enough to achieve transmural lesions in left atrium with no or minimal collateral tissue damage. Resistive heating of high power short duration (HPSD) RFA has been found to result in lesions larger in width but lesser in depth compared to lower power longer duration (LPLD) RFA in some experimental studies.
Purpose
This meta-analysis was performed to compare procedural, short-term and long-term outcomes of HPSD versus LPLD RFA of AF.
Methods
PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases were systematically reviewed. Five observational studies meeting criteria were included in the meta-analysis. All the studies scored six or more points in the New-castle Ottawa scale. There were considerable variations in the ablation strategies across the studies. However, radiofrequency power more than 40W was considered as high power. Hypergeometric model with exact likelihood function was utilized for statistical analysis.
Results
Baseline parameters and ablation details have been depicted in Table 1. 740 patients with HPSD and 287 patients with LPLD ablation strategies, were followed up from 6 to 30 months. Total procedural time (P value <0.0001) and ablation time (P value <0.0001) were significantly lower in the HPSD group than LPLD group. However, the fluoroscopy time was similar (P value = 0.09) in both the groups (Table 2). There were no occurrences of atrio-esophageal fistula or pulmonary venous stenosis in any of the studies. Cardiac tamponade (P value = 0.56), stroke (P value = 0.70) and AF recurrences (P value = 0.81), were similar in both groups (Table 2).
Conclusion
Newer HPSD and conventional LPLD RFA, both the strategies are very safe procedure for treatment of RFA with low to no procedural complications. AF recurrence rates were reasonably high irrespective of ablation strategies, however, no strategy scored statistically better over the other one. Large randomized multi-centric studies with long-term follow up are needed to test the theoretical advantage of HPSD ablation over the traditional ablation strategy of AF.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are known for their probiotic properties, but only a few strains produce riboflavin. We evaluated the probiotic properties of four riboflavin-producing strains of Lactobacillus plantarum (BBC33, BBC32A, BIF43, and BBC32B) by using in vitro assessment and carried out multivariate principal component analysis (PCA) to select the best strain. Safety, antioxidant, and exopolysaccharide-producing properties were also studied. Lact. plantarum BBC33 showed better probiotic potential, followed by strain BIF43. Lact. plantarum BBC32A degraded mucin and excluded as a potential probiotic candidate. Lact. plantarum BIF43, BBC33, and BBC32A tolerated simulated gastrointestinal conditions and their overnight cell-free culture supernatants (CFSs, pH 4.0-4.3) inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli AF10, Salmonella Typhi MTCC98, Bacillus cereus NCDC250, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCDC105. Lact. plantarum BIF43 and BBC33 did not degrade mucin, adhered to human epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma Caco-2 cells (22-25%), and aggregated with indicators (30-50%). Moreover, both were non-hemolytic and sensitive to most antibiotics tested. Of the two selected strains, BIF43 showed better exopolysaccharides (EPS) producing phenotype. The CFSs of all strains showed high (85-93%) 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity. PCA confirmed the results obtained from in vitro probiotic experiments and supported the selection of Lact. plantarum BIF33 and BBC43, as potential probiotics.

Abstract
Fiber wireless (FiWi) access network which is also referred as hybrid wireless optical broadband access network is one of the modern architecture to solve the problem of bandwidth availability and flexibility simultaneously. It integrates wireless frontend with optical backend. In FiWi network most of component remains idle for large duration, hence efficiency is very crucial. To improve energy efficiency in FiWi many multiple access (MA) techniques had been implemented at backend. However inclusion of multiple access techniques usually incur problem of delay, as data transfer in such network takes place only in the assigned slot of access technique. In this paper a novel architecture is proposed for FiWi which implements wavelength agile hybrid multiple access at backend and radio agile access technique at frontend. Further to improve delay performance, bandwidth availability and utilization of resources; a new scheduling approach is proposed for multiple access techniques implemented at frontend as well as backend. Delay performance, wavelength availability and load handling capacity of proposed approach is compared with different hybrid multiple access architecture. To best of our knowledge, wavelength agile and radio agile MA has been used for the first time in FiWi, moreover the proposed scheduling approach implemented on MA provide promising results in terms of delay and resource utilization. The performance of proposed work is also evaluated in terms of service and reservation delay component to indicate its utility in terms of actual information content per frame. The result shows effectiveness of proposed architecture over other existing architectures.

Abstract
The proportion of tuberculosis (TB) patients tested for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the state of Ra-jasthan, India, is limited by the availability of HIV testing facilities. Rajasthan implemented a policy of initiating TB-HIV diagnosis at all health institutions in July 2013. The number of TB diagnostic facilities increased from 33 to 63 in Banswara District and from 22 to 68 in Jhunjhunu District, while the number of HIV testing facilities in these districts increased from 1 to 53 and from 10 to 81, respectively, after the policy implementation. The proportion of TB patients tested for HIV increased by respectively 27% and 19%.
