Abstract
Abstract
Aim
Caecal Volvulus is a rare cause of bowel obstruction. However, there has been a steady rise in the number of cases over the decades. The demographic profile of patients developing Caecal Volvulus has changed to a much older population. We conducted a retrospective review to find the incidence, demographic profile, management, and outcomes of Caecal Volvulus patients in our institution during the last nine years.
Method
A total of 38 patients were diagnosed with Caecal Volvulus at Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust between 01.01.2011 to 31.03.2020.
Results
Most of our patients were females (78%) with a median age was 76 years. The majority (86%) had at least one medical comorbidity, and 36% had a previous abdominal operation. Abdominal pain was the main complaint in 94% of patients. All patients had a CT scan to confirm their diagnosis. Most of our patients (84%) underwent surgery. Open right hemicolectomy was the most commonly performed operation (87%). Out of the six patients who did not undergo surgery, three responded to bowel rest and nasogastric tube decompression; one patient underwent successful colonoscopic decompression. In contrast, two patients, unfortunately, passed away. The median length of hospital stay was 9 days, with a 30-day mortality of 3%.
Conclusion
Caecal Volvulus remains a rare cause of bowel obstruction. Most of our patients were old, frail and had medical comorbidities. More than a third of them had undergone previous abdominal surgery. Early CT scan followed by surgery was associated with low mortality.

Abstract
During a 2-year period, 31 cases of a hereditary retinal degeneration in dogs bred in India were found mainly suspected for progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) with typical history of initial nyctalopia followed by hemeralopia. Out of 31 PRA suspected dogs, 8 dogs (26%) were from the age group of 1-5 years, 15 (48%) 6-10 years and the rest (26%) 11-15 years. The most predominant breed was Spitz (18 dogs, 58%). Detailed ophthalmologic examinations included Schirmer's tear test, fluorescein stain, applanation tonometry, slit lamp biomicroscopy and ocular ultrasound in appropriate cases. Ophthalmoscopic and fundoscopic changes included hyperreflectivity and discoloration of the tapetal area, marked attenuation of retinal vessels, depigmentation in non-tapetal area and optic disc atrophy with scalloped borders. Electroretinograms (ERG) recorded in 13 PRA-affected cases revealed non-recordable extinguished (flatline) ERG responses. A reduction mainly of a- and b-wave amplitudes in the ERG indicated a generalized photoreceptor disease.

Abstract
Prescription drug costs rise about 15% annually. Solnit Center has been exploring ways to reduce overall expenditure on medications while promoting best practice of care. Lack of facility-based pharmacy has posed specific challenges in ordering medications, optimal usage and minimizing wastage of drugs. Each of these areas were examined and reviewed at Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee of the facility. This information was shared with the ordering physicians and standard prescribing practices were established. This project was aimed at tracking medication costs over a 11-year period while monitoring supplies and destruction of unused medications.Aims1. Reduce overall medication expenditure while maintaining standard of care. 2. Develop a program to return unused medications for refund.Methods1. Monthly review of pharmacy cost by facility, patient and medication. 2. Development and legislative approval of a program to return drugs. 3. Collaborate with contracted pharmacy to explore ways to cut costs. 4. Train nurses and physicians to understand optimal ordering practice. 5. Demonstrate medications wasted with associated financial impact to the facility.ResultsThe expenditure to the facility over 11 years has gradually decreased despite increase in medication costs. In 2004, the facility spent $ 712,904 and in 2014, the expenditure was $ 584,022.ConclusionsAwareness about costs and optimal ordering practices led to significant savings to the facility.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract
Complete blood cell counts (CBCs) are one of the most commonly ordered and informative blood tests in hospitals. The results from a CBC, which typically include white blood cell (WBC) counts with differentials, red blood cell (RBC) counts, platelet counts and hemoglobin measurements, can have implications for the diagnosis and screening of hundreds of diseases and treatments. Bulky and expensive hematology analyzers are currently used as a gold standard for acquiring CBCs. For nearly all CBCs performed today, the patient must travel to either a hospital with a large laboratory or to a centralized lab testing facility. There is a tremendous need for an automated, portable point-of-care blood cell counter that could yield results in a matter of minutes from a drop of blood without any trained professionals to operate the instrument. We have developed microfluidic biochips capable of a partial CBC using only a drop of whole blood. Total leukocyte and their 3-part differential count are obtained from 10 μL of blood after on-chip lysing of the RBCs and counting of the leukocytes electrically using microfabricated platinum electrodes. For RBCs and platelets, 1 μL of whole blood is diluted with PBS on-chip and the cells are counted electrically. The total time for measurement is under 20 minutes. We demonstrate a high correlation of blood cell counts compared to results acquired with a commercial hematology analyzer. This technology could potentially have tremendous applications in hospitals at the bedside, private clinics, retail clinics and the developing world.

Abstract
Mesiodens is the most commonly erupting supernumerary in the midline between two maxillary central incisors. Mesiodentes is a rare condition when mesiodens erupt in multiples, which may present as either labial or palatal to permanent central incisors. We report a rare case of double mesiodentes (non-syndromic mesiodentes) with floret like appearance. The presence of mesiodens has functional and esthetic implications. Careful radiographic evaluation should be done to prevent complications during their extraction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Catheter-directed thrombolysis with assisted mechanical thrombolysis is the standard of medical care for proximal deep vein thrombosis. We studied the immediate and intermediate (six months) safety and effectiveness of catheter-directed thrombolysis in patients with proximal lower limb deep vein thrombosis. METHODOLOGY Thirty consecutive patients aged between 20 and 70 years with proximal lower limb deep vein thrombosis formed the study group. Catheter-directed thrombolysis was done with streptokinase infuse through a catheter kept in the ipsilateral popliteal vein. Unfractionated heparin was given along with streptokinase. Mechanical thromboaspiration using guiding catheter was performed in addition to thrombolytic therapy. After six months, post-thrombotic syndrome and deep venous patency were assessed by using Villalta scale and duplex ultrasound, respectively. RESULTS Thirty patients with proximal lower limb deep vein thrombosis were treated with catheter-directed thrombolysis. Mean age of the study patients was 41.7 ± 15 years. Mean duration of illness was 13.3 ± 12 days. The mean duration of thrombolysis was 4.5 ± 1.3 days. Grade III (complete) lysis was achieved in 10 (33%) and Grade II (50-90%) lysis in 20 (67%) of patients. Patients with significant residual lesion in Grade II lysis following catheter-directed thrombolysis underwent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty alone (12/20) or venous stenting (8/20). All patients improved clinically following catheter-directed thrombolysis or assisted catheter-directed thrombolysis. Four patients (13%) developed pulmonary embolism during course of hospital stay and among them two (6.5%) patients died. Eleven patients (37%) had minor bleeding or hematoma at local site, and seven (23%) developed anemia requiring blood transfusion and four (13%) patients had thrombocytopenia. After six months, iliofemoral patency was found in 20 (72%) and post-thrombotic syndrome was seen in six (21%) patients. Two (6.5%) patients died during follow-up due to nephrotic syndrome and carcinoma breast. CONCLUSION Catheter-directed thrombolysis and conventional manual aspiration thrombectomy are an effective treatment for proximal lower extremity deep vein thrombosis with good short and intermediate outcome.

Abstract
Buffalo rumen microbiome experiences a variety of diet stress and represents reservoir of Dormancy and Sporulation genes. However, the information on genomic responses to such conditions is very limited. The Ion Torrent PGM next generation sequencing technology was used to characterize general microbial diversity and the repertoire of microbial genes present, including genes associated with Dormancy and Sporulation in Mehsani buffalo rumen metagenome. The research findings revealed the abundance of bacteria at the domain level and presence of Dormancy and Sporulation genes which were predominantly associated with the Clostridia and Bacilli taxa belonging to the phyla Firmicutes. Genes associated with Sporulation cluster and Sporulation orphans were increased from 50% to 100% roughage treatment, thereby promoting sporulation all along the treatments. The spore germination is observed to be the highest in the 75% roughage treatment both in the liquid and solid rumen fraction samples with respect to the decrease in the values of the genes associated with spore core dehydration, thereby facilitating spore core hydration which is necessary for spore germination.

Abstract
Though HIV infection is considered as a hypercoagulable state, but occurrence of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is rare and usually seen in the advanced stage of the disease. PE as a presentation in a case where there is no previous history of having HIV infection is very rare; a Medline search revealed only one case reported previously. We describe two cases who presented with acute PE and were treated; they were subsequently diagnosed as having HIV infection.

Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that activation of ras proto-oncogenes and inactivation of suppressor genes induce malignant phenotype in colonic cells. Thus the identification of clonal population of cells expressing activated ras may lead to a valuable intermediate biomarker to detect premalignant lesions amenable to chemoprevention. Previously, we demonstrated that sulindac inhibited the carcinogen-induced colon tumor development whereas phenylhexylisothiocyanate (PHITC) promoted the tumor outcome. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of sulindac and PHITC on azoxymethane (AOM)induced activation of ras proto-oncogenes in order to explore the plausibility of using ras as an intermediate biomarker in chemoprevention of colon cancer. Male F344 rats were fed the AIN-76A diet containing 0, 320 ppm sulindac or 640 ppm PHITC and administered s.c. AOM dissolved in normal saline at a dose rate of 15 mg/kg body wt/week for 2 weeks. Vehicle control groups received s.c. equal volume of normal saline. Animals were sacrificed 52 weeks after AOM or saline treatment and their colonic mucosa and tumors were analyzed for mutations in codon 12 and 13 of K-ras and the expression of ras p21. As an alternative non-invasive approach, we developed a simple and sensitive one-step mutant-enriched PCR method to detect these genetic lesions in stools collected at 16, and again at 24 weeks after AOM treatment. AOM-induced G to A transitions were observed at the second nucleotide of 12th codon of K-ras substituting amino acid asp with wild-type gly. Sulindac not only suppressed the selective amplification of initiated cells possessing AOM-induced mutated K-ras codon 12, but significantly inhibited the AOM-induced expression of total and mutant ras-p21. PHITC did not exert any inhibitory effect on AOM-induced ras activation. Results indicated a strong correlation between ras activation and tumor outcome. Data suggest that ras activation may be a useful intermediate molecular marker in chemoprevention of colon cancer.

Abstract
The biological activities of tocotrienols are receiving increasing attention. Herein, we report the efficacy of a mixed-tocotrienol diet against prostate tumorigenesis in the transgenic adenocarcinoma mouse prostate (TRAMP) mouse model. Male TRAMP mice, 8 wk old, were fed 0.1%, 0.3%, or 1% mixed tocotrienols in AIN-76A diet up to 24 wk old. Likewise, a positive control group consisting of male TRAMP mice and a negative control group consisting of wild-type nontransgenic mice were fed regular AIN-76A diet up to 24 wk old. Our results show that mixed-tocotrienol-fed groups had a lower incidence of tumor formation along with a significant reduction in the average wet weight of genitourinary apparatus. Furthermore, mixed tocotrienols significantly reduced the levels of high-grade neoplastic lesions as compared to the positive controls. This decrease in levels of high-grade neoplastic lesions was found to be associated with increased expression of proapoptotic proteins BAD (Bcl(2) antagonist of cell death) and cleaved caspase-3 and cell cycle regulatory proteins cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors p21 and p27. In contrast, the expression of cyclins A and E were found to be decreased in mixed-tocotrienol groups. Taken together, our results show that by modulating cell cycle regulatory proteins and increasing expression of proapoptotic proteins, mixed tocotrienols suppress prostate tumorigenesis in the TRAMP mice.

Abstract
Epidemiology studies suggest that statins and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs reduce the risk of prostate cancer. In the present study, LNCaP cells were cultured in regular medium containing fetal bovine serum or in medium supplemented with charcoal-stripped fetal bovine serum to mimic androgen deprivation treatment. We found that atorvastatin (Lipitor) or celecoxib (Celebrex) treatment of LNCaP cells cultured in regular or androgen-depleted medium inhibited growth and stimulated apoptosis. A combination of atorvastatin and celecoxib was more effective than either agent alone. In animal studies, severe combined immunodeficient mice were injected s.c. with LNCaP cells in Matrigel. After 4 to 6 weeks, mice with LNCaP tumors (about 0.6 cm wide and 0.6 cm long) were surgically castrated and received daily i.p. injections of vehicle, atorvastatin (10 microg/g body weight/d), celecoxib (10 microg/g/d), or a combination of atorvastatin (5 microg/g/d) and celecoxib (5 microg/g/d) for 42 days. In all groups, the androgen-dependent LNCaP tumors regressed initially in response to castration, but the tumors eventually progressed to androgen independence and started to grow. Treatment of the mice with atorvastatin or celecoxib alone suppressed the regrowth of LNCaP tumors after castration. A combination of low doses of atorvastatin and celecoxib had a more potent effect in inhibiting the growth and progression of LNCaP tumors to androgen independence than a higher dose of either agent alone. Our results indicate that administration of a combination of atorvastatin and celecoxib may be an effective strategy for the prevention of prostate cancer progression from androgen dependence to androgen independence.
