Abstract
BACKGROUND IIH is a severe form of headache that often has superimposed migraine and often it is very difficult to distinguish the two forms of headache. Intracranial hemodynamics is a relatively unexplored means of distinguishing between the two forms of headache. OBJECTIVES We aimed to study intracranial flow dynamics using Transcranial Doppler in patients with IIH, migraine, and normal controls. MATERIALS AND METHODS It was a hospital-based observational study that included 51 people with IIH, 87 people with migraine, and 101 healthy controls and all were subjected to TCD study after detailed clinical examination. RESULTS Mean age of patients in three groups were similar with the mean age in IIH being 33.41 ± 10.75 (age in years ± SD). Vision loss was present in 66.67% of patients with IIH, and most common field defect was generalized constriction (27.5%). Neuroimaging was abnormal in 94.11% of patients of IIH with mean CSF pressure was 31.27±5.32 cm of water. Of all the TCD-measured velocities, mean flow velocity (MFV) showed a significant difference in all three groups with (p-value <0.001). The pulsatility index, both for middle cerebral arteries as well as ophthalmic arteries showed a significant difference in the three groups with the highest values in IIH patients (p-value<.001). The mean VMR in IIH (1.11±0.32) was lower than the mean VMR in migraine (1.34±0.43) as well as controls (1.49±0.46). CONCLUSION TCD parameters like MFV and PI are useful parameters that show considerable variation and can be used to differentiate between IIH and migraine.

Abstract
This Letter presents the measurement of near-side associated per-trigger yields, denoted ridge yields, from the analysis of angular correlations of charged hadrons in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV. Long-range ridge yields are extracted for pairs of charged particles with a pseudorapidity difference of 1.4<|Δη|<1.8 and a transverse momentum of 1

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
Meningoencephalitis refers to inflammation of the brain and meninges. It can be caused by various organisms, such as Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and so on. Staphylococcus aureus causing meningoencephalitis is relatively rare. It is mainly encountered in patients who have undergone surgeries in the past. Acute leukoencephalopathy with restricted diffusion (ALERD) is a type of encephalopathy that can involve both white and grey matter of the brain, and it has a characteristic "bright tree appearance" on MRI. It can be because of various infectious etiologies or caused by various toxins. Neurological sequelae are observed in about two out of three cases. Here, we describe a case of S. aureus meningoencephalitis with ALERD, which has been seldom reported. More awareness about this is required among primary care physicians for timely diagnosis and management to prevent any complications.

Abstract
Leprosy is a disease with spectral clinical manifestations along with two types of reactions, type 1 reaction (T1R) and type 2 reaction (T2R). T1R especially occurs because of the defensive upgradation of cell-mediated immunity (CMI) to M. leprae antigens. T1R is the main cause of disability in leprosy. The role of conventional adaptive T cells has been well studied to understand T1R. A comprehensive understanding of the role of unconventional T cells in the manifestation of inflammation during T1R is crucial and has not been studied. In our study, we found significantly higher plasma levels of TNFα, IL1β, IL17, and IP10 in T1R when compared to non-reaction (NR). Gene expression for cytokines in blood circulation by qPCR showed significantly higher expression of IFNγ, IP10, TNFα, IL6, IL17A and chemokines CCL3, CCR1, CCR5, and CXCR3 in T1R as compared to NR. Frequencies of NKT-like cells (48.7 %) and NK cells (22.3 %) were found significantly higher in T1R in comparison to NR (36.9 %, 18.3 %, respectively) (p = 0.0001). Significantly lower levels of γδT cells (3.32 %) were observed in T1R in comparison to NR (5.16 %). The present study has provided evidence for the first time on the role of plausible unconventional T cells in the immunopathogenesis of T1R in leprosy.

Abstract
Light aromatics (benzene, toluene, and xylene, collectively known as BTX) are essential commodity chemicals in the petrochemical industry. The present study examines the aromatization of bioethanol with Cr- and Ga-modified ZSM-5. Both Cr and Ga were incorporated by the ion-exchange method. Cr-modified ZSM-5 outperforms the Ga-modified ZSM-5 and H-ZSM-5 catalysts. Cr-H-ZSM-5 almost doubled the carbon yield of aromatics compared to H-ZSM-5 at an optimum reaction temperature of 450 °C. Cr-H-ZSM-5 produced aromatics with a yield of ~40 %. The effect of dilution in feed on BTX production is also studied. Cr-H-ZSM-5 was found to be more active than H-ZSM-5. Complete ethanol conversion was obtained with both pure and dilute bioethanol. The Bronsted-Lewis acid (BLA) pair formed after metal incorporation is responsible for dehydrogenation followed by aromatization, leading to increased aromatic production.

Abstract
Brain abscess is a serious clinical condition caused by a localized collection of pus within the brain tissue. This typically occurs as a result of an infection that originates from a nearby area, such as an ear, sinus, or dental infection, or an infection in the bloodstream. Streptococcus and Staphylococcus species are the most common organisms implicated in brain abscesses. Apart from aerobic growth, cases of mixed infections of both aerobic and anaerobic organisms are also commonly reported in the literature. Herein we report a 23-year-old immunocompetent female with chronic otitis media who presented with cerebellar abscess where the aerobic growth was sterile and anaerobic culture revealed pure growth of dual anaerobes viz… Peptostreptococcus and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. This case highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis and management of polymicrobial anaerobic infection in cases of brain abscess.

Abstract
A peptic ulcer is a lesion (sore) on the stomach lining, or duodenum. Peptic ulcers are probably a twentieth-century condition. The ulcer disease continues to be a significant source of worldwide morbidity and mortality. The Gastrointestinal ulcers and duodenal ulcers are considered the two most extreme types of peptic ulcers. Peptic ulcers are found to be caused by an excess of violent factors including Hydrochloric acid (HCL) pepsin, refluxed bile leukotrienes (LT), reactive oxygen species (ROS) and protective factors, these include mucus-bicarbonate barrier functions, prostaglandins (PGs), mucosal blood flow, cell regeneration and migration, non-enzymatic and enzymatic and certain growth factors. The primary cause of peptic ulcer disease is pylori infection and the use of NSAIDs. This review article underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the management of ulcers to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.

Abstract
Living organisms are replete with rhythmic and oscillatory behavior at all levels, to the extent that oscillations have been termed as a defining attribute of life. Recent studies of synthetic oscillators that mimic such functions have shown decayed cycles in batch-mode reactions or sustained oscillatory kinetics under flow conditions. Considering the hypothesized functionality of peptides in early chemical evolution and their central role in current bio-nanotechnology, we now reveal a peptide-based oscillator. Oscillatory behavior was achieved by coupling coiled-coil-based replication processes as positive feedback to controlled initiation and inhibition pathways in a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR). Our results stress that assembly into the supramolecular structure and specific interactions with the replication substrates are crucial for oscillations. The replication-inhibition processes were first studied in batch mode, which produced a single damped cycle. Thereafter, combined experimental and theoretical characterization of the replication process in a CSTR under different flow and environmental (pH, redox) conditions demonstrated reasonably sustained oscillations. We propose that studies in this direction might pave the way to the design of robust oscillation networks that mimic the autonomous behavior of proteins in cells (e.g., in the cyanobacterial circadian clock) and hence hint at feasible pathways that accelerated the transition from simple peptides to extant enzymes.

Abstract
HIV affects more than 38 million people worldwide. Although HIV can be effectively treated by lifelong combination antiretroviral therapy, only a handful of patients have been cured. Therapeutic vaccines that induce robust de novo immune responses targeting HIV proteins and latent reservoirs will likely be integral for functional HIV cure. Our study shows that immunization of naïve rhesus macaques with arenavirus-derived vaccine vectors encoding simian immunodeficiency virus (SIVSME543 Gag, Env, and Pol) immunogens is safe, immunogenic, and efficacious. Immunization induced robust SIV-specific CD8+ and CD4+ T-cell responses with expanded cellular breadth, polyfunctionality, and Env-binding antibodies with antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. Vaccinated animals had significant reductions in median SIV viral load (1.45-log10 copies/mL) after SIVMAC251 challenge compared with placebo. Peak viral control correlated with the breadth of Gag-specific T cells and tier 1 neutralizing antibodies. These results support clinical investigation of arenavirus-based vectors as a central component of therapeutic vaccination for HIV cure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the potential for erucic acid (EA), an omega-9 monounsaturated fatty acid, to act as a neuroprotective agent. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, EA was investigated against N2a cell lines and a rotenone (ROT)-induced model of Parkinson's disease for its neuroprotective potential. The N2a cell line was incubated with fetal bovine serum, penicillin, and streptomycin supplemented with Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium, and the following assays were carried out: (i) MTT, (ii) biocompatibility, (iii) DCFDA, and (iv) diphenylamine. A cell morphology study was also performed. Further, ROT 1 mg/kg s.c. and EA 3 and 10 mg/kg p.o. were given to rats on a daily basis for 21 days, and the following parameters were assessed: (i) neurobehavioral studies, (ii) oxidative stress markers, (iii) neuroinflammatory markers, (iv) neurotransmitters, and (v) histopathological study. RESULTS The cell viability assay revealed that EA showed protection against ROT-induced toxicity in N2a cells, which was confirmed by a cell morphology study. EA decreased oxidative stress and % DNA fragmentation significantly. EA also prevented ROT-induced motor impairment and altered levels of oxidative stress markers, neurotransmitters, and neuroinflammatory markers significantly. When compared to the ROT group, a histological investigation of the EA group showed partial neuronal loss with the existence of intact neurons in between the vacuolated gaps. CONCLUSION This study revealed that EA possesses profound neuroprotective properties in in vitro and in vivo studies. Additional research can be carried out to study the mechanism of EA with respect to its neuroprotective potential.

Abstract
Low density of formal care providers in rural India results in restricted and delayed access to standardized management of hypertension. Task-sharing with pharmacies, typically the first point of contact for rural populations, can bridge the gap in access to formal care and improve health outcomes. In this study, we implemented a hypertension care program involving task-sharing with twenty private pharmacies between November 2020 and April 2021 in two blocks of Bihar, India. Pharmacists conducted free hypertension screening, and a trained physician offered free consultations at the pharmacy. We calculated the number of subjects screened, initiated on treatment (enrolled) and the change in blood pressure using the data collected through the program application. Of the 3403 subjects screened at pharmacies, 1415 either reported having a history of hypertension or had elevated blood pressure during screening. Of these, 371 (26.22%) were enrolled in the program. Of these, 129 (34.8%) made at least one follow-up visit. For these subjects, the adjusted average difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure between the screening and follow-up visits was -11.53 (-16.95 to -6.11, 95% CI) and -4.68 (-8.53 to -0.82, 95% CI) mmHg, respectively. The adjusted odds of blood pressure being under control in this group during follow-up visits compared to screening visit was 7.07 (1.29 to 12.85, 95% CI). Task-sharing with private pharmacies can lead to early detection and improved control of blood pressure in a resource-constrained setting. Additional strategies to increase patient screening and retention rates are needed to ensure sustained health benefits.

Abstract
Hypertension is a major public health challenge in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and calls for large-scale effective hypertension control programs. Adoption of drug and dose-specific treatment protocols recommended by the World Health Organization-HEARTS Initiative is key for hypertension control programs in LMICs. We estimated the annual medication cost per patient using three such protocols (protocol-1 and protocol-2 with Amlodipine, Telmisartan, using add-on doses and different drug orders, adding Chlorthalidone; protocol-3 with a single-pill combination (SPC) of Amlodipine/Telmisartan with dose up-titration, and addition of Chlorthalidone, if required) in India. The medication cost was simulated with different hypertension control assumptions for each protocol and calculated based on prices in the public and private sectors in India. The estimated annual medication cost per patient for protocol-1 and protocol-2 was $33.88-58.44 and $51.57-68.83 for protocol-3 in the private sector. The medication cost was lower in the generic stores ($5.78-9.57 for protocol-1 and protocol-2, and $7.35-9.89 for protocol-3). The medication cost for patients was the lowest ($2.05-3.89 for protocol-1 and protocol-2, and $2.94-3.98 for protocol-3) in the public sector. At less than $4 per patient per annum, scaling up a hypertension control program with specific treatment protocols is a potentially cost-effective public health intervention. Expanding low-cost generic retail networks would extend affordability in the private sector. The cost of treatment with SPC is comparable with non-SPC protocols and can be adopted in a public health program considering the advantage of simplified logistics, reduced pill burden, improved treatment adherence, and blood pressure control.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) is a group of rare, increasingly recognized, potentially reversible, noninfectious causes of unexplained encephalitis. It affects any age-group and has a plethora of clinical presentations, the most common being the neuropsychiatric manifestation. The diagnosis of this entity at the right time and proper treatment with immunotherapy can save many lives. In this study, we describe the demographic profile, clinical spectrum, diagnosis, and treatment of 42 patients with features of AIE. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a prospective study where 42 cases were selected from a tertiary care center in Northwestern India. Patients with suspected AIE underwent detailed clinical assessment, routine blood tests, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain, electroencephalography (EEG), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) study, and autoimmune profile in blood and CSF. Screening for malignancy was done in all patients with computer tomography (CT) thorax and abdomen and tumor markers. RESULTS Among 42 patients, males, and females were almost equally affected. The mean age of onset was 31 years. Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) Encephalitis was the commonest of all AIE (57%) followed by anti-leucine-rich glioma inactivated-1 (anti-LGI-1) related AIE (11.9%), anti-contactin-associated protein 2 (anti-CASPR2) related AIE (4.7%), and steroid-responsive encephalopathy associated with autoimmune thyroiditis (SREAT) related to antithyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibody (2.3%). Neuropsychiatric manifestation is the commonest. The seizure was noted in around 72% of patients, the commonest in the anti-NMDAR group. Faciobrachial dystonic seizure (FBDS) was noted in all five anti-LG1-1 encephalitis patients. CSF abnormalities were seen in 33.3% of patients in the form of pleocytosis or raised protein, or both. MRI abnormality was seen in 52% of patients. EEG was abnormal in 10% of patients, and delta brush was noted in three anti-NMDAR patients. All patients received immunotherapy in the form of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) or pulse IV methylprednisolone (IVMPS), or both. Two patients nonresponsive to IVIg and IVMPS received rituximab. Almost all patients responded to immunotherapy. CONCLUSION Autoimmune encephalitis (AIE), a potentially treatable immune-responsive entity, is a common neurological problem and may be an answer to a large number of cases having unexplained encephalitis. Good clinical acumen and knowledge are required for early diagnosis and treatment of this potentially reversible disorder. How to cite this article: Sharma B, Paul M, Bagaria AK.

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
Introduction Diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) remains one of the major causes of acute diarrhoea episodes in developing countries. The percentage of acute diarrhoea cases caused by DEC is 30-40 % in these countries. Approximately 10% of E. coli isolates obtained from stool specimens have been reported to be non-lactose-fermenting (NLF). The available literature is sparse regarding the pathogenicity of NLF E. coli causing infectious diarrhoea. Aim We aimed to elucidate the importance of NLF E. coli in causing diarrhoea in both adults and children by detecting various DEC pathotypes among NLF E. coli in stool samples taken from gastroenteritis cases. Material and Methods A total of 376 NLF E. coli isolates from 3110 stool samples from diarrhoea/gastroenteritis patients were included in the study. Up to three NLF colonies that were not confirmed as Vibrio cholerae , Aeromonas spp., Salmonella spp. or Shigella spp., but were identified as E. coli using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF), were carefully picked up from each MacConkey agar plate and then meticulously streaked onto freshly prepared, sterilized nutrient agar plates, and biochemical reactions were conducted. Multiplex PCR was conducted for the EAEC, EPEC, ETEC and EHEC pathotypes and PCR for the ipaH gene was conducted for EIEC. The disc diffusion method was used for antibiotic sensitivity testing. Results Using multiplex PCR and ipaH PCR, a total of 63 pathotypes of DEC were obtained, with EAEC being the most predominant (n=31) followed by EIEC (n=22), EPEC (n=8) and ETEC (n=2). To further differentiate EIEC from Shigella , additional biochemical tests were performed, including acetate utilization, mucate and salicin fermentation, and aesculin hydrolysis. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) showed that maximum resistance was seen against ciprofloxacin (82.5 %) followed by ampicillin (77.8 %) and cotrimoxazole (68.2 %), and minimum resistance was seen against ertapenem (4.8 %). Conclusion In our study two pathotypes (EAEC, EIEC) were predominant among NLF E. coli and these were not only important aetiological agents in children, but also in adults. Our study also sheds light on the epidemiology of EIEC, which is one of the most neglected DEC pathotypes, as hardly any microbiological laboratories process NLF E. coli for EIEC.

Abstract
Introduction Low-frequency noise (LFN) is hazardous to hearing. Long-term exposure to LFN may lead to vibroacoustic disease (VAD), which not only affects a specific organ but the physiological function of entire systems, such as the auditory, phonatory, respiratory, and cardiac systems. Moreover, VAD may lead to many psychological problems and hence affect the quality of life. Objective To investigate the adverse effects of LFN on hearing, acoustic and perceptual correlates of the voice, blood pressure, cardiac rate, and anxiety level. Method A total of 20 subjects exposed to LFN and 20 not exposed to LFN were included, and a detailed case history was recorded. The patients were submitted to pure tone audiometry, otoscopic examination, acoustic and perceptual analyses of the voice, maximum phonation time, and an assessment of the s/z ratio. We also assessed blood pressure, and the results of a voice-related quality of life questionnaire and of the Hamilton anxiety rating scale. Results The results indicate that LFN had an adverse impact on the high-frequency threshold. The present study found a significant difference in shimmer and harmonics-to-noise ratio (HNR) values. Few subjects had high blood pressure and showed the sign of anxiety on the Hamilton anxiety rating scale. Conclusion Low-frequency noise has adverse effects on entire systems of the body and causes many psychological issues, which, in turn negatively affect quality of life.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us many things, among the most important of which is that vaccines are one of the cornerstones of public health that help make modern longevity possible. While several different vaccines have been successful at stemming the morbidity and mortality associated with various infectious diseases, many pathogens/diseases remain recalcitrant to the development of effective vaccination. Recent advances in vaccine technology, immunology, structural biology, and other fields may yet yield insight that will address these diseases; they may also help improve societies' preparedness for future pandemics. On June 1-4, 2022, experts in vaccinology from academia, industry, and government convened for the Keystone symposium "Progress in Vaccine Development for Infectious Diseases" to discuss state-of-the-art technologies, recent advancements in understanding vaccine-mediated immunity, and new aspects of antigen design to aid vaccine effectiveness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND KEAP1 mutations have been associated with reduced survival in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), particularly in the presence of STK11/KRAS alterations. We hypothesized that, beyond co-occurring genomic events, clonality prediction may help identify deleterious KEAP1 mutations and their counterparts with retained sensitivity to ICIs. PATIENTS AND METHODS Beta-binomial modelling of sequencing read counts was used to infer KEAP1 clonal inactivation by combined somatic mutation and loss of heterozygosity (KEAP1 C-LOH) versus partial inactivation [KEAP1 clonal diploid-subclonal (KEAP1 CD-SC)] in the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) MetTropism cohort (N = 2550). Clonality/LOH prediction was compared to a streamlined clinical classifier that relies on variant allele frequencies (VAFs) and tumor purity (TP) (VAF/TP ratio). The impact of this classification on survival outcomes was tested in two independent cohorts of LUAD patients treated with immunotherapy (MSK/Rome N = 237; DFCI N = 461). Immune-related features were studied by exploiting RNA-sequencing data (TCGA) and multiplexed immunofluorescence (DFCI mIF cohort). RESULTS Clonality/LOH inference in the MSK MetTropism cohort overlapped with a clinical classification model defined by the VAF/TP ratio. In the ICI-treated MSK/Rome discovery cohort, predicted KEAP1 C-LOH mutations were associated with shorter progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to KEAP1 wild-type cases (PFS log-rank P = 0.001; OS log-rank P < 0.001). Similar results were obtained in the DFCI validation cohort (PFS log-rank P = 0.006; OS log-rank P = 0.014). In both cohorts, we did not observe any significant difference in survival outcomes when comparing KEAP1 CD-SC and wild-type tumors. Immune deconvolution and multiplexed immunofluorescence revealed that KEAP1 C-LOH and KEAP1 CD-SC differed for immune-related features. CONCLUSIONS KEAP1 C-LOH mutations are associated with an immune-excluded phenotype and worse clinical outcomes among advanced LUAD patients treated with ICIs. By contrast, survival outcomes of patients whose tumors harbored KEAP1 CD-SC mutations were similar to those with KEAP1 wild-type LUADs.

Abstract
PURPOSE Urinary tract infection is one of the most prevalent disease affecting people from all age groups. For its diagnosis, conventional culture and antibiotic susceptibility is the gold standard. However, its major limitation is that the results take minimum of 24 h and antibiotic susceptibility is available after 48 h. Automated culture methods having comparable sensitivity and specificity as compared to conventional culture should be evaluated for routine diagnostics. With this aim we evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of automated urine culture method HB&L uroquattro by comparing with the gold standard conventional culture method. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 1220 urine samples were included in the study. Semi-quantitative urine culture was performed using standard methods on cysteine lactose electrolyte deficient medium. For the automated culture, HB&L Uroquattro (Alifax, Polverara, PD, Italy), standard guidelines given in the manual of the instrument were followed. Diagnostic performance in terms of sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios, positive and negative predictive values were calculated. RESULTS Based on the final interpretation of conventional culture for the total 1220 samples, 26 samples (2.1%) showed major non-concordance as they were identified as sterile by HB&L but had significant growth by conventional culture and 19.9% showed minor non-concordance. At 100-999 colony forming unit/ml, HB&L has high negative predictive value i.e. 96.6% with 95% CI (95.2%-97.6%) and sensitivity i.e. 92.66% with 95% CI of (89.42%-95.15%). CONCLUSION The HB&L Uroquattro seems to be a reliable instrument to obtain urine microbiological results in a timely manner. This technique can give presumptive report to the clinician within 5 h only for initiation of empirical antibiotics in cases of positive results.

Abstract
The current research includes the synthesis, improvement of NaCMC-cl-DMAA/AAc hydrogel and in-situ controlled release of gentamicin within various pH environments. The prepared hydrogel was then modified using boron nitride nanosheets aiming to enhancement in the adsorption rate. The prepared hydrogels were investigated by FTIR, XRD, FESEM, TGA/DSC, swelling and cell viability analysis. Cytotoxicity study indicated that prepared sample has a cytocompatibility nature towards healthy normal human cell line (FR2 cells). By changing the pH environment, the drug release properties of the hydrogels can be controlled. The cumulative rate of release for NaCMC-cl-DMAA/AAc hydrogel was 76.5 % at pH = 2.2 and 87.5 % at pH = 7.4. Whereas drug release rate for NaCMC-cl-DMAA/AAc-BNNSs hydrogel composite was 78.6 % at pH = 2.2 and 97.3 % at pH = 7.4 within 4320 min. Gentamicin release kinetics have been determined using the Korsemeyar-Peppas model, which confirms the drug release mechanism.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Poor muscle health is associated with a series of chronic and metabolic conditions that are prevalent in individuals who chronically experience poor-quality sleep. But there is no study deciphering the role of sleep deprivation on muscle ageing. Therefore, in the present study we have measured the ultrastructure, histopathology, and oxidative stressors in soleus muscle of wistar rat after sleep deprivation and recovery sleep.
Material and Methods
The experiments were conducted in 18 rats of three groups. Group I rats had normal sleep wake cycle, Group II rats were subjected to 24 h sleep deprivation (SD) by gentle handling method1 and Group III rats had recovery sleep after 24 h SD. At the end of the sleep, sleep deprivation and recovery period, soleus muscle tissue was collected for ultrastructural, histological and oxidative stress markers. Oxidative damage was assessed by lipid peroxidation, catalase activity, reduced glutathione and nuclear labelling of 8-OHdG. The study was conducted as per the guidelines of the Institutional Animal Ethics Committee (960/IAEC/16).
Results
The data demonstrated that SD leads to ultrastructural changes in soleus muscle which includes sarcolemmal and mitochondrial alterations. In case of histopathological and histomorphological changes there was signs of tissue degeneration, inflammatory infiltrate in type I fibres and muscle atrophy was observed in soleus muscles. There was significant increase in level of 8-OHdG (p=0.02) and malondialdehyde in 24h SD (p=0.02) than control and recovery sleep groups. Moreover, the catalase activity and reduced glutathione level was significantly decreased in 24h SD group (p≤0.02) than control and recovery sleep.
Conclusion
24hr sleep deprivation leads to an ageing like state in the skeletal muscle, which was recovered after sleep rebound.

Abstract
Background
Intracerebroventricular streptozotocin (ICV-STZ) injection is among the best animal models to simulate sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (sAD). Abnormality in brain insulin signalling, neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation, cholinergic damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, genetic abnormality, respiratory problem, oxidative stress, gliosis, sleep disturbances are associated with cognitive abnormalities seen in ICV-STZ injected rats. Available experimental evidence has used varying doses of STZ (<1 to 3mg/kg) and studied its effect for different study durations, ranging from 14-21 (short), 30-42 (mild), 90-105 (moderate) and 250-270 (long) days. These studies indicated that 3mg/kg of body-weight is the optimum dose for inducing sAD in the rodents. However, studies on the pathological process with related the morphological and functional abnormalities reported were illusive.
Objective/Method
Hence in the present study, we have investigated the morpho-functional changes after 3mg/kg ICV-STZ treatment with a follow-up of two months in 54 male Wistar rats (ethical no. 937/IAEC/PhD-2016).
Results
Exhibited a spatial, episodic and avoidance memory decline and increase in anxiety (p<0.05) in ICV-STZ group progressively with time from 15th day to 60th day post-injection. Morphometry showed hippocampal atrophy with CA1, CA3 layer thinning (p ≤0.01) and loss of neurons (p<0.0001) associated with third ventricular enlargement (p= 0.007) in ICV-STZ rats versus sham, along-with extracellular amyloid plaque in AD rats with Congored staining. In addition, spine morphometry with Golgi-Cox impregnation of mossy fibre showed a reduction of spine density in AD group versus control and sham group (p<0.0001). Finally, immunohistochemistry of GSK3ß, PI3K and mtCOX-1 antigen in coronal sections revealed an increase in mean intensity of GSK3ß and decrease in PI3K and mtCox-1 in brain areas associated with limbic system in ICV-STZ group on 60th day.
Conclusion
These findings suggest progressive dementia and anxiety in 3mg/kg STZ treated rats, which may be due to hippocampal atrophy, amyloidopathy, ventricular enlargement, synaptic dysfunction and deficits in energy homeostasis of brain.

Abstract
Introduction:
β-lactam antibiotics, mainly cephalosporins, and carbapenems, have been the mainstay of treatment for infections caused by Enterobacterales. However, their role in treating clinical infections has become limited because of the increase in resistance. There is a need to have cost-effective and rapid methods for antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods for newer antibiotics like ceftazidime-avibactam against carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), which can be applied in routine clinical microbiology laboratories. With this aim, the present study was conducted to compare the disk diffusion and gradient diffusion, i.e., the E-test method with the reference broth microdilution (BMD) method for in-vitro testing of ceftazidime-avibactam against CRE.
Material and Methods:
A total of 111 CRE isolates from various clinical samples were included. Conventional PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) was done for the detection of genes encoding carbapenemases and to see their expression, modified carbapenem inactivation method (mCIM) along with EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) carbapenem inactivation method (eCIM) was done.
Results:
42.3% (47/111) isolates were resistant to ceftazidime-avibactam by the standard broth microdilution method; however, 45.9% (51/111) were resistant by both disk diffusion and E-test. In 5.4% of isolates (similar in both methods), microbroth dilution method results did not match with E-strip and disk diffusion. Very major errors (VME) by both disk diffusion and E-test were found in 2.1% (1/47), and major errors (ME) were found in 7.8% (5/64) isolates (similar isolates in both methods). The overall categorical agreement (CA) rate was 94.6% for both E-test and disk diffusion, and the essential agreement (EA) rate was 90.1% (100/111) for E-test. 98% (109/111) of CRE harbored carbapenemase genes either singly (30.3%) or in combination with others (69.7%).
Conclusion:
In conclusion, for CRE, E-test and the disk diffusion method for ceftazidime-avibactam depicted an acceptable performance as an alternative to the reference broth microdilution method.

Abstract
The generation, manipulation and quantification of non-classical light, such as quantum-entangled photon pairs, differs significantly from methods with classical light. Thus, quantum measures could be harnessed to give new information about the interaction of light with matter. In this study we investigate if quantum entanglement can be used to diagnose disease. In particular, we test whether brain tissue from subjects suffering from Alzheimer's disease can be distinguished from healthy tissue. We find that this is indeed the case. Polarization-entangled photons traveling through brain tissue lose their entanglement via a decohering scattering interaction that gradually renders the light in a maximally mixed state. We found that in thin tissue samples (between 120 and 600 micrometers) photons decohere to a distinguishable lesser degree in samples with Alzheimer's disease than in healthy-control ones. Thus, it seems feasible that quantum measures of entangled photons could be used as a means to identify brain samples with the neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract
Introduction This study assessed the relationship between intention to receive a COVID-19 vaccine and intention to receive a seasonal influenza vaccine, as well as how intention to receive a COVID-19 vaccine has changed during the pandemic. Methods Residents of British Columbia aged 25–69 years were invited to complete an online cross-sectional survey from August 2020 - March 2021. Mixed-effects logistic regression models assessed the relationship between intention to receive a COVID-19 vaccine and intention to receive the seasonal influenza vaccine. A generalized additive mixed model was used to investigate changes in COVID-19 vaccine intention during the pandemic (August 2020–March 2021). The relationship between intention to receive a COVID-19 vaccine and retrospective overall perceived value of vaccines prior to and during the pandemic was also considered. Results Of 6,333 participants, 80.2 % of participants were ‘somewhat or very likely’ to receive a COVID-19 vaccine and 69 % of participants reported intending to receive a seasonal influenza vaccine. In multivariable modeling, intention to receive a COVID-19 vaccine was strongly associated with intention to receive a seasonal influenza vaccine (aOR = 4.25, 95 %CI 3.33–5.43). Intention to receive a COVID-19 vaccine increased over the study period (p < 0.0001), with the largest increase coinciding with the announcement of forthcoming approvals of COVID-19 vaccines in November 2020 (aOR = 1.45, 95 %CI 1.11–1.91). Conclusion Intention to receive the COVID-19 vaccine was associated seasonal influenza vaccine intention, which is an important relationship to measure for implementation and future planning of COVID-19 booster doses. We found an increase in the intention to receive a COVID-19 vaccine after public announcements of forthcoming vaccine approval, which highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and reporting of vaccine uptake, and the potential impact of emerging vaccine safety and efficacy information may have on vaccine acceptance.

Abstract
IntroductionT cells are crucial for pathogenesis as well as control for tuberculosis (TB). Although much is known about the signaling pathways which are required for the activation of T cells during acute infection but the way these cells respond during persistent of infection still remained elusive. Therefore, it is rationale to understand T cell activation during tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE), which is similar to bacterial persistency system.MethodsHerein, we will employ T cell receptor (TCR) based approaches for studying events of T cell activation pathways in cells of blood and pleural fluid among patients with TPE. We performed spectrofluorimetric analysis to study effect of M. tuberculosis antigens, ESAT-6 and Ag85A stimulation on intracellular calcium levels, Phosphorylation levels of ZAP-70 (Zeta-chain-associated protein kinase 70), PKC-θ (Protein kinase C theta), Erk1/2 (Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2) and p-38 two important members of MAPKs (Mitogen activated Protein kinases) in CD3 and CD28 induced cells of blood and pleural fluid of same patients with TPE by western blotting. Patients with non-TPE were also included as matching disease controls in this study.ResultsWe observed significantly higher intracellular calcium levels, Phosphorylation levels of ZAP-70, Erk1/2 and p-38 in CD3 and CD28 induced cells of pleural fluid as compared to the blood cells of same patients with TPE. Alteration in the activation of these events has also been noted after stimulation of ESAT-6 and Ag85A.DiscussionPresent study demonstrated up-regulated activation of TCR mediated T cell signaling events at local disease site (Pleural fluid) as compared to the blood sample of TB pleurisy patients which could be involved in T-cell dysfunctioning during the progression of the disease and also could be responsible for Th 1 dominance at local disease site in patients with TPE.

Abstract
Aim We aimed to examine the effect of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic on Academic Foundation Programme (AFP) trainees. Methods A voluntary, anonymous questionnaire was circulated to all UK AFP doctors. Data were collected from February 2021 to April 2021 then analysed. Results Of a possible 1,096 trainees, 149 responded to the survey: 48% of respondents were at least partially redeployed, 31% lost academic time and 47% had projects cancelled or postponed. In free-text responses, despite some research opportunities, frustration at lost research time and opportunities were common themes. Trainees also highlighted communication and wellbeing issues. Conclusion These results demonstrate that the overall effect of COVID-19 on this cohort cannot be underestimated. We propose that a series of measures are implemented to protect and support academic trainees. We hope that these measures would encourage high-quality academic output and help secure the development of the academic clinical workforce.

Abstract
Introduction In the ongoing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic, a long hospital stay and empirical broad-spectrum antibiotics make the patients prone to acquire nosocomial infections especially with unconventional organisms, and Chryseobacterium gleum is one such rare nosocomial pathogen.
Methods The given study is a case-series-based study conducted from September 2020 to April 2021 in which clinically suspected pneumonia patients who recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were included.
Results Seventeen C. gleum isolates were obtained in pure culture from the tracheal aspirates of nine COVID-19 patients (including repeat samples to rule out colonization) within a period of eight months (September 2020–April 2021). Our records showed that there has been an increase in the number of isolates of C. gleum obtained in respiratory samples in 2020. We also did a review of literature of all the cases of C. gleum pneumonia reported till now.
Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study reporting the isolation of this rare pathogen from COVID-19 patients with clinical significance in a large cohort of patients. Therefore, it becomes important to consider this pathogen as a significant cause of respiratory infections, especially in patients recovered post COVID-19.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Myocardial dysfunction is well established in systemic sclerosis (SSc). The utility of standard echocardiography is limited to detect the onset of myocardial dysfunction. Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) and strain imaging has emerged as a useful technique to quantify left ventricle hemodynamics and myocardial function in early stages of myocardial dysfunction. We aimed to systematically analyze the existing literature on the application of STE and strain analysis in identifying SSc associated myocardial dysfunction
Methods
PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar were queried for studies from the inception of the databases to 2022. Case control studies that used 2D STE for assessment of strain in SSc patients and controls, were included for the analysis. PRISMA guidelines were followed for selections of studies. Two independent reviewers extracted data. Analysis was done using Cochrane Review Manager 5.0.
Results
Total of 19 studies were included in the analysis that compared strain analysis in SSc patient's vs healthy controls. Of the 16 studies that reported left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain, we found significantly lower LV global longitudinal strain in SSc patients (mean difference 1.92; 95% CI 0.98–2.87). Six studies reported LV circumferential strain which was noted to be lower in SSc patients compared to healthy controls (mean difference 3.55; 95% CI 1.60–5.51). Five studies reported LV global radial strain with a similar decrease in radial strain among SSc patients compared to controls (mean difference 4.39; 95% CI −6.95 to −1.83). 10 studies reported right ventricular longitudinal strain with a decrease in longitudinal strain in SSc patient's vs controls (mean difference 2.57; 95% CI 2.03–3.12).
Conclusions
SSc patients have lower strain values compared to controls, which is suggestive of an impaired myocardial function in left and right ventricle. Strain analysis by STE could help with early detection of myocardial dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allele-specific KRAS inhibitors are an emerging class of cancer therapies. KRAS-mutant (KRASMUT) non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) exhibit heterogeneous outcomes, driven by differences in underlying biology shaped by co-mutations. In contrast to KRASG12C NSCLC, KRASG12D NSCLC is associated with low/never-smoking status and is largely uncharacterized. PATIENTS AND METHODS Clinicopathologic and genomic information were collected from patients with NSCLCs harboring a KRAS mutation at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI), Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Imperial College of London. Multiplexed immunofluorescence for CK7, programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), Foxp3, and CD8 was carried out on a subset of samples with available tissue at the DFCI. Clinical outcomes to PD-(L)1 inhibition ± chemotherapy were analyzed according to KRAS mutation subtype. RESULTS Of 2327 patients with KRAS-mutated (KRASMUT) NSCLC, 15% (n = 354) harbored KRASG12D. Compared to KRASnon-G12D NSCLC, KRASG12D NSCLC had a lower pack-year (py) smoking history (median 22.5 py versus 30.0 py, P < 0.0001) and was enriched in never smokers (22% versus 5%, P < 0.0001). KRASG12D had lower PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) (median 1% versus 5%, P < 0.01) and lower tumor mutation burden (TMB) compared to KRASnon-G12D (median 8.4 versus 9.9 mt/Mb, P < 0.0001). Of the samples which underwent multiplexed immunofluorescence, KRASG12D had lower intratumoral and total CD8+PD1+ T cells (P < 0.05). Among 850 patients with advanced KRASMUT NSCLC who received PD-(L)1-based therapies, KRASG12D was associated with a worse objective response rate (ORR) (15.8% versus 28.4%, P = 0.03), progression-free survival (PFS) [hazard ratio (HR) 1.51, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.45-2.00, P = 0.003], and overall survival (OS; HR 1.45, 1.05-1.99, P = 0.02) to PD-(L)1 inhibition alone but not to chemo-immunotherapy combinations [ORR 30.6% versus 35.7%, P = 0.51; PFS HR 1.28 (95%CI 0.92-1.77), P = 0.13; OS HR 1.36 (95%CI 0.95-1.96), P = 0.09] compared to KRASnon-G12D. CONCLUSIONS KRASG12D lung cancers harbor distinct clinical, genomic, and immunologic features compared to other KRAS-mutated lung cancers and worse outcomes to PD-(L)1 blockade. Drug development for KRASG12D lung cancers will have to take these differences into account.

Abstract
Background
Human papillomavirus (HPV) E6/E7 mRNA tests determine the oncogenic activity of the virus and represent a good clinical biomarker for predicting the risk of cervical cancer. So, the present study was conducted to know the role of HPV E6/E7 mRNA as a predictive biomarker for cervical carcinoma.
Methodology
The present study was conducted on 55 clinical samples of cervical scrapings and biopsy from the clinically suspected cases (based on signs and symptoms) of cervical cancer having abnormal PAP smear. The samples were processed in three steps—(1) HPV DNA detection, (2) HPV E6/E7 mRNA detection, and (3) histopathological analysis.
Results
Out of a total of 55 patients, 16 (29.09%) were positive for both HPV E6/E7 mRNA and HPV DNA and six were positive for only HPV DNA. So, a total of 22 (40%) patients were positive for HPV DNA. Out of these 22 samples, 10 (45.5%) were of HPV-16, six (27.3%) were of HPV-18, four (18.2%) were of HPV-31, and two (9.1%) were of HPV-45. Out of total 16 patients positive for HPV E6/E7 mRNA, 10 (62.5%) were of genotype 16 and six (37.5%) were of genotype 18. The patients who were found positive for HPV 31 and 45 genotypes did not have E6/E7 mRNA expression. On colposcopic-guided biopsy, among these 16 samples, eight (50%) were diagnosed with invasive squamous cell carcinoma, six (37.5%) with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN3), and two (12.5%) with CIN2. Out of those six patients in whom only HPV DNA was positive, five had normal biopsy findings and one had CIN1.
Conclusion
The present study suggests that HPV E6/E7 mRNA detection could be more reliable than DNA testing for predicting the risk of progression of HPV-induced cervical lesions to cervical carcinoma and it can be used as a non-invasive tool for triage and patient follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Emphysematous osteomyelitis (EO) is an extremely rare form of osteomyelitis which is complicated mainly by infection with gas-forming organisms. The common causative agents of this disease are mainly members of Enterobacteriaceae family, the most common are Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae along with anaerobes. A total of 48 cases of EO have been reported in the literature till now globally and none have documented the isolation of Corynebacterium amycolatum. CASE PRESENTATION We report a rare case of emphysematous osteomyelitis of the spine and pelvis due to Escherichia coli along with the isolation of Corynebacterium amycolatum from the same pus samples on two consecutive occasions in a 50-year-old female with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, who was successively treated with antibiotics and drainage of pus. We also did a brief review of the literature of all cases reported till now. CONCLUSION The role of Corynebacterium amycolatum in the etiology of emphysematous osteomyelitis needs to be evaluated further in future studies as we cannot completely ignore its isolation in two consecutive samples as a mere contaminant.

Abstract
Purpose: To report clinical features, antibiotic susceptibility profile, management, and outcomes of a cluster outbreak of post-cataract surgery Pseudomonas stutzeri endophthalmitis. Methods: This was a hospital-based case series in which 14 patients with acute postoperative endophthalmitis who underwent cataract surgery on the same day were included. Based on severity of presentation, they either underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with intraocular antibiotics (IOAB) or vitreous tap with IOAB. Vitreous aspirates and environmental surveillance samples were inoculated on culture media and further processed by MALDI-TOF MS for identification and Vitek3 for susceptibility profile. Results: There were 8 females and 6 males with a mean age of 62.14 ± 8.08 years. Presenting signs included corneal folds (100%), hypopyon (57.1%) and fibrin (50%). Ten patients with mild presentation underwent vitreous tap with IOAB. Four patients with severe presentation underwent PPV with IOAB. Pseudomonas stutzeri was isolated from the vitreous samples and was pan-sensitive. Six eyes required multiple interventions. Favorable outcome was obtained in 12 eyes, one eye developed phthisis, and one patient was lost to follow-up. Conclusion: We report the first ever cluster outbreak of Pseudomonas stutzeri endophthalmitis following phacoemulsification with IOL implantation in a single surgeon setting. Majority of the patients had a mild presentation and responded well to targeted anti-microbial treatment.

Abstract
Introduction
Psychiatry emergencies in India is major challenge for emergency service providers due to rapid growth of various behavioural, higher morbidity and mortality rate. Despite, psychiatry conditions are neglected area related to stigma, share, lack of awareness, and superstitious beliefs. There is an urgent need for specialist psychiatric emergency services, which can fill the huge gap between policymakers and health service providers joined together.
Objectives
Present feasibility study has been undertaken to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combined emergency and Ayurveda medicine management of psychiatric emergencies in community-based settings.
Methods
Ayu-Emergency Care project was developed in partnership with policy makers, researchers and health care providers, a collaborative platform of emergency medicine and Ayurveda medicine (Indian Traditional Medicine) for developing whole-system perspective, where providers work in a coordinated and joined-up way. Twenty trained care providers in psychiatry emergency and Ayurveda management worked in partnership with community-based organisation.
Results
Patients with major clinical difficulties, in the acute phase were treated and managed by Ayu-Emergencypractitioners. Severe Agitation and violence relating to substance abuse, anxiety disorder and psychosis were the most common admission diagnoses. 2-weeks results indicate that Ayurveda intervention can reduce anxiety(p<0.01), aggression (p< 0.001) and agitation (p<0.01) significantly with no side effects reported. Intervention found to be clinically beneficial and cost-efficient alternative to out-of-home placements (i.e., Incarceration, psychiatric hospitalisation).
Conclusions
The study’s findings highlight safety, efficacy and feasibility of intervention. Patients both prefer and seem to benefit from community-based ayu-psychiatric care, and early-intervention community program could be a good model for such care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Neuroborreliosis is generally known to be a disease confined to the Western part of the globe. It is not commonly encountered in this part of the world. Interestingly, we recently came across a series of cases of Lyme's disease with a plethora of neurological presentations. Most of the cases were a diagnostic dilemma, with poor response to immunotherapy and on subsequent evaluation all were found to have positive Borrelia antibodies. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight cases were selected from the tertiary care hospital in North western India. Patients were suspected to have Neuroborreliosis whose neurological presentations were atypical for other classical neurological disorders, who had a progressive or relapsing clinical course and had responded poorly to the initial treatment given for the previous neurological diagnosis. Skin lesions were present in some cases. The patients underwent a detailed clinical assessment which comprised of an elaborate history including history of travel, any insect bite or skin rashes along with a complete systemic and neurological examination. All the required blood investigations, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Brain, Computer Tomography Angiography (CT), Nerve conduction study (NCS) and Electromyographic (EMG) studies and Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) studies were done as indicated in each case. Borrelia antibody titre was done in all the patients using immunoblot technique. RESULTS Among the 8 patients, 6 were male and 2 were females. The age group was between 25-70 years. The clinical presentation was acute, subacute or chronic. One patient gave a clear history of tick bite. Two patients had skin lesions and one had the pathognomic "eschar". All the suspected 8 patients had either IgG or IgM or both IgG and IgM Borrelia antibodies positive. Almost all the patients had previously received either steroids or intravenous immunoglobulins, but had not adequately responded to immunotherapy. These patients were given a trial of injectable Ceftriaxone and oral Doxycycline. Most of them either showed partial or complete clinical improvement. CONCLUSION Lyme's disease, a common disease of the west does exist in the Indian subcontinent as well. Because of increasing global travel and migration and change in vector habitat the disease seems to have percolated in the non endemic areas too. Proper history of travel or exposure to tick bite is important. We want to emphasize, Neuroborreliosis, a great mimicker may have diverse and varied neurological presentations and has a potential for reversibility with appropriate treatment even after a significant delay in diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is well-described entity in literature. However, large studies on clinical and radiological profile are still very few from the Indian subcontinent. AIMS To analyze the clinical and radiological profile of IIH and correlation of various clinical and radiological parameters with papilledema and CSF opening pressure. SETTING AND DESIGN Hospital-based observational, descriptive study. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study analyzed 122 patients admitted in the department of Neurology (from January 2014 to December 2018) for detailed history, clinical examination, and neuroimaging. CSF manometry and routine CSF analysis were done. All participants met the modified Dandy criteria. Patients with secondary causes of raised ICP and primary ocular pathology were excluded. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test. RESULTS Among 122 cases 86 (70.49%) were females. The mean age was 33 years. 62 (50.82%) cases were obese. Headache was the most common symptom (114/122; 93.44%). Bilateral papilledema was noted in 114 (93.44%) cases. Higher grades of papilledema had a correlation with higher CSF opening pressure. Empty sella was the most common radiological finding (100/122; 81.97%). All radiological findings except empty sella had a correlation with higher CSF opening pressure. CONCLUSION IIH typically affects obese females of childbearing age group. However, it is not uncommon in the nonobese and male sex. Obesity may not be a dominant risk factor for the development of IIH in the Indian subcontinent. Cases with normal BMI and male sex with clinical features of raised intracranial pressure and normal neuroimaging should also be evaluated for IIH. Cases with refractory headache and empty sella on MRI should be evaluated for IIH.

Abstract
Industrial metal ion pollution has been considered the chief source of water contaminants all over the world. In the present research, we have prepared gum tragacanth cross-linked 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-acrylamide (GT-cl-(HEMA-co-AAm)) hydrogel and gum tragacanth cross-linked 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-acrylamide/zinc oxide (GT-cl-(HEMA-co-AAm)/ZnO) hydrogel composite with better Hg2+ adsorption capability. GT-cl-(HEMA-co-AAm)/ZnO hydrogel composite (154.8 mg g-1) exhibited higher Hg2+ adsorption than GT-cl-(HEMA-co-AAm) hydrogel. To address the performance of GT-cl-(HEMA-co-AAm) hydrogel and GT-cl-(HEMA-co-AAm)/ZnO hydrogel composite, batch adsorption experiments were successfully conducted under different optimised conditions. At last, in-vitro antibacterial activities of Hg2+ loaded GT-cl-(HEMA-co-AAm) and GT-cl-(HEMA-co-AAm)/ZnO were performed in two different well Staphylococcus aureus (gram-positive) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (gram-negative) bacteria. As a positive control, ampicillin was employed against both types of bacteria. This methodology for the reusability of material has a great ecofriendly impression for minimising secondary waste derived from adsorption and can help design upgraded antibacterial agents.
