The Use of "Cancer Ratio" in Differentiating Malignant and Tuberculous Pleural Effusions: Protocol for a Prospective Observational Study.

Background: Differentiating between tuberculosis and malignancy as the cause of an exudative lymphocyte predominant pleural effusion is difficult due to similarities in the cellular and biochemical characteristics of the pleural fluid in both conditions. Microbiological tests in tubercular pleural effusions have a poor diagnostic yield, and the long turnaround time for results prevents an early diagnosis. The diagnosis of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is hampered by a variable yield of pleural fluid cytology and closed pleural biopsy and the fact that thoracoscopy may not be readily available or feasible in each patient.

Needs assessment for interprofessional education module on prevention and early detection of oral cancer among dental interns: a cross- sectional survey.

Background: The challenges associated with ensuring widespread system changes to enable early diagnosis and prevention of oral cancer could benefit from interprofessional practice. A needs assessment study was conducted to inform the Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice (IPECP) course related to oral cancer. The primary objectives of this study were 1) to establish a tool assess the knowledge attitude and practice (KAP) related to prevention and early detection of oral cancer of health professional students, and 2) to assess the same KAP of pre-licensure dental students.

First repot of causing leaf spot on in India.

The Star fruit (Averrhoa carambola L.) was globally distributed, particularly in countries like China, India, Indonesia and was renowned for its abundant vitamin, mineral and antioxidant content (Reddy et al., 2023).

On-line PAT based monitoring and control of resin aging in protein A chromatography for COGs reduction.

Resin aging is a common occurrence in chromatographic processes and generally influenced by factors such as cleaning procedure and composition of the feed stream. Two major events occur along with protein fouling, one is the loss of protein A ligand and the other is non-specific, irreversible interactions of foulants with resin particles. Both these are responsible for resin aging.

Perception of health care students towards lectures as a teaching and learning method in the COVID era - A multicentric cross-sectional study from India.

The sudden precipitation of the pandemic forced undergraduates to take refuge at home, deserting the campus. Consequently, the age-old classroom in person teaching-learning (T-L) method shifted and lessons had to be conducted online. In previous decades, archetypical classroom lectures survived a lot of criticism in the face of the quasi-passive nature of T-L  methodology.
