Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluates lung cancer screening using low-dose CT scans in countries with high tuberculosis rates, focusing on the screen-positive rate (SPR) while addressing concerns about false positives from previous TB infections.
- - The analysis included 44 studies with nearly 477,424 participants, finding an overall SPR of 18.36% and a lung cancer detection rate (LCDR) of 0.94%; NLST criteria resulted in a significantly higher SPR compared to Lung-RADS.
- - The findings suggest that lung cancer screening with LDCT in high tuberculosis-burden countries has similar SPR and LCDR rates to areas with lower TB rates, recommending Lung-RADS criteria to reduce false positives.
Background: Fungal infective endocarditis (IE) is a rare, yet increasingly recognised condition associated with substantial mortality rates. and are among the notable causative agents, presenting diverse clinical manifestations and complexities in diagnosis and management.
Objectives: This study was undertaken to examine the clinical profiles, diagnostic challenges, treatment modalities, and outcomes of four compelling cases involving and endocarditis.
Article Synopsis
- Traditional clinical guidelines often mismatch the strength of recommendations with the quality of evidence, prompting the need for improvement in the field of urinary tract infections (UTIs).
- The objective was to create a comprehensive guideline that aligns evidence and recommendations better, utilizing a systematic review involving 54 experts across 12 countries who analyzed 914 articles on various aspects of UTIs.
- Only 6 out of 37 questions could be clearly recommended based on strong evidence, while the rest resulted in clinical reviews outlining the risks and benefits of existing approaches.
Finding inexpensive and efficient anode materials is crucial for the oxidation of methanol in the direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), which is the key electrode reaction. Herein, we report metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived CoO, NiO, and NiCoO (where = 1.5, 1, and 0.

In this retrospective study, demographic, clinical features, details of infections, immunosuppressive therapy, and outcomes of patients with SSc attending clinics at department of Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology, Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow, India from 1990 to 2022 were captured. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression was applied to identify independent predictors of infection.
