Anal tuberculosis presented as chronic perianal abscess in an immunocompetent adult: A rare case report.

There are reported 7.5 million cases of extra pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) (EPTB) worldwide and 19% in the South-East Asia region. Anal TB represents an exceedingly uncommon extra pulmonary manifestation of TB), occurring in fewer than 1% of individuals who acquire TB.

Technology-based tobacco cessation training in Indian context.

In tobacco use disorders (TUDs), technology-based training of health-care professionals can reduce the treatment gap and bring attitudinal change. The study aimed to assess the practices and determine the change in knowledge and attitude among health-care professionals following an online training program (OTP). Half-day OTP on tobacco cessation using prepost quasi-experimental study design with a structured questionnaire-based assessment was conducted.

Revealing the role of microstructure architecture on strength and ductility of Ni microwires by in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction.

Deformation mechanisms of cold drawn and electropolished nickel microwires are studied by performing in-situ monotonous and cyclic tensile tests under synchrotron radiation. X-ray diffraction tests allow probing elastic strains in the different grain families and establishing a link with the deformation mechanisms taking place within the microwires. The measurements were carried out on several microwires with diameters ranging from as-drawn 100 µm down to 40 µm thinned down by electropolishing.
