Two Cases of Positional Variation of the Cecum and Appendix With a Vascular Anomaly: A Diagnostic Dilemma.

The arrangement of the alimentary canal derived from the midgut exhibits a wide range of alterations. In this article, we report two cases in male cadavers aged 65 years and 70 years, respectively, in the Department of Anatomy, MVJ Medical College and Research Hospital, wherein we discovered the positional variation of the cecum and appendix with a vascular anomaly, thus the specimens were photographed to understand further. The observation of the first specimen is that the cecum and appendix were found in close proximity to the inferior surface of the right lobe of the liver with a vascular anomaly.

Estimation of Serum Ferritin in Mucormycosis Patients and Prognostication Based on the Ferritin Value.

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been implicated in a variety of vulnerable bacterial and fungal diseases. Mucormycosis is a life-threatening infection caused by fungi belonging to the class Zygomycetes and the order Mucorales. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the level of serum ferritin level in mucormycosis patients and to prognosticate them based on those values.

Computational screening and biochemical analysis of and plants to find effective inhibitors against Receptor-Binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein of SARS-Cov-2.

Although World Health Organization-approved emergency vaccines are available in many countries, the mortality rate from COVID-19 remains high due to the fourth or fifth wave and the delta variant of the coronavirus. Thus, an effective mechanistic investigation in treating this disease is urgently needed. In this work, we extracted phytochemicals from two mangrove plants, and , assessing their potential actions against the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2.

Evaluating Association of Maternal Nutritional Status With Neonatal Birth Weight in Term Pregnancies: A Cross-Sectional Study With Unexpected Outcomes.

Introduction Birth weight is described as the primary determinant of the chances of survival among newborns. Low birth weight (LBW) is considered to be a major public health issue, especially among developing countries where poor maternal nutritional status is identified as a cause of both long and short-term adverse consequences. In developing countries, the majority of the LBW infants are born at term but are affected by intrauterine growth restriction, which might have begun early in the pregnancy period.

Efficacy of Phytochemicals Derived from for the Management of COVID-19: A Combined In Silico and Biochemical Study.

Role of Adenoid-Nasopharyngeal Ratio in Assessing Adenoid Hypertrophy.

Most of the time, pediatrician is the first to see children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy (AH) and they mostly rely on clinical assessment with or without some investigation to refer these children to otorhinolaryngologist. Numerous methods have been described for evaluation of AH, but many of these methods are not possible to follow in busy pediatric outpatient unit either because of lack of cooperation from child or due to limited availability of test or due to cost constraints. This study has been conducted to determine the diagnostic accuracy of lateral neck X-ray (LNX) for assessing AH and to assess the correlation between adenoid size in LNX and clinical symptoms in a pediatric unit.
