Intensification mechanisms and moisture dynamics of super cyclonic storm 'Amphan' over the Bay of Bengal: Implications for aerosol re-distribution.

The present research investigates the dynamics and underlying causes contributing to the exceptional intensity of Super Cyclonic Storm (SuCS) Amphan (16th to 21st May 2020) over the Bay of Bengal (BoB), as well as its impact on aerosol redistribution along the four cities of eastern coast and north-eastern India. Notably, the SuCS was formed during the first phase of the COVID-19 lockdown in India, giving it a unique aspect of study and analysis. Our analysis based on 30 years of climatology data from Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2) reanalysis reveals 'positive' monthly anomalous winds (0.

Amyloid detection in neurodegenerative diseases using MOFs.

Neurodegenerative diseases (amyloid diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's), stemming from protein misfolding and aggregation, encompass a spectrum of disorders with severe systemic implications. Timely detection is pivotal in managing these diseases owing to their significant impact on organ function and high mortality rates. The diverse array of amyloid disorders, spanning localized and systemic manifestations, underscores the complexity of these conditions and highlights the need for advanced detection methods.

Postoperative Fracture Risk in Giant Cell Tumor: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Giant cell tumor (GCT) of the proximal femur poses various challenges in its management and recurrence. We present a rare case of GCT of proximal femur in which recurrence and coxa vara deformity were encountered after index surgery. Management of the recurrence was done with intramedullary fixation with extended curettage and bone grafting.

Symphyseal plating for pelvic fracture in a morbidly obese patient: operative challenges and innovation of a novel 'wire-ramp plate-sliding method'.

We are describing a case report of a morbidly obese patient (body mass index 41) in his mid-40s with Young and Burgess Anteroposterior Compression type II injury (AO Foundation/Orthopaedic Trauma Association type B1.2) managed by symphyseal plating. Morbid obesity made working at a depth very difficult; hence, we adopted a novel 'wire-ramp plate-sliding method'.

Functional Outcomes of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Titanium Adjustable Loop Button and Poly-L-co-DL-Lactic Acid-Beta Tricalcium Phosphate (PLDLA-bTCP) Interference Screws: A Single-Center, Retrospective, Observational Study.

Background The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a standard surgery in patients with instability of the knee caused by ACL insufficiency. Several differential procedures using grafts and implants such as loops, buttons, and screws have been described. This study aimed to assess the functional outcomes of ACL reconstruction surgery using titanium adjustable loop buttons and poly-L-co-DL-lactic acid-beta tricalcium phosphate (PLDLA-bTCP) interference screws.

Climatology and model prediction of aerosol optical properties over the Indo-Gangetic Basin in north India.

The current research focuses on the use of different simulation techniques in the future prediction of the crucial aerosol optical properties over the highly polluted Indo-Gangetic Basin in the northern part of India. The time series model was used to make an accurate forecast of aerosol optical depth (AOD) and angstrom exponent (AE), and the statistical variability of both cases was compared in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the model (training and validation). For this, different models were used to simulate the monthly average AOD and AE over Jaipur, Kanpur and Ballia during the period from 2003 to 2018.

Effect of loxapine on peripheral dopamine-like and serotonin receptors in patients with schizophrenia.

Objective: To investigate the effect of loxapine on peripheral dopamine D2-like and serotonin receptor binding and on psychotic symptoms.

Patients: Patients (n = 24) meeting the diagnostic criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision, for schizophrenia were selected from an outpatient clinic (age range 18-70 yr).

Methods: Patients were given loxapine (dose determined by a physician) for a period of 12 weeks.
