Exploring the globoid cell leukodystrophy protein network and therapeutic interventions.

Globoid cell leukodystrophy is a severe rare disorder characterized by white matter degradation, resulting in a progressive loss of physical and mental abilities and has extremely limited therapeutic interventions. Therefore, this study aimed to delve into the Globoid cell leukodystrophy associated intricate network of differentially expressed genes (p < 0.05, |Fc|> 1) to identify potential druggable targets and possible therapeutic interventions using small molecules.

Crossed cerebellar Diaschisis in mesial temporal sclerosis: a rare clinical entity.

Crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) is a phenomenon of functional diaschisis that occurs after damage to the cerebral hemisphere and results in decreased activity of the cerebellum outside the primary focus. In this case report, we present the case of a patient admitted for seizures who was diagnosed with CCD due to Mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS). This event is generally observed in ischemic stroke cases and can occur epileptic seizure disorders.

A Rare Case of Cystic Artery Pseudoaneurysm because of Cholecystitis Managed with Non-invasive Technique.

Cystic artery pseudoaneurysm due to acute on chronic cholecystitis is very rare in spite of the high incidence of cholecystitis, and very few cases have been reported in the literature. Most of the pseudoaneurysms are symptomatic at the time of diagnosis due to rupture. Very few cases of unruptured cystic artery pseudoaneurysm caused by cholecystitis have been reported in the literature.

Integration of network pharmacology, molecular docking, and simulations to evaluate phytochemicals from against cervical cancer.

Netting into the Sophoretin pool: An approach to trace GSTP1 inhibitors for reversing chemoresistance.

Chemoresistance, a significant challenge in cancer treatment, is often associated with the cellular glutathione-related detoxification system. The GSTP1 isoenzyme (glutathione S-transferases) plays a critical role in the cytoplasmic inactivation of anticancer drugs. This suggests the identification of GSTP1 inhibitors to combat chemoresistance.

Evaluation of Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Activities, and Metabolite Profiling of Selected Medicinal Plants of Nepal.

This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant, antiarthritic, and anti-inflammatory properties of extracts from the leaves of twelve different medicinal plants in Nepal.

Results revealed that most of the leaf extracts contained phenolic compounds, flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, and saponins.

Layered Sheath-Assisted Dissection and Retrieval of Stuck Port Catheters: A Single-Center Experience.

Chemoports are often required for oncological patients requiring repeated blood draws and long-term drug therapy. However, complications such as dislodgement, fracture, thrombosis, and venous occlusion may occur if the ports remain unremoved when not in use. Nonetheless, existing techniques require multiple accesses or release of the stuck catheter tip to retrieve the catheter, making the procedure inconvenient.

Effect of Varying Normal Stiffness on Soft Rock Joints under Cyclic Shear Loads.

The evaluation of changes in shear resistance on soft (or weathered) rock joints under cyclic shear loads with constant normal load (CNL) and constant normal stiffness (CNS) significantly contributes to increasing the safety and stability of rock slopes and underground structures. In this study, a series of cyclic shear tests were conducted on simulated soft rock joints with regular (15°-15°, 30°-30°) and irregular (15°-30°) asperities under different normal stiffnesses (). The results indicated that the first peak shear stress increases with the increase in up to the normal stiffness of the joints ().

Role of MRI and FIGO Staging in Evaluation of Fibroids - A Pictorial Review.

Uterine fibroids are the most common gynaecologic malignancy, but only 20% of women need treatment to relieve their symptoms. The management of fibroids has changed from open to laparoscopic hysterectomy, myomectomy and minimal invasive techniques such as uterine artery embolization and ablation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the best modality in the diagnosis, characterization and number of fibroids as well as for accessing extrauterine relationships, associated diseases; it also helps in planning, choosing and prognosis of treatment options.

Evaluation of Anxiety, Pain, and Hemodynamic Changes during Surgical Removal of Lower Third Molar under Local Anesthesia.

Aim: The aim of this study are to determine the hemodynamic changes in healthy patients during the surgical removal of lower third molar and to evaluate whether these variations are attributable to patient anxiety and pain experienced during surgical procedure.

Materials And Methods: Sixty healthy patients were evaluated (i) to determine the hemodynamic changes (systolic blood pressure [SBP], diastolic blood pressure [DBP], heart rate [HR], and oxygen saturation) at nine occasions: before starting the surgical procedure, 1 min and 4 min after local anesthetic injection, during the incision, at the time of ostectomy, at the completion of tooth removal, at the start and completion of suturing, and finally, after completion of surgery and (ii) to evaluate whether these variations are attributable to patient anxiety and pain experienced during the surgical procedure. Hemodynamic variables were compared between the gender and at different time points by performing two-way analysis of variance for repeated measures.

Chick Embryo: A Preclinical Model for Understanding Ischemia-Reperfusion Mechanism.

Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-related disorders, such as stroke, myocardial infarction, and peripheral vascular disease, are among the most frequent causes of disease and death. Tissue injury or death may result from the initial ischemic insult, primarily determined by the magnitude and duration of the interruption in blood supply and then by the subsequent reperfusion-induced damage. Various and models are currently available to study I/R mechanism in the brain and other tissues.

Origin of Thyrolingual Trunk from the Common Carotid Artery.

Common carotid artery (CCA) usually does not have any branches in the neck and divides into internal and external carotid artery. Superior thyroid and lingual artery (commonly called as thyro lingual trunk) are the branches of external carotid artery. We report a case of rare origin of thyrolingual trunk from the CCA in a case of ruptured intracranial aneurysm.
