Review on the Biogenesis of Platelets in Lungs and Its Alterations in SARS-CoV-2 Infection Patients.

Thrombocytes (platelets) are the type of blood cells that are involved in hemostasis, thrombosis, etc. For the conversion of megakaryocytes into thrombocytes, the thrombopoietin (TPO) protein is essential which is encoded by the gene. gene is present in the long arm of chromosome number 3 (3q26).

Formation of nanostructures on magnesium alloy by anodization for potential biomedical applications.

In the present work, we have investigated the formation of nanostructures on AZ31 magnesium alloy using electrochemical anodization technique. The formed nanostructures were efficiently showed bone-like apatite formation followed by its gradual increase, when immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) and it exhibited controlled degradation in 7 days. Cell viability study was performed using MG-63 cells (human osteosarcoma cell lines) and revealed that the nanostructured surface has excellent biocompatibility by enhancing both cell adhesion and cell growth.

Is Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Still the Gold Standard Procedure for Indians? Mid- to Long-Term Outcomes from a Tertiary Care Center.

Purpose: Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the oldest and most widely performed bariatric surgery worldwide. There is, however, a scarcity of mid- to long-term data of RYGB, especially from the Indian subcontinent.

Materials And Methods: The study was a single-center, retrospective analysis from patients who underwent RYGB between January 2009 and November 2014 from a tertiary care center in India.

Impact of Bariatric Surgery on Female Reproductive Health and Maternal Outcomes.

Introduction: Obesity has a derogatory effect on female reproductive health. Obesity contributes to difficulty in natural conception, increased risk of pregnancy-associated complications, miscarriages, congenital anomalies, and also the long-term negative impact on both mother and the child.

Objectives: Our study aimed to analyze and assess the reproductive health-associated outcomes of females who underwent bariatric surgery.

Long-term outcomes of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy from the Indian subcontinent.

Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most commonly performed metabolic surgery worldwide. There are few mid- to long-term studies for LSG, especially from the Indian subcontinent.

Objective: The primary outcome of the study was percent total weight loss (%TWL), and secondary outcomes included type 2 diabetes mellitus remission (T2DM) rates, comorbidity resolution rates, revisional surgeries, and complications related to LSG, 3 and 5 years after surgery.
