Solitary Rectal Ulcer Syndrome - A Rare Entity in the Pediatric Population.

Objective: To study and correlate the clinicopathological findings of Solitary Rectal Ulcer Syndrome (SRUS) in 10 pediatric patients.

Material And Methods: This study is a retrospective study of patients from January 2017 to June 2024. The clinical records were reviewed for details of the clinical presentation, colonoscopic findings, associated local and systemic diseases, and other investigations.

Machine learning-based identification of proteomic markers in colorectal cancer using UK Biobank data.

Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality in the world. Incidence and mortality are predicted to rise globally during the next several decades. When detected early, colorectal cancer is treatable with surgery and medications.

Factors influencing minimum acceptable diet (MAD) intake among children aged 6-23 months in remote mid-Himalayan region of Sudurpaschim, Nepal.

Background: Minimum acceptable diet (MAD) intake is crucial for optimizing the growth and development of children aged 6 to 23 months. However, little is known about the factors influencing MAD intake among children of Sudurpaschim. This study, therefore, aims to assess the prevalence of minimum acceptable diet intake and associated factors among children aged 6-23 months in Sudurpaschim Province of Nepal.

Screening for Alcohol Use Disorder Among Hospitalised Patients: Learning from a Retrospective Cohort Study in Secondary Care.

Excessive alcohol consumption is among the leading causes of hospitalisation in high-income countries and contributes to over 200 medical conditions. We aimed to determine the prevalence and characteristics of alcohol use disorder (AUD), describe the distribution of AUD in ICD-10 discharge diagnosis groups and ascertain any relationship between them in secondary care. The study group was a retrospective cohort of adult patients admitted to Nottingham University Hospital (NUH) between 4 April 2009 and 31 March 2020.

Maleation of Biodegradable Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate--3-hydroxyvalerate) by Reactive Extrusion: Effect of Initiator Concentration and a Chain Extender on Grafting Percentage and Thermal and Rheological Properties.

Recently, there has been immense interest in using biodegradable polymers to replace petro-derived polymers. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate--3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), which is gaining popularity due to its biodegradability, is used in developing blends and composites for a variety of applications. To enhance the miscibility between different components of a material with PHBV, functionalization of the PHBV chain can be done.
