A case of assisted reproductive technology-induced maternal alloimmunization: an emerging sensitizing factor to consider?

Red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunization can occur because of exposure to various sensitizing factors and poses a constant threat in transfusion. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) involves manipulation of sperm, ova, or embryos with the goal of producing a pregnancy. We present an interesting case of ART-induced maternal alloimmunization (AIMA) due to anti-c in a woman carrying a twin pregnancy.

A Trailblazer in Anatomy: Madhusudan Gupta and the Historic First Dissection.

The life and accomplishments of Madhusudan Gupta, a significant person in Indian medical history, are discussed in this review article. Born into an aristocratic Bengali family, Gupta initially showed little interest in formal education. However, his enrolment in Sanskrit College and subsequent involvement with Calcutta Medical College (CMC) marked a turning point in his life.

Unveiling Morphological Diversity: An Anatomical Investigation of the Foramen Transversarium in the Cervical Vertebrae.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the morphological variations in the foramen transversarium of the cervical vertebrae and their clinical implications. Understanding these variations is crucial for accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and surgical procedures involving the cervical spine.

Materials And Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the AIl India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bibinagar, India, and involved 150 dry cervical vertebrae specimens.

C-reactive Protein Kinetics During In-Patient Treatment of COVID-19-Associated Rhino-Orbito-Cerebral Mucormycosis: A Retrospective Cohort Study in a Tertiary Hospital in Central India.

COVID-associated rhino-orbito-cerebral Mucormycosis (CA-ROCM), henceforth referred to as Covid-Associated Mucormycosis (CAM), is a serious and fatal condition unless treated promptly and completely. The main treatment of the CAM is complete surgical debridement and administration of systemic antifungals. The first line antifungal recommended for CAM is Amphotericin-B.

Automatic Identification and Severity Classification of Retinal Biomarkers in SD-OCT Using Dilated Depthwise Separable Convolution ResNet with SVM Classifier.

Purpose: Diagnosis of Uveitic Macular Edema (UME) using Spectral Domain OCT (SD-OCT) is a promising method for early detection and monitoring of sight-threatening visual impairment. Viewing multiple B-scans and identifying biomarkers is challenging and time-consuming for clinical practitioners. To overcome these challenges, this paper proposes an image classification hybrid framework for predicting the presence of biomarkers such as intraretinal cysts (IRC), hyperreflective foci (HRF), hard exudates (HE) and neurosensory detachment (NSD) in OCT B-scans along with their severity.
