Introduction In cervical cancer treatment, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and albumin-globulin ratio (AGR) are being studied as potential prognostic markers for predicting the effectiveness of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). This study aims to investigate the relationship between these biomarkers and survival outcomes in cervical cancer patients undergoing CCRT. Materials and methods This retrospective study was conducted at Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences between January 2016 and December 2019.

- ACL ruptures are common sports injuries with poor healing due to low blood supply, often leading to post-surgery osteoarthritis 10-15 years later.
- Recent research suggests that the tibial remnants of the ACL have the potential to heal and that their vascular characteristics are important for new surgical methods that preserve these remnants.
- This study evaluated the blood vessel density and characteristics in ruptured ACL remnants of 24 patients but found no significant correlation between injury duration and blood vessel density across different groups.
The dataset represent the results of a cross-sectional study conducted in Telangana, India, to investigate the effects of pesticide exposure in agricultural regions. This study includes 341 pesticides exposed participants and 152 controls in three districts of Telangana including 15 farming villages. Blood and urine samples were analysed to determine various pesticide concentrations present in blood including organophosphates, carbamates and pyrethroids group of pesticides, and six dialkyl phosphate (DAP) metabolites, including dimethyl phosphate (DMP), diethyl phosphate (DEP), dimethyl thiophosphate (DMTP), dimethyldithiophosphate (DMDTP), diethylthiophosphate (DETP) and diethyldithiophosphate (DEDTP) were analysed in urine samples.

Since individuals with unilateral plantar heel pain (PHP) tend to develop compensatory loading strategies, this study aimed to observe the foot loading pattern compared to the asymptomatic side and its relationship with the morphological variations in individuals with unilateral PHP.
Methods: It was a prospective cross-sectional study done on 17 participants with unilateral PHP.
Background: An increasing incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is being reported in developing countries, including India. Most Indian studies on CRC are retrospective and single-centered. The present study is an attempt to understand the current clinical profile and stage of newly diagnosed CRCs across multiple centers in Tamil Nadu, India.
