A Retrospective Observational Study to Compare the Clinical and Laboratory Parameters of Patients Requiring Hospitalization during 3rd Wave vs 2nd Wave of Coronavirus Disease 2019.

Following the outbreak of coronavirus in Wuhan, China in 2019, there has been multiple waves of different variants of COVID-19 throughout the world in the continuum of a pandemic. This study aims to compare different clinical and laboratory parameters of hospitalized patients in Omicron-driven 3rd wave vs Delta-driven 2nd wave in India. This was a retrospective cross-sectional observational study that was done in the Department of General Medicine, Mahatma Gandhi Hospital, Dr S N Medical College, Jodhpur (Rajasthan).

FPGA-based measurements of the relative arrival time of a high-repetition rate, quasi-cw fourth generation light source.

In this paper, we demonstrate the successful implementation of reconfigurable field-programmable gate array technology into a pulse-resolved data acquisition system to achieve a femtosecond temporal resolution in ultrafast pump-probe experiments in real-time at large scale facilities. As proof of concept, electro-optic sampling of terahertz waveforms radiated by a superradiant emitter of a quasi-cw accelerator operating at a 50 kHz repetition rate and probed by an external laser system is performed. Options for up-scaling the developed technique to a MHz range of repetition rates are discussed.

Allergic potential & molecular mechanism of skin sensitization of cinnamaldehyde under environmental UVB exposure.

Fragrance, a key ingredient in cosmetics, often triggers skin allergy causes rashes, itching, dryness, and cracked or scaly skin. Cinnamaldehyde (CA), derived from the bark of the cinnamon tree, used as a fragrance and is a moderate skin sensitizer. CA exhibits strong UVB absorption, its allergic potential and the molecular mechanisms underlying skin sensitization under UVB exposure remain largely unexplored.

Adherence to antiretroviral therapy and its association with quality of life among people with HIV in the United States.

Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is critical for people with HIV (PWH) to achieve and maintain virologic suppression and minimize drug resistance. This study aimed to use real-world data to characterize ART adherence and its effect on quality of life (QoL) in PWH. Data were drawn from the Adelphi HIV Disease Specific Programme™, a cross-sectional survey of physicians and PWH in the United States, conducted June-October 2021.
