Our objective was to study the proportion of children developing Catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) following central venous Catheter (CVC) insertion and the risk factors of CRT in pediatric patients with CVC. One hundred four children aged 29 days to 18 years who had a percutaneous non-tunneled CVC inserted were enrolled. Ultrasonogram (USG) with venous Doppler scan was performed within 48 hours of CVC removal to diagnose CRT.

- The study targets mosquito vectors and bacterial pathogens using cell-free supernatants from 11 gut bacteria, with SS11 showing the most promise.
- The diethyl ether extract (DEE) from SS11 demonstrated significant mosquito larvicidal effects, with specific LC50 values for different larval stages.
- The analysis identified multiple bioactive compounds in the DEE, suggesting their potential for environmentally friendly mosquito control strategies.
Objectives: Surgery planning for liver tumour is carried out using contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) images to determine the optimal resection strategy and to assess the volume of liver and tumour. Current surgery planning tools interpret even the functioning liver cells present within the tumour boundary as tumour. Plain CT images provide inadequate information for treatment planning.

This study aimed to analyze intermodality variation for gross tumor volume (GTV) delineation in locally advanced oropharyngeal carcinomas (LAOCs).
Methods And Materials: We examined the pretreatment contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and fluoro-deoxy-glucose-based positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) image data sets of 33 adult patients with primary LAOC.
