The value of administering intravenous antibiotics during haemodialysis in the treatment of diabetic foot infections.

Objective: People with diabetes who are on haemodialysis (HD) are at a high risk of diabetic foot infections (DFI) and related complications. We explored the value of treating DFI with intravenous (IV) antibiotics during HD.

Method: This was an observational study of consecutively treated patients with DFIs with IV antibiotics during HD.

Domain state modulation by interfacial diffusion in FePt/FeCo thin films: experimental approach with micromagnetic modelling.

We report the complex implications of inter-diffusion between polycrystalline FePt/FeCo layers as an impact of the FeCo underlayer on the structural and magnetic properties of the system. The crystalline growth of FePt strongly reduces in an entirely diffused system compared to the one with lesser diffusion, while the crystalline structure of FeCo is apparently less affected. Charge redistribution occurs between Fe, Co and Pt ensuring increased Co-Pt and Fe-Pt interactions with higher diffusion.

Photo generated charge transport studies of defects-induced shuttlecock-shaped ZnO/Ag hybrid nanostructures.

We report the stimulating effects of interfacial charge transfer process between spherical Ag nanoparticles and shuttlecock-shaped ZnO nanostructures observed by UV-visible spectroscopy and x-ray absorption spectroscopy. In specific, ZnO nanorods and shuttlecock-shaped ZnO/Ag nanostructures were developed using a simple chemical colloidal method and characterized for structural variations using XRD. The observed red shift in plasmonic peak and the increase in Urbach energy signify interfacial interactions and increased randomness in the hybrid ZnO/Ag nanostructures.

Sentimental study of CAA by location-based tweets.

As people progressively resort to twitter to express their opinions or to disambiguate their sentiment, it's feasible to analyze the mass opinion to conclude the polarity of the subject at hand using sentiment analysis. Sentiment Analysis (SA) has revolutionized the way information is perceived today. Inspired by this, the work in this paper investigates the much-debated act- the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) by analyzing opinionated geo-tagged tweets, manually annotated and cross verified by six annotators.

Hypofractionated Concomitant Chemoradiation in Inoperable Locally Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: A Report on 100 Patients and a Systematic Review.

Aims: Concomitant chemoradiation is the standard of care in patients with inoperable non-small cell lung cancer. The purpose of this study was to analyse the survival outcome and toxicity data of using hypofractionated chemoradiation.

Materials And Methods: One hundred patients were treated from June 2011 to November 2016.
