"Elucidating the immunomodulatory role of endocannabinoids in intervertebral disc degeneration".

Purpose: The endocannabinoid system (ECS) has been well-established to play a crucial role in the regulation of several physiological processes as well as many inflammatory disease conditions. However, its role in intervertebral disc degeneration has been least explored. We aim to investigate the immunomodulatory role of endocannabinoids in regulating IVD health.

Does the gut microbiome influence disc health and disease? The interplay between dysbiosis, pathobionts, and disc inflammation: a pilot study.

Background Context: Gut microbiome alterations resulting in inflammatory responses have been implicated in many distant effects on different organs. However, its influence on disc health is still not fully investigated.

Purpose: Our objective was to document the gut biome in healthy volunteers and patients with disc degeneration and to understand the role of gut dysbiosis on human disc health.

Acute renal failure and hepatopathy consequent upon ingestion of cooked gallbladder of Indian carp: A case report.

Among freshwater fishes, the Indian Carp (, "ROHU") is one of the most chosen species for Indian diets, but reports of toxicity are rare. This report is of a middle-aged healthy female who developed pain in the abdomen, vomiting, and diarrhea within hours of ingestion of a cooked portion of Indian carp's intestines and gallbladder. There was an inadvertent delay in diagnosis over 1 week due to the rarity of incidence and non-availability of a definite diagnostic indicator coupled with the lack of awareness and high index of suspicion.

Multifocal atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumour in an infant-a rare case report.

Background: Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumours (AT/RT) are uncommon but aggressive, malignant tumours in the paediatric age group. Presentation of concomitant supratentorial and infratentorial lesions in an infant is extremely rare. We discuss an infant diagnosed with such lesions.

Preferences and experiences of parents/guardians of youth with epilepsy and intellectual disability on reproductive health counseling.

Objective: To explore the experiences and preferences of parents/guardians of adolescents and young adults (AYA) of childbearing potential with co-occurring epilepsy and intellectual disability (ID) regarding counseling by neurologists on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) topics such as pregnancy, contraception, menstruation, and folic acid supplementation.

Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with parents/guardians of AYAs (12-28 years old) of childbearing potential with co-occurring epilepsy and ID, recruited from a tertiary-care children's hospital. We confirmed the diagnoses of epilepsy and ID with the patient's neurologist and parent/guardian.
