Drug-related problems in older adults in outpatient settings: Results from a 6-year long prospective study in a tertiary hospital of north India.

Aim: Drug-related problems (DRPs) are a common cause of hospitalization in older patients. So far, these issues have been studied in hospitalized settings, and evidence on patterns and outcomes of DRPs, such as adverse drug reactions, is relatively scarce in older outpatients. The main aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive description and possible solutions for DRPs in older adults in outpatient settings.

2D Materials-Based Aptamer Biosensors: Present Status and Way Forward.

Current advances in constructing functional nanomaterials and elegantly designed nanostructures have opened up new possibilities for the fabrication of viable field biosensors. Two-dimensional materials (2DMs) have fascinated much attention due to their chemical, optical, physicochemical, and electronic properties. They are ultrathin nanomaterials with unique properties such as high surface-to-volume ratio, surface charge, shape, high anisotropy, and adjustable chemical functionality.

Electronic Floquet gyro-liquid crystal.

Floquet engineering uses coherent time-periodic drives to realize designer band structures on-demand, thus yielding a versatile approach for inducing a wide range of exotic quantum many-body phenomena. Here we show how this approach can be used to induce non-equilibrium correlated states with spontaneously broken symmetry in lightly doped semiconductors. In the presence of a resonant driving field, the system spontaneously develops quantum liquid crystalline order featuring strong anisotropy whose directionality rotates as a function of time.

Levels of Aminotransferases Among Schoolchildren in Jaipur, Rajasthan.

We did cross-sectional study for normal values of amino-transferases in school children aged 2- 18 years. Median (IQR) AST and ALT values in study subjects were 30 (27- 34) U/L and 23 (19-29) U/L. We also provided age-and sex-related percentiles of aminotransferases of children.

Comparative study of tinidazole versus metronidazole in treatment of amebic liver abscess: A randomized control trial.

Background: Metronidazole is a drug of choice for amebic liver abscess (ALA), but has long course and significant side effects. Thus, drugs like tinidazole with a better tolerability record need evaluation.

Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled trial at the Department of Gastroenterology, SMS Hospital, Jaipur, India.

A prospective study to evaluate the role of duodenal bulb biopsy in the diagnosis of celiac disease.

Background: Celiac disease (CeD) requires a biopsy from the small intestine to confirm the diagnosis. Conventionally, duodenal bulb (D1) was avoided as a biopsy site due to histological confounding factors at this site. However, sometimes, the bulb mucosa is the only affected site.
