Lessons learned from setting up a hospital-based national registry for venous thromboembolic disorders in India.

Introduction: Health registries are instrumental in tracking trends in the number of people with diseases, monitoring treatment options, and assessing health outcomes. This research examines the challenges of establishing and maintaining a venous thromboembolism (VTE) registry in the Indian context.

Methods: A mixed-method approach with purposive sampling was conducted to capture the challenges faced by individuals playing key roles in the establishment and operation of the national registry on VTE.

State-of-the-art Investigation on the Role of Indium, Terbium, Yttrium, and Lanthanum in Recurrent Pregnancy Loss.

We aimed to explore the role of Indium (In), Terbium (Tb), Yttrium (Y), and Lanthanum (La) in the serum of women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and compare them to controls. Additionally, the study aimed to examine the relationship between REE levels and oxidative DNA damage, to identify potential risk factors contributing to RPL. This case-control study included 30 RPL cases and 30 controls with uncomplicated pregnancy.

Deciphering the link: A cutting-edge exploration of the intriguing connection between recurrent pregnancy loss and rare earth elements-Lutetium, praseodymium, samarium, dysprosium, and cerium.

Objective: To evaluate the levels of serum rare earth elements (REEs): lutetium [Lu], praseodymium [Pr], samarium [Sm], dysprosium [Dy], and cerium [Ce] in pregnant women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and evaluate their relationship with total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), a marker of DNA damage.

Methods: A case-controlled study was conducted on a cohort of 60 female participants, with first-trimester healthy pregnant women as the control group and pregnant women with a history of consecutive abortions as the recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) group. Following blood collection, serum concentrations of Lu, Pr, Sm, Dy, and Ce were measured using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrophotometer (ICP-MS).

Diverse Role of Buffer Mediums and Protein Concentrations to Mediate the Multimodal Interaction of Phenylalanine-Functionalized Gold Nanoparticle and Lysozyme Protein at Same Nominal pH.

Recently, buffer molecules have been known to affect intermolecular protein-protein interactions at physiological pH. However, the roles of buffer molecules and different monolayer protein concentrations remain elusive in controlling the interaction of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) with protein molecules. Herein, for the first time taking phenylalanine functionalized gold nanoparticles (Au-Phe NPs) and lysozyme (Lyz) protein as model systems, we report that buffer molecules of different charges (at a particular pH) play diverse roles in protein-Au NPs interaction, particularly in protein induced Au NPs aggregation.
