Aim Traditional Ayurvedic herbo-mineral medicines have proven their potential in managing COVID-19. Cell-based assays of the Svarnvir-IV tablet demonstrated the virucidal activity against SARS-CoV-2 and its therapeutic action, along with safety in cytotoxicity, has been proved. In the present study, in vivo, safety profile and compositional analysis of the Svarnvir-IV tablet were performed.

The effect of diaphysis locations and directions of loading on elastic-plastic compressive properties of bovine femoral cortical bone was examined in this study. The impact of location and loading directions on elastic-plastic compressive properties of cortical bone was found to be statistically insignificant in this study.

The United Kingdom (UK) surgical curriculum lacks summative assessment for laparoscopic skills. This study explores surgical trainees' perceptions of using simulated laparoscopic assessment as a summative tool in the UK.

The primary aim of this study was to determine the (mis)categorization rate of the 2012 thresholds using the updated review as a validation dataset. Secondary aims were evaluation of 6-month migration, mean continuous (1- to 2-year) migration, and fixation-specific thresholds for tibial component migration.

In 2024, Genomics England began to recruit for the Generation Study (GS), which uses whole genome sequencing (WGS) to detect genetic changes in 500 genes in more than 200 rare conditions. Ultimately, its purpose is to facilitate the earlier identification of rare conditions and thereby improve health-related outcomes for individuals.
