Background: Rotavirus diarrhoea is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in children under five years of age. The WHO has recommended vaccination against this agent especially in countries with high mortality rates. As India accounts for almost a quarter of worldwide rotaviral diarrhoea cases, the government has introduced indigenously manufactured vaccines in the national immunization schedule which has been implemented in four phases.

Background: Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease, are complex and challenging due to their intricate pathophysiology and limited treatment options.

Methods: This review systematically sourced articles related to neurodegenerative diseases, neurodegeneration, quercetin, and clinical studies from primary medical databases, including Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science.

Results: Recent studies have included quercetin to impact the cellular and molecular pathways involved in neurodegeneration.

Background: The indications for pediatric airway endoscopy are expanding and a variety of therapeutic interventions are feasible for central airway obstruction (CAO) and other central airway pathologies, apart from foreign body removal.

Methods: In this retrospective chart review from four centers, we describe the indications, procedures, outcomes, and complications of therapeutic bronchoscopic interventions in children for non foreign-body removal indications.

Results: A total of 72 children (mean age:140 [60.

Article Synopsis
  • YPO nanophosphors were synthesized with various concentrations of terbium (Tb) using a co-precipitation method, resulting in highly crystalline nanoparticles with an average size of around 40 nm, confirmed by PXRD and TEM.
  • The emission spectra of the nanoparticles showed peaks at wavelengths of 491, 545, 588, and 624 nm under UV light, indicating they could be used for applications in white light emitting diodes and optical displays.
  • A thermoluminescence study was performed on the 5at.wt% Tb doped YPO samples post gamma radiation exposure, with kinetic parameters being calculated using a deconvolution method.
