Completion Rate of Paper-Based and Electronic Patient Reported Outcome Measures in a Multidisciplinary Cancer Survivorship Clinical Setting.

Objective: Integrating Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) into clinical practice is increasing, with research showing benefits in patient outcomes. However, evidence regarding patient's acceptance of PROMs is limited. Sydney Cancer Survivorship Centre (SCSC) clinic is a multidisciplinary clinic where clinicians use PROMs to guide patient consultation.

Short-Term Outcome of Patients in Delirium at Medical Intensive Care Unit.

Background: Delirium is highly prevalent in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and managing it in critically ill patients with severe comorbidities is challenging due to transient nature of symptoms. However its significance is underestimated, often overlooked and misdiagnosed by healthcare providers. In Nepal, limited studies has been done on delirium in medical ICUs hence this study aims to assess short-term outcome of admitted patients in delirium.

"Behavioural and metabolic risk factors of cardiovascular diseases among post-menopausal women: A cross-sectional study in Itahari sub-metropolitan city of Nepal".

Background And Objectives: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are main cause of mortality and morbidity among women globally. Menopause, aging and different factors in collaboration leads to increased risk for CVDs among postmenopausal women but study on risk factors of CVDs among postmenopausal women is limited in Nepal. Therefore, we aimed to assess prevalence of behavioural and metabolic risk factors of cardiovascular disease among post-menopausal women.

Understanding and Treating Laryngeal Mask Airway-Induced Intraoperative Hiccups.

The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) has gained popularity as an airway management device in the perioperative setting due to its ease of use, reduced invasiveness compared to endotracheal intubation, and lower incidence of complications. However, hiccups, though relatively uncommon, can pose a significant challenge during the perioperative period when an LMA is in place. Abrupt movement because of hiccups can lead to delay in surgery as well as interfere with surgical instrumentation.

Exponentially tighter bounds on limitations of quantum error mitigation.

Quantum error mitigation has been proposed as a means to combat unwanted and unavoidable errors in near-term quantum computing without the heavy resource overheads required by fault-tolerant schemes. Recently, error mitigation has been successfully applied to reduce noise in near-term applications. In this work, however, we identify strong limitations to the degree to which quantum noise can be effectively 'undone' for larger system sizes.

The hidden epidemic: Hypertension-related mortality surges amongst younger adults in the United States.

Background: The prevalence of hypertension (HTN) has significantly increased among younger adults (15-45 yrs) in the U.S. Despite this, there is limited data on trends of HTN-related mortality within this population.

Molecular identification of predation on the Dubas bug (Hemiptera: Tropiduchidae) in Oman date palms: density-dependent response to prey.

The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) (Arecales: Arecaceae) is the most economically important crop in Oman with an annual production of >360,000 tons of fruit. The Dubas bug (Ommatissus lybicus de Bergevin) (Hemiptera: Tropiduchidae) is one of the major pests of date palms, causing up to a 50% reduction in fruit production.

Delineating the soil physicochemical and microbiological factors conferring disease suppression in organic farms.

Organic farming utilizes farmyard manure, compost, and organic wastes as sources of nutrients and organic matter. Soil under organic farming exhibits increased microbial diversity, and thus, becomes naturally suppressive to the development of soil-borne pathogens due to the latter's competition with resident microbial communities. Such soils that exhibit resistance to soil-borne phytopathogens are called disease-suppressive soils.

Study on the changes during the fermentation of the wine prepared from palm () sap.

The sugary sap of different palm trees is fermented to create palm wine, an alcoholic beverage. This work was aimed at studying the changes that occur during the fermentation process of wine made from the sap of the wild date palm species . At first, the best age of the palm tree was determined by observing total soluble solid and sap yield for 24 h and was found to be middle-aged palm plants (15-40 years old).

A study of the relative orientation of the extraocular rectus muscles: an advanced cadaveric approach.

The anatomy of the extraocular rectus muscle insertions is clinically relevant in the field of ophthalmology. This descriptive cadaveric study determines the relative degree orientation of the superior, lateral, and inferior rectus muscles with respect to the medial rectus and investigates the distances between the rectus muscle insertions. Thirty cadavers (50% female, mean age = 81.

Structural characterization of DNA-binding domain of essential mammalian protein TTF 1.

Transcription Termination Factor 1 (TTF1) is a multifunctional mammalian protein with vital roles in various cellular processes, including Pol I-mediated transcription initiation and termination, pre-rRNA processing, chromatin remodelling, DNA damage repair, and polar replication fork arrest. It comprises two distinct functional regions; the N-terminal regulatory region (1-445 aa), and the C-terminal catalytic region (445-859 aa). The Myb domain located at the C-terminal region is a conserved DNA binding domain spanning from 550 to 732 aa (183 residues).

Group B Streptococcus Primary Pyogenic Ventriculitis in an Adult.

Pyogenic ventriculitis is a disorder characterized by inflammation of the cerebral ventricular lining secondary to infection within the ventricular system. Very few cases of primary pyogenic ventriculitis have been reported among adults. We present a case report of a 74-year-old female with a history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus who presented with Group B Streptococcus (GBS) primary pyogenic ventriculitis.

Estimation of prakriti (body constitution) in women of Eastern Maharashtra tribal belt of central India featuring early and premature menopause.

Introduction: (body constitution) is the essential fundamental of Ayurveda. In female physiology, it plays a crucial role in determining the age of menarche and menopause. Recent research has shown that early menopause occurs in tribal women.

Novel psychoplastogen DM506 reduces cue-induced heroin-seeking and inhibits tonic GABA currents in the Prelimbic Cortex.

Opioid use disorder is a major public health crisis that is manifested by persistent drug-seeking behavior and high relapse frequency. Most of the available treatments rely on targeting opioid receptors using small molecules that do not provide sustained symptom alleviation. Psychoplastogens are a novel class of non-opioid drugs that produce rapid and sustained effects on neuronal plasticity, intended to produce therapeutic benefits.

Investigation of Markedly Elevated Liver Enzymes With Serendipitous Underlying Wilson's Disease With Chronic Alcohol Abuse.

Acute hepatitis can result from a wide variety of noninfectious causes that include, but are not limited to, drugs (drug-induced hepatitis), alcohol (alcoholic hepatitis), immunologic (autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cholangitis), or as a result of indirect insult secondary to biliary tract dysfunction (cholestatic hepatitis), pregnancy-related liver dysfunction, shock, or metastatic disease. In clinical settings, these causes are not uncommon to overlap with each other or are masked by obviously visible causes in medical history. We reported our scenario of a patient who has a heavy history of alcohol use and presented with alcohol withdrawal symptoms and a marked elevation of liver enzymes.

Effective management of sedentary behavior among Indian university students: An empirical exploration into health-related behavior.

Background: The past few years have witnessed a notable rise in sedentary tendencies, unveiling a modern era of prolonged stillness and diminished physical engagement. This study sought to assess the feasibility of a digital health intervention (DHI) to reduce overall sedentary behavior among university students. The study also identifies distinct subgroups within Indian universities that exhibit a heightened propensity for engaging in unhealthy behaviors.
