Objective: This study evaluated the incidence, causes, and predictors of intraoperative conversion from off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) to on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (ONCAB), identifying risk factors to improve surgical planning.

Methods: This retrospective case-control study included patients who underwent OPCAB at the Peshawar Institute of Cardiology, Peshawar, Pakistan, between December 8, 2021, and December 7, 2023. Among 714 patients, 27 (3.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of receiving the inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) and SARS-CoV-2 vaccine at the same time compared to getting them separately among healthcare workers.
  • Results showed that those who received both vaccines together had a lower rise in SARS-CoV-2 antibodies 1 month after vaccination, although this difference was not significant after 6 months.
  • Overall, the concomitant vaccination did not seem to significantly affect the long-term immune response, suggesting that more research is needed to clarify these findings.

Unlabelled: The group includes closely related spore-forming Gram-positive bacteria. In this group, plasmids play a crucial role in species differentiation and are essential for pathogenesis and adaptation to ecological niches. The emetic strains are characterized by the presence of the pCER270 megaplasmid, which encodes the non-ribosomal peptide synthetase for the production of cereulide, the emetic toxin.

The planar cell polarity (PCP) system is essential for positioning cells in 3D networks to establish the proper morphogenesis, structure, and function of organs during embryonic development. The PCP system uses inter- and intracellular feedback interactions between components of the core PCP, characterized by coordinated planar polarization and asymmetric distribution of cell populations inside the cells. PCP signaling connects the anterior-posterior to left-right embryonic plane polarity through the polarization of cilia in the Kupffer's vesicle/node in vertebrates.

In the present work, an efficient isocratic HPLC method was developed for the precise and accurate estimation of vitamin D in tablet form. The chromatographic conditions comprised an L3 silica column (5 µm in particle size, 4.6 mm × 250 mm) with a mobile phase n-hexane/ethyl acetate (85:15 /) with a flow rate of 2.
