The complex web of obesity: from genetics to precision medicine.

Introduction: Obesity is a growing public health concern affecting both children and adults. Since it involves both genetic and environmental components, the management of obesity requires both, an understanding of the underlying genetics and changes in lifestyle. The knowledge of obesity genetics will enable the possibility of precision medicine in anti-obesity medications.

Postgraduate teaching-learning pattern for radiation oncology students in India - A survey-based analysis.

Context: Teaching and training in Radiation Oncology is only at postgraduate level with 8-10 hours of theory sessions during undergraduate course. Uniform training during the post-graduation course across the country is a major challenge as many new concepts are introduced.

Aim: This study is an effort to look into various aspects of training in terms of teaching-learning and assessment.

Safety and efficacy of Oro-T oral rinse in oral mucositis during cancer radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy: Cumulative analysis of two studies.

Introduction: Oral mucositis is inflammation of the mucosa of the mouth which ranges from redness to severe ulceration. It results from the local effects of radiation to the oral mucosa.

Objectives: The study is cumulative analysis of two studies (one comparative and the other open labeled) evaluated in individuals with oral mucositis during cancer radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy for the safety and efficacy of Oro-T mouthwash in a comparative design with normal saline.

Bending of pinned dust-ion acoustic solitary waves in presence of charged space debris.

We consider a low temperature plasma environment in the low Earth orbital region in the presence of charged space debris particles. The dynamics of (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear dust-ion acoustic waves with weak transverse perturbation, generated in the system, is found to be governed by a forced Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation, where the forcing term depends on charged space debris function. The bending phenomena of some exact dust-ion acoustic solitary wave solutions in the x-t and x-y planes are shown; they result from the consideration of different types of possible localized debris functions.
