Laser-based imaging approach for nocturnal vessel detection in rivers.

In the twenty-first century, maritime routes are crucial for geographical and financial reasons in riverine countries. Compared to the available technology abroad, Bangladesh has insufficient monitoring of water vessels to tackle any possible disaster, such as vessel collisions for inland water transportation. One of the frequent outcomes of this architecture is regular capsizing, which sometimes leads to loss of lives.

Reduced Intra- and Extracellular Circulating Postprandial Lysosomal Acid Lipase Activity in Patients with MASLD.

Background/objectives: Low fasting blood lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) activity is associated with the pathogenesis of metabolic hepatic steatosis. We measured LAL activity in blood and plasma before and after an oral fat tolerance test (OFTT) in patients with metabolic-dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

Methods: Twenty-six controls and seventeen patients with MASLD but without diabetes were genotyped for the patatin-like phospholipase 3 (PNPLA3) rs738409 variant by RT-PCR and subjected to an OFTT, measuring LAL activity in blood and plasma with a fluorimetric method.

Femoral or Radial Secondary Access in TAVR: A Subanalysis From the Multicenter PULSE Registry.

Background: Transradial secondary access (TR-SA) may serve as an alternative to the traditional femoral secondary access (TF-SA) for pigtail placement in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of secondary access-related vascular complications after TR-SA or TF-SA in TAVR.

Methods: The PULSE (Plug or sUture based vascuLar cloSurE after TAVR) registry retrospectively evaluated data of 10,120 patients who underwent transfemoral TAVR at 10 heart centers from 2016 to 2021.

Operative Repair of Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Injury Versus Knee Bracing in Acute First-Time Traumatic Patellar Dislocation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Acute first-time traumatic patellar dislocation is a prevalent knee injury, particularly in adolescents, often managed conservatively with knee bracing. Recently, medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction has gained popularity for its potential benefits in reducing redislocation rates and enhancing functional outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis compared the outcomes of MPFL reconstruction versus knee bracing for managing acute first-time traumatic patellar dislocation.

Systematic review of long-acting injectable antipsychotic medications approved from 2008 to october 2024 and agents in phase 3.

Objective: The purpose of this systematic review is to provide a detailed summary of the long-acting injectable antipsychotic medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) between 2008 to October 2024. We aim to provide an overview of the mechanism of action, indications for both labeled and off-label uses, evidence for efficacy, dosing, and the adverse effects of each drug.

Methods: Studies published from 2008 to October 1, 2024, were identified from the PubMed database, using the keywords: 'long-acting injectables' OR 'LAI*'AND 'psychopharm*" OR 'schizophrenia' The authors conducted a focused analysis independently and reached a consensus on the recently approved long-acting injectable antipsychotic medications to be included in this systematic review.
