The efficacy of curcumin-piperine supplementation in patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy: An optical coherence tomography angiography-based randomized controlled trial.

Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the complications of diabetes. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of curcumin-piperine on laboratory factors and macular vascular in DR.

Materials And Methods: The present study was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-arm clinical trial that was conducted on 60 patients with DR aged 30-65 years.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy for the characterization of filtrate portions of blood serum samples of myocardial infarction patients using 30 kDa centrifugal filter devices.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. It occurs when a thrombus forms after an atherosclerotic plaque bursts, obstructing blood flow to the heart. Prompt and accurate diagnosis is crucial for improving patient survival.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy for the rapid identification of fosfomycin resistant and sensitive strains of E. coli.

Development of rapid detection and discrimination technique for the antibiotic resistant and sensitive bacterial strains is required for this purpose, Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technique is considered to have great potential. To develop a fast and sensitive detection and discrimination methodology based on SERS technique along with chemometric tools for the differentiation among fosfomycin sensitive and resistant Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains.

Primary Renal Synovial Sarcoma: A Rare Case Presentation.

Synovial sarcoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor, and its occurrence as a primary renal tumor is exceedingly rare. We are presenting a case of renal synovial sarcoma with lung involvement in a 47-year-old female patient who initially presented with typical renal symptoms, including blood in urine and left flank pain. Imaging revealed a large renal mass with extension into the renal vein and metastatic nodules in the lungs.

Entrectinib-Induced Myocarditis and Acute Heart Failure Responding to Steroid Treatment: A Case Report.

A 72-year-old man presented to his general practitioner with worsening dyspnea and was diagnosed with having recurrent -positive stage IIIB NSCLC 8 years after initial diagnosis and radical treatment for early stage disease. He was subsequently started on entrectinib but required hospital admissions for recurrent acute kidney injuries on a background of chronic kidney disease. His entrectinib was withheld on day 20 since his first dose of treatment while he was being investigated.
