Direct Printing of an Electrochemical Device and Its Interface with Paper for Uric Acid Detection in Human Sweat.

Using a laser-scribed (direct printing) technique, we have fabricated an enzymeless, mediatorless, and paper-interfaced electrochemical device (P-LSG) for uric acid detection on a flexible polyimide sheet. Various paper substrates were investigated, and it was found that Whatman filter paper-1 is promising to obtain the best electrochemical signals at the small volume of electrolyte, i.e.

Gender bias in acute myocardial infarction care in India: Nationwide retrospective study of 41832 patients.

Background: Various studies have documented gender differences in the management and outcomes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in developed countries. Gender differences in the management of AMI in India is not known.

Objectives: To document the gender differences in the management and outcomes of AMI in India.

Patch Test-Positive Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms Syndrome Due to Cycloserine in Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis: A Case Report with a Review of the Literature.

Antitubercular treatment (ATT) is associated with multiple cutaneous adverse drug reactions. Second-line ATT is also associated with numerous adverse reactions; however, cutaneous reactions are under-reported. Oral drug provocation (ODP) in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is challenging because of the paucity of time and the risk of developing secondary drug resistance in the case of interrupted medication.

Comparative Analysis of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Manual Small-Incision Cataract Surgery Versus Phacoemulsification for Brown Cataracts.

Objective The objective of this study is to compare patient-reported outcome measures using the Catquest Questionnaire in patients undergoing phacoemulsification (Phaco) versus manual small-incision cataract surgery (MSICS). Materials and methods This descriptive cross-sectional study included patients aged 40 years and older with cataracts classified as nuclear sclerosis (NS) grade 3 or higher. Demographic details were recorded and a comprehensive ophthalmological exam was done.

Novel Variants of IGF2 Gene Are Linked With Neural Tube Defects-An In Silico to Clinical Approach in West Bengal, India.

Background: Neural tube defects (NTDs) are defined as an incomplete closure of the neural tube (NT), with a prevalence of 1.2 per 1000 live births around the world. Methylation of the maternally imprinted gene Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) is one of the epigenetic mechanisms that contribute significantly to the development of NTDs.
