Routine Fundoscopy: Unravelling Undiagnosed Significant Coarctation of the Aorta.

A 10-year-old boy was brought to the outpatient department with complaints of diminished vision for two years. On examination, the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in oculus dexter (OD) was 20/40 and in oculus sinister (OS) was 20/80. The patient was dilated for routine fundoscopy, which revealed grade IV hypertensive retinopathy changes in both eyes, with a macular fan in the left eye.

Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Nonagenarians: A Dilemma in Treatment Approach.

Stroke is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity, particularly among the elderly population. As the general population ages, cerebrovascular disease is anticipated to increase in prevalence. Strokes can manifest as either hemorrhagic or ischemic events.

Poultry litter extract as solid waste supplement for enhanced microalgal biomass production and wastewater treatment.

Wastewater and livestock waste can be used as a cheap source of nutrients for microalgae growth. In this work, a cocktail waste medium (CWM) was developed using 75% Chhalera municipal wastewater (C-MWW), 25% Parag dairy wastewater (P-DWW), and 15 g L of poultry litter extract (PLE-15) for low-cost cultivation of Chlorella sp. BRE4.

Congestive myelopathy secondary to epidural venous engorgement and venous congestion in a patient with Budd-Chiari syndrome and its management through inferior vena cava stenting.

Budd-Chiari syndrome with obstruction in the inferior vena cava causes increased venous pressure in the azygous-hemiazygous system and paravertebral venous plexus, which is transmitted to the epidural venous plexus, devoid of the valves. It causes epidural venous plexus engorgement and venous congestion and may present rarely with low back pain or radiating pain. However, patients developing lower limb weakness as a complication of Budd-Chiari syndrome is an infrequent and severe presentation.
