3D printing chronicles in medical devices and pharmaceuticals: tracing the evolution and historical milestones.

The objective of this study is to collect the significant advancements of 3D printed medical devices in the biomedical area in recent years. Especially related to a range of diseases and the polymers employed in drug administration. To address the existing limitations and constraints associated with the method used for producing 3D printed medical devices, in order to optimize their suitability for degradation.

Micro-vascular complications of post-transplant diabetes mellitus in renal transplant recipients- an observational study.

Introduction: The incidence of post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) ranges from 2.5% to 20% in kidney transplant recipients. Diabetic retinopathy (DR), diabetic kidney disease (DKD), and distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSPN) are the microvascular complications frequently seen in both type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).

Analysis of Potential Biomarkers in Frontal Temporal Dementia: A Bioinformatics Approach.

Frontal temporal dementia (FTD) is a neurological disorder known to have fewer therapeutic options. So far, only a few biomarkers are available for FTD that can be used as potential comorbidity targets. For example, genes such as , which has a role in breast cancer, and , which has a role in COVID-19, are known to show a role in FTD as well.

Leading past COVID-19: An analysis of remote work now and beyond.

In response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, many cancer centers and clinics deployed remote work options for their employees. Due to the rapid response needed during this crisis, little to no feedback was obtained from dosimetrists. This study aimed to assess the productivity level and job satisfaction of medical dosimetrists in response to changes in working conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lack of efficacy of pre bronchoscopy inhaled salbutamol on symptoms and lung functions in patients with pre-existing airway obstruction.

Background: Fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) may exaggerate symptoms and lung functions in patients with pre-existing airway obstruction. Interventions which can alleviate or minimize this procedure-related bronchospasm, especially in this high-risk group are, therefore, required.

Methods: A double-blinded randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of 400 μg of inhaled salbutamol on patients with spirometric evidence of airflow obstruction planned for FOB.

What is the effect of riskshaw noise on its driver?

Objective: Occupational hearing loss is common in the industrialized world. Road noise is a major contributor to perceived environmental noise. The objective of this study was to assess hearing loss in rickshaw drivers due to rickshaw noise.

Q wave and non-Q wave myocardial infarction: a multivariate analysis of survival experience and clinical outcome after first diagnosis at a tertiary care hospital.

Introduction: Myocardial infarction (MI) is a well-recognized clinical entity with a worldwide distribution. In the United States alone, 1.5 million cases of MI occur per year.

Aspiration pneumonia in pediatric age group: etiology, predisposing factors and clinical outcome.

Introduction: Aspiration pneumonia in children is an important disease in terms of the morbidity and mortality associated with it. The objective of this study is to characterize the cases of aspiration pneumonia on the basis of the predisposing factors, types of aspiration syndromes, materials aspirated and their clinical outcome.

Methods: A total of 107 patients diagnosed as having aspiration pneumonia, were included in this study.

Effect of prepregnancy body mass index and gestational weight gain on birth weight.

Objective: Nutritional status of women has been considered an important prognostic indicator of birth outcome. The study aims to show the effect of various prepregnancy Body Mass Index (BMI) categories and corresponding gestational weight gain on newborn birth weight.

Methods: Two hundred women were included in the study.
