The Outcomes of IgA Nephropathy With Nephrotic Syndrome: A Clinicopathological Study From Northern India.

Introduction Nephrotic syndrome, an unusual clinical presentation of IgA nephropathy (IgAN), occurs only in a few cases. The data regarding its clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes are lacking. Material and methods In this retrospective analysis, we reviewed kidney biopsies conducted between January 2007 and December 2018.

Assessment of the Operational Aspects of Health and Wellness Centers in Randomly Selected Blocks of Eastern India.

Introduction Launched in 2018, by the Government of India, the Health and Wellness Centers (HWCs) initiative under the Ayushman Bharat program aims to transform India's primary healthcare system. This study evaluates the functioning of Health and Wellness Centres (HWCs) in random blocks of Patna, Bihar, focusing on service availability, infrastructure, manpower challenges, and overall effectiveness in meeting healthcare needs. Methodology The assessment aimed to understand the current state of functioning of 16 HWCs and identify areas for improvement through a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) analysis.

Experimental adaptation to singular pathogen challenge reduces susceptibility to novel pathogens in .

Hosts often encounter and must respond to novel pathogens in the wild, that is pathogens that they have not encountered in recent evolutionary history, and therefore are not adapted to. How hosts respond to these novel pathogens and the outcome of such infections can be shaped by the host's evolutionary history, especially by how well adapted the host is to its native pathogens, that is pathogens they have evolved with. Host adaptation to one pathogen can either increase its susceptibility to a novel pathogen, due to specialization of immune defenses and trade-offs between different arms of the immune system, or can decrease susceptibility to novel pathogens by virtue of cross-resistance.

Bio-inspired preparation of Ag NPs, rGO, and Ag/rGO nanocomposites for acoustical, antioxidant, and plant growth regulatory studies.

Acoustical properties are essential for understanding the molecular interactions in fluids, as they influence the physicochemical behavior of liquids and determine their suitability for diverse applications. This study investigated the acoustical parameters of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and Ag/rGO nanocomposite nanofluids at varying concentrations. Ag NPs and Ag/rGO nanocomposites were synthesized via a Bos taurus indicus (BTI) metabolic waste-assisted method and characterized using advanced techniques, including XRD, TEM, Raman, DLS, zeta potential, and XPS.

A Case of Life-Threatening Contralateral Tension Pneumothorax during Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery in a Patient with Retrosternal Goiter.

We report a case of a 74-year-old female with a retrosternal goiter undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for a left lung lower lobectomy, necessitating one-lung ventilation (OLV). We encountered a highly unusual complication: contralateral tension pneumothorax. Forty-five minutes into the surgical procedure, a sudden cardiovascular collapse occurred.
