Article Synopsis
  • A research protocol outlines a proposed research idea, serving as a formal document submitted for approval from funding agencies, institutions, or journals, which can be particularly challenging for early-career researchers.
  • Key components of a successful research protocol include a specific title, an abstract summarizing the study, an introduction that defines the knowledge gap, a justification for its significance, clear SMART objectives, a detailed methodology, and plans for dissemination, ethics, budgets, and references.
  • This guide aims to provide practical tips and an overview of the necessary steps to help researchers create a compelling and well-structured protocol to secure approval or funding for their studies.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined factors linked to non-revascularization and mortality in patients with TASC II A/B iliac artery occlusions who underwent endovascular interventions from October 2016 to September 2020.
  • Researchers assessed 133 patients and found significant links between non-revascularization and conditions like diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and severe calcifications, highlighting these as critical risk factors.
  • The study concluded that identifying these factors could improve patient outcomes and suggested the need for further research to understand the underlying mechanisms and develop risk mitigation strategies.

Liver injury with marked elevation of aspartate aminotransferase enzyme (AST) is commonly observed in dengue infection. To understand the pathogenesis of this liver damage, we compared the plasma levels of hepatic specific, centrilobular predominant enzymes (glutamate dehydrogenase, GLDH; glutathione S transferase-α, αGST), periportal enriched 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), periportal predominant arginase-1 (ARG-1), and other non-specific biomarkers (paraoxonase-1, PON-1) in patients with different outcomes of dengue infection. This hospital-based study enrolled 87 adult dengue patients, stratified into three groups based on plasma AST levels (< 80, 80-400, > 400 U/L) in a 1:1:1 ratio (n = 40, n = 40, n = 40, respectively.
