Introduction: Infected gap non-union is a serious complication seen in cases of diaphyseal fracture of forearm bones. It carries high morbidity in the form of severe functional impairment and poses a challenge to treat due to the complex anatomical relationship and articulations involved. Though there are multiple treatment options available, there are no guidelines for its management.

Background: Rapid diagnosis of stroke and its subtypes is critical in early stages. We aimed to discover and validate blood-based protein biomarkers to differentiate ischemic stroke (IS) from intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) using high-throughput proteomics.

Methods: We collected serum samples within 24 h from acute stroke (IS & ICH) and mimics patients.

 Scalp nerve block (SNB) attenuates the hemodynamic response to pin insertion and delivers excellent postoperative analgesia. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of SNB using ketamine as an adjuvant to bupivacaine on perioperative hemodynamic responses and postoperative pain in patients undergoing craniotomy for supratentorial glioma.  Sixty patients were randomized into two groups.

Light exerts multiple non-image-forming biological effects on physiology including the stimulation of alertness and cognition. However, the subcortical circuitry underlying the stimulating impact of light is not established in humans. We used 7 Tesla functional magnetic resonance imaging to assess the impact of variations in light illuminance on the regional activity of the hypothalamus while healthy young adults (N=26; 16 women; 24.

Introduction: "Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors" (PPARs) belong to the class of transcription factors (TF) identified as Nuclear Receptors (NR). Upon activation by peroxisome proliferators (PPs), PPARs modulate a diverse range of genes, consequently regulating intra-cellular lipid metabolism, glucose uptake, apoptosis, and cell proliferation. Subsequent to the heterodimerization of Retinoid X Receptors (RXR) with PPARs induced by the binding of activators to PPARs, facilitates the binding of the resulting complex to Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors Response Elements (PPRE), with a consensus sequence 5'AGGTCANAGGTCA-3', and regulate the transcription of the targeted genes.
