Left Chylothorax Without Ascites in a Liver Transplant Patient.

Chylothorax is a rare condition that results from thoracic duct disruption with malignant and nonmalignant etiologies manifesting as a pleural effusion. Typically, chylothorax in the setting of cirrhosis is associated with the migration of chylous ascites. We present the case of a 64-year-old male with prior liver transplant who presented with new-onset transudative chylothorax without chylous ascites who responded to transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt revision, diuresis, and serial thoracentesis.

Temperature-Controlled Hydrothermal Synthesis of α-MnO Nanorods for Catalytic Oxidation of Cyclohexanone.

This work describes the comparison of the catalytic performances of α-MnO nanorods synthesized by a facile hydrothermal approach at varying temperatures (140-200 °C). The structure and morphology of these nanorods were analyzed by XRD, N-physisorption, NH-TPD, Raman, SEM, HRTEM, and XPS. The prepared α-MnO nanorods also performed exceptionally well in the catalytic oxidation of cyclohexanone to dicarboxylic acids under mild reaction conditions.

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Parameters in Indian Patients With Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.

Background In this study, we aimed to evaluate optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) parameters among Indian patients affected with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). Methodology A cross-sectional study on Indian patients having unilateral or bilateral affection with CSCR was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology, Guru Nanak Eye Centre, and Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi. A history of ocular symptoms such as a diminution of vision, metamorphopsia, decreased contrast sensitivity (CS), and defective color vision (CV) and their duration were obtained.

The Gut Microbiota: a Novel Player in the Pathogenesis of Uterine Fibroids.

Uterine fibroid is a common gynecological disorder that affects women of reproductive age and has emerged as a major public health concern. The symptoms have a negative influence on both their physical health and quality of life. The cost of treatment has a significant impact on the disease's burden.

The Association of Neovascularization With Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Parameters in Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy.

Aim: We aim to find an association between neovascularization (NVn) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) parameters in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).

Methods: In a prospective study, 41 subjects including 28 (68%) males and 13 (32%) females having PDR were examined for neovascularization disc (NVD) and neovascularization elsewhere (NVE) clinically and with fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA). A total of 79 eyes were found to be involved.
