- During the COVID-19 pandemic, Nepal encountered new variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
- A study sequenced 278 samples from September 2021 to March 2022, resulting in 229 high-quality genomes.
- The findings revealed that 82.97% of the genomes were Omicron variants, while 17.03% were Delta variants, showcasing the genomic diversity of the virus in Nepal.
The increasing prevalence of cannabis worldwide requires awareness of a potential, less recognized, paradoxical entity, the cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS). This includes cyclic episodes of nausea, vomiting, and compulsive hot water bathing for alleviation in individuals with chronic cannabis use. An 18-year-old male with daily and prolonged cannabis use has excessive nausea and vomiting, is diagnosed with CHS, and is further complicated by severe and rapidly fluctuating hypophosphatemia.

- - Recent research shows that amino acid repeats are linked to various diseases and impact the development of disordered protein regions.
- - Existing algorithms for analyzing these repeats have limitations, such as restrictions on repeat length and the number of protein sequences that can be analyzed.
- - The new method, ISRMPS, allows for identification of identical and distantly located repeats in multiple protein sequences, useful for studying evolution, epitope mapping, and CRISPR-Cas sequencing.
Post-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia is a rare but life-threatening condition resulting from a traumatic injury to the diaphragm. We present a case of a 48-year-old man with a history of fall injury and a delayed presentation of a right-sided diaphragmatic hernia with subsequent bowel obstruction and perforation in a patient with a history of trauma and tuberculosis. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy with manual reduction of the herniated bowel, primary repair of the diaphragmatic defect, and the creation of a double-barrel ileostomy.
