Background: Titanium has been the conventional implant material of choice for fixation in both primary and metastatic spine tumor surgeries (MSTS). However, these implants result in artifact generation during postoperative computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, resulting in poor planning of radiotherapy (RT) and suboptimal tumor surveillance. Carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) implants have gained momentum for instrumentation in MSTS due to their radiolucent properties.

A database comprising primary physicochemical characteristics and soil suitability would assist the planners in devising an appropriate land use policy and any intervention strategy for soil quality improvement. The physicochemical characteristics of soils in parts of the Banganga Basin, located in the semi-arid terrain of NW India were evaluated mainly through surface samples and sub-surface ones wherever sections were exposed in stream banks.

- A survey investigated the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of physicians regarding pain management in neonates, revealing that 87% understood neonatal pain perception but only 57.3% had a formal pain management policy.
- While 66% were aware of pain assessment tools, none utilized them, and only 44.3% were satisfied with their pain management despite using analgesics like midazolam and fentanyl.
- There is a notable hesitance towards opioid use, with 55% believing they should not be used in neonates, yet 86% administered fentanyl, indicating a need for improved pain management strategies in neonatal intensive care.
Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing represents a formidable challenge in the field of microbiology and public health due to its resistance to commonly used antibiotics. These strains pose a serious threat to human and animal health, underscoring the urgency of comprehensive research and surveillance. The ongoing investigation seeks ESBL producing strains from pig farms and slaughterhouses in West Bengal and Assam, India.

- * The multiplex assay was optimized for accuracy and demonstrated a sensitivity to detect as low as 10 CFU/μl of pathogens in samples, confirming its effectiveness with 210 pork samples collected from various sources.
- * Results showed an occurrence of MRSA at 1.9% and MSSA at 18.1%, with a mixed contamination rate of 6.19% in tested pork, highlighting the assay's ability to distinguish multiple pathogens efficiently in one reaction.
