1,3,5-Triformylphloroglucinol Derived β-Ketoenamine-Linked Functional Covalent Organic Frameworks with Enhanced Crystallinity and Stability-Recent Advances.

Crystallinity, stability, and complexity are significant factors to consider in the design and development of covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Among various building blocks used, 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) is notable for enhancing both crystallinity and structural stability in COFs. Tp facilitates the formation of β-ketoenamine-linked COFs through keto-enol tautomerism when reacted with aromatic amines.

Objectives: To study the clinical and radiological outcomes and study the effect on quality of life by patient-reported outcomes (EQ5D5L) and VAS (Visual Analog Scale) score in patients of infected non-union of distal femur managed with combination of Masquelet method and Ilizarov ring fixator.

Indian Trial of Tranexamic acid in Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage study protocol.

Rationale: Early mortality in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is due to hematoma volume (HV) expansion, and there are no effective treatments available other than reduction in blood pressure. Tranexamic acid (TXA) a hemostatic drug that is widely available and safe can be a cost-effective treatment for ICH, if proven efficacious.

Hypothesis: Administration of TXA in ICH patients when given within 4.

Familial renal glycosuria identified in an Indian family.

Glycosuria can be isolated or it can be associated with other tubulopathies like proximal renal tubular acidosis, Fanconi syndrome and endocrine conditions like diabetes mellitus. gene codes for the SGLT2 transporter, which is responsible for glucose reabsorption in the proximal tubule. Previously reported cases show that mutation in this gene is associated with intellectual disability, seizure disorder and renin and angiotensin system dysfunction.

A grid-wise approach for accurate computation of Standardized Runoff Index (SRI).

The Standardized Runoff Index (SRI) is a major indicator for evaluating hydrological drought conditions, accomplished by comparing the current runoff data with retrospective runoff conditions of an area for the same period. This hydrological drought indicator facilitates the characterisation of runoff variations across diverse regions. This study introduces a refined methodology for accurate computation of SRI by employing a grid-wise approach.

Chronic Adult-Onset Still's Disease With Positive Antinuclear Antibodies: Navigating Diagnostic Dilemmas and Clinical Implications.

Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare systemic autoinflammatory disorder characterized by fever, rash, and joint pain. Despite primarily affecting young adults, it can occur at any age, presenting diagnostic challenges due to its heterogeneous nature and lack of specific laboratory findings. The subset of AOSD with positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) adds complexity, potentially overlapping with other autoimmune conditions.

Design and Simulation of Tunneling Diodes with 2D Insulators for Rectenna Switches.

Rectenna is the key component in radio-frequency circuits for receiving and converting electromagnetic waves into direct current. However, it is very challenging for the conventional semiconductor diode switches to rectify high-frequency signals for 6G telecommunication (>100 GHz), medical detection (>THz), and rectenna solar cells (optical frequencies). Such a major challenge can be resolved by replacing the conventional semiconductor diodes with tunneling diodes as the rectenna switches.

Craniocaudal spread and clinical translation for combined erector spinae plane block and retrolaminar block in soft embalmed cadavers: a randomised controlled equivalence study.

Background: Erector spinae plane (ESP) block spread can be unpredictable. We previously improved the spread of ESP injection by addition of retrolaminar (RL) injection. However, it is not clear whether spread at high thoracic levels is similar to spread at midthoracic levels.

Sensory input to cortex encoded on low-dimensional periphery-correlated subspaces.

As information about the world is conveyed from the sensory periphery to central neural circuits, it mixes with complex ongoing cortical activity. How do neural populations keep track of sensory signals, separating them from noisy ongoing activity? Here, we show that sensory signals are encoded more reliably in certain low-dimensional subspaces. These coding subspaces are defined by correlations between neural activity in the primary sensory cortex and upstream sensory brain regions; the most correlated dimensions were best for decoding.

A Clinico-Mycological and Histopathological Study of Recurrent Dermatophytosis.
