Unveiling the potential of Aspergillus terreus SJP02 for zinc remediation and its driving mechanism.

In present study, 15 morphologically different fungi isolated from rhizopheric soils of an industrial area were screened for their Zn removal efficiency from aqueous solution. Isolate depicting highest potential was molecularly identified as Aspergillus terreus SJP02. Effect of various process parameters viz.

Nutrient composition of human milk of Indian mothers: relation with maternal and infant anthropometry.

The aim of the study was to determine the nutrient composition of human milk (HM) of Indian mothers and investigate its association with maternal and infant anthropometric measures. Human milk is an ideal source of nutrition for optimum growth and development of infant. Among Indian mothers, HM composition data is scanty, especially during prolonged lactation.

The Change in Liver Volume After Inferior Vena Cava and/or Hepatic Vein Venoplasty in Patients With Budd Chiari Syndrome With at Least One Patent Hepatic Vein Presenting With Ascites.

Objective: To assess the effects of inferior vena cava and/or hepatic vein (IVC±HV) venoplasty on liver volumetry and function in individuals with Budd Chiari syndrome (BCS) who present with ascites and at least one patent hepatic vein.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 17 patients with BCS (6 males and 11 females, average age of 42.3 ± 11.

Role of Locoregional Therapy on Survival After Living Donor Liver Transplantation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma--Experience from a High-volume Center.

Background: Locoregional therapy (LRT) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) before liver transplantation (LT) has a role in improving the tumor biology and post-LT survival outcome apart from downstaging and bridging. We retrospectively analyzed our database of adult living donor liver transplants (LDLT) for HCC, to compare the survival outcomes in Group-1 (upfront-LT, HCC within Milan/UCSF/AFP<1000 ng/ml) and Group-2 (LT post-LRT, HCC beyond UCSF/irrespective of tumor burden with AFP>1000 ng/ml). We also explored the risk factors for recurrence on follow-up.

Remote management of anaemia in patients with end-stage kidney disease using a wearable, non-invasive sensor.

Anaemia is a prevalent complication in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) undergoing haemodialysis. This study evaluates the accuracy of the Alio SmartPatch™, a non-invasive remote monitoring device, in measuring haemoglobin (Hb) and haematocrit (Hct) levels in haemodialysis patients by comparing its results with standard blood-based laboratory methods. The results from 116 patients across multiple sites in the USA and the Kingdom of Jordan show that SmartPatch measurements align closely with standard blood-based laboratory methods, meeting clinically acceptable limits of agreement.
