Article Synopsis
- Heart failure often leads to multiple hospital re-admissions, causing significant economic and quality of life challenges for patients, highlighting the need for better understanding of re-admission rates and predictors.
- In a study involving 350 heart failure patients at Ayub Teaching Hospital, the overall re-admission rate was found to be 58.28%, with varying rates based on the number of readmissions within 90 days.
- Key independent predictors for readmission included diabetes mellitus, increased heart rate, nephropathy, and a higher neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, which could help in identifying patients at risk of re-admission after discharge.
SlicerCineTrack: An open-source research toolkit for target tracking verification in 3D Slicer.

January 2025
Purpose: Target motion monitoring plays a significant role in several computer-assisted interventions. However, ensuring the reliability of tracking algorithms can be challenging without adequate tools. We introduce SlicerCineTrack, a free open-source research toolkit, designed to provide users with a user-friendly interface for visualizing their target tracking results.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAlzheimer's disease (AD) is a multifactorial neurological disorder that involves multiple enzymes in the process of developing. Conventional monotherapies provide relief, necessitating alternative multi-targeting approaches to address AD complexity. Therefore, we synthesize N-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl) benzamide-based compounds and tested against monoamine oxidases (MAO-A and MAO-B).

- Heavy metal contamination, particularly arsenic and cadmium, poses a significant threat to crop production and global food security, prompting the need for effective remediation methods.
- Traditional remediation methods face limitations due to environmental risks and high costs, leading researchers to explore calcium and calcium-based nano-formulations as potential solutions to reduce toxicity in soil.
- The review examines the effects of arsenic and cadmium on crop health, evaluates the efficacy of calcium treatments compared to conventional techniques, and discusses future directions and ecological implications for sustainable agricultural practices.
Purpose: To evaluate outcomes including safety and efficacy of drug-eluting bead trans-arterial chemo-embolization (DEB-TACE) in the treatment of locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (LA-HCC).
Materials And Methods: In this single-center, retrospective study, we evaluated 471 consecutive patients with LA-HCC who underwent DEB-TACE from 2015 to 2020. Efficacy of DEB-TACE was assessed based on the imaging response using the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) and the biochemical response using alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels at 1-month follow-up.
