Insulator-to-Metal Transition and Isotropic Gigantic Magnetoresistance in Layered Magnetic Semiconductors.

Magnetotransport, the response of electrical conduction to external magnetic field, acts as an important tool to reveal fundamental concepts behind exotic phenomena and plays a key role in enabling spintronic applications. Magnetotransport is generally sensitive to magnetic field orientations. In contrast, efficient and isotropic modulation of electronic transport, which is useful in technology applications such as omnidirectional sensing, is rarely seen, especially for pristine crystals.

Equity in Transplantation Access in Nepal: An Analysis of Gender, Geographic, and Caste-Based Disparities in Transplants.

Transplantation is a lifesaving modality for addressing various organ failures. While kidney transplant services became available in Nepal in 2008, the introduction of liver transplantation is more recent. The government provides financial assistance to support lifelong dialysis and kidney transplantation.

Pegcetacoplan in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria: A systematic review on efficacy and safety.

Introduction: Pegcetacoplan, a pegylated penta-decapeptide, targets complement C3 to control both intravascular and extravascular hemolysis. This systematic review aims to study the efficacy and safety of pegcetacoplan in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH).

Methods: We performed a comprehensive and systematic literature search for all studies on PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and clinicaltrials.

ANCA-associated vasculitis following Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.

Introduction: Antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies associated vasculitis (AAV) is characterized by antibodies against antigens in cytoplasmic granules of neutrophils and predominantly affects small vessels. AAV after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination has been reported.

Case Presentation: We report a rare case of AAV in a patient who presented with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) after Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine administration.

Safety and efficacy of coronavirus disease-19 vaccines in chronic kidney disease patients under maintenance hemodialysis: A systematic review.

Background And Aims: Patients on maintenance dialysis are a high-risk, immune-compromised population with 15%-25% coronavirus disease (COVID-19) mortality rate that has been underrepresented in COVID-19 vaccination clinical trials. The aim of study was to review of those studies to determine the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccination in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis systematically.

Methods: The effectiveness was assessed by looking at the humoral and cellular responses.

Therapeutic drug level of tacrolimus causing intracranial hemorrhage in a patient with renal transplant.

Tacrolimus is used in solid organ transplant patients to prevent rejection, and no case of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has been reported till date. We report a case of 31-year-old man with diabetes and hypertension for ten years who had a renal transplant four years back; diagnosed with tacrolimus-induced ICH.

Intranasal midazolam for rapid sedation of an agitated patient.

Rapidly, establishing a difficult intravenous access in a dangerously agitated patient is a real challenge. Intranasal midazolam has been shown to be effective and safe for rapidly sedating patients before anesthesia, for procedural sedation and for control of seizure. Here, we report a patient in intensive care unit who was on mechanical ventilation and on inotropic support for management of septic shock and who turned out extremely agitated after accidental catheter removal.

Intravenous ketamine for treatment of super-refractory convulsive status epilepticus with septic shock: A report of two cases.

Refractory and super-refractory status epilepticus is a life-threatening neurological emergency, associated with high morbidity and mortality. Treatment should be aimed to stop seizure and to avoid cerebral damage and another morbidity. Published data about effectiveness, safety and outcome of various therapies and treatment approaches are sparse and are mainly based on small case series and retrospective data.
