Cardiac Contractility Modulation for Heart Failure: Current and Future Directions.

Cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) is a Food and Drug Administration-approved device-based therapy for patients with heart failure. The system delivers biphasic electric stimulation to the ventricular myocardium during the absolute refractory period to augment left ventricular contraction. CCM therapy promotes acute and chronic changes at the cellular level, leading to favorable remodeling throughout the myocardium.

Occult Thyroid Carcinoma with Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis: A Rare Case Report.

Cervical lymph node metastasis is one of the most common clinical presentations of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Occult thyroid carcinoma is described as absence of primary tumour or with presence of microcarcinoma in thyroid with cervical lymph node metastasis. Frequency of occult thyroid cancer has decreased due to developments in imaging and improved accuracy of histological examinations.

Anisotropic Stick-Slip Frictional Surfaces via Titania Nanorod Patterning.

Nanoscale or microscale surface texturing is an effective technique to tailor the tribological properties between two surfaces that are rubbed against each other. In order to achieve the desired frictional properties by a patterned surface, one needs an in-depth understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate anisotropic stick-slip friction achieved via a nanotextured surface of tilted titania nanorods (TiNRs).

Magnetic resonance imaging evaluation of gynecological mass lesions: A comprehensive analysis with histopathological correlation.

Evaluating gynecological mass lesions and reviewing their morphological characteristics based on their imaging appearance on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and correlating the MRI findings with histopathological findings, was the central theme of our study. This observational cross-sectional study was conducted on 60 female patients with clinically suspected gynecological mass lesions upon physical examination and/or ultrasonography, referred for MRI at a tertiary care hospital over a 1-year period between June 2022 and July 2023. A broad spectrum of differential diagnoses of gynecological masses was observed.

Harnessing the power of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) based microfluidics for next-generation molecular diagnostics.

CRISPR-based (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-based) technologies have revolutionized molecular biology and diagnostics, offering unprecedented precision and versatility. However, challenges remain, such as high costs, demanding technical expertise, and limited quantification capabilities. To overcome these limitations, innovative microfluidic platforms are emerging as powerful tools for enhancing CRISPR diagnostics.

An Investigation of the Inflammatory Landscape in the Brain and Bone Marrow of the APP/PS1 Mouse.

Background: The APP/PS1 mouse model recapitulates pathology of human Alzheimer's disease (AD). While amyloid-β peptide deposition and neurodegeneration are features of AD, the pathology may involve inflammation and impaired vascular regeneration.

Objective: This study evaluated inflammatory environments in the brain and bone marrow (BM), and the impact on brain microvascular density.

Interplay between tuberculosis, mental illness, and treatment compliance: An integrative literature review.

Tuberculosis and Mental Illness (TB-MI) often co-occur with a varying range of interactions of both. The rising incidence of both in Low- and Middle-income countries (LMICs) is an emergent public health problem with accompanying higher morbidity and complications in management. The objective of this review is to gather insights into how healthcare providers can enhance their support for patients with TB-MI, to improve treatment adherence and overall health outcomes.

Economic valuation and characterization of heavy metal contamination in Dal Lake Srinagar, Kashmir, India.

Dal Lake, the world-famous tourist attraction has been polluted by allochthonous and autochthonous sources, as a result the heavy metal (HMs) concentrations within the water body has reached the toxic levels which is endangering the lives of the people. A study was carried out during the year 2021 (i) to determine the concentration of HMs (molybdenum: Mo, arsenic: Ar, cadmium: Cd, lead: Pb) at the four designated sites of Dal Lake, and (ii) a public survey (400 persons) involving economic valuation of water body in terms of recreational use and other benefits. The highest values of biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) within the Dal Lake were recorded at site A, which were 31 ± 1.

N-doped nano-casted carbon monolith for Pb (II) removal and photocatalytic degradation of thiamethoxam from aqueous solution.

Single rock-like N-doped carbon monolith (ND-PFCM) was successfully constructed via nanocasting method. Phenol formaldehyde resin was taken as carbon source and nitrogen was incorporated in monoliths through NaNH activation. The synthesized monoliths were used for the removal of Pb (II) from aqueous solution.

Enzyme-based sensor for the real-time detection of atrazine: Evidence from electrochemical and docking studies.

This study focused on strategically employing the carboxylesterase enzyme Ha006a, derived from the pesticide-resistant microorganism Helicoverpa armigera, to detect atrazine. A comprehensive analysis through biochemical, biophysical and bioinformatics approaches was conducted to determine the interaction between the Ha006a protein and the herbicide atrazine. These experimental findings elucidated the potential of leveraging the inherent pesticide sequestration mechanism of the Ha006a enzyme for sensor fabrication.

Observation of the ϒ(3S) Meson and Suppression of ϒ States in Pb-Pb Collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV.

The production of ϒ(2S) and ϒ(3S) mesons in lead-lead (Pb-Pb) and proton-proton (pp) collisions is studied in their dimuon decay channel using the CMS detector at the LHC. The ϒ(3S) meson is observed for the first time in Pb-Pb collisions, with a significance above 5 standard deviations. The ratios of yields measured in Pb-Pb and pp collisions are reported for both the ϒ(2S) and ϒ(3S) mesons, as functions of transverse momentum and Pb-Pb collision centrality.
