A Study on the Clinico-serological Features of Nail Psoriasis.

Introduction: Nail psoriasis is a relatively unexplored clinical feature in the Indian population. Its correlation with cutaneous, musculoskeletal, and serological manifestations was analyzed.

Material And Methods: This study included 45 patients with clinically evident nail psoriasis.

Influence of Ag doping on structural, morphological, and optical characteristics of sol-gel spin-coated TiO thin films.

Pure and Ag-doped Titanium dioxide (TiO) thin films have been synthesized via the sol-gel spin coating method, and their structural, morphological, and optical properties have been investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis verifies that the polycrystalline anatase TiO phase is retained up to 2 % Ag doping. However, lattice expansion and grain refinement down to 25.

Characterizing Hypertension Specialist Care in Canada: A National Survey.

Background: The hypertension specialist often receives referrals of patients with young-onset, severe, difficult-to-control hypertension, patients with hypertensive emergencies, and patients with secondary causes of hypertension. Specialist hypertension care compliments primary care for these complex patients and contributes to an overall hypertension control strategy. The objective of this study was to characterize hypertension centres and the practice patterns of Canadian hypertension specialists.

Cancer Staging in Patients with Compromised Renal Function: Is PET/CT an Alternative to Contrast CT Scan?

Null.

Disseminated Cysticercosis Masquerading as Mucocutaneous Nodules.

is the larval form of the pork tapeworm, . It can be transmitted to humans through food and water contaminated with eggs. The cysticerci formed are spread through the intestinal wall and are carried by the blood stream to muscles, brain, and subcutaneous tissues, leading to clinical manifestations.

Redesigning Kidney Care for the Anthropocene: A New Framework for Planetary Health in Nephrology.

Climate change is one of the greatest threats to human health in the 21st century. The human health impacts of climate change contribute to approximately 1 in 4 deaths worldwide. Health care itself is responsible for approximately 5% of annual global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Disparities in adult critical care resources across Pakistan: findings from a national survey and assessment using a novel scoring system.

Background: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, concerted efforts were made by provincial and federal governments to invest in critical care infrastructure and medical equipment to bridge the gap of resource-limitation in intensive care units (ICUs) across Pakistan. An initial step in creating a plan toward strengthening Pakistan's baseline critical care capacity was to carry out a needs-assessment within the country to assess gaps and devise strategies for improving the quality of critical care facilities.

Methods: To assess the baseline critical care capacity of Pakistan, we conducted a series of cross-sectional surveys of hospitals providing COVID-19 care across the country.

Ballodiolic Acid A and B: Two New ROS, (OH), (ONOO) Scavenging and Potent Antimicrobial Constituents Isolated from (L.) Benth.

Bioassays guided phytochemical investigations on the ethyl acetate-soluble fraction of the root material of (L.) Benth. led to the isolation of two new compounds, ballodiolic acid A () and ballodiolic acid B (), along with three known compounds ballodiolic acid (), ballotenic acid (), and β-amyrin (), which were also isolated for the first time from this species by using multiple chromatographic techniques.

Efficacy of Topical 5% 5-Fluorouracil with Needling versus 5% 5-Fluorouracil Alone in Stable Vitiligo: A Randomized Controlled Study.

Background: Vitiligo is a chronic disease of great cosmetic concern presenting with depigmented macules and patches. It is often recalcitrant to medical treatment.

Aim: The aim of the study was to study the efficacy and safety of topical 5% 5-fluorouracil with needling versus topical 5% 5-fluorouracil alone in stable vitiligo.

The Impact of Onychopathies on Quality of Life: A Hospital-based, Cross-sectional Study.

Background: Onychopathies or nail disorders are associated with social stigma and causes limitation of daily activities by hampering the function of both fingers and toes.

Aim: To evaluate the impact of onychopathies on quality of life (QoL) and compare the severity of impact on QoL in various nail disorders.

Materials And Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study consisting of 540 patients with onychopathies was conducted in the dermatology outpatient department.

Comparison of efficacy and safety of 30% hydrogen peroxide with 50% trichloroacetic acid in seborrheic keratosis: a randomized controlled study.

Background: Seborrheic keratosis is a benign skin tumour. None of the common therapies is satisfactory. This study compared the efficacy of 30% hydrogen peroxide versus 50% trichloroacetic acid in treatment of seborrheic keratoses.

Renovascular hypertension from the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor ponatinib.

Drug-induced hypertension is one of the commonest causes of secondary hypertension. In the last few years, secondary hypertension due to tyrosine kinase inhibitors, from the vascular endothelial growth factor class, has been recognized to be an important cause of hypertension, as well as proteinuria, and occasionally kidney dysfunction in some cases. Less well-recognized is that BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors also have adverse vascular effects.

Lipoid Proteinosis with Esotropia: Report of a Rare Case and Dermoscopic Findings.

Lipoid proteinosis (LP) is a rare progressive autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the extracellular matrix protein 1 gene present on chromosome 1q21. It is characterized by infiltration of hyaline material into the skin, mucosae, and internal organs. Patients present with a classical history of repeated blistering, skin scarring, beaded eyelid papules, waxy papules over the body, and laryngeal and tongue infiltration leading to hoarseness of voice and restricted tongue movement.

Intralesional Vitamin D3 in Recalcitrant Palmoplantar and Periungual Warts: A Prospective, Observational Study.

Cutaneous warts are particularly difficult to treat with conventional treatment on sites such as the palms, soles, and periungual region. Immunotherapy boosts the host immune response and helps clear warts with less chance of recurrence. Vitamin D plays an important role in proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes.

Impact on quality of life in patients with dermatophytosis.

Background/objectives: Dermatophytosis can have a significant effect on patient's psychosocial and economic life. Despite this, knowledge on the quality of life (QoL) in patients with dermatophytosis is limited. The objective of the present study was to assess the quality of life in patients with dermatophytosis.

Date fruit dataset for intelligent harvesting.

The date palm is one of the most valuable fruit trees in the world. Most methods used for date fruit inspection, harvesting, grading, and classification are manual, which makes them ineffective in terms of both time and economy. Research on automated date fruit harvesting is limited as there is no public dataset for date fruits to aid in this.

Information geometric analysis of long range topological superconductors.

The Uhlmann connection is a mixed state generalisation of the Berry connection. The latter has a very important role in the study of topological phases at zero temperature. Closely related, the quantum fidelity is an information theoretical quantity which is a measure of distinguishability of quantum states.
