During the last few decades, the world financial crisis sheds on the bank risk, which creates a direct threat to the existence of banks. This paper investigates the relationship between bank risk and loan growth in the South Asian economies. The study has collected data from BankFocus of 118 commercial banks from 2011 to 2019. This study explores three hypotheses explaining the relation between (i) Bank Risk and Loan Growth; (ii) Loan growth and Bank Profitability; and (iii) Loan growth and bank solvency. Results show that loan growth can induce bank risk in the South Asian economic region. At the same time, Banks' solvency and profitability are correlated to bank risk with statistical significance. Primarily OLS has been applied, followed by GMM estimation. Non-Performing Loan (NPL) has been used as the proxy of bank risk. Further, to check the robustness of the investigation, we have used ZSCORE as a replacement to NPL. The results derived from regressions can put light on banks' poor performance in the South Asian counties and, simultaneously, may set guidance for policymakers of emerging economies.

Department of Pathology, Nash Family Department of Neuroscience, Department of Artificial Intelligence & Human Health, Neuropathology Brain Bank & Research CoRE, Ronald M. Loeb Center for Alzheimer's Disease, Friedman Brain Institute, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, USA.

This review highlights a collection of both diverse and highly impactful studies published in the previous year selected by the author from the neurodegenerative neuropathology literature. As with previous reviews in this series, the focus is, to the best of my ability, to highlight human tissue-based experimentation most relevant to experimental and clinical neuropathologists. A concerted effort was made to balance the selected studies across neurodegenerative disease categories, approaches, and methodologies to capture the breadth of the research landscape.

Background: Although ABO and RhD are the clinically significant blood group antigens that are routinely tested for, other blood group antigens may become important in multiply transfused patients due to risk of alloimmunization. Knowledge of antigen prevalence in a population is important in the context of alloimmunization and antigen matching. This study aims to do the same in a population of voluntary blood donors of a center in South India.

Background: Locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinomas (LA-PDAC) are more frequently operated now than in the past because of new regimen chemotherapy and improvement in surgical technique. Resection of the coeliac trunk (CT) during pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) or total pancreatectomy (TP) is not routinely done owing to the risk of liver and gastric ischaemia. In this video, a patient with LA-PDAC underwent TP with CT resection and retrograde gastric revascularization through the distal splenic artery.

Tests for diagnosis of postpartum haemorrhage at vaginal birth.

Cochrane Database Syst Rev

January 2025

School of Medical Sciences, Department of Metabolism and Systems Science, WHO Collaborating Centre for Global Women's Health Research, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK.

Background: Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide. Accurate diagnosis of PPH can prevent adverse outcomes by enabling early treatment.

Objectives: What is the accuracy of methods (index tests) for diagnosing primary PPH (blood loss ≥ 500 mL in the first 24 hours after birth) and severe primary PPH (blood loss ≥ 1000 mL in the first 24 hours after birth) (target conditions) in women giving birth vaginally (participants) compared to weighed blood loss measurement or other objective measurements of blood loss (reference standards)?
