Analysis of 55 positive tests of a total of 300 tests by conventional criteria revealed that 125I-fibrinogen provides useful information early enough for clinical management. Of the tests which were ultimately interpreted as positive by conventional criteria, at least one was positive at 3-4 hours in 67% of the tests and 98% of the tests were positive at 24 hours after the administration of 125I-fibrinogen. A 20% difference between contralateral identical locations of the legs and a 20% difference between adjacent locations of the ipsilateral leg were found with almost equal frequency in the positive tests, whereas a 20% increase at the same location was less sensitive. The 125I-fibrogen uptake test is a simple and accurate technique for early diagnosis of active thrombophlebitis.

Department of Pathology, Korea University Guro Hospital, Korea University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Bile duct brush cytology is a widely used and essential method for evaluating biliary tract lesions, although it remains challenging for pathologists. Liquid-based preparations provide a better vision of morphology and enable the preparation of cell blocks, thereby enhancing reliability. However, the establishment of reproducible interpretation criteria and utilization of cell blocks remain limited.

January 2025
Background: Chronic neuropathic pain is a major health problem that adversely affects people's physical and mental well-being, as well as their quality of life. Percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) may offer a minimally invasive option earlier in the treatment continuum for adults with chronic neuropathic pain that is refractory to conventional medical management. We conducted a health technology assessment of PNS for adults with chronic neuropathic pain, which included an evaluation of effectiveness, safety, cost-effectiveness, the budget impact of publicly funding PNS, and patient preferences and values.

Critical Care Medicine, Fortis Hospital Bannerghatta road, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.
Objective: To study the impact of kinetic glomerular filtration rate (kGFR) on clinical decision making and its implications on drug dosing compared to that of estimated GFR (eGFR) using chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) admitted in a tertiary level intensive care unit (ICU).
Methods: Cross-sectional, prospective, observational study design. All patients admitted to Medical ICU, Fortis Hospital, Bangalore with AKI defined as per AKI network (AKIN) criteria.
Development and validation of the Women Autonomy Scale for measuring psychosocial freedom from conventional gender roles.

Department of Psychiatry, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Government Hospitals, Arabian Gulf University, Manama, Bahrain.
Background: The concepts of masculinity and femininity have historically shaped gender roles, leading to inequality and gender-based discrimination. Women's autonomy, defined as the ability to make independent choices across various life domains, remains inadequately measured by existing scales. This study addresses this gap by developing and validating the Women Autonomy Scale (WAS).

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the role of DNA ploidy and proliferation index in distinguishing ameloblastoma (AB) from ameloblastic carcinoma (AC).
Methods: The study included 29 ACs, 6 conventional ABs that transformed into ACs, and a control cohort of 20 conventional ABs. The demographics and clinicopathologic details of the included cases were summarised and compared.
