Targeting scapular muscles with facilitatory movement patterns to improve upper extremity function in gangliocapsular stroke: a case report.

Background: Gangliocapsular stroke is a specific type of hemorrhagic stroke that primarily affects the basal ganglia and internal capsule due to rupture of the lenticulostriate perforating arteries. Patients afflicted with this condition often present with contralateral motor deficits, particularly affecting the upper extremity. Additionally, these individuals may experience challenges in coordination and stability, largely due to the involvement of the shoulder and scapular girdle.

Challenges and Innovations in Breast Cancer Screening in India: A Review of Epidemiological Trends and Diagnostic Strategies.

The intricate terrain of breast cancer (BC) in India is examined in this review, which also looks at screening techniques, geographical differences, epidemiological trends, and obstacles to early diagnosis. BC has a major impact in India, especially on women. The research examines data from 2014 to 2024 and finds that, although overall cancer rates are declining, there has been a noticeable increase in BC cases.

An assessment of the factors contributing to the unavailability of drugs at outpatient pharmacy of tertiary care hospital: an observational study.

Introduction: Throughout history and up until the present, there has been a medicine shortage. In the early 1920s, there was a shortage of insulin, which is when drug scarcity first appeared in the records. Drug shortages are now more prevalent globally than they were back then.

Mothers making milestones: Awareness of rural mothers toward pediatric milestones.

Background: Developmental milestones are easily identifiable events during a child's development, and their thorough monitoring is of utmost importance till 6 years of age. Rural mothers are rarely explained these milestones, which may be a reason for the higher prevalence of developmental disorders in rural areas (≊18%). This study aimed to assess the knowledge of developmental milestones in rural mothers attending a rural, tertiary care hospital and further provides intelligence to the mothers on the same.

Revolutionizing Eye Care: Exploring the Potential of Microneedle Drug Delivery.

Microneedle technology revolutionizes ocular drug delivery by addressing challenges in treating ocular diseases. This review explores its potential impact, recent advancements, and clinical uses. This minimally invasive technique offers precise control of drug delivery to the eye, with various microneedle types showing the potential to penetrate barriers in the cornea and sclera, ensuring effective drug delivery.

Microbial Contamination and Antibiotic Resistance in Fresh Produce and Agro-Ecosystems in South Asia-A Systematic Review.

Fresh produce prone to microbial contamination is a potential reservoir for antimicrobial-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), posing challenges to food safety and public health. This systematic review aims to comprehensively assess the prevalence of bacterial pathogens and the incidence of ARB/ARGs in fresh produce and agro-ecosystems across South Asia. Twenty-two relevant studies published between 2012 and 2022 from three major scientific databases and the grey literature were identified.

Strengthening Tuberculosis Control Among Migrant Workers.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious infectious disease accounting for a significant number of deaths due to the infectious nature of the disease on the global platform. Migrant workers need special attention as these population groups live in substandard and crowded environmental conditions with poor ventilation, which play a crucial role in augmenting the risk of acquisition of infection. The global vision to ensure the delivery of effective TB control-related services for migrant workers has been influenced by a wide range of barriers.

Unmasking herpes encephalitis masquerading as acute psychosis via neuroimaging.

Psychosis is a complex mental health condition that can have a profound impact on individuals and their families. It is characterized by a loss of contact with reality, including delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized thinking. While psychosis is most commonly associated with psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, it is crucial to consider other potential causes to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Thymic mass in an elderly male patient with myasthenia gravis: A rare presentation.

Myasthenia gravis is an acquired neuromuscular disorder characterized by weakness of the extra-ocular muscles, which progresses to generalized weakness of the voluntary muscles and fatigability. The presented case is of a 70-year-old male patient who presented with complaints of drooping of bilateral eyelids and breathlessness and was diagnosed to have myasthenia gravis and thymic mass. It is uncommon for an elderly patient to present with thymic mass and myasthenia gravis concurrently.

Eosinophilic Duodenitis Presenting As Severe Iron Deficiency Anemia: A Rare Presentation.

Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs) are representative of eosinophilic invasion of various sections of the gastrointestinal tract and do not pertain to any secondary causes. To affirm the diagnosis of eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract, tissue biopsy evidence must be demonstrated. Both iron deficiency anemia and gastritis symptoms may be brought on by mucosal eosinophilic infiltration.

Outstretching challenges for rehabilitation of a mucormycotic case-a digitally designed patient-specific implant approach in the recent era.

Background: Reconstruction of maxillofacial defects is challenging due to the region's complex anatomy. During the COVID-19 era, many patients lost their maxilla and chewing efficiency as a result of Mucormycosis. In such cases, custom-designed implants offer a graftless solution for seemingly hopeless situations.

Extension of impurity profiling on eltrombopag olamine to in-silico predictions: An effort to exploit correlated forced degradation products and known drug-related substances in drug discovery.

The recent pandemic has highlighted the impact of diseases on global health and the economy. The rapid discovery of new hit molecules remains a tough challenge. Pharmaceutical impurity profiling can be linked to drug discovery through the identification of new hits from compounds identified during the analytical profiling.

Shedding light on maternal mental health in LMICs: a cornerstone of maternal and child health care.

Maternal and Child Health (MCH) programs have long been integral to global public health initiatives, aiming to safeguard the well-being of both mothers and their offspring. However, amidst the comprehensive approach to physical health, the mental well-being of mothers has often been overlooked, representing a critical gap in these programs. This paper examines the importance of addressing maternal mental health within the framework of MCH programs, highlighting its significance and the repercussions of its neglect.
