A pancreatic pseudocyst sitting in the mediastinum-A case report of an unusual occurrence.

Pancreatitis can produce several complications such as pseudocyst, which can happen in acute and chronic pancreatitides. Pseudocysts are typically found in the abdomen but can rarely extend into the mediastinum. Atypical symptoms such as dyspnea, dysphagia, coughing, vomiting, abdominal or chest pain, and hemoptysis are usually the notable complaints. CT scan, MRI, and endoscopic ultrasound are valuable diagnostic modalities. Drainage and surgical removal of the pseudocyst are the treatment options. Herein, we outline the case of a young female with episodic chest and epigastric discomfort, dysphagia, and weight loss. Previously, she was incorrectly diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease and peptic ulcer. A mediastinal pseudocyst secondary to chronic pancreatitis was found to be the cause. The patient underwent surgical removal of the pseudocyst and a pancreaticojejunostomy. Significant improvement was noticed at follow-up. This article highlights the possibility of such unusual conditions and the importance of a proper assessment while treating patients with epigastric pain.

The C-N bond formation under mild reaction conditions, employing NiCl2 as the catalyst and cataCXiumA as a ligand, results in the production of a diverse array of alkylated secondary or tertiary amines, including heterocyclic amines. This method introduces a novel catalytic strategy that emphasizes the versatility of nickel-catalyzed reactions, extending beyond traditional synthetic boundaries.

Decoding LY6G6D in colorectal cancer: Unraveling biomarker potential and therapeutic insights.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) poses a significant global health challenge with high morbidity and mortality rates. This study investigates the role of LY6G6D, a member of the LY6/uPAR superfamily, in CRC. Employing a bioinformatic approach, we analyzed LY6G6D expression across different cancer types, compared it with known oncogenes in CRC, explored the involved genomic alterations, and assessed associated clinicopathological characteristics. LY6G6D exhibited aberrant expression, particularly elevated in CRC adenocarcinoma and highly specific to tumor tissues when compared with other oncogenes, despite its comparatively low frequency of genomic alteration. Subsequently, tumor immune infiltration analysis revealed distinct associations, primarily indicating a negative correlation, suggesting immune down-regulation. Survival analysis in context of LY6G6D was conducted with Kaplan-Meier (KM) curves, indicating a 10% risk of disease recurrence in the case of elevated expression. Additionally, we constructed a 3D protein model of LY6G6D through ab-inito approach. The protein model was validated, followed by conservation analysis and active site identification. Active site identification of LY6G6D's final predicted model revealed some similar sites that were estimated to be conserved. Target-guided drug molecules were collected and molecular docking was executed, proposing Cardigin (Digitoxin) and Manzamine A as potential therapeutic candidates. In conclusion, LY6G6D emerges as a significant biomarker for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in CRC, highlighting its multifaceted role in tumorigenesis. The proposed drugs present avenues for further investigations.

Exploring the effects of noise pollution on physiology and ptilochronology of birds.

Short and long-term sound-induced stress on daily basis can affect the physiology of avian individuals because they are more susceptible to sound stress in an open environment. OBJECTIVES: An ex-situ study was carried out to determine the impact of noise on physiology and ptilochronology of non-breeding male domesticated quail birds. METHODOLOGY: During 60-days long trial, male quail birds, aged 5-weeks, weighing (c.100gm) were used. Out of 72 experimental birds, 18 birds were assigned to the Control Group (G1) while remaining 54 birds were divided equally into 3 treatment groups: Road Traffic noise (G2), Military activity noise (G3) and Human Activities noise (G4). Birds were housed in standard-sized separate cages (20 ×45 × 20 cm), every bird was kept apart in separate cage in open laboratory under maintained environmental conditions. Millet seeds and water were provided to all the experimental birds ad libitum. Noise originated from several sources of recorded high-intensity music (1125 Hz/ 90 dB), was administered for 5-6 hours per day. Observations were recorded in the morning and afternoon. The experiment was conducted during the non-breeding season from August to October in triplicate. Blood sampling was done after 60 days. RESULTS: According to the current study, noise stress significantly (p<0.05) increased the concentrations of creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bilirubin, uric acid, cholesterol, triglycerides, total protein, and glucose while a decline in the levels of albumin was seen in treatment birds of G3. While in terms of hematology, total white blood cells count (TWBC), total red blood cells count (TRBC), mean cell volume (MCV) & packed cell volume (PCV) concentrations were raised in blood of treatment birds of G3. In terms of hormones, noise stress significantly (p<0.05) increased the serum concentrations of Corticosterone in G3 while a significant (p<0.05) decline was observed in the concentrations of luteinizing hormone (LH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in the same group. Moreover, fault bar formation in G3 was more prominent than others. CONCLUSION: Noise stress can significantly affect serology, hematology, hormonal physiology and ptilochronology in quail birds.

To find significant relationships between the topological characteristics of these networks and the characteristics of the associated sulfonamide drugs. We use quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) approaches. In order to model and forecast these correlations and provide insights into the structure-activity relationships that are essential for drug design and optimization, linear regression is a vital tool. A thorough framework for comprehending the molecular characteristics and behavior of sulfonamide drugs is provided by the combination of topological indices, graph theory and statistical models which advances the field of pharmaceutical research and development.

Weighted Mostar invariants of chemical compounds: An analysis of structural stability.

The concept of the weighted Mostar invariant is a mathematical tool used in chemical graph theory to study the stability of chemical compounds. Several recent studies have explored the weighted Mostar invariant of various chemical structures, including hydrocarbons, alcohols, and other organic compounds. One of the key advantages of the weighted Mostar invariant is that it can be easily computed for large and complex chemical structures, making it a valuable tool for studying the stability of a wide range of chemical compounds. This notion has been utilized to build novel approaches for forecasting chemical compound stability, such as machine learning algorithms. The focus of the paper is to demonstrate the weighted Mostar indices of three specific nanostructures: silicon dioxide (SIO2, poly-methyl methacrylate network (PMMA(s)), and melem chains (MC(h)). The authors seek to provide the findings of their investigation of these nanostructures using the weighted Mostar invariant.

Comprehensive Analysis of Salmonella Species Antibiogram and Evolving Patterns in Empirical Therapy: Insights From Tertiary Care Hospitals in Peshawar, Pakistan.

Background Typhoid fever presents a significant challenge in developing nations, exacerbated by the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains due to widespread prevalence and overuse of antibiotics. This study seeks to assess the antibiogram profiles of Salmonella species isolated from blood cultures of patients hospitalized at two prominent tertiary care hospitals in Peshawar, Pakistan: Khyber Teaching Hospital (KTH) and Hayatabad Medical Complex (HMC). By examining these profiles, the research aims to provide valuable insights into the evolving landscape of antibiotic resistance in the context of typhoid fever management. Materials and Methods This retrospective cross-sectional study utilized data gathered from two hospitals in Peshawar, KTH and HMC. Cases of enteric fever were identified based on positive blood cultures for Salmonella species. The study encompasses demographic information, seasonal prevalence, and antibiogram profiles of 3,137 cases that were presented between 2017 and 2023. Results Among the total 3,137 cases, males accounted for the majority, comprising 63% (2,044 cases). Particularly notable was the clustering of cases among children and adolescents aged one to 24 years. The incidence peaked during the months of summer and spring, from April to September. In terms of Salmonella Typhi isolates, considerable resistance was noted against first-line antibiotics such as amoxicillin/clavulanate (80.1%), co-trimoxazole/trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (66.6%), and chloramphenicol (86.9%), as well as against ceftriaxone (79.7%) and ciprofloxacin (51.6%). Conversely, certain antibiotics displayed higher sensitivity patterns, including meropenem (97.8%), doripenem (99.5%), imipenem (97.7%), ertapenem (96.5%), polymyxin B (99.4%), colistin (98.1%), and tigecycline (97.3%). Despite a limited sample size of 214 specimens, fosfomycin demonstrated a remarkable sensitivity of 93.4%. Sensitivities of amikacin and gentamicin were 90.7% and 81.5%, respectively. However, the sensitivity of azithromycin was concerning, standing at 66.5%. The antibiogram pattern for Salmonella exhibited significant and drastic changes. Conclusion In conclusion, this study sheds light on a higher prevalence of typhoid fever among males, with a notable seasonal peak observed during the summer and spring months. The age group most affected spans from one to 24 years. Salmonella isolates displayed significant resistance to conventional first-line antibiotics, alongside ciprofloxacin and third-generation cephalosporins. Azithromycin exhibited lower sensitivity compared to amikacin, gentamicin, and fosfomycin. The research advocates for the empirical use of amikacin, gentamicin, fosfomycin, and meropenem in the treatment of typhoid fever in Pakistan. Urgent measures, including regular Salmonella antibiogram surveillance, antibiotic stewardship, public health education, and Salmonella vaccination programs, are deemed crucial for primary disease prevention.

Interim safety and immunogenicity of COVID-19 omicron BA.1 variant-containing vaccine in children in the USA: an open-label non-randomised phase 3 trial.

BACKGROUND: Variant-containing mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 to broaden protection against SARS-CoV-2 variants are recommended based on findings in adults. We report interim safety and immunogenicity of an omicron BA.1 variant-containing (mRNA-1273.214) primary vaccination series and booster dose in paediatric populations. METHODS: This open-label, two-part, non-randomised phase 3 trial enrolled participants aged 6 months to 5 years at 24 US study sites. Eligible participants were generally healthy or had stable chronic conditions, without known SARS-CoV-2 infection in the previous 90 days. Individuals who were acutely ill or febrile 1 day before or at the screening visit or those who previously received other COVID-19 vaccines (except mRNA-1273 for part 2) were excluded. In part 1, SARS-CoV-2-vaccine-naive participants received two-dose mRNA-1273.214 (25 µg; omicron BA.1 and ancestral Wuhan-Hu-1 mRNA) primary series. In part 2, participants who previously completed the two-dose mRNA-1273 (25 µg) primary series in KidCOVE (NCT04796896) received a mRNA-1273.214 (10 µg) booster dose. Primary study outcomes were safety and reactogenicity of the mRNA-1273.214 primary series (part 1) or booster dose (part 2) as well as the inferred effectiveness of mRNA-1273.214 based on immune responses against ancestral SARS-CoV-2 (D614G) and omicron BA.1 variant at 28 days post-primary series (part 1) or post-booster dose (part 2). The safety set included participants who received at least one dose of the study vaccine; the immunogenicity set included those who provided immunogenicity samples. Interim safety and immunogenicity are summarised in this analysis as of the data cutoff date (Dec 5, 2022). This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05436834. FINDINGS: Between June 21, 2022, and Dec 5, 2022, 179 participants received one or more doses of mRNA-1273.214 primary series (part 1) and 539 received a mRNA-1273.214 booster dose (part 2). The safety profile within 28 days after either dose of the mRNA-1273.214 primary series and the booster dose was consistent with that of the mRNA-1273 primary series in this age group, with no new safety concerns or vaccine-related serious adverse events observed. At 28 days after primary series dose 2 and the booster dose, both mRNA-1273.214 primary series (day 57, including all participants with or without evidence of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection at baseline) and booster (day 29, including participants without evidence of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection at baseline) elicited responses that were superior against omicron-BA.1 (geometric mean ratio part 1: 25·4 [95% CI 20·1-32·1] and part 2: 12·5 [11·0-14·3]) and non-inferior against D614G (part 1: 0·8 [0·7-1·0] and part 2: 3·1 [2·8-3·5]), compared with neutralising antibody responses induced by the mRNA-1273 primary series (in a historical comparator group). INTERPRETATION: mRNA-1273.214 was immunogenic against BA.1 and D614G in children aged 6 months to 5 years, with a comparable safety profile to mRNA-1273, when given as a two-dose primary series or a booster dose. These results are aligned with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations for the use of variant-containing vaccines for continued protection against the emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2. FUNDING: Moderna.

From theory to practice: An integrated TTF-UTAUT study on electric vehicle adoption behavior.

In Industry 4.0, the adoption of new technology has played a major role in the transportation sector, especially in the electric vehicles (EVs) domain. Nevertheless, consumer attitudes towards EVs have been difficult to gauge but researchers have tried to solve this puzzle. The prior literature indicates that individual attitudes and technology factors are vital to understanding users' adoption of EVs. Thus, the main aim is to meticulously investigate the unexplored realm of EV adoption within nations traditionally reliant on oil, exemplified by Saudia Arabia. By integrating the "task technology fit" (TTF) model and the "unified theory of acceptance and usage of technology" (UTAUT), this research develops and empirically validates the framework. A cross-section survey approach is adopted to collect 273 valid questionnaires from customers through convincing sampling. The empirical findings confirm that the integration of TTF and UTAUT positively promotes users' adoption of EVs. Surprisingly, the direct effect of TTF on behavioral intentions is insignificant, but UTAUT constructs play a significant role in establishing a significant relationship. Moreover, the UTAUT social influence factor has no impact on the EVs adoption. This groundbreaking research offers a comprehensive and holistic methodology for unravelling the complexities of EV adoption, achieved through the harmonious integration of two well-regarded theoretical frameworks. The nascent of this research lies in the skilful blending of technological and behavioral factors in the transportation sector.

Chemical composition and antimicrobial study of Crossobamon orientalis body oil.

Geckos and their products have been used in Asian traditional medicine. Medicinal properties of desert-dwelling Gecko species, Crossobamon orientalis remain unexplored. In this study, natural bioactive macromolecules present in oil extracted from C. orientalis (COO) and their biological activities were evaluated. Chemical constitution of COO was explored by using gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Antioxidant, antiviral, and antibacterial activities of COO extracts were assessed using various assays, including DPPH free-radical-protocol, HET-CAM method, in ovo-antiviral technique, and disc-diffusion method. GC-MS study reported 40 different compounds in COO. n-hexane and methanol extracts of COO demonstrated highest DPPH radical inhibition, with values of 70 and 63.3%, respectively. Extracts of COO in solvents, namely 1-butanol, methanol, diethyl ether, and n-hexane significantly inhibited the proliferation of four pathogenic viruses. Maximum zone of inhibition was observed for Escherichia coli (13.65 ± 0.57 mm). These findings suggest that COO possesses potent antioxidant and antimicrobial properties against viral and bacterial strains, thanks to its biologically active components having no side effects. Further studies are essential to isolate and identify individual bioactive compounds present in COO and to investigate their potential as therapeutic agents.

What contributes more to BRI economic growth, renewable or non-renewable energy consumption: A third generation panel data analysis.

Given the increasing investment by Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) participants in the renewable energy industry, it is imperative to ascertain how much this investment contributes to economic growth. The objective of this study is to ascertain the extent to which renewable energy contributes to economic growth within the Belt and Road Initiative compared to non-renewable energy sources. Prior studies have yet to incorporate oil prices as a variable in the production function, among other output aspects. This study integrates the inclusion of real oil prices as a variable within the production function alongside capital, labor, renewable energy consumption, and non-renewable energy consumption. A cohort including 49 Belt and Road Initiative participants was formed, encompassing data from 1990 to 2019. The data has undergone an initial examination to assess cross-sectional dependence, slope heterogeneity, and structural break(s), and are verified. Hence, third-generation panel data analysis has been utilized. The continuously updated fully modified estimator and continuously updated biased corrected estimator provide evidence supporting the notion that renewable energy plays a substantial role in fostering economic growth within nations participating in the Belt and Road Initiative. Furthermore, this contribution is found to be more pronounced when compared to the impact of non-renewable energy sources. The study's findings inform policy recommendations at both the BRI and national level.

Antibiotic Stewardship: A Handshaking Strategy Among Physicians and Pharmacists to Improve therapeutic Outcomes in Hematology-Oncology.

Background: Infections are highly susceptible in patients with hematological malignancies due to immune suppression, immunosuppressive therapies and disease progression. Rational use of antibiotics following Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) guidelines in early detection and response to infection is significant to improve patient care. Objectives: The present study was conducted to determine the impact of clinical pharmacists' interventions (PIs) on antibiotics usage in hematology-oncology set up in Karachi, Pakistan. Methodology: An observational prospective study was conducted for a period of 4 months in a well-known 75-bed teaching hospital, specializing in bone marrow transplantation in Karachi, Pakistan without a structured Antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs).

Dose modifications or interval changes accounted for the major interventions (n = 190, 21.6%). The majority of all recommendations were related to antipseudomonal ß-lactams, aminoglycosides, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim and vancomycin. Overall, 94.3% (n = 876) of the 928 PIs were accepted. Conclusion: The PIs and the high physician acceptance rate may be useful for improving the safe use of antibiotics, lowering their toxicity, lowering the need for special-vigilance medications and potentially improving patient care.

A novel concept and design for highly efficient photoelectrocatalytic materials with high performance, stability, and charge transport properties: development of an innovative next-generation green technology.

In semiconductors, generating charges via catalysis is a highly challenging task and characteristic of heterojunction photoanodes. A dithiophene-4,8-dione spin-coated film layer has a positive effect on the holes (positive charge carriers) for a long time in BHJ films in the solid state of materials. The photoexcited holes created in the BHJ film can persist for long periods of time, which is beneficial for catalytic reactions. In this study, a photoanode is electrically coupled to a hydrogen gas-evolving platinum cathode. When the photoanode is electrically coupled to a H2 gas evolving Pt cathode, curiously long-lived hole polaron states are observed on the timescale of seconds under operational conditions. These long-lived holes play a crucial role in enhancing the hydrogen peroxide oxidation performance of the film overlayer spin-coated onto the photoanode. The spin-coated film overlayer on the photoanode achieves the best oxidation performance for hydrogen peroxide of approximately 6.5 mA cm-2 at 1.23 VRHE without the need of a catalyst. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the overlayer in improving the catalytic performance of the photoanode with a better efficiency of 17.5% when using 851 nm excitation. This indicates that a relatively high percentage of incident photons at that specific wavelength is converted into photocurrent by the photoanode. This approach can lead to more efficient oxidation catalysis as demonstrated in the case of hydrogen peroxide oxidation.
