Cross-cultural adaptation and reliability of patient asthma knowledge questionnaire in the regional Indian language Marathi: a cross-sectional study.

Introduction: patient education is the cornerstone of the clinical management of bronchial asthma. The patient asthma knowledge questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool to assess the disease specific knowledge in the patients with bronchial asthma. To the best of our knowledge and literature search, there is no tool available in Marathi language to assess the knowledge of bronchial asthma in patients.

Prediction of Adverse Maternal Outcomes in Preeclampsia Using the FullPIERS (Preeclampsia Integrated Estimate of Risk) Model in a Tertiary Care Hospital of Eastern India.

Introduction: Preeclampsia, characterized by hypertensive disorders and systemic inflammatory response, remains a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality globally. Effective risk assessment tools are crucial for predicting adverse maternal outcomes.

Objective: This study evaluates the performance of the fullPIERS (Preeclampsia Integrated Estimate of Risk) model in predicting adverse maternal outcomes within 24 hours of admission for preeclampsia.

Longitudinal Single-Cell Imaging of Engineered Strains with Stimulated Raman Scattering to Characterize Heterogeneity in Fatty Acid Production.

Understanding metabolic heterogeneity is critical for optimizing microbial production of valuable chemicals, but requires tools that can quantify metabolites at the single-cell level over time. Here, longitudinal hyperspectral stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) chemical imaging is developed to directly visualize free fatty acids in engineered Escherichia coli over many cell cycles. Compositional analysis is also developed to estimate the chain length and unsaturation of the fatty acids in living cells.

Topography of hippocampal connectivity with sensorimotor cortex revealed by optimizing smoothing kernel and voxel size.

Studies of the hippocampus use smaller voxel sizes and smoothing kernels than cortical activation studies, typically using a multivoxel seed with specified radius for connectivity analysis. This study identified optimal processing parameters for evaluating hippocampal connectivity with sensorimotor cortex (SMC), comparing effectiveness by varying parameters during both activation and connectivity analysis. Using both 3mm and 4mm isovoxels, smoothing kernels of 0-10mm were evaluated on the amplitude and extent of motor activation and hippocampal connectivity with SMC.
