Iatrogenic Intussusception Due to Gossypiboma Presenting as Acute Intestinal Obstruction to a Tertiary Care Emergency Department.

Intussusception, typically a pediatric condition, is rare in adults and poses a diagnostic challenge in emergency settings due to its varied presentations. We present a case of a 48-year-old female with a history of recurrent abdominal pain after cholecystectomy (done two years back), who presented with an acute onset of colicky abdominal pain, vomiting, and obstipation. Initial evaluation revealed signs of intestinal obstruction and metabolic acidosis.

Household dietary gatekeepers' perceptions of home cooking and its associated factors: A qualitative inquiry from urban India.

The high consumption of calorie-dense, nutrient-poor meals from out of home sources has been identified as a potential risk factor for the growing burden of obesity and diet-related chronic degenerative diseases among urban Indians. Consumption of home cooked meals is linked with positive dietary and health outcomes. However, little is known about the views of Indians regarding home cooking.

What influences Indian primary school children's food behaviors? - Perceptions of children, mothers and teachers.

Background: Development of healthy food behaviors in childhood is significant for optimum growth and development of children as well as future health. However, many Indian children display unhealthy dietary habits including poor intakes of fruits and vegetables and excessive consumption of calorie-dense, nutrient-poor foods and sugar-sweetened beverages. Therefore, the factors that influence their daily diet need to be explored for developing future interventions and policies.

Emerging application of nanotechnology for mankind.

Unlabelled: Nanotechnology has proven to be the greatest multidisciplinary field in the current years with potential applications in agriculture, pollution remediation, environmental sustainability, as well as most recently in pharmaceutical industries. As a result of its physical, chemical, and biological productivity, resistance, and matricular organization at a larger scale, the potential of nanocomposites revealed different sorts of assembling structures via testing. Biosensors are known some specifically promising inventions whereas carbon nanotube, magnetic nanoparticles (NPs), quantum dots, and gold NPs showed capability to repair damaged cells, molecular docking, drug-delivery, and nano-remediation of toxic elements.

Effects of circadian restricted feeding on parameters of metabolic syndrome among healthy subjects.

Experimental studies indicate that energy homeostasis to the circadian clock at the behavioral, physiological, and molecular levels, emphasize that timing of food intake may play a significant role in the development of obesity and central obesity. Therefore, resetting the circadian clock by circadian energy restriction via food intake in the morning or evening, may be used as a new approach for prevention of obesity, metabolic syndrome and related diseases. After ethical clearance and written, informed consent, free living subjects were included if they volunteered to take most of the total daily meals (approximately 2000 Kcal.

Effect of miconazole nitrate on immunological response and its preventive efficacy in Labeo rohita fingerlings against oomycetes Saprolegnia parasitica.

This study evaluated the effect of sublethal doses of antifungal drug miconazole nitrate (MCZ) on immunological responses and its role as a prophylactic drug against S. parasitica in Labeo rohita fingerlings. Fish were fed with sublethal doses of MCZ, that is, T1-6.

PA2 Tyrosinase Covalently Immobilized on a Novel Eco-Friendly Bio-Composite of Chitosan-Gelatin and Its Evaluation for L-DOPA Production.

Tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.

Impact of bronchoalveolar lavage multiplex polymerase chain reaction on microbiological yield and therapeutic decisions in severe pneumonia in intensive care unit.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the impact of adding bronchoalveolar lavage multiplex polymerase chain reaction (M-PCR) to conventional cultures (CC) on microbiological yield and therapeutic decisions in adult intensive care unit patients with pneumonia and severe sepsis or septic shock.

Material And Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, bronchoalveolar lavage cultures were taken for control (58 patients, 58 admissions) and study arms (57 patients, 58 admissions). Bronchoalveolar lavage M-PCR was sent simultaneously for the latter.

Phase transitions of AlFeO3 and GaFeO3 from the chiral orthorhombic (Pna2(1)) structure to the rhombohedral (R3c) structure.

AlFeO(3) and GaFeO(3), which crystallize in a chiral orthorhombic (Pna2(1)) structure, transform to a rhombohedral (R3c) structure when subjected to ball-milling. There is a distinct difference between the transformations of AlFeO(3) and GaFeO(3). AlFeO(3) first transforms to an orthorhombic P2(1)2(1)2(1) structure followed by its transformation to the R3c structure, while GaFeO(3) goes directly to the R3c structure.

Effect of narcotic pretreatment on pain after rocuronium injection: a randomized, double-blind controlled comparison with lidocaine.

Various strategies have been studied to reduce the discomfort of rocuronium pain. These studies have shown fentanyl and lidocaine to be effective in reducing the incidence of pain on rocuronium injection. This prospective, randomized, and double-blind study was carried out on 80 neurosurgical patients for whom pain on rocuronium injection was assessed after pretreatment with lidocaine, fentanyl, sufentanil, or normal saline.
