Introduction: Hereditary haemochromatosis (HH) is the most common genetic condition among populations of northern European ancestry, but it does not have a specific International Classification of Diseases 10th revision (ICD-10) diagnosis code. HH is commonly assigned the ICD-10 code E83.1 defined as 'disorders of iron metabolism'.

Article Synopsis
  • Hereditary haemochromatosis (HH) is a common genetic disorder in Northern Europeans, caused by mutations that lead to excessive iron absorption in the body, affecting various organs over time.
  • Not everyone with the C282Y mutation develops HH, making early diagnosis crucial; however, most individuals may not show symptoms initially.
  • Treatment typically involves venesection to reduce iron levels, which can alleviate symptoms and improve liver health, while those without mutations but showing liver iron overload may require further genetic testing.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Currently, it poses a significant threat to the healthcare system due to the emerging resistance and toxicity of available drug candidates in clinical practice, thus generating an urgent need for the development of new potent and safer anti-breast cancer drug candidates. Coumarin (chromone-2-one) is an elite ring system widely distributed among natural products and possesses a broad range of pharmacological properties.

Introduction: There are limited studies comparing the safety and effectiveness of Radiologically Assisted Gastrostomies (RAGs) against Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomies (PEGs). The Sheffield Gastrostomy Score (SGS) can be used to help predict 30-day mortality, more information is needed on its validity in RAGs. Our aim is to compare mortality between RAGs (Radiologically Inserted Gastrostomies (RIGs) and Per-oral Image Guided Gastrostomies (PIGs)) with PEGs and validate the SGS.

Surface flood (SF) method is used to irrigate cotton in India, which results in huge wastage of water besides leaching of nutrients. This necessitates the adoption of efficient management strategies to save scarce water without compromising the yield. Therefore, a 2-year field investigation was conducted under two climatic regimes (Faridkot and Abohar) to study the effect of sub-surface drip fertigation (SSDF) on seed cotton yield (SCY), water productivity, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), and economic parameters in comparison with SF and surface drip fertigation (SDF).
