Article Abstract
Background: Variations can occur in the branching pattern of the aortic arch (AA) because of its complex embryological development. These variations are quite common and typically asymptomatic but can sometimes cause dyspnea, dysphagia, and intermittent claudication, as well as confusion in the interpretation of radiological scans.
Methods: In the present study, we analyzed the types and incidence of AA variations in 105 patients after careful computed tomographic angiographic (CTA) imaging.
Results: In the present study, we found that out of the 20 patients, three with variations in the branching pattern of the AA had experienced dyspnea (15%). The left common carotid artery (CCA) originated from the brachiocephalic trunk (BCT) in eight out of 20 patients (40%). The left vertebral artery (VA) originated from the AA in five (25%) patients. The thyroid ima artery (TIA) originated from the BCT in two participants (10%). The left CCA and BCT originated from the AA as a single trunk in two patients (10%). The left VA originated from the AA and the right VA from the BCT in one patient (5%). The BCT originated as the left branch from the AA in one patient (5%). The right and left CCA originated as a single trunk from the AA in one patient (5%).
Conclusion: The present prospective study is the first conducted in the Himalayan belt of North India. The findings highlight the importance of spreading awareness about variations in the branching pattern of the AA. This awareness is useful when executing endovascular procedures and planning cardiothoracic surgeries.

α-Amylase is widely used in various industries. However, current industrial production of α-amylase does not meet the demand, necessitating further enzyme optimization to enhance enzymatic activity. Traditional molecular docking studies have used amylose as a substrate, neglecting the dominant amylopectin structure in natural starch.

Importance: Higher intellectual abilities have been associated with lower mortality risk in several longitudinal cohort studies. However, these studies did not fully account for early life contextual factors or test whether the beneficial associations between higher neurocognitive functioning and mortality extend to children exposed to early adversity.
Objective: To explore how the associations of child neurocognition with mortality changed according to the patterns of adversity children experienced.

Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is an early-onset cancer syndrome caused by pathogenic germline TP53 variants. Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with LFS may have challenges navigating new romantic partnerships given the significant effects of LFS on multiple life domains that also affect partners (e.g.

State Key Laboratory of High Performance Ceramics and Superfine Microstructure, Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai, 200050, China.
Quasi-1D van der Waals materials have emerged as promising candidates for flexible electronic and thermoelectric applications due to their intrinsic anisotropy, narrow band gaps, and mechanical flexibility. Herein, MXSe (M = Nb, Ta, X = Pd, Pt) nanowires are studied to understand the bonding-directed growth mechanism. Bond valence sums and binding energy analyses reveal that weak X2-Se2 interactions perpendicular to the c-axis facilitate anisotropic growth.

Aim To identify non-pharmacological factors associated with ineffective blood pressure (BP) control among individuals with arterial hypertension (AH) in a Siberian urban population sample.Material and methods A considerable proportion of individuals with AH does not achieve BP goals. BP control is influenced by a number of non-drug determinants, including non-modifiable and multiple modifiable factors.
