AbstractThe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) describes a heterogenous population of patients with acute severe respiratory failure. However, contemporary advances have begun to identify distinct sub‐phenotypes that exist within its broader envelope. These sub‐phenotypes have varied outcomes and respond differently to several previously studied interventions. A more precise understanding of their pathobiology and an ability to prospectively identify them, may allow for the development of precision therapies in ARDS. Historically, animal models have played a key role in translational research, although few studies have so far assessed either the ability of animal models to replicate these sub‐phenotypes or investigated the presence of sub‐phenotypes within animal models. Here, in three ovine models of ARDS, using combinations of oleic acid and intravenous, or intratracheal lipopolysaccharide, we investigated the presence of sub‐phenotypes which qualitatively resemble those found in clinical cohorts. Principal Component Analysis and partitional clustering identified two clusters, differentiated by markers of shock, inflammation, and lung injury. This study provides a first exploration of ARDS phenotypes in preclinical models and suggests a methodology for investigating this phenomenon in future studies.
Sulfate homeostasis in Atlantic salmon is associated with differential regulation of salmonid‐specific paralogs in gill and kidney

Published: October 2021

AbstractSulfate () regulation is challenging for euryhaline species as they deal with large fluctuations of during migratory transitions between freshwater (FW) and seawater (SW), while maintaining a stable plasma concentration. Here, we investigated the regulation and potential role of sulfate transporters in Atlantic salmon during the preparative switch from uptake to secretion. A preparatory increase in kidney and gill sodium/potassium ATPase (Nka) enzyme activity during smolt development indicate preparative osmoregulatory changes. In contrast to gill Nka activity a transient decrease in kidney Nka after direct SW exposure was observed and may be a result of reduced glomerular filtration rates and tubular flow through the kidney. In silico analyses revealed that Atlantic salmon genome comprises a single slc13a1 gene and additional salmonid‐specific duplications of slc26a1 and slc26a6a, leading to new paralogs, namely the slc26a1a and ‐b, and slc26a6a1 and ‐a2. A kidney‐specific increase in slc26a6a1 and slc26a1a during smoltification and SW transfer, suggests an important role of these sulfate transporters in the regulatory shift from absorption to secretion in the kidney. Plasma in FW smolts was 0.70 mM, followed by a transient increase to 1.14 ± 0.33 mM 2 days post‐SW transfer, further decreasing to 0.69 ± 0.041 mM after 1 month in SW. Our findings support the vital role of the kidney in excretion through the upregulated slc26a6a1, the most likely secretory transport candidate in fish, which together with the slc26a1a transporter likely removes excess , and ultimately enable the regulation of normal plasma levels in SW.
How to derive allomorphy: a case study from Czech
Authors: Ziková Markéta , Faltýnková Michaela 
Published: October 2021

AbstractThe paper discusses a three-way allomorphic pattern of neuter-gender stems in Czech. We argue that there are two surface alternations involved in the three-stem pattern, i.e.a-eandt-zero, and that the two alternations are driven by two distinct mechanisms, i.e. suppletion and regular phonological computation respectively. We postulate two suppletive stem-building suffixes that are lexically connected via the Nanosyntactic tool of pointers. We argue that the defaulta-initial suffix spells out the neuter gender and its suppletivee-initial variant is a portmanteau morpheme of the (neuter) gender and (singular) number. We further propose that the suppletive suffix is stored with a floating consonant that does not surface word-finally due to regular phonological computation.
Modification of steel surface layer by electroslag surfacing using compounds with high melting point

Published: October 2021

The authors have studied the effect of alloying on the structure, microhardness and abrasive wear resistance of electroslag surfacing layers on low-alloy structural steel 09G2S. For modification, mixtures of Si3 N4   +  FeSi2   +  Si powders obtained in the Department of Structural Macrokinetics of  the Tomsk Scientific Centre SB RAS by the method of SHS synthesis, as well as powder compositions based on TiC, were used. A molten electrode was made of low-alloy steel St3, on which modifying compositions Si3 N4   +  FeSi2   +  Si were poured out, in the first case, and modifying compositions Si3 N4   +  FeSi2   +  Si, located below, in the second case. Metallography and X-ray microanalysis methods were used to determine the structure and to  analyze the composition of the deposited layers, heat-affected zone (HAZ) and the base metal, on the basis of which assumptions were made about the nature of the formation of coating properties – hardness and wear resistance. It is shown that the main influence on the wear resistance is exerted by structure of the surfacing metal. There is a positive effect of modifying coatings by alloying materials with the alloys Si3 N4   +  FeSi2   +  Si  +  St3 and TiC  +  St3. In the molten layer, many new crystallization centers are released in the form of dispersed TiC particles. Dispersed TiC particles with a  high melting point (3180  °C) are the first to fall out of the melt and not only serve as multiple crystallization centers, but also prevent the growth of austenitic grains, which ensures the formation of dispersed structure. The coatings contain TiC carbide particles, as well as inclusions of other phases. At the same time, an increase in hardness of the deposited layer containing titanium carbide inclusions is observed in direction of the boundary with the base. Wear resistance of the layer increases when a TiC-based coating is formed. The obtained data can be used to create deposited layers on the metal surface with high resistance against abrasive wear.
Expanding the phenotype of GNAO1 related movement disorders: Two cases with mild phenotypes.
Authors: Abu Libdeh Amal , Chang Albert 
Published: October 2021

Background: Pathogenic variants in the GNAO1 gene have been previously linked to severe epileptic encephalopathy, severe progressive movement disorders, developmental delay, and intellectual disability.
Method: report of 2 cases.
Results: we present 2 unrelated girls, an 18-year-old, and a 4.5-year-old, with mild phenotypes. While each was noted early on to have hypotonia, failure to thrive, and developmental delay, they both have made significant progress with various therapeutic interventions. Neither have had any developmental regression, seizures or choreoathetosis.
Conclusion: these 2 cases further expand the phenotype spectrum of GNAO1 mutations, which is important for counseling and to help guide management plans.

Published: October 2021

The burden of obesity and its related disorders is growing to an epidemic form, particularly among young adults, both in the developing and developed countries. Pursuing medical education is considered stressful throughout the course of the training. Stress leading to disordered eating habits along with lack of physical activity tend to make medical students more prone to obesity related disorders. The present study was carried out to find out the prevalence of overweight and obesity and its association with stress among medical undergraduates.This cross-sectional study was conducted at Narayana Medical College, Nellore, Andhra Pradesh. After obtaining approval from the Institutional ethics committee, both male and female students were invited to participate. Data on age, gender, type of diet, physical activity, consumption of junk food and other habits were collected. Cohen’s perceived stress score questionnaire was used to quantify the level of stress. Among 170 students, about 18.2% (n=31) of students were obese and 8.2% (n=14) were overweight. The mean stress score was 17.2 (± 4.72) and about 78% (n=133) reported to have stress with scores &#62; 13. There was a significant association between BMI and consumption of junk food and a mild positive correlation existed between BMI and perceived stress score index(PSSI) among first year medical undergraduates.Obesity and stress remain a common problem among medical undergraduates. The causality can be established with more robust study designs. Encouraging proper eating habits combined with daily physical activity, yoga and body weight management programs might help curbing the problem.

This study was conducted on covid 19 patients who admitted in various wards in tertiary care centre (Government general hospital, Kakinada) E.G, Dt, Andhra Pradesh, from the 1st November 2020 to 15th January 2021 before Immunization. And divided in to two groups male and female cases. This study involves estimation of Biochemical profile in all the admitted patients to predict the severity of the covid 19 disease at the time of admission in to the Hospital. To analyse and estimate the serum inflammatory markers like D dimer, Ferritin, C-Reactive Protein, LFT and RFT in Covid 19 patients and evaluate the relationship of inflammatory marker se D-Dimer with other inflammatory markers like Ferritin, CRP and biochemical markers like Creatinine and liver enzymes (OT, PT). We retrospectively analysed the Clinical features and lab parameters of 393 cases of Covid-19 admitted to tertiary care hospital GGH Kakinada. Plasma d dimer, serum CRP and ferritin were significantly raised in total covid 19 patients and more increased in males when compared with females. Biochemical parameters like creatinine and liver enzymes also elevated in total cases and more increased in males as compared with females suggest organ dysfunction and systemic inflammation. The most typical finding in patients with COVID-19 coagulopathy is an increased D dimer concentration, and the relationship between D-dimer levels and the other markers of inflammation like Ferritin, CRP in COVID-19 shows disease progression. We conclude that biochemical monitoring of Covid-19 patients helps in identifying critically ill patients even earlier, aiming to reduce mortality and improve the recovery rate.
Serum magnesium and uric acid levels in pre-diabetic patients – A case control study
Authors: Ravichandran Jeevakumar 
Published: October 2021

Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder affecting many organs and the leading cause of morbidity and mortality across the world because the disease is insidious. The diagnosis often is delayed and may affect both larger and smaller blood vessels. Prediabetes is a state of a person before the diagnosis of diabetes which is associated with many diabetic complications. The purpose of this study is to find the association of serum magnesium and uric acid levels in prediabetes. It is a case control study where subjects with prediabetes were considered as cases and subjects with normal glucose levels as controls. The subject’s serum glucose levels, serum zinc levels and serum magnesium levels of both the groups was measured and analyzed. The mean of the Serum Magnesium level in cases was 1.42 ± 0.54 mg/dl and that of controls is 1.93 ± 0.44 mg/dl and the mean of the Serum Uric acid levels in cases among males and females are 7 ± 1.95 mg/dl and 6.63 ± 1.71 mg/dl respectively and that of controls is 5.02 ± 0.98 mg/dl and 4.31 ± 0.87 mg/dl which were statistically significant. The results obtained are in such a way that there is a decreased magnesium and increased uric acid levels in prediabetes. Hypomagnesemia might be due to defective insulin receptor phosphorylation, decreased glucokinase activity and closing of potassium channels causing insulin resistance or impaired insulin secretion or both. Hyperuricemia would be due to tubular hypertrophy, oxidative stress and inflammation. Finding this relation will help us to prevent progression of prediabetes to diabetes by suitable diet, exercise and life style modifications.
A clinical study of contrast sensitivity and visual acuity in patients following retinal photocoagulation for diabetic retinopathy

Published: October 2021

This study is aimed to assess the effect of retinal photocoagulation on contrast sensitivity and visual acuity.In this prospective observational study,patients with diabetic retinopathy in either one or both eyes requiring retinal photocoagulation were included in the study. Eyes which were subjected to treatment for diabetic retinopathy were divided into 3 groups. Group 1 included eye which were subjected to pan retinal photocoagulation (PRP) alone, Group 2 included eyes which were subjected to PRP and macular laser (ML) and Group 3 included eyes which were subjected to ML alone. Assessment of visual acuity and contrast sensitivity were done before and three months post retinal photocoagulation.Descriptive statistics were used and where required. paired t test, One- way, ANOVA, Post HOC tests, Tukey HSD tests were used. The sample size was calculated to be 64 eyes. Total of 64 eyes of 37 patients, underwent retinal photocoagulation for diabetic retinopathy. Out of the 37 patients, only 16 patients (29 eyes) came for follow up at the end of 3 months of laser photocoagulation. Number of eyes requiring PRP was more when compared to PRP with ML and ML alone. Pre-laser and post-laser visual acuity following PRP, remained unchanged. Improvement in visual acuity was seen in eyes that underwent ML alone. There was worsening of visual acuity in eyes that underwent combination of PRP and ML. However, p value was not significant. Pre-laser and post-laser contrast sensitivity, improved in eyes that underwent only PRP and macular laser alone. There was a reduction in CS when both forms of treatment were combined, though p value was not significant Eyes which underwent PRP alone, showed improvement in contrast sensitivity without any change in visual acuity. While reduction in visual acuity and contrast sensitivity was observed in eyes which underwent combination treatment (PRP and ML), there was improvement in visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in eyes which underwent macular laser alone. Contrast sensitivity is necessary component of visual function. Abnormal contrast sensitivity can affect day to day activities. Hence it is important to counsel patients about the possibility of contrast sensitivity being affected to some extent following laser treatment for diabetic retinopathy.

Oral sub mucous fibrosis (OSF) is commonly seen in the Indian subcontinent affecting individuals of all age groups. It is a potentially malignant disorder caused almost exclusively by the use of smokeless form of tobacco products. The malignant transformation rates vary from 3 to 19%. The standard of care (SOC) in managing OSF includes habit cessation, intralesional steroid and hyaluronidase injections, and mouth opening exercises. To evaluate the efficacy of rebamipide to reduce the oral burning sensation associated with OSMF as compared to coventional Betamethasone intralesional injection.After providing information about the study and obtaining consent, these individuals were divided into two groups of 15 each using random sampling method. Patients in the rebamipide group (group I) were prescribed 100 mg tablets of rebamipide thrice a day for 21 days. The other 15 patients (group II) were given SOC, intralesional betamethasone injection 4 mg/mL once a week for 4 weeks. Visual analog scale (VAS) with 11 points (0–10) was used to assess burning sensation in the first visit, and change in the burning sensation was assessed after every 7th day on VAS in both the groups.: The improvement in the VAS score in each visit was significant (p &#60; 0.05) in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th visit. The VAS score between the 4th and 5th visit failed to reach a statistically significant level (p &#62; 0.05). The VAS score was significantly different between the rebamipide and betamethasone group (p &#62; 0.05) in third & fourth visit. Our results showed that rebamipide was equally efficacious if not better than the betamethasone intralesional injections.
