Bog bacterial community: data from north-western Russia
Authors: Zubov Ivan , Shpanov Dmitrij , Ponomareva Tamara , Aksenov Andrey 
Published: August 2024

Wetlands occupy up to 35% of the boreal biome in Russia, according to various estimates. Boreal bogs are global carbon sinks, accounting for more than 65% of the soil carbon stored in the wetland ecosystems of the world. The decomposition of plant residues is one of the most important components of the carbon cycle in wetland systems, while the violation of their fragile balance due to climate change increases the rate of mineralisation of organic matter and releases large amounts of carbon to the atmosphere. The biochemical processes occurring in a peat deposit determine the intensity of the destruction of organic matter and gas exchange. However, the microbial communities of the boreal ombrotrophic bogs, regulating those processes, are poorly studied.
Hence, a study of the prokaryote communities of the peat deposits of the southern White Sea coastal ombrotrophic bogs (mostly spread in north-western Russia) was carried out. The taxonomic composition of archaea and bacteria sampled from the deposit’s depth of 0–310 cm was studied using high-throughput sequencing of V4 sites of 16S rRNA gene by Illumina technology. As a result, 105 species belonging to 19 phylums were identified. The dominant specific phyla were Pseudomonadota, Acidobacteriota and Verrucomicrobiota, the non-specific phylum being Desulfobacterota. Various groups of methanogenic, methylotrophic and nitrogen-fixing microorganisms were identified. Shannon's biodiversity ranged from 3.5 to 4.6 and ChaO1 - from 232 to 351, decreasing within the depth.

Authors: Pang Chunyi , Tang Shangjing , Yu Guohua , Zhou Jia-Jun 
Published: August 2024

Kurixalus lenquanensis Yu, Wang, Hou, Rao and Yang, 2017 was originally described, based on 14 adult male specimens from Lengquan Village, Mengzi, Yunnan, China. So far, this species is known only from south-eastern Yunnan and information on females of this species is not available. During the field surveys in 2023, two Kurixalus specimens (one female and one male) were collected from central eastern Yunnan (Shilin, Kunming, Yunnan, China). These two specimens were confirmed to be K. lenquanensis by molecular phylogenetic analyses, based on 16S rRNA sequences.
A female specimen of K. lenquanensis is described for the first time and morphological variation amongst populations of this species is provided. The diagnosis and distribution of this species are updated.

Authors: Kaur Amandeep , Kalyani C. Vasantha , Kumari Kusum 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Background:
Breast milk is an ideal food for neonates, which is also beneficial for mothers. Nowadays, modern mothers choose not to breastfeed their babies. The World Health Organization also recommends continuous breastfeeding of babies for up to 2 years. The present study focuses on assessing the perception and practice of mothers for exclusive breastfeeding in the sub-Himalayan region of India.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted among postnatal mothers who were attending pediatric outpatient departments (OPDs) and immunization clinics at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, India. Interview schedules were conducted to assess knowledge and skills, and data related to breastfeeding were collected from 210 mothers. Purposive sampling techniques were used to select each participant.

Results:
The mean age of mothers was 26.8 years, 56% had previous experience of breastfeeding, 76% had a cesarean delivery, and 70% had started breastfeeding within 1 h. More than half (53%) of the mothers had inadequate knowledge of breastfeeding. On the Iowa Scale, only 8% of mothers reported a very positive attitude toward breastfeeding. On the Bristol scale, 81% of mothers reported that they were following good breastfeeding practices.

Conclusions:
The study concludes that sub-Himalayan mothers have inadequate knowledge of breastfeeding, but their practices are still suboptimal. We recommend more public health awareness programs to promote breastfeeding in this region.

Abstract
Patient privacy and confidentiality are crucial components in healthcare that help to uphold patients’ rights and dignity. To protect these, healthcare workers have to frequently strike a balance between their moral and legal responsibilities. With this in mind, this review article seeks to give an overview of patient privacy and confidentiality. The data for this article comes from prior research, surveys, and established theories. The salient findings were as follows: Patients and healthcare providers alike may suffer grave consequences from violations by personnel. Reluctance to seek medical attention could result from patients losing faith in the healthcare system. If medical personnel breach patient confidentiality, they could be subject to ethical and legal repercussions. Healthcare practitioners must uphold legal obligations and make sure they adhere to privacy policies and procedures in order to safeguard patient information. In compliance with data protection law, nurses and other healthcare professionals are advised to securely store and safeguard patient records to prevent loss, theft, and unauthorized disclosure. We also advise them to use only the patient information they collect for the purposes for which it was provided or where sharing is mandated by law. In summary, upholding privacy and confidentiality in the healthcare industry requires a careful balancing act between moral and legal requirements.

Authors: Paul Ekta , Ghosal Madhurima , Billaha Aziz , Halder Pankaj 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Gastric perforation in neonates is a rare and serious issue. The condition usually occurs within the first week of life. Due to the high fatality rate, early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are required. Here, we describe two newborns who underwent emergency laparotomies for gastric perforation at the ages of 5 and 10 days, respectively. The first case did have sepsis during the recovery time, but it was successfully managed. The second neonate had stature disruption and biliary peritonitis. She eventually developed multi-organ failure syndrome and succumbed on the fourth day after the second laparotomy.
Lymph Node Metastasis and Its Diagnostic Implications Among Women Possessing Ductal Carcinoma of the Breast
Authors: Dayal Seema 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Background:
Lymph node metastasis is a significant prognostic marker in breast cancer treatment and it is associated with poor prognosis. Periodic acid Schiff’s reagent positive complex in metastatic lymph nodes is an indicator of poor prognosis. The metastatic lymph node variables were evaluated including periodic acid–Schiff (PAS) stain and its significance in prognosis and their association was analyzed concerning clinical and microscopic parameters.

Objective:
The objective of this study is to determine the lymph node metastasis variables, including its size, number of lymph nodes involved, and other associated pathologies. The clinical and microscopic parameters, including immunohistochemistry (IHC) of the tumor, were studied, and their association with lymph nodes was analyzed.

Materials and Methods:
In this study, the patients who were diagnosed with ductal carcinoma breast along with lymph node metastasis from 2008 to 2022 were included. The metastatic lymph node size, number, and other associated pathologies were evaluated and PAS stain where ever possible applied, and the results were compared concerning patient age, menopause status, tumor size, grade, invasion, necrosis, calcification, and prognosis (Nottingham prognostic index). IHC for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 /neu status along with vimentin and p53 was also applied and compared.

Results:
The results revealed that the maximum number of patients below 50 years of age was 54 (58.6%), and belonging to the premenopausal group was 50 (54.3%). The common tumor size among these patients was 5 cm, and below 5 cm was 64 (69.5%). The frequent histological grade was grade II 67 (72.8%), similarly, the favorable prognosis was moderate 55 (59.7%). The largest size of lymph nodes retrieved was 4 cm, the maximum number of lymph nodes involved was 17/19, and >3 metastatic lymph nodes were in 54.34% of cases. The other pathologies, which were found in lymph nodes included granulomatous lesion 2 (2.17%), microfilaria 2 (2.17%), and calcification 4 (4.34%). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) results in tumors having positive nodes were ER (16.30%), PR (11.95%), HER2/neu (21.73%), vimentin (16.30%), and p53 (6.52%). On PAS staining, loops and arches were frequently appreciated.

Conclusion:
This study concludes that metastatic lymph node is a potential predictor of poor prognosis. It synchronizes with other poor prognostic markers, such as younger age, larger tumor size, grade, invasion, and IHC markers, such as HER2/neu, vimentin, and p53. Other than that, PAS being a cheap and easily available stain, it must applied in metastatic lymph nodes for the determination of prognosis. These factors may be used for better management of breast cancer patients.

Authors: Malhotra Priyanka , Kataria Neetu , Mandal Anindita , Kalyani Vasantha C. , Kumari Kusum 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Taking into account the availability of numerous clinical trials on the effects of Aloe vera gel on the prevention and healing of skin wounds, as well as its popularity among people and widespread use in the cosmetic industry, the current study compares the healing efficacy of Aloe vera gel vs. 1% silver sulfadiazine (SSD) in burn patients. We searched PubMed, Medline, Embase, and ClinicalKey database from January 1, 1990, to January 1, 2023 period. Our study included a patient who were having first- and second-degree burns. The intervention group received Aloe vera gel, while the control group received 1% SSD. The outcome variables assessed were tissue healing. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs were included to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of the intervention effects. Studies had to be available in English and published in full text to be eligible for inclusion. Initially, the search strategy’s flow diagram, which reported, screened, excluded, and eventually included studies, was created using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis 2020 principles. Using the population, intervention, control, and outcome format (PubMed-65, Embase-52, and ClinicalKey-131), 248 studies were included, while 220 studies were eliminated. As a result, 18 full-text RCTs were evaluated, and 7 studies that satisfied all of the meta-analysis’s eligibility requirements were eventually qualified. In comparison to the control group, the mean healing (in days) for first- and second-degree burn wounds was significantly lower in the total pooled result from the four RCTs. The mean difference was −2.73 [95% confidence interval (CI) −3.85 to −1.62; P ≤ 0.0001*]. When comparing the area of recovery in percentage for first- and second-degree burn wounds to the control group, the total pooled result from the four RCTs revealed a significant decrease, with odds ratio of 0.20 (95% CI 0.08–0.53; P ≤ 0.001*). Thus, the results of this meta-analysis demonstrate that Aloe vera gel is far more beneficial for first- and second-degree burn wound healing and patient recovery than 1% SSD.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
An adolescent male presented to us with a history of ureteric injury resulting from a road traffic accident 18 months ago leading to penetrating abdominal trauma. He had undergone exploratory laparotomy with peritoneal lavage and right percutaneous nephrostomy for ureteric injury at another center. In the right nephrostogram, the pelvicalyceal system was dilated with opacification only up to the upper ureter. Following a careful assessment, Yang–Monti ileal ureteric reconstruction was planned. This procedure involved the use of a detubularized ileal segment to create a neoureter by filling a large defect. At 1-year postoperative follow-up, he was asymptomatic, without nephrostomy, and had resumed his work.

Abstract
Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is an aggressive and unique type of T-cell lymphoma. Patients typically present with constitutional B symptoms, generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenias, and rash. We report a 63-year-old male who presented with fever, generalized lymphadenopathy, and features of plasma cell dyscrasia. Our report emphasizes the complexity of the presentation of AITL and aims to sensitize physicians for early diagnosis and an integrated treatment approach.
Pathological Variables and Laboratory Values in Infants with Neonatal Cholestasis Showing Nonexcretion on Tc-99m Mebrofenin Hepatobiliary Scans: A Descriptive Study
Authors: Nair Ahalya , Ponnusamy Madhusudhanan 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
Cholescintigraphy using Tc-99m Mebrofenin is routinely performed as an initial diagnostic test in infants with neonatal cholestasis suspected of having biliary atresia. Demonstration of drainage of bile into the small intestine indicates patency of the biliary tract and thus rules out biliary atresia. Non-excretion of tracer into the small intestine, however, can be caused by obstructive as well as non-obstructive conditions, and it is known that false-positive findings are found with the use of Tc-99m Mebrofenin scintigraphy.

Aim:
In the present study, we retrospectively calculated the proportion of infants eventually diagnosed to have biliary atresia that were initially ruled to have a non-excreting cholescintigraphy pattern in our institution. We have also attempted a systematic description of the cardinal histological characteristics, haematological and hepatic biochemical variables in infants with non-excreting patterns.

Materials and Methods:
This retrospective, descriptive study was conducted in Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), Puducherry. We reviewed data from infants who underwent cholescintigraphy with Tc-99m Mebrofenin between January 2016 through June 2022. We included infants in whom the scan was ruled “non-excreting” i.e. those infants in whom biliary atresia could not be ruled out based on the results of the scan. The difference in mean for haematological parameters and ALP were compared between the two groups i.e., biliary atresia versus other than biliary atresia by using Independent student’s t-test; the remaining liver biochemical parameters were compared by using Mann-Whitney U Test and a p value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.

Results:
A non-excretory pattern on cholescintigraphy was found to be due to biliary atresia in 49% of cases (as confirmed by exploratory surgery) and an additional 19.6 % of cases by trucut biopsy (total 68.6%). The difference in the mean serum GGT levels was found to be statistically significant (<0.001).

Conclusion:
A non-draining pattern on cholescintigraphy is caused by biliary atresia in the greater percentage of cases presenting with cholestasis. The difference in mean GGT levels was found to be statistically significant between biliary atresia and other causes of non-draining patterns on cholescintigraphy.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Large vessel vasculitis is a known but rare side effect of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) therapy. We report a case of adenocarcinoma lung with pleural infiltration and mediastinal lymphadenopathy, who was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and pegylated G-CSF. After three cycles, he developed a fever. He underwent F-18 fludeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography computed tomography for fever of unkwnown origin evaluation, which revealed a response to chemotherapy along with the appearance of FDG avid mural thickening in a few large arteries, suggesting a diagnosis of G-CSF-induced large vessel vasculitis.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Ga-68 labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET/CT) is increasingly recognized as the best imaging modality for disease staging and detection of recurrent prostate cancer. Despite its name, PSMA expression has been reported in the neovasculature of several nonprostatic benign and malignant pathologies. Docetaxel, a taxane antineoplastic agent, is the mainstay of treatment in castration-resistant prostate cancer and high-volume hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Although the occurrence of docetaxel-related interstitial lung disease is rare, it may lead to respiratory failure if treatment is delayed. We present a case of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, wherein docetaxel-induced interstitial pneumonitis was detected on Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT after docetaxel administration.
Long-term Side Effect of COVID-19 Infection; Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head in SPECT/CT Bone Scintigraphy
Authors: Haghighatafshar Mahdi 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head is a condition characterized by limited mobility, discomfort, and changes in walking patterns due to insufficient blood supply in this region. Our objective is to investigate the possible connection between COVID-19 and AVN. In this study, we detail the case of a 41-year-old male patient who developed AVN in both femoral heads after contracting COVID-19. The mere occurrence of a COVID-19 infection and the use of corticosteroids for its treatment may increase the probability of AVN in the femoral head. Hence, post the COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial to consider AVN vigilantly for timely detection and treatment.
Lymphoscintigraphy – Beyond Lymphedema

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Lymphoscintigraphy is an established modality for imaging the lymphatic system using radiocolloids and is routinely indicated to find the cause of limb lymphedema. However, in this case series, we are highlighting other less-known indications of lymphoscintigraphy like chylothorax and chyluria which present as lymphatic leaks in the thorax and abdomen, respectively. Once the site of the lymphatic leak is established by lymphoscintigraphy, definitive management like thoracic duct ligation or sclerotherapy can be done. The other indication discussed is postrenal transplant perinephric fluid collection which can be challenging to confirm whether it is urinoma, lymphocele, or any other collection. And finally, sentinel lymph node localization is another, now, well-established indication of lymphoscintigraphy.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare, aggressive variant of extranodal non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Although gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging remains the initial imaging modality of choice, a whole-body F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography–computed tomography is imperative to exclude systemic lymphomatous involvement. Furthermore, the metabolic parameter, maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of the lesion, tumor-to-normal cerebral tissue SUVmax ratio, and FDG uptake patterns help in differentiating intracranial lymphomas from High-grade Glioblastoma Multiforme (HGM) and infectious lesions, and hence, consolidating the diagnosis. In this pictorial essay, we present a series of PCNSL cases, representing the different imaging characteristics and metabolic uptake patterns.
