Authors: Dahal Tshetiz , Shah Dhiraj Prasad , Yadav Aman Kumar 
Published: August 2023

According to earlier research, tumour response, Lymphocytopenia, and a system-wide immune-inflammatory indexes all affect the clinical results of Stage III NSCLC. We postulated that the tumour response to CRT would be related to hematologic parameters and could perhaps anticipate clinical results.Retrospective evaluation of stage III NSCLC patients treated at a single facility between 2015 and 2020 was done. After receiving CRT, the pre-treatment gross tumour volume (GTV) was measured again. Full blood counts were taken before, during, and after treatment. Neutrophil platelet lymphocyte was used to define the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII). Kaplan-Meier estimates were used to compute overall survival (OS) and prognosis-free survival (PFS), which were then compared using Wilcoxon tests. Then, taking into account additional baseline parameters, pseudovalue regression was used to provide a multivariate study of hematopoietic factors affecting controlled average duration.There were 110 patients in total. The median PFS and OS were 20 and 35 months, respectively, after a median follow-up of 24 months. Baseline SII was correlated with OS (p = 0.039) but not PFS (p = 0.10), and baseline ALC was correlated with both PFS and OS (p = 0.13 and p = 0.06, respectively) in the multivariate model. The recovery SII, nadir ALC, and nadir SII were not connected to PFS or OS.: Baseline hematologic variables, such as baseline ALC, baseline SII, and recovery ALC, were related to clinical outcomes in this cohort of patients with stage III NSCLC. The relationship between disease response and hematologic variables or clinical outcomes was not strong.

Published: August 2023

Major health issues in the contemporary world, thyroid illnesses are distinguished by changes in hormone output, thyroid gland hypertrophy, or both. The purpose of this study was to identify thyroid histological patterns in people who had thyroid surgery. At Kathmandu University Hospital, a retrospective study was conducted over a two-year period, from January 10, 2021, to December 30, 2022. This study includes all 300 patients who underwent thyroid surgery. gender, age, residency, the outcome of a fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), and post-operative histological patterns were all taken into account. Patients who underwent FNA exclusively were ineligible.Participants' average ages ranged from 35.06 ± 15.19 years. Thyroid disorders were more frequently found in females (90%) than in males ( 10%). Nodular colloid goitre (65.1%), adenoma (5.8%), papillary thyroid neoplasms (25.4%), follicular thyroid carcinoma (6.8%), medullary thyroid carcinoma (8.5%), thyroiditis (9.3%), and anaplastic thyroid cancer (3.9%) were the histopathologic patterns. With a prevalence of 64 (23.1%), papillary thyroid cancer was the most prevalent type. The combined accuracy of the final histology and FNAB was 90.04%. However, 50% of follicular cancer preoperative diagnoses made by FNAB were insufficiently accurate. While FNAB specificity varied from 95.1% to 98.9%, FNAB sensitivity ranged from 75.8% to 90.8%. The most common thyroid condition is nodular colloid goitre, while papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common cancer seen in this study. We suggest more research with a bigger sample size to confirm our findings.

: To compare the pre and post-operative visual, refractive and surgical outcome. It was a prospective interventional study of 56 primary pterygium patients with 12 months follow up. All patients underwent surgery with pterygium excision and conjunctival autograft fixation with fibrin glue without any fixating suture and adjuvant. Pre and post- operative visual acuity, spherical equivalent was compared and surgical outcome were evaluated. All patients were followed up to 12 months. The mean age was 42.43 ±13.38 years with male predominance. Seventy five percent (n=42) patients with normal vision (6/5 to 6/12, according to WHO) became 96% (n=54), 4 week post-operatively. Preoperatively, 42.8% (n=24) patients had spherical equivalent up to 1 D followed by 25% (n=14) Plano, 17.9% (n=10) up to 2 D, 5.4% (n=3) up to 3 D, 3.6% (n=2) had more than 3D which post operatively became 57.1% (n=32) up to 1D, 26.8% (n=15) Plano, 12.5% (n=7) up to 2D and there was no patients more than 2D with pre and post-operative comparison, p value of 0.000. There were no recurrence in 12 months follow up. Fibrin glue is very much effective in reducing recurrence rate and minimizes the complication with a very good visual outcome within 4 week postoperatively if surgery done carefully.

Published: August 2023

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic central nervous system disease, and primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) is one the main types of MS, which has unknown environmental risk factors. The present study was conducted with the aim to identify the association of waterpipe and cigarette smoking, substance abuse, and alcohol consumption with the risk of PPMS development.
Methods: A population-based, case-control study was conducted in Tehran, Iran, on 146 PPMS cases and 294 controls. PPMS cases were diagnosed and confirmed by neurologists. Standard random digit dialing was used to select sex-matched healthy control participants from the same source population as the cases. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios (OR).
Results: In total, 440 subjects participated in the study. PPMS was associated with ever smoking cigarettes [OR = 2.48; confidence interval (CI) = 1.44-4.27], and passive smoking (OR = 2.20; CI = 1.34-3.62). However, having ever smoked waterpipe was not significantly associated with PPMS risk (OR = 1.19; CI = 0.62-2.26). Those who had all 3 types of smoking had an accumulative OR that was 10.45 times higher than that in individuals without any type of smoking (OR: 10.45; 95% CI = 3.5-31.2). We did not find any significant association between PPMS risk and substance abuse and alcohol consumption.
Conclusion: Cigarette smoking and being exposed to passive smoking are important risk factors for developing PPMS; in addition, the use of 3 types of smoking, showed an OR higher than that in those without any smoking. Considering the global increase in tobacco smoking, this finding emphasizes the importance of interventional programs for the prevention of tobacco smoking

Published: August 2023

Background: Alternaria brassicicola (Schw.) causes black spot disease, which is one of the major diseases limiting the production of vegetable crops, especially Chinese kale in Southeast Asia and Thailand. Previous pathogen management based on synthetic fungicides is expensive, toxic for humans, and harmful to the environment. The current study investigated the efficiency of Talaromyces flavus (Klöcker) Stolk and Samson Bodhi001, Talaromyces trachyspermus (Shear) Stolk and Samson Bodhi002, Talaromyces flavus (Klöcker) Stolk and Samson Bodhi003, Neosartorya fischeri (Wehmer) Malloch and Cain Bodhi004, and Neosartorya fischeri (Wehmer) Malloch and Cain in controlling Chinese kale black spot disease caused by A. brassicicola under field conditions. Methods: A. brassicicola and four antagonistic fungus strains were cultured separately on a PDA plate and incubated at room temperature for 14 days. Ten mL of sterile water was poured into a culture plate, and the spores were gently scraped from the mycelium with a sterile loop to obtain a spore suspension and afterward adjusted to a final concentration of 106 spores mL−1. Result: The results showed that spore suspensions of 106 spores mL−1 of T. flavus Bodhi001, T. trachyspermus Bodhi002, T. flavus Bodhi003, N. fischeri Bodhi004, and N. fischeri effectively controlled black spot disease in field trials and resulted in a significant reduction in black spot incidence compared with the unprotected control. Meanwhile, the spore suspension of T. flavus Bodhi001 revealed the greatest suppression of black spot incidence, causing 10.23% and 42.93% disease reduction, compared with the negative control, indicating promising preventive activity against A. brassicicola. Based on our results, T. favus Bodhi001 is a promising biological control agent (BCA) in controlling A. brassicicola causing Chinese kale black spot disease.

Optimal Design and Analysis of a Hybrid Hydrogen Energy
Storage System for an Island-based Renewable Energy Community
Authors: Dehouche Zahir , Garner Robert 
Published: August 2023

Installations of decentralised Renewable Energy Systems (RES) are becoming increasing
popular as governments introduce ambitious energy policies to curb emissions and slow surging
energy costs. This work presents a novel model for optimal sizing for decentralised renewable
generation and hybrid storage system to create a Renewable Energy Community (REC), developed
in Python. The model implements PV Solar and Wind Turbines combined with a hybrid battery and
Regenerative Hydrogen Fuel Cell (RHFC). The electrical service demand is derived using real usage
data from a rural island case study location. Cost remuneration is managed with an REC virtual
trading layer, ensuring fair distribution among actors in accordance with the European RED(III)
policy. A multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (GA) stochastically determines the system capacities such
that the inherent trade-off relationship between project cost and decarbonisation can be observed.
The optimal design results in an LCOE of 0.15€/kWh, reducing costs by over 50% compared with
typical EU grid power, with a project IRR of 10.8%, simple return of 9.6%/year, and ROI of 9 years.
Emissions output from grid only use is reduced by 72% to 69 gCO2e/kWh. Further research of
lifetime economics and additional revenue streams in combination with this work could provide a
useful tool for users to quickly design and prototype future decentralised REC systems.
