Background: To control mosquito vectors causing human diseases, bacterial biopesticides are currently in use. Indeed, the recent development of resistance to these bacterial agents has impeded its applications. Under these circumstances, the search for novel bacterial agents with mosquitocidal activity is unavoidable. In this study, a novel mosquitocidal bacterium was isolated from red soils of agricultural field. Objectives: The objective of this study was to isolate and identify new mosquitocidal bacteria from the natural environment. Materials and Methods: Soil samples were collected during 2021–2022 from Tirupathur district of Tamil Nadu, South India. The samples were bioprocessed for culturing the bacterial colony in a suitable culture medium (Nutrient Yeast Salt Medium), and after 72 h, the bacterial cell mass was removed and lyophilized. Bioassays (mosquito toxicity assays) were carried out to screen the bacterial colonies for mosquitocidal effect. The potential colony was further analyzed, and identified for its application in mosquito control. Results: The new isolate screened from red soil was identified as Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis (VCRC B647) as per the ilvD gene sequence analysis. The strain was found to be potentially effective in controlling mosquito larvae, and further biochemical analyses, bacterial growth, biomass, and protein content were investigated. The new isolate did not show any toxic effect on nontarget aquatic organisms. Conclusion: It is significant to depict that the mosquitocidal action of this new isolate (Bti) is highly significant than the reference strain of Bti-H14. It is concluded that this is the first report that an indigenous strain of Bti VCRC B647 is very effective in mosquito control.

Complex intracranial aneurysms pose significant challenges in the realm of neurointervention, necessitating meticulous planning and execution. This article highlights the crucial roles played by anesthetists in these procedures, including patient assessment, anesthesia planning, and continuous monitoring and maintaining hemodynamic stability, which are pivotal in optimizing patient safety. Understanding these complex procedures and their complications will aid the anesthetist in delivering optimal care and in foreseeing and managing the potential associated complications. The anesthetist's responsibility extends beyond the procedure itself to postprocedure care, ensuring a smooth transition to the recovery phase. Successful periprocedural anesthetic management in flow diverter interventions for complex intracranial aneurysms hinges on carefully orchestrating these elements. Moreover, effective communication and collaboration with the interventional neuroradiologist and the procedural team are emphasized, as they contribute significantly to procedural success. This article underscores the essential requirement for a multidisciplinary team approach when managing patients undergoing neurointerventions. In this collaborative framework, the expertise of the anesthetist harmoniously complements the skills and knowledge of other team members, contributing to the overall success and safety of these procedures. By providing a high level of care throughout the periprocedural period, anesthetists play a pivotal role in enhancing patient outcomes and minimizing the risks associated with these intricate procedures. In conclusion, the periprocedural anesthetic management of neurointervention using flow diverters for complex intracranial aneurysms is a multifaceted process that requires expertise, communication, and collaboration.

The periodic outbreak of mosquito-borne diseases like dengue fever, zika fever, and yellow fever all over the world highlights the need for effective mosquito control methods targeting the biological system. Due to the lack of therapeutic measures, preventive treatments or vaccines against pathogens, insecticide resistance eventually lead the research focus towards novel technological applications in mosquito management. Nanomaterials with ovicidal, larvicidal, adulticidal, and repellent properties for controlling mosquito vectors are under research. A literature search was carried out for advancements in nanomaterials, insecticides, and mosquito control in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science. This paper aims to provide insights into various nanomaterials relevant to mosquito-borne diseases, in vivo and in vitro toxicity evaluation against mosquito species, mode of action, effect on non-target organisms, and ecological risks. Organic and inorganic materials that provide controlled release, target delivery, less dosage, prolonged efficacy, a reduction in the use of organic solvents and emulsifiers, and minimum pollution to the environment have already been explored. Indeed, further research on the ecological risk and economic feasibility of nanomaterials in mosquitocidal applications should be done prior to commercialization.

INTRODUCTION: Anesthetic goals in patients undergoing clipping of cerebral aneurysm include maintenance of cerebral blood flow, oxygenation, and metabolism to avoid cerebral ischemia and maintenance of hemodynamic stability. We intend to study the influence of anesthetic agents on the outcome of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a prospective, randomized, parallel, single-center pilot trial approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee and is prospectively registered with the Clinical Trial Registry of India. Patients with aneurysmal SAH (aSAH) admitted to our institution for surgical clipping, fulfilling the trial inclusion criteria, will be randomized in a 1:1 allocation ratio utilizing a computerized random allocation sequence to receive either total intravenous anesthesia (n = 25) or inhalational anesthesia (n = 25). Our primary objective is to study the effects of these anesthetic techniques on cerebral oxygenation and metabolism in patients with aSAH. Our secondary objective is to evaluate the impact of these anesthetic techniques on the incidence of delayed cerebral ischemia and long-term patient outcomes in patients with aSAH. The Modified Rankin Score and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) at discharge and 3 months following hospital discharge will be evaluated. An observer blinded to the study intervention will assess the outcome measures. DISCUSSION: This study will provide more insight as to which is the ideal anesthetic agent that offers a better neurophysiological profile regarding intraoperative cerebral oxygenation and metabolism, thereby contributing to better postoperative outcomes in aSAH patients.

Background and Aims: Many patients suffer from post-operative pain after neurosurgery despite using intra-operative opioids. Opioid side effects are problematic in neurosurgical patients. Hence, non-opioid alternatives for the management of nociception and pain are needed. Previous studies comparing opioids with non-opioids in the neurosurgical population were few, from single centres, of small sample sizes and were equivocal in findings, which prevented change in clinical practice. To overcome these limitations, we are conducting a multi-centre trial with objectives to compare intra-operative rescue opioid requirements and post-operative pain scores (primary objectives), adverse events, quality of recovery from anaesthesia, quality of sleep and patient satisfaction during hospital stay, and persistent post-surgical pain and quality of life at 3 and 6 months (secondary objectives) in patients receiving opioid and non-opioid analgesia for brain tumour surgeries. Methods: This study protocol describes the methodology of a multi-centre randomised controlled trial. Ethics committee approval has been obtained from all five centres, the trial has been registered with the Clinical Trial Registry- India, and insurance has been obtained for this investigator-initiated funded study. In patients undergoing supra-tentorial brain tumour surgery (population), we will compare fentanyl (intervention) 1 μg/kg/h with dexmedetomidine (comparator) 0.5 μg/kg/h administered during surgery with regards to intra-operative rescue opioid requirement and post-operative pain (primary outcomes). Results: We describe the study protocol of the multi-centre trial (protocol version 2, dated 29/01/2022). The first patient was recruited on 19/10/2022, and we will complete recruitment before March 2024. Conclusion: We expect our study to establish dexmedetomidine as an effective non-opioid analgesic vis-à-vis opioids in the neurosurgical population.

Patients undergoing complex intracranial neurovascular procedures continue to have a high mortality rate. Individualised goal-directed cerebral resuscitation employing multimodality neuromonitoring may impact these patients' treatment and prognosis. Advanced monitoring methods aid in the early identification of secondary brain insults and serve as endpoints for goal-directed therapy in the perioperative period. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of literature exploring the impact of multimodality monitoring and its outcome in these patients. We aim to present this case series wherein the patients had a favourable outcome post-intracranial complex bypass procedure, owing to goal-directed management guided by multimodality monitoring in the perioperative period.

Background: Obesity has been a major concern due to its increasing prevalence and associated metabolic complications. Body mass index (BMI) assesses general obesity, but it does not distinguish between muscle and fat accumulations, so using only BMI can lead to an erroneous result. Waist circumference (WC), a marker of central obesity, predicted mortality risk better than BMI. However, WC can be affected by abdominal distension, is time-consuming, and may not be culture-sensitive. Neck circumference (NC) is devoid of these disadvantages and is believed to be an index of upper body fat distribution. This study aimed to assess the association of neck circumference with general and central obesity and to identify the cut-off points for evaluating obesity in young adults using NC. Material and Methods: Height, weight, waist, and hip circumference were measured to determine BMI and waist-hip ratio. NC was measured at the level of the mid-cervical spine and mid-anterior neck in a standing position with the arms hanging freely. For males with a laryngeal prominence, NC was measured just below the prominence. Results: In total, 357 (170 male and 187 female) young, healthy Indian adults aged 18–25 participated. Neck circumference (NC) is significantly associated with BMI and WC in both genders. We found the best cut-off for male and female participants to be ≥34 cm and ≥30.5 cm, with a sensitivity of 88.3% and 84.4% for assessing obesity. Conclusion: NC may be a better alternative to BMI and WC as a marker to assess obesity since it is more practical, simple, inexpensive, time-saving, and less invasive.

PMC India ,repository ,lcsh:R ,lcsh:Medicine ,Open access ,public access policy - Abstract
India is becoming one of the hubs of clinical research. Commensurate with these advances, the government funding for biomedical research in thrust areas is also increasing. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Department of Science and Technology (DST) are some of the government organizations which provide financial support for various research projects. The results of the funded research projects are published in various international journals. Most of these journals have an access to paid subscribers only. Hence it is unethical to use the research grants from government (people′s money) and not allow the scientific community free access to the results of the study. To tackle such issues, these agencies should sign the Berlin declaration and create open access repositories. A public access policy should be formulated and listed in JULIET. The funding bodies in India should also join Pubmed Central (PMC) to form PMC India so that every investigator who has received grants would submit the full text of the paper published from his study and these can be made freely accessible to everyone. Universities and research institutions should also develop institutional open access repositories. The public access policy has definitive advantages and should be implemented.

Introduction: Hemodynamic stability and fluid responsiveness (FR) assume importance in perioperative management of patients undergoing major surgery. Passive leg raising (PLR) is validated in assessing FR in intensive care unit patients. Very few studies have examined FR to PLR in intraoperative scenario. We prospectively studied FR to PLR using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), in patients with no coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing major neurosurgery and those with CAD undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: We enrolled 29 adult consenting patients undergoing major neurosurgery with TEE monitoring and 25 patients undergoing CABG. After induction of anesthesia, baseline hemodynamic parameters were obtained which was followed by PLR using automated adjustment of the operating table. Clinical and TEE-derived hemodynamic parameters were recorded at 1 and 10 min after PLR following which patients were returned to supine position. Results: A total of 162 TEE and clinical examinations were done across baseline, 1 and 10 min after PLR; and paired comparison was done at data intervals of baseline versus 1 min PLR, baseline versus 10 min PLR, and 1 min versus 10 min PLR. There was no significant change in hemodynamic variables at any of the paired comparison intervals in patients undergoing neurosurgery. CABG cases had significant hemodynamic improvement 1 min after PLR, partially sustained at 10 min. Conclusion: Patients undergoing CABG had significant hemodynamic response to PLR, whereas non-CAD patients undergoing neurosurgery did not. A blood pressure–left ventricular end-diastolic volume combination represented strong correlation in response prediction (Pearson's coefficient 0.641; P < 0.01).

One of the complications of carotid artery stenting (CAS) is iatrogenic vasospasm caused by mechanical irritation of the blood vessel lumen by a guidewire, catheter, stent retriever, or distal protection devices. Although often self-limiting, the mechanical vasospasm can cause reduction in the cerebral blood flow and result in catastrophic ischemia, especially when undetected and persistent. Real-time cerebral oximetry with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) could detect episodes of cerebral hypoxemia due to vasospasm and facilitate intervention for prevention of hypoxic brain injury during neuro-intervention procedures such as CAS. We present a case scenario where NIRS detected iatrogenic vasospasm even before the conventional tests could identify the event during CAS.

Adolescents ,sleep hygiene ,stress ,Medicine - Abstract
Background: Stress is a psychophysiological phenomenon. Due to recent lifestyle modifications prevalence of stress is increasing among adults and adolescents. Adolescence is a period of storm and stress and any excess stress would have negative impact on their sleep and would ultimately affect their academic performance and health. Hence the current study proposes to evaluate the effect of stress on sleep hygiene among school going adolescents in Chennai. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study and participants were healthy male (84) and female (48) school going adolescents between the age group of 15-19 years (n = 132). Stress was assessed using Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and sleep hygiene was assessed using Epworth Sleepiness Scale for Children and Adolescents (ESS-CHAD). Results: In all, 84.8% of the adolescents reported that they are academically overloaded. Both the genders were found to be moderately stressed (Males: 63.6%; females: 66.7%). Prevalence of sleep disturbances was found to be 23.5% and increase in stress was found to be associated with decrease in sleep quality. Discussion: The study shows that prevalence of stress is high among adolescents and it is negatively influencing their sleep hygiene. Hence, early identification and management of stress is required for school going late adolescents for better academic performance and wellbeing.

Background: Conventional tissue processing is as old as 100 years and still remains the gold standard. Tissue processing involves many steps, of which one of the important steps is clearing. Xylene is one of the common clearing agents used in laboratory, but it is carcinogenic and teratogenic. Aim: The aim of this study was to substitute conventionally used xylene with kerosene in tissue processing and staining. Materials and Methods: Thirty bits of chicken tissue samples were collected; each was randomly separated into two groups: tissue processing and staining. Instead of conventional xylene, we used kerosene. The tissue blocks were subjected to sectioning and staining, and finally, they were observed under light microscope. Results: Tissue samples that were processed and cleared with kerosene showed equal clearing and staining without any alterations of the tissue morphology and cellular details with that of xylene. Conclusion: Kerosene can be used as a substitute to xylene without posing any health risk or compromising the cellular integrity.

Background: Acute aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a potentially devastating event often presenting with a plethora of hemodynamic fluctuations requiring meticulous fluid management. The aim of this study was to assess the utility of newer dynamic predictors of fluid responsiveness such as Delta down (DD), superior vena cava collapsibility index (SVCCI), and aortic velocity time integral variability (VTIAoV) in patients with SAH undergoing neurosurgery. Materials and Methods: Fifteen individuals with SAH undergoing surgery for intracranial aneurysmal clipping were enrolled in this prospective study. Postinduction, vitals, anesthetic parameters, and the study variables were recorded as the baseline. Following this, patients received a fluid bolus of 10 ml/kg of colloid over 20 min, and measurements were repeated postfluid loading. Continuous variables were expressed as mean ± standard deviation and compared using Student's t-test, with a P < 0.05 considered statistically significant. The predictive ability of variables for fluid responsiveness was determined using Pearson's coefficient analysis (r). Results: There were 12 volume responders and 3 nonresponders (NR). DD >5 mm Hg was efficient in differentiating the responders from NR (P < 0.05) with a sensitivity and specificity of 90% and 85%, respectively, with a good predictive ability to identify fluid responders and NR; r = 0.716. SVCCI of >38% was 100% sensitive and 95% specific in detecting the volume status and in differentiating the responders from NR (P < 0.05) and is an excellent predictor of fluid responsive status; r = 0.906. VTIAoV >20% too proved to be a good predictor of fluid responsiveness, with a sensitivity and specificity of 100% and 90%, respectively, with a predictive power; r = 0.732. Conclusion: Our study showed that 80% of patients presenting with aSAH for intracranial aneurysm clipping were fluid responders with normal hemodynamic parameters such as heart rate and blood pressure. Among the variables, SVCCI >38% appears to be an excellent predictor followed by VTIAoV >20% and DD >5 mmHg in assessing the fluid status in this population.

Background: Recently, under National Health Mission alternate systems of Medicine are mainstreamed in public health care system. Effective action plan generation, logistic arrangement and roll out of these alternate systems of Medicine needs understanding on profile of morbidities among attendees who come to these facilities. Objectives: This study was planned to report profile of morbidities, age and sex differentials in specific morbidities among geriatric attendees in secondary level siddha health facilities. Materials and Methods: A facility based cross sectional study was conducted among elderly person (60 years and above) attending Siddha outpatient department (OPD) from two of the randomly selected sub district level siddha facilities in Erode district, Tamil Nadu, India. Information on socio-demographic variables like age, gender, education and clinical profile (diagnosis) were collected from records already maintained in the siddha OPD. Morbidities were summarized in terms of proportions based on age and gender. Age and sex specific differentials on specific morbidities were compared using 'z' test. Results: Of 2710 patients who visited these two siddha facilities during the reference period, 763 (28.1%) patients were elderly. Arthritis (45.2%), neuritis (8.8%), diabetes (6.6%), bronchial asthma (5.2%), hemiplegia (3.7%) were the top five morbidities diagnosed and treated among elderly attending the siddha OPD. There was a predilection towards elderly male for morbidities such as bronchial asthma and hemiplegia compared to elderly female. Similarly, higher proportions of lumbar spondylosis, hypertension and fungal skin diseases were reported among aged 80 years or more compared to elderly aged 60-79 years. Conclusion: Elderly constitute more than one fourth of outpatients load from siddha health facilities. Degenerative diseases like arthritis and non-communicable diseases were the common morbidities in this age group. Geriatric clinics and mobile clinics under siddha system may help in improving health care services.

Acute lung collapse during open-heart surgery may potentially lead to problems such as inadequate gas exchange, increased pulmonary vascular resistance, increased afterload to the right ventricle, and difficulty in weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Therefore, expansion of the lungs is ensured prior to separation from CPB. We report the inability to manually expand a chronically collapsed lung during the repair of ascending aortic aneurysm. The collapsed lung did not pose difficulty in separation from CPB and in blood gas management during the perioperative period. We discuss perioperative management issues in such situations.
