👉Being a life threatening condition, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is uncommon. Annual incidence ranges from 1.16 to 2.02 per 100,000 1,2and is more common in females than males, with a female-to-male ratio of 3:13, 4.

✅Common risk factors are pro-thrombotic conditions, either genetic or acquired, obesity, oral contraceptives, pregnancy and the puerperium, malignancy, infection, and head injury and mechanical precipitants.

✅ venous sinus (CVST) has been associated with intracranial hypotension in postpartum cases, though this connection is relatively rare. After childbirth, women may experience changes in fluid dynamics and hormonal fluctuations that can predispose them to both conditions.

✅In these cases, timely diagnosis is crucial. Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Magnetic Resonance venography can help identify both SIH and CVST. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying CSF leak, often through epidural blood patches, along with anticoagulation therapy for CVST.

👉Close monitoring is essential to prevent complications and ensure optimal recovery.

Here we are reporting a case of postpartum CVST with Intracranial

Why carry out this study?

✅Current research indicates that certain changes in the fundus blood flow dynamics are due to differences in refractive error and axial length.
✅We further investigated the changes in retinal oxygen saturation in patients with myopia and elucidated the possible factors related to axial length.

What was learned from the study?

✅There is a significant correlation between both retinal and choroidal thickness and retinal oxygen saturation across a wide range of myopia.
✅This may be due to changes in retinal and choroidal vascular lumen composition caused by axial length elongation and this needs further investigation.

✅Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) is an established effective renal Replacement Therapy (KRT) for patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). PD accounts for 9% of all KRT and 11% of all dialysis worldwide.

✅An uncommon but well-recognized complication is hydrothorax due to Pleuroperitoneal Communication (PPC) occurring in 1.6–10% of PD patients . An increased intra-abdominal pressure results in dialysate leaking across the diaphragm into the pleural space causing PPC. It is most commonly to be right-sided. Some PPCs appear rapidly. Some exist with long-term PD.

✅Origin of PPC can be detected via contrast CT peritoneography and peritoneal scintigraphy using Technetium-99m tagged macro aggregated albumin or Tc-99m sulfur colloid. Thoracentesis is consistent with a transudative effusion with a high glucose concentration (50 mg/dL greater than simultaneous blood glucose). However, glucose measurement may be equivocal if prolonged effusion results in significant glucose absorption.

✅Here we reported two cases of PPC verified by glucose gradient combined with pleural effusion volume observation, which might provide an easy, reliable, and cost-effective method for diagnosing PPC.

✅To examine the learning behaviour of surgeons undergoing cataract surgery training in an ambulant, single-centre, single-teacher setting.

✅This was a retrospective study to examine the process quality. Cataract surgeries were performed at an eye clinic in Bruchsal, Germany, using manual phacoemulsification technique under local anesthesia or sedation. Surgeon training involved stepwise instruction and practice on porcine eyes and surgical simulators before progressing to complete surgeries. Length of procedure, complication rates and visual outcomes were analysed to assess the effectiveness of the training. Shewhart control charts to assess process quality and detect systematic errors.

✅The study included 413 surgeries performed by two trainee surgeons over one year and compared their outcomes with those of an experienced supervisor. Operator A showed a typical learning trajectory, stabilising after 100 operations, whereas Operator B faced challenges, possibly exacerbated by disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Both operators showed comparable visual outcomes but differed in complication trends.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS
✅The importance of a consistent practice environment and suggests the integration of cataract surgery training into the ambulatory setting to reduce the training burden and increase accessibility

Read this powerful article by Richard M Fleming, PhD, MD, JD , which highlights key findings regarding the oligonucleotide content of Spikevax (Moderna) and BNT162b2 (Pfizer) COVID-19 vaccines.

Infectious processes, including that caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus number 2 (SARS-CoV-2) result in an Inflammo Thrombotic Immunologic Response (ITIR) Disease (ITIRD), in this instance Coronavirus Disease first described in 2019 (COVID-19). While medical management is possible, enhancement of immunity can be acquired through the administration of vaccines.

The development of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines, such as Spikevax (Moderna) and BNT162b2 (Pfizer), has been pivotal in mitigating the global pandemic. These vaccines rely on modified messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules to instruct cells to produce the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein, triggering an immune response.

While mRNA vaccines underwent rigorous clinical evaluation, emerging concerns have prompted further examination of their nucleic acid content and batch consistency. In particular, discrepancies in genomic material, including the presence of undeclared DNA sequences, have raised questions about manufacturing integrity and potential biological risks.

This study was conducted in response to a formal request by Peter Kotlár, MD, Plenipotentiary for the Government of the Slovak Republic, to assess the nucleic acid content in multiple lots of Spikevax and BNT162b2 vaccines. The analysis aimed to:

✅Identify the nucleic acids present in the vaccine preparations.
✅Quantify nucleic acid content across multiple lots.
✅Evaluate batch homogeneity.
✅Determine whether undeclared genetic material was present.
✅Assess potential biological implications of unexpected nucleic acids.
✅Examine the effects of expired storage conditions on nucleic acid stability.
✅The findings provide insights into vaccine composition, stability, and manufacturing practices, with implications for public health policy and regulatory oversight.

✅Numbers of trauma surgeries at 12 general hospitals from 2015 to 2023 were extracted and those before and after COVID-19 pandemic were compared.

✅The annual average number of trauma surgery patients before pandemic was 4279, but this decreased to 3825 (-11%) in 2020. There was no significant difference in the number of patients from the following year onwards. Number of patients who underwent surgery with spinal or local anesthesia before the epidemic was 3375, which significantly decreased to 2754 (-16%) in 2020, but no significant difference was observed after 2021.

✅The number of trauma surgeries decreased significantly only in the first year of the pandemic. This was due to a decrease in minor trauma surgeries that could be conducted with local or lumbar anesthesia. The government requested that citizens restrict their activities and asked medical institutions to postpone non-urgent surgeries, but emergency trauma surgeries were performed as usual. The decrease in trauma patients was only seen in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, considered to be due to the fact that numbers of accidents and traumas decreased as a result of citizens complying with the behavioral restrictions, but this voluntary behavioral restraint was thought to last only one year.

✅The behavioral restrictions reduced the number of trauma cases, but people’s self-restraint was insufficient from the second year onwards.

📍 Invasive lobular Carcinoma (ILC) is the second most common type of breast cancer, after Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC)

✅Invasive lobular Carcinoma (ILC) is distinguished from Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) via negative E-cadherin staining. Accumulating data reveal different biological and clinical behavior of ILC in both early and metastatic breast cancer.

✅Thus, IDC usually present as a solid mass while ILC tend to present as non-mass enhancement. Clinically, ILC tends to spread to the ovaries, peritoneum and meninges and is more resistant to chemotherapy. Current international guidelines do not consider ILC separately and do not issue distinct recommendations for this entity. In this work we compare the treatment approach to ILC and IDC in pre and postmenopausal patients.

✅A structured questionnaire was distributed to all breast cancer Oncologists in Israel. Two identical clinical cases were presented, the only difference being ILC or IDC histology.

✅About 80% (n=40) of breast cancer treating oncologists in Israel answered the questionnaire, different approach were noted between IDC and ILC in identical cases. For premenopausal patients with IDC stage II (T2N1MO) Luminal B, 61.0% of the oncologists recommended neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and 22% opted to upfront surgery, while for ILC only 26.8% initiated NACT and 39.0% chose upfront surgery. The difference was statistically significant (P-0.014). In postmenopausal patients, there was numerically but not statistically significant difference between the treatment approaches.

✅Although international guidelines do not consider ductal and lobular histology separately, oncologists' treatment approach differs between premenopausal patients with IDC versus ILC histology.

✅Aging is a natural process which everyone goes through from birth to death. Physical, emotional and social problems abound in old age. Age-related cognitive decline, comorbid conditions, lack of financial, personal autonomy and loneliness are significant factors that increase incidence of mental health disorders among the elders. “Aging India” is now a significant public health issue.

✅A nation is classified as a “Graying Nation” by the UN when the percentage of its population over 60 years old reaches 7%. Nearly 7.7% (77 million) of India's overall population was elderly at the start of the millennium, making up 8.6% (104 million) in 2011 and 9.4% (125 million) in 2017.

✅By 2050, the proportion of older adults in India is predicted to reach 19% (324 million), thanks to advances in healthcare technologies and epidemiological change [1].

✅Like diabetes or hypertension, depression is a true and treatable medical condition and should not be considered as a normal part of aging and needs attention, [2] and it is not just having “the blues” or the emotional turmoil which one feels after the loss of a loved one.

✅As per WHO, it is a prolonged period of sadness, lack of interest, loss of pleasure in activities and low self-worth being the hallmark of depression. Approximately about 3.8% of the population have depression, including 5% of adults (4% in men and 6% in women) and 5.7% of adults > 60 years.

✅WHO reports the prevalence of depression in the elderly varies between 10% to 20% in various societies. It was 13% to 43% in some of the 121 community-based studies in India [3]. Limited funding, lack of skilled healthcare professionals and the social stigma attached to mental diseases act as barriers to providing effective therapy for mental health diseases [4].

✅To screen for and quantify the severity of this iceberg phenomenon it was decided to study depression in all the geriatric patients visiting the health care providers for non-psychiatric health issues to detect hidden depression for early diagnosis and treatment.
