In India, the incidence of mucormycosis reached high levels during 2021-2022, coinciding with COVID-19 pandemic. response to this, we established a multicentric ambispective cohort patients hospitalised across India. this paper, report their baseline profile, clinical characteristics and outcomes at discharge. Patients hospitalized for March-July 2021 were included. Mucormycosis was diagnosed based on mycological confirmation direct microscopy (KOH/Calcofluor white stain), culture,...
microRNAs are known to regulate various protein-coding gene expression posttranscriptionally. Fatty acids cell membrane constituents and also influence the biological activities of cells like signal transduction, growth differentiation cells, apoptosis induction, other physiological functions. In our experiments, we used lauric acid analyse its effects on human cancerous lines.Our objective was speculate miRNA profile in treated untreated lines further study metabolic pathways targeted...
Abstract Background Data on mixed mould infection with COVID‐19‐associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) and mucormycosis (CAPM) are sparse. Objectives To ascertain the prevalence of co‐existent CAPA in CAPM (mixed infection) whether is associated early mortality (≤7 days diagnosis). Methods We retrospectively analysed data collected from 25 centres across India mucormycosis. included only excluded subjects disseminated or rhino‐orbital defined if a respiratory specimen showed septate...
The coronavirus disease 2019 is a contagious and had caused havoc throughout the world by creating widespread mortality morbidity. unavailability of vaccines proper antiviral drugs encourages researchers to identify potential be used against virus. presence RNA binding domain in nucleocapsid (N) protein severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) could drug target, which serves multiple critical functions during viral life cycle, especially replication. Since vaccine development might...
Dear Editor, A large number of mucormycosis cases were reported in India following the second wave COVID-19.[1] However, data on imaging appearance COVID-19-associated pulmonary (CAPM) are limited.[2] few published case reports CAPM and a systematic literature review suggested cavity consolidation as most common finding.[3-6] The primary objective current study was to describe computed tomography (CT) thorax findings at diagnosis. secondary objectives compare CT (1) patients with diabetes...
Potter's syndrome is a rare condition affecting one in 2000-5000. We present here two autopsy cases of syndrome, with the finding discoid adrenals and even rarer <i>in situ</i> neuroblastoma cases.
In recurrent tonsillitis, the pathogenic bacteria are harbored in tonsil core, and therefore cultures of superficial swab samples not particularly accurate identifying specific types core bacteria. On other hand, results fine-needle aspiration (FNA) have been closely correlated with findings excised tonsils, both methods far superior to surface swabbing. We conducted a prospective study compare accuracy culture from tonsillar tissue obtained by swabbing, FNA sampling situ, children...
Melioidosis is an emerging entity in India. Though it a potentially fatal disease, prognosis excellent with early detection and appropriate management, especially of localized infections like abscesses the head neck area. We report nine cases focal region due to Burkholderia pseudomallei, causative agent melioidosis, presenting our hospital within span two-and-half years. Since melioidotic cervicofacial are likely be confused cold caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis tuberculosis-endemic...
Pathogenic Mycobacteria colonize host macrophages. Attachement of these organisms to macrophages is the preliminary step prior invasion by bacteria. Western blot confirmed that walls Mycobacterium avium and tuberculosis contain molecules which are immunologically related mycotin, a lectin found in smegmatis . We have demonstrated adherence significantly inhibited anti‐mycotin antibody or mycotin‐specific sugar, mannan. These observations suggest prevention interaction mycotin‐related on...

Sir, Spontaneous chemical meningitis in craniopharyngioma is a rare phenomenon. The cause of this due to rupture and release contents particularly cholesterol crystals. We report an interesting case leaking rather than ruptured one. Very few cases have been reported the literature.[2,5] A 13-year-old girl presented with intermittent headache for last 1 year. She had complete loss vision on left side eye progressively diminishing right computed tomography (CT) scan showed hypodense...
Abstract Background The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has resulted in various changes knowledge, attitude and practice among doctors. A survey was conducted of otolaryngologists India regarding these aspects relation to the pandemic. Method Otolaryngologists from West Bengal (India) were invited participate an online self-administered survey. Data collected analysed using appropriate methods. Results Responses 133 participants, grouped into 4 groups by their career stage, analysed. Of...
