Comparative Analysis of Multimodal GANs for Cross‐Modal Information Retrieval

ABSTRACT Cross‐modal information systems have emerged as an important area of research that enables information retrieval in different modalities such as text, image and audio. Existing Cross‐modal retrieval methods focus on semantic consistency between modalities but rarely cons...

Correlation of Proprioception with Functional and Patient-Reported Measures in Knee Osteoarthritis: An Observational Study Protocol

Introduction Proprioceptive deficits alter neuromuscular control, potentially worsening disability in knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Impaired proprioception can impact motor performance, especially goal-directed movements. The present study aims to examine the correlation between pro...

Effect of chronic anterior cruciate ligament deficiency on patellofemoral alignment: A comparative study

Objectives: Chronic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency changes knee biomechanics and may negatively impact patellofemoral alignment, leading to early degenerative changes. We evaluated radiological alterations in patellofemoral alignment between knees with chronic unilat...

Awareness and Perception of Artificial Intelligence in Diagnostic Imaging: A Cross‐Speciality Survey of Indian Medical Practitioners

INTRODUCTION: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the rapidly evolving areas of diagnostic imaging; however, the extent to which medical professionals are willing to apply these tools to routine care in India has not been thoroughly researched. This is a cross-sectional descri...

Neural mobilization in cervicogenic headache: a scoping review of current evidence

BACKGROUND: Neural mobilization has increasingly been incorporated into physiotherapy management for cervicogenic headache (CGH); however, evidence regarding its clinical effectiveness remains limited. This scoping review aimed to explore and map the existing evidence on neural m...

Methodological considerations in evaluating post-AECOPD follow-up and long-term mortality

Dear Editor,We read with great interest the recent article by Törölä et al., ‘Impact of a follow-up visit on two-year mortality after severe exacerbation of COPD in Finland’ published in the Europe...

Two‐Step, Telescopic Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Urea via Integration of Denitrogenative Methyl N ‐Arylcarbamates Formation and Their Aminolysis

Unsymmetrical ureas are valuable structural motifs in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional materials; however, their synthesis often relies on toxic reagents, transition metals, or isocyanate intermediates, resulting in poor sustainability and limited scalability. Herei...

Mixed phenotype acute leukemia of B-cell and T-cell lymphoblastic lineage: A rare presentation of a rarest phenotype - A case report

Mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) is recognized as a rare form of leukemia, with an incidence rate of <2–3%. The prevalent subtypes include B-cell and myeloid and T-cell and myeloid, while B-cell and T-cell and trilineage MPAL are exceedingly uncommon. We report a case involv...

Letter to editor regarding “Mobile cone-beam computed tomography combined with electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary nodules”

In the study by Ye et al., the authors nicely showed that discrepancies in the positioning of the tools and the lesions were often seen with mCBCT, and that intraprocedural corrections were achieve...

Methodological Considerations in “Characteristics of Post-Exercise Responders Versus Non-Responders Following Aerobic or Isometric Exercise in Physically Inactive Adults of African and South Asian Descent with High-Normal Blood Pressure or Grade I Hypertension”

To the Editor,We read with great interest the recent study by Bersaoui et al. investigating post-exercise hypertension (PEH) and underlying cardiovascular and autonomic phenotypes following acute a...

Phloem protein 2 (PP2) regulates phloem-based defense against apple scar skin viroid and cucumber mosaic virus

The phloem protein 2 (PP2), one of the major phloem proteins, is known to be involved in the transport of nutrients, RNA, and defense; however, the molecular basis of its RNA-binding activity and its role in antiviral defense remain poorly understood. In the present study, we inv...

Tele-Optometry and Mobile Eye Care Units: A Rural Vision Care Model for India

India accounts for about 20% of the world’s visually impaired population. Rural and underserved populations are disproportionately affected by avoidable causes of blindness such as uncorrected refractive errors, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. Traditional facility-...

Microbial modulation of secondary metabolites biosynthesis in plants

Abstract Plants produce a diverse range of secondary metabolites [SMs] such as alkaloids, terpenoids and phenolics, which play crucial roles in defense, signalling and human health applications like pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. Traditionally viewed as autonomous plant bios...

Air Pollution and Blood Pressure Variability: Beyond Ambient Monitoring

Dear Editor,Liu and colleagues [1] ask a question that matters at the bedside: does day-to-day outdoor air quality change how much a hypertensive patient's blood pressure swings within a single day...
