Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths and the 7th most common cancer. It has two characteristic features being advanced stage at diagnosis and association with liver cirrhosis. Liver transplantation (LT) offers the only curative option to treat both components of the disease. The Milan criteria have been extensively used for selecting patients with HCC for LT. However, using Milan criteria, we can only transplant 30% of the patients. The aim of the present review is to evaluate the role of LT in HCC beyond the Milan criteria.

We evaluated the studies that have introduced extended criteria to select patients with HCC beyond the Milan criteria. We evaluated the outcomes in terms of disease-free survival rates and HCC recurrences.

There are patients with tumors that are beyond Milan criteria that could benefit from LT. Selection of these patients has paramount importance in the era of living donor liver transplantation. Current expanded criteria depend on either the bulk of the tumor or the additional surrogate markers of tumor biology such as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and des-gamma carboxyprothrombin (DCP).

There is no ideal marker or an extended criterion for selecting patients with HCC beyond the Milan criteria and it needs further research to find an effective biomarker that has prognostic significance to select patients with advanced tumors.

In this retrospective observational study and referring to a historical case presented in 2009, we searched for typical clinical and imaging features of brainstem encephalitis in neuroborreliosis.

In addition to the historical case we describe five affected patients.

All patients had a very similar prolonged clinical course with unspecific symptoms such as wasting, fatigue and headache. Brainstem signs were irregularly observed. MRI showed symmetrical brainstem alterations in all patients. In coronary FLAIR imaging these changes formed a figure resembling a Philippine tarsier.

A subset of patients with neuroborreliosis develops a brainstem encephalitis with a typical clinical course and distinct MRI findings.

It is a transboundary disease of the economic importance affecting cattle and water buffaloes. The disease is transmitted by arthropod vectors and causes high morbidity and low mortality. LSD has recently been reported first time in India with 7.1% morbidity among cattle. Generally, fever, anorexia, and characteristic nodules on the skin mucous membrane of mouth, nostrils, udder, genital, rectum, drop in milk production, abortion, infertility and sometimes death are the clinical manifestations of the disease. The disease is endemic in African and Middle East countries but has started spreading to Asian and other countries. It has been recently reported from China and Bangladesh sharing borders with India. We have summarized occurrence of LSD outbreaks in last 10 years in Asian countries for the first time. In India, currently epidemiological status of the disease is unknown. Vaccination along with strict quarantine measures and vector control could be effective for preventing the spread of the disease. This review aims to summarise the latest developments in the epidemiology with the focus on transboundary spread, aetiology and transmission, clinical presentations, diagnostics and management of the disease.
In this study, strictosidine synthase (STR) from Catharanthus roseus that plays an important role in alkaloid biosynthesis was selected. The purpose of this work was to perform in silico analysis and to predict the three-dimensional structure of this protein that is not available.

Physicochemical characterization was performed by Expasy's Protparam server. The computed theoretical isoelectric point (pI) found to be less than 7 indicates the acidic nature of this protein. The aliphatic index 73.04 indicates the thermal stability of the protein. Grand average hydropathy (GRAVY) was predicted to be - 285; this lower value of GRAVY shows the possibility of better interaction of this protein with water. Functional analysis of these proteins was performed by SOSUI server which predicted the transmembrane helix. Secondary structure analysis was carried out by SOPMA that revealed that Alpha helix dominated among secondary structure elements followed by random coil, extended strand, and beta turns. The modeling of the three-dimensional structure of the STR was performed by Swiss model. The model was validated using protein structure checking tools PROCHECK and PROVE.

This study reveals in silico analysis by Expasy Protparam server, SOPMA, and SOSUI server. Homology modeling of STR was performed by Swiss model.

Sepsis is major determinants of prognosis in acute pyelonephritis (APN). This study aimed to assess factors associated with the development of sepsis among patients with clinically uncomplicated APN.

We examined 463 patients presenting to our hospital without complications. We assessed clinical factors including demographic and laboratory features. Renal and extrarenal features on computed tomography (CT) were also analyzed. Risk factors of sepsis are assessed.

The study included 361 patients without (78.0%) and 102 patients with sepsis (22.0%). Crude and attributable mortality rates were 3.9% and 2.0% versus 1.4% and 0.6%, respectively, among patients with and without sepsis. Clinical risk factors for sepsis were age >65years (odds ratio [OR] 1.79, P=0.02), absence of flank pain (OR 1.59, P=0.04), absence of costovertebral tenderness (OR 1.89, P=0.03), diabetes mellitus (OR 2.25, P=0.02), bacteremia (OR 2.8, P=0.01), C-reactive protein level >100mg/L (OR 1.42, P=0.02), and lack of previous APN history (OR 1.
