Context: Scrub typhus is an acute febrile illness caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi.The disease is under-diagnosed in India, because of low index of suspicion and also due to its nonspecific presentation, and lack of confirmatory diagnostic tests.Aims: This study was undertaken to diagnose scrub typhus in patients with undifferentiated fevers by ser
Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of death and disability worldwide, affecting over 69 million individuals yearly.One-carbon metabolism has been shown to have beneficial effects after brain damage, such as ischemic stroke.However, whether increasing one-carbon metabolite vitamins impacts traumatic brain injury outcomes in patients requires mo
Plaster casting has been effective in fracture rehabilitation due to its immobility capability.Thermoplastic casting gains some efficiency and convenience from clinical processing but fitting and immobility are two major tradeoffs.Three-dimensional (3D)-printed braces have demonstrated improvements in innovation, customization, and appearance, but
The statistical retrieval of atmospheric parameters will be greatly affected by the accuracy of the simulated brightness temperatures (BTs) derived from the radiative transfer model.However, it is challenging to further improve a physical-based radiative transfer model (RTM) developed based on the physical mechanisms of wave transmission through th
