🤰 Stroke in pregnant woman after preeclampsia

A case report detailed a spontaneous cerebellar stroke in a 39-year-old pregnant woman suffering from severe preeclampsia. She presented to the emergency department at 32 weeks of gestation with intense headaches and hypertension. CT and MRI confirmed hemorrhages in the left cerebellar vermis and hemisphere, leading to herniation. An emergency craniotomy was performed, followed by an urgent cesarean section. This case highlights the need for multidisciplinary coordination in managing such complex maternal and fetal conditions. 🤰

⚛️ Twisting 2D materials unlocks weird quantum states

Twistronics explores how twisting atomically thin 2D nanomaterial bilayers creates exotic quantum phases and new superconductors. Chemists and physicists are studying this phenomenon using materials like graphene in labs across the globe. The discovery of superconductivity in magic angle moiré superlattice graphene occurred around 2018. This research challenges current theories by revealing unexpected quantum phenomena in these twisted structures. Future work aims to use this to develop topological quantum computing and potentially room-temperature superconductors. ⚛️

🔬 BCG plus immunotherapy cuts TB relapse risk

Researchers found that combining BCG vaccination with recombinant APRIL significantly lowered tuberculosis relapse rates in preclinical studies. This study, led by scientists at the Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery and Innovation, investigated B-cell targeting to boost TB protection. The combined treatment resulted in a 26 percent relapse rate, versus 60 percent for BCG alone. This suggests B cells are key to strengthening long-term immunity against TB recurrence. Further human trials are needed to confirm this promising therapeutic strategy. 🔬

🎬 Soori's Mandaadi hits 100 crore mark

Soori's sports drama Mandaadi has achieved a major box office milestone, crossing the 100 crore worldwide mark. The film was released in Tamil and is starring Soori, Suhas, and Mahima Nambiar. As of Day 11, the net domestic total is 75.55 crore, while overseas collections added 15.4 crore. This performance puts the film on track to secure a hit verdict from its 50 crore budget. It has also surpassed the lifetime collection of DC at the domestic box office.

🔬 Europe's advanced therapies face new regulatory challenges

Professor Jacob George discussed the evolving regulatory landscape for Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) at Advanced Therapies Europe in Barcelona. He explained that ATMPs, like cell & gene therapies, pose challenges due to their patient-specific and complex nature. Key points included the need for proportionate regulation and regulatory agility to support innovation. International collaboration is crucial to reduce costs and ensure timely patient access to these transformative treatments. Frameworks must evolve alongside the science to maintain both safety and high-quality standards.

🔬 ED linked to higher glaucoma risk in men

Men diagnosed with or treated for erectile dysfunction (ED) showed increased odds of developing primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Researchers conducted a prospective nested case-control study using two UK databases between 2005 and 2022. The study found ED was associated with higher odds in both the Gold dataset (aOR 1.23) and Aurum dataset (aOR 1.12). This suggests ED might reflect systemic vascular issues relevant to early glaucoma detection. Further research should explore these vascular biomarkers for better screening methods. 🧐

🏥 JK Govt rules out OPS for later regularised teachers

The Jammu and Kashmir government has clarified its stance on pension benefits for ReT teachers following an MLA's query. The government ruled out the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) for teachers regularised after January 1, 2010, in Srinagar. However, it confirmed that the initial five years of pre-regularisation service will count for retirement benefits, citing Cabinet Decision No. 115/09/2014. This decision is based on the fact that those regularised before 01.01.2010 fall under OPS, while others are under the NPS. The government also confirmed periodic health infrastructure assessments in the Budgam constituency. 🏥

🔬 Obesity's Immune Changes Might Be Reversible

Obesity is known to alter the immune system, affecting nearly 1 in 5 adults in Germany by increasing proinflammatory monocytes. Ulf Wagner reported that these obesity-related monocyte changes can largely return to normal after bariatric surgery and significant weight loss. A study of 111 obese participants showed they lost an average of 44.5 kg within one year after surgery. This finding suggests a common mechanism linking obesity inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis, potentially reducing cancer risk. Future research will test if RA anti-inflammatory drugs can also improve metabolism in obese patients. 🔬
