• A novel dual replaced hepatic arterial system arising from the superior mesenteric artery: a newly described vascular trap in pancreatoduodenectomy. Tripathi, Mayank; Balachandran, Reshma R.; Vadodaria, Dhaval; Boyana, Pranathi (2025). 88(3) 665–671.

  We report the first documented case of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) performed in a patient with a periampullary malignancy and a singular, unreported vascular anomaly: dual replaced hepatic arteries (right and left) originating entirely from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), with the left hepatic artery (LHA) exhibiting an aberrant intrapancreatic course. Preoperative CT identified the anomaly but underestimated its complexity. The LHA originated distally on the SMA, traversed deep within the pancreatic parenchyma giving off branches including an inferior pancreatoduodenal artery (IPDA), and emerged in the pancreatoduodenal groove mimicking the gastroduodenal artery (GDA), posing a profound risk of accidental ligation. Meticulous dissection preserved both arteries. The LHA was subsequently wrapped with a peritoneal patch to mitigate pancreatic fistula risk. Additional venous variations were encountered and managed. The patient recovered uneventfully. This case underscores the critical importance of anatomical vigilance, adaptive surgical technique, and strategies for preserving aberrant vasculature in complex PD.

  BACKGROUND: Allergic rhinitis is the most common chronic disease in children. Information on efficacy and safety of oral allergic rhinitis treatments in children is scarce. We aimed to comprehensively evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral medications for allergic rhinitis in children. METHODS: We performed a systematic review, searching three bibliographic databases and clinicaltrials.gov for randomized controlled trials assessing the use of oral antihistamines (OAH) or leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRA) in children (<12 years old) with seasonal or perennial allergic rhinitis. Evaluated outcomes included the Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS), the Total Ocular Symptom Score (TOSS), the Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (RQLQ), development of adverse or serious adverse events, and withdrawals due to adverse events. We performed network meta-analysis at both class and individual treatment levels. Certainty in the body of evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach for network meta-analysis. RESULTS: We included eight primary studies with 906 participants. Overall, OAH were more effective against placebo in improving the TNSS (mean difference (MD) = -1.60; 95%CI = -2.25 to -0.95). On the other hand, OAH+LTRA did not demonstrate additional benefit over OAH in improving the TNSS (MD = -0.15; 95% CI = -1.18 to 0.88), and there were no important differences between individual OAH. Evidence on the TOSS was not found. No significant differences in the frequency of adverse events were observed. Certainty of evidence was low or very low for most comparisons. CONCLUSIONS: Oral treatments for allergic rhinitis appear to be effective and safe in children. However, evidence is scarce and the quality of evidence is mostly low. We performed a systematic review of randomised controlled trials assessing oral medications for allergic rhinitis in children and reporting results on nasal symptoms, ocular symptoms, quality of life and adverse events. Oral antihistamines (OAH) were found to be better than placebo, and OAH + oral leukotriene receptor antagonists (OLTRA) were not found to be better than OAH. We identified trivial differences between different OAH.
• Time to Adapt Urban Trees of European Cities in Response to Climate-Driven Changes.

Under Review in npj Urban Sustainability.

  Urban trees mitigate climate impacts, but their long-term suitability under future climates remains poorly quantified at the city scale across Europe. We combine published tolerance limits with kernel density estimation-derived thresholds from urban species occurrence records to build climate envelopes for the 26 most common European urban tree species. These climate envelopes are applied to CHELSA climate projections for multiple periods until 2100 under SSP1-2.6, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 to assess changes in climatic suitability and species persistence across 1,165 European cities. Results reveal strong and geographically differentiated shifts: many cities in Central and Southern Europe are projected to lose suitable species, with reductions of up to 46% of their municipal tree inventories, whereas cities in Northern and parts of Western Europe gain climatic suitability and access to a broader pool of species. Our city-level projections provide a robust basis for climate-adaptive urban tree planning and policy development across Europe.</p>

• Exploring ESC Winners with Nested Diagrams. Sharma, Anurag; Nöhre, Marcel; Stumme, Gerd (2026, August).

  We present ConceptFlow, a scikit-learn-compatible Python library for Formal Concept Analysis that constructs and renders nested line diagrams from many-valued formal contexts. Given a many-valued context and a partition of its attributes into conceptual scales, ConceptFlow performs conceptual scaling, computes the factor lattices, identifies filled nodes of the corresponding subdirect product, and produces an interactive visualization. We apply ConceptFlow to the winners of the Eurovision Song Contest from 1975 to 2025, exploring relationships between voting patterns and musical characteristics. Voting support is captured by an outer scale spanning regional, cultural, historical, and political dimensions, while an inner scale captures musical characteristics via tempo and key. The resulting nested line diagram reveals implications across both scales, exposing dependencies between how winning entries were voted for and the musical properties they share.
• Multi-unit recordings in the stick insect <i>Carausius morosus</i> reveal distinct mechanosensory and olfactory activity patterns among antennal lobe neurons. Gonsek, Andrea; Groh, Claudia; Dürr, Volker; Strube-Bloss, Martin (2026). Volume 17 - 2026

  In the absence of light, the stick insect Carausius morosus relies on sensory modalities such as olfaction and mechanosensation instead of vision. Within the near-range environment, these insects use their long antennae to detect obstacles and gather tactile information, enabling them to grasp contacted objects with their front legs. However, for far-range orientation, they may integrate mechanosensory inputs with additional cues from non-contact modalities, including olfaction. Here we focus on olfactory processing in stick insects, aiming to establish the stick insect as a model to study both, near-range (tactile) and far-range (olfactory, wind, sound) sensory integration and their effects on motor control. As a first step, we established long-term multi-unit recordings of neurons in the primary olfactory neuropile, the antennal lobe (AL) to confirm general principles of odour processing in insects. Indeed, our recordings revealed that hexanal, i.e. the smell of freshly cut leaves, induced a distinct pattern of activity within the AL network, corresponding to its relevance to a herbivore and confirming the significance of the AL in extracting behaviourally relevant olfactory information. Furthermore, we discovered mechanically induced activity in AL neurons likely related to airborne vibration such as sound, highlighting that both olfactory and mechanical stimuli are processed within the AL, with a substantial fraction of neurons responsive to both modalities.
• Form informs function: innervation patterns of projection neurons correspond to response profiles of mushroom body output neurons during olfactory-visual integration. Aliyam Veetil Zyndheen, Athil Althaf; Nicolaidou, Andrea Rafaela; Groh, Claudia; Dürr, Volker; Rössler, Wolfgang; Strube-Bloss, Martin (2026). Volume 17 - 2026

  Several studies have shown that honeybees have a remarkable ability to detect, learn, and discriminate different floral qualities such as colour patterns and odour bouquets. However, how they integrate this multi-sensory information at the neuronal level is less understood. The sites for multi-sensory convergence in honeybees and other insects are the mushroom bodies (MB). In this study, we focus on MB output neurons (MBON) to examine how different MBONs process olfactory, visual, and olfactory-visual compound stimuli using extracellular multi-unit recordings. By analysing functional responses, we defined three MBON subpopulations: “bimodal”, “unimodal light”, and “unimodal odour”. All three groups exhibit compound-mediated modulation in both directions, meaning that compared to the unimodal response, the response strength to the compound can be either higher or lower. This suggests the presence of a separate compound-activated pathway, especially for unimodal MBONs. Comparing our results to the morphology of the MB input regions, the calyces, which are both divided into the lip (olfaction), collar (vision), and the basal ring (bimodal), we provide evidence that the latter region might play a key role in compound signalling. By establishing a model based on information flow through the MB circuitry, we reproduced the functional phenotypes exhibited by the different MBON types.

• An agent-based model of Trypanosoma brucei social motility to explore determinants of colony pattern formation. Kuhn, Andreas; Krüger, Timothy; Engstler, Markus; Fischer, Sabine C. (2026). 22(8) 1–33.

  In vitro colonies of the unicellular parasite Trypanosoma brucei expand radially and establish fingering instabilities, a collective behavior known as social motility. The underlying mechanisms are thought to involve single-cell motility, chemical communication among cells, and mechanical interactions with the liquid boundary, but their relative contributions remain unclear. We aimed to determine which of the mechanisms are necessary to quantitatively reproduce the morphological characteristics of social motility. We developed a two-dimensional agent-based model that simulates colonies of 105−106 cells at single-cell resolution—two to four orders of magnitude larger than previous models. Cells are represented as point particles executing directional random walks with auto-chemotactic alignment and exponential colony growth. The colony boundary is modelled using a grid-based approach in which interactions with agents can locally weaken and expand it. The model was quantitatively evaluated by applying our previously established morphology metrics. We show quantitative agreement of the simulation results and experimental data in terms of colony morphology. Parameter exploration revealed that finger formation arises within a narrow range of trypanosome motility parameters that balance stochasticity and alignment, while boundary conditions modulate the speed of colony expansion. The diffusion coefficient of the chemotactic signal is the key determinant of pattern formation. Realistic behavior occurs at 2×10−11 – 10-10 m2/s which corresponds to molecules of 12.1–1690 kDa. These results demonstrate that complex colony morphologies can emerge from minimal cell-level rules, suggesting testable hypotheses for the molecular drivers of trypanosome social motility. Furthermore, our approach provides a framework for dissecting the interplay between motility, signaling, and mechanical confinement in other microbial systems exhibiting collective behavior.

  Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of oral cancers (OC) to date have focused predominantly on European Ancestry (EA) populations. India faces an excess burden of OC, but the most common site of occurrence is the cancer of the buccal mucosa, which is relatively rare in EA populations. We conducted a GWAS of buccal mucosa cancer (BMC) comprising 2,160 BMC cases and 2,325 controls from different geographical locations in India. Single-SNP association tests detected one novel locus (6q27) and one novel signal within the known OC risk locus 5p13.33, at the genome-wide significance level (P-value<510 47 ). We additionally conducted a GWAS of 397 BMC cases and 439 controls from Taiwan and performed multi-ancestry GWAS meta-analysis of OC on 5255 cases and 8748 controls across EA, Indian and Taiwanese populations. We identified a novel risk locus harbouring the tumour suppressor gene NOTCH1 through a gene-level analysis of the multi-ancestry GWAS data. Pathway analysis suggested that PD-1 signalling, and Interferon Gamma Signalling may be important in the aetiology of BMC. Within data from the Indian BMC GWAS, we further identified statistically significant evidence of both multiplicative interactions (P-value=0.026) indicating stronger polygenic risk of BMC among individuals with history of chewing tobacco compared to those without. Our study provides insights into the etiologies of BMC in India, highlighting both its similarities and differences with other types of oral cavity cancers, as well as the interactions between polygenic gene score and tobacco chewing.

  Summary Background Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of oral cancers (OC) to date have focused predominantly on European Ancestry (EA) populations. India faces an excess burden of OC, but the most common is the buccal mucosa cancer (BMC), which is relatively rare in EA populations. Methods We conducted a GWAS comprising 2160 BMC cases and 2325 controls from different geographical locations in India. We additionally conducted a GWAS of 397 BMC cases and 439 controls from Taiwan and performed multi-ancestry GWAS meta-analysis of OC on 5255 cases and 8748 controls across EA, Indian and Taiwanese populations. Findings Single SNP analysis of the Indian GWAS discovered a risk locus at 6q27 conferring susceptibility specifically to BMC and identified multiple independent association signals within known OC loci 5p15.33 and 6p21.32 (HLA region). Further, gene-level analysis of multi-ancestry GWAS identified the tumour suppressor gene NOTCH1 as an OC locus. Using data from the Indian BMC GWAS, we further identified statistically significant evidence of multiplicative interactions (P-value = 0.031 likelihood-ratio test (LRT)) between polygenic risk of BMC and tobacco chewing habit, indicating stronger relative-risk associated with genetic predisposition for non-users compared to chewers. Interpretation Our study provides insights into the aetiologies of BMC in India, highlighting both its similarities and differences with other types of oral cavity cancers, as well as the interactions between polygenic risk and tobacco chewing.

  4007Background: Locally advanced Gallbladder cancers (LAGBC)initially deemed not suitable for R0 resection receive either neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT)or neoadjuvant chemoradiation (NACRT)downstaging for resection and to improve outcomes. Methods: This is a randomized phase 3 trial (NCT02867865) that included fit patients with LAGBC adenocarcinoma,. T3/T4 with liver infiltration ( > 2cm, < 5cm); N1 nodal status; obstructive jaundice (type I/II biliary obstruction) ;duodenal or colonic abutment with no mucosal infiltration , < 180°vascular involvement. The patients were randomized (1:1) to NACT arm (Gemcitabine + platinum for four cycles) versus NACRT arm (55 -57Gy with concurrent gemcitabine followed by two cycles of chemotherapy) and were then evaluated for surgery. A sample size of 314 patients was required to detect a 5.5 months difference (11 mo.to 16.5 mo in the test arm) with median overall survival (OS) as the primary endpoint (hazard ratio, 0.7; 2-sided α = 0.05; ? = 0.2). Secondary endpoints were event free survival (EFS),R0 resection rates and post-operative complication rates. Due to slow accrual Institutional Ethics committee requested the investigators for interim analysis and approval was obtained for the same. Results: From Oct 2016 to Sept 2024, 124 patients (64 NACT, 60 NACTRT)were enrolled at 2 centers. At the time of analysis 93 OS events were observed in 124 patients. Median follow-up was 62 (range 6.9-94) months. More number of patients underwent R0 resection in NACRT than NACT arm 51.6 vs 29.7% (p = 0.01) In the intention to treat analysis, the NACTRT arm showed improved OS compared to the NACT arm [21.8 mo.vs.10.1 mo. p = 0.006]. EFS was 10.6 mo. vs 4.9 months, p = 0.006]. Similar results were noted in the per protocol analysis(n = 110). Clavien Dindo postoperative morbidity of grade 3 and above was 4/22 (18.18%) in NACT arm vs 9/32(28.12%) in NACRT arm (p = 0.30). The interim analysis demonstrated a significant improvement in efficacy in the NACRT arm. Based on the current data, the conditional power was calculated to be 99.96%. Conclusions: This trial demonstrates that the addition of concurrent chemoradiation to chemotherapy improves overall survival and resection rates in patients with locally advanced gallbladder cancers. These results provide important evidence to guide treatment decisions in this traditionally difficult to treat set of gallbladder cancers. Clinical trial information: NCT02867865.

• Accreditation, Patient Safety, Risk management, Quality Assurance, Audit P0024 A study on impact of internal quality control lot change on measurement uncertainty on routine biochemistry parameters in a clinical biochemistry laboratory. Asia, Priyanka (2025). 63(Special Suppl.) S118.

  BACKGROUND-AIM The concept of measurement uncertainty represents an advanced approach in quality assurance, although the identification and measurement of errors have long been fundamental aspects of quality management in clinical biochemistry laboratories. Defining and calculating uncertainty ranges offers valuable insight into the extent of variation in measurements. According to ISO 15189:2012 standards, uncertainty calculations shall focus solely on sources of uncertainty during the analytical phase. The imprecision data obtained from the routine application of internal quality control is recommended as the quantitative estimate of the uncertainty of measurement. Uncertainty may be influenced by routine changes like reagent batches, internal quality control (IQC) lots, different operators, new operators, and scheduled instrument maintenance. In case of all these scenarios, it is important to recalculate it. This study evaluated the impact of IQC lot change on expanded measurement uncertainty (MU) on routine biochemistry parameters. METHODS The MU of routine clinical biochemistry parameters was estimated using the top-down approach using (IQC) data. IQC data of bilevel control material, which were run consecutively in one year's duration for six months each, were observed. The mean, standard deviation (SD), and coefficient of variation percentage (CV%) were retrieved from quality control data software. The MU was calculated from CV% using the formula MU = CV% * 1.96. The mean, SD, and MU were compared for the two different lot control materials with the combined MU obtained from the whole data set. RESULTS The variation in MU was significant for most of the analytes when MU of both lots was compared separately with combined MU. The variation of MU was also evident when data from two different lots of IQC was evaluated. CONCLUSIONS MU calculated by using IQC data is one of the practical approaches used in clinical biochemistry laboratories to measure the uncertainties associated with the analytes. However, it is important to consider the lot changes of IQC material to estimate reliable MU.
• A cross-sectional study on contact lens casehygiene: awareness and compliance amongtertiary eye care patients. Asma", "Ankur Banik" "Aayushma Chaudhary" "Mohammadhu Riswan (2025). 4(1) 6.

  Aim: This study aimed to assess patient compliance with contact lens storage case (CLSC) hygiene, focusing on cleaning practices, replacement frequency, and storage methods. It also evaluated the type of instructions received from eye care professionals and the overall awareness of CLSC care among wearers visiting a tertiary eye care hospital. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a custom-designed, self-reported questionnaire developed in Google Forms to collect information on contact lens use, storage case hygiene practices, replacement habits, and adherence to recommended care protocols. The survey was disseminated via email and social media platforms and administered to 103 participants before leaving the outpatient department. Collected responses were analyzed to identify patterns, compliance levels, and associated risk perceptions. Results: A total of 103 participants (age range: 16–32 years; mean: 24.68 ± 3.33 years) were included. Most used monthly replacement silicone hydrogel lenses and multipurpose solutions (MPSs). While 78.6% reported cleaning their cases, 21.4% did not. MPS was the most common cleaning agent (39.8%), though 18.4% used water and soap. Only 18.4% replaced their cases monthly, and 25.2% every 1–3 months. Of those who received guidance (93.2%), 44.7% received it orally, while 15.5% were unsure of the format. Perceived risk was significantly associated with gender (P < 0.001 for hand washing) but not with education level or case cleaning (P > 0.5).

• PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF FINGERPRINTING EXTRACTION ALGORITHM IN VIDEO COPY DETECTION SYSTEM. Rubini, R.Gnana; Selvy, P.Tamije; Prabha, P.Anantha (2012). 2(1) 45–55.

  A video fingerprint is a recognizer that is derived from a piece of video content. The video fingerprinting methods obtain unique features of a video that differentiates one video clip from another. It aims to identify whether a query video segment is a copy of video from the video database or not based on the signature of the video. It is difficult to find whether a video is a copied video or a similar video, since the features of the content are very similar from one video to the other. The main focus of this paper is to detect that the query video is present in the video database with robustness depending on the content of video and also by fast search of fingerprints. The Fingerprint Extraction Algorithm and Fast Search Algorithms are adopted in this paper to achieve robust, fast, efficient and accurate video copy detection. As a first step, the Fingerprint Extraction algorithm is employed which extracts a fingerprint through the features from the image content of video. The images are represented as Temporally Informative Representative Images (TIRI). Then, the second step is to find the presence of copy of a query video in a video database, in which a close match of its fingerprint in the corresponding fingerprint database is searched using inverted-filebased method. The proposed system is tested against various attacks like noise, brightness, contrast, rotation and frame drop. Thus the performance of the proposed system on an average shows high true positive rate of 98% and low false positive rate of 1.3% for different attacks.

  With the advance of Web Services technologies and the mergence of Web Services into the information space, tremendous opportunities for empowering users and organizations appear in various application domains including electronic commerce, travel, intelligence information gathering and analysis, health care, digital government, etc. However, the technology to organize, search, integrate these Web Services has not kept pace with the rapid growth of the available information space. The number of Web Services to be integrated may be large and continuously changing. The ubiquitous need for Web Services integration across heterogeneous information sources pushed Web Services providers to join each others into Web Services Communities. Different approaches related to the specification, management and querying of a community were proposed. Whoever, current approaches for managing and querying Web Services Communities’ lack of a general formal and clear design. Hence, we propose a framewok which enables the community management then allows community members to share reusable fragments of kow-how in order to optimize query processing among communities .To demonstrate the viability of our approach, we propose a health care community infrastructure for supporting a community management and querying as well as a prototype application that utilizes communities.
