Pyrazoline is a heterocyclic compound known for its pharmacological spectrum and anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties. Recent studies have highlighted its potential in modulating key pathways involved in PD, such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation, all of which are central to the progression of Parkinson's disease. These derivatives have shown promise in preclinical models by mitigating neuronal damage and preserving motor function, making them attractive candidates for further research.

The supraclavicular brachial plexus block offers reliable anesthesia for such procedures. Newer local anesthetics such as levobupivacaine and ropivacaine have been introduced to reduce cardiotoxicity concerns associated with bupivacaine while maintaining efficacy. This study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy and hemodynamic effects of 0.5% levobupivacaine versus 0.5% ropivacaine in ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks. Methods: A prospective, randomized, double-blind comparative study was conducted on 60 ASA grade I and II patients aged 20–60 years undergoing elective upper limb surgery. Patients were randomized into two groups: Group L received 0.5% levobupivacaine, and Group R received 0.5% ropivacaine via ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block. The onset and duration of sensory and motor blockade, time to first rescue analgesia, and intraoperative hemodynamic parameters (heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation) were recorded and analyzed. Results: Group L (levobupivacaine) demonstrated significantly earlier onset of sensory (11.13 ± 1.00 min) and motor blockade (13.20 ± 1.12 min) compared to Group R (ropivacaine) with sensory onset of 13.60 ± 0.81 min and motor onset of 15.60 ± 0.81 min (p=0.0001). Duration of both sensory and motor blockade was longer in Group L. Time to first rescue analgesia was also significantly prolonged in Group L (11.80 ± 0.40 hours) versus Group R (10.20 ± 0.55 hours) (p=0.0001). Hemodynamic parameters remained stable and comparable between groups throughout the study with no significant adverse events. Conclusions: 0.5% levobupivacaine provides faster onset, longer duration of sensory and motor blockade, and prolonged postoperative analgesia compared to 0.5% ropivacaine in ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block, without significant hemodynamic compromise. Levobupivacaine is thus an effective and safe option for upper limb regional anesthesia.</p> 2025-06-14T00:00:00+03:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Authors https://www.ijprt.org/index.php/pub/article/view/659 Anatomical Variations of Renal Vessels- A Cadaveric Study with Clinical Relevance 2025-07-01T12:19:01+03:00 Dr Amudalapalli S Narayana drsiva.anatomy@gmail.com Dr Kiran Kumar P drsiva.anatomy@gmail.com Dr Anitha T drsiva.anatomy@gmail.com <p>Introduction: Blood supply to the kidneys is characterized by more frequent presence of variations in arteries and veins supplying them. Normally each kidney is supplied by single renal artery and drained by single renal vein. Variation in the number, origin, pathway and branching pattern of renal arteries is common. Frequently seen anatomical variation is additional renal artery. Aim: To identify the presence of variations of renal vessels in the human cadavers. Material and methods: An observational cadaveric study was conducted on 80 kidneys from 40 formalin-fixed human cadavers from 2019 to 2025 in the Department of Anatomy, Chalmeda Anandarao institute of medical sciences, Karimnagar, Telangana, India. The number of cadavers showing variations of renal vessels was determined. Results: The study included 80 kidneys from 40 formalin-fixed human cadavers. Eight (20%) cadavers were found to have variations in renal vessels while 32 (80%) cadavers show presence of single renal vessel going to each kidney. The double renal artery variations were present bilaterally in 01 (2.5%) cadaver and aberrant renal artery in 02 (5%) cadavers but both are in left side. The superior polar artery was present in 01 (2.5%) cadaver right side and inferior polar artery was present in 01 (2.5%) cadaver left side. Early divisions of renal artery were present in 2 (5%) cadavers. Accessory renal vein were present in right side 1 (2.5%) cadaver. Conclusion: Variations of renal vessels supplying to the kidneys it is necessary to have prior knowledge of them as now a day’s more number of patients is undergoing renal transplants, angiography procedures. The knowledge of these variations is also useful for treatment of renal trauma and tumors.</p> 2025-07-01T00:00:00+03:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Authors https://www.ijprt.org/index.php/pub/article/view/661 Foix–Chavany Marie syndrome-A rare entity 2025-07-02T14:13:55+03:00 Dr.M.Deep Tejesh deeptejesh2015@gmail.com Dr. Uma M Anand Kumar deeptejesh2015@gmail.com Dr.Saranya Masilamani deeptejesh2015@gmail.com Dr.Avula Sasidhar Reddy deeptejesh2015@gmail.com <p>Foix–Chavany Marie syndrome (FCMS), is a rare cortical type of pseudobulbar palsy that results in paralysis of orofaciopharyngeal muscles, wwhilethe autonomic, involuntary, and reflexive functions of the above muscles are preserved.

This review summarizes recent advances (2020–2024) and emerging trends in green chemistry, highlighting how new catalysts, solvents, and biotechnologies are enabling cleaner processes. Key topics include alternative solvents (water, supercritical CO₂, ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents), novel catalysts (metal, photocatalytic, and biocatalytic systems), and renewable feedstocks (biomass, CO₂). We discuss case studies such as plant-based PET (“Plant Bottle”) and biodegradable polymers, and note how industry adoption of GC principles has already reduced waste and emissions. We also examine current challenges – economic, regulatory, and technical barriers that slow implementation – and outline future directions (AI-driven process design, electrification of synthesis, circular economy).

Ravindranath Reddy editorinchief.ijprt@gmail.com Dr. Grace Aparanji editorinchief.ijprt@gmail.com Dr. D. Nagarjuna editorinchief.ijprt@gmail.com <p>Introduction: Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome is defined by the combination of a nephrotic syndrome (proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema) and non-specific histological abnormalities of the kidney. The prevalence of NS is estimated at 2 to 7 per 100,000 children around the world. Children between 2 to 7 years of age get affected by this condition more often, particularly boys.</p> <p>Materials and Methods: A Retrospective study of hospital records. Case sheets of children admitted in department of pediatrics, Government General Hospital, Kurnool with nephrotic children above the age of 10 years From January 2020 to December 2024. Children aged more than 10 years at onset fulfilled in the diagnostic criteria for nephrotic syndrome were included in the study. Secondary causes of nephrotic syndrome. (eg:SLE, Hepatitis B/C, Diabetic mellitus) were excluded from the study. Clinical data including age at onset, gender, presenting sympotoms and laboratory findings will be recorded histopathlogical finding will be categorized. Treatment response to steroids will be evaluated.</p> <p>Results: The study included 108 children who were followed for a minimum duration of one year. The mean (±sd) age of the population was 13.3 (±1.4) years. The gender distribution of the population was males accounting for 66.7% and females at 33.3%. Hypertension was observed in 8(14.8%). Haematuria in microscopy was found in 28 (51.9%) study participants. Anti-Nuclear Antibodies investigation was done for 50 children and only 3(5.6%) were found to be positive. After the six weeks of steroidal therapy complete remission was found in 58 (53.7%) participants. No remission and partial remission were observed in 26 (24.1%) and 24 (22.2%) members of the study population respectively. Based on the response to steroidal therapy the participants were diagnostically classified as SRNS in 52 (48.1%) children followed SSNS in 50 (46.29%) children.</p> <p>Conclusion: In our study most of the patients were diagnosed with SRNS and SSNS, and most common histological findings were MCNS, MES HC, FSGS and MESPGN. Late onset NS has higher frequency of atypical features, steroid resistance, and histopathology showing lesions other than MCD.
