Post COVID-19 sequelae are a constellation of symptoms often reported after recovering from COVID-19. There is a need to better understand the clinical spectrum and long-term course of this clinical entity. The aim of this study is to describe the clinical features and risk factors of post COVID-19 sequelae in the North Indian population. This prospective observational study was conducted at a tertiary healthcare centre in Northern India between October 2020 and February 2021. Patients aged >18 years with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 were recruited after at least two weeks of diagnosis, and details were captured. A total of 1234 patients were recruited and followed up for a median duration of 91 days (IQR: 45-181 days). Among them, 495 (40.1%) had persistent symptoms post-discharge or recovery. In 223 (18.1%) patients, the symptoms resolved within four weeks; 150 (12.1%) patients had symptoms till 12 weeks, and 122 (9.9%) patients had symptoms beyond 12 weeks of diagnosis/symptom-onset of COVID-19. Most common symptoms included myalgia (10.9%), fatigue (5.5%), shortness of breath (6.1%), cough (2.1%), insomnia (1.4%), mood disturbances (0.48%) and anxiety (0.6%). Patients who were hospitalized were more likely to report fatigue as a feature of long COVID. Hypothyroidism (OR: 4.13, 95% CI: 2.2-7.6, p-value < 0.001) and hypoxia (SpO2 ≤ 93%) (OR: 1.7, 95% CI: 1.1-2.4, p-value 0.012) were identified as risk factors for long COVID sequelae. In conclusion, long COVID symptoms were common (22%), and 9.9% had the post COVID-19 syndrome. Myalgias, fatigue and dyspnoea were common symptoms. Patients with hypothyroidism and hypoxia during acute illness were at higher risk of long COVID.

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a form of primary hyperlipoproteinemia characterized by the presence of high concentrations of serum low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, increased tendency to form xanthomas and early onset of coronary artery disease. This disease is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by defects in the gene that encode for the LDL receptor. Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia is a rare occurrence and here we report a case of an 18-year-old girl with familial hypercholesterolemia treated with anti-lipidemic drugs and controlled only with LDL apheresis. The patient expired after 3 months highlighting the difficulties in management due to economic constraints in a resource limited setting in spite of availability of effective therapy.

Mucormycosis is an uncommon aggressive fungal infection usually seen in immunocompromised hosts or patients with burns and trauma. The common presentations include rhino-orbital-cerebral and pulmonary involvement. Osteoarticular involvement is a rare presentation of this disease. We present two cases of osteoarticular mucormycosis of pelvis and long bones of the lower limb, one in a patient with burn injury and other one in a patient with chronic granulomatous disease, hitherto a rarely reported association. Delayed diagnosis in a setting where tuberculosis is a common cause of chronic osteomyelitis, challenges in medical and surgical management of these patients are discussed in this report.

Diplotaxis muralisの細胞質(mur型細胞質)を持つBrassicaの細胞質雄性不稔性の稔性回復遺伝子を同定するため、mur型細胞質雄性不稔性のブロッコリーと稔性回復遺伝子を持つカイラン(Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra)のF_2集団を用い、両親間で多型を示すDNAマーカーを作成して遺伝子型を分析することにより、昨年度稔性回復遺伝子を第1連鎖群にマッピングした。今年度は、稔性回復遺伝子が含まれる第1連鎖群のゲノム領域のシンテニーを解析し、これまでいくつかの種で稔性回復遺伝子として報告されてきたpentatricopeptide(PPR)モチーフを持つ遺伝子を、その領域に3つ見出すことができた。その遺伝子発現を解析したところ、稔性回復系統と不稔性回復系統で発現量に差が見られたことから、それらが稔性回復遺伝子の候補と考えられた。これらの結果を論文にまとめ、投稿中である。同研究室内の別の学生が行っているB.oleraceaの耐病性のQTL解析のためにSNPマーカー作成を協力し、これら2つの研究で得られた連鎖地図を統合することによって、320マーカーからなるB.oleraceaの連鎖地図を構築した。カイランの白花とブロッコリーの黄花は1遺伝子によって決定されるが、白花は黄花に対し優性である。この遺伝子も第1連鎖群にあり、稔性回復遺伝子とは25cM離れていることを見出した。色素合成に関わる酵素の遺伝子を分析したが、カイランとブロッコリーで変異がない、あるいはDNA塩基配列に変異があっても、マッピングした位置に座乗しないなどのため、この特性に関わる遺伝子の候補は見出されなかった。
