The paper studies the concept of rotary type stroke-less engine consisting of six vanes fixed on splined eccentric rotor with integrated shaft mounted on stator. The chosen suitable sizes of diameter and length are 100, 70 and 70 mm for stator, rotor and vanes, respectively. Computer-aided modeling of all components along with assembly of engine has been done using Creo-Pro engineer software by choosing different vane angles from 0 to 360° at 5° interval. Various sizes of stator and rotor diameter were chosen, and then the volumes and pressure of different zones along the rotor were recorded for getting the optimized value of compression ratio and cubic capacity. The simulation analysis with and without combustion of air fuel mixture, using Excel tool, was carried out to find the variation of pressure versus vane angle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper describes the development of sub models for combustion analysis in direct injection (DI) diesel engine fuelled with Pongamia Pinnata biodiesel-diesel blend as a fuel. In the present study, the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code FLUENT was used to model a complex combustion phenomenon in Compression Ignition (CI) engine. The experiments were performed on a single cylinder direct injection diesel engine, with a full load condition at a constant speed of 1500 rpm. Combustion parameters, such as cylinder pressure and heat release rate, were obtained from experimental data. The numerical modeling was solved by CFD code Fluent, taking into account the effect of turbulence. For modeling turbulence Renormalization Group Theory (RNG) k-ε model was used. The sub models such as droplet collision model and Taylor Analogy Breakup (TAB) model were used for spray modeling. Modeling in cylinder combustion, species transport and finite rate chemistry model were used. The results obtained from modeling were compared with experimental investigation. The peak modeling heat release rate was 30 J/s whereas the experimental peak heat release rate was 25 J/s at 364 degree CA for biodiesel. Similarly, for the diesel peak modelling, the heat release rate was 34.41 J/s whereas the experimental peak heat release rate was 27 J/s at 364 degree CA. Simulated results including the in-cylinder pressure, rate of pressure rise and heat release rate profiles have been analysed. A good agreement between the modelling and experimental data ensures the accuracy of the numerical predictions collected in this work. Including peak values of in-cylinder pressure, rate of pressure rise and heat release rate shows a good agreement between modelling and the measured data. All in all, this study demonstrates the feasibility of integrating a compact multi-component surrogate fuel mechanism with CFD to elucidate the in-cylinder combustion of biodiesel fuels.

The paper describes a vehicle steering knuckle undergoing time-varying loadings during its service life. Fatigue behavior is, therefore, a key consideration in its design and performance evaluation. This paper is aimed to assess fatigue life and compare fatigue performance of steering knuckles made from three materials of different manufacturing processes. These include forged steel, cast aluminum, and cast iron knuckles. In light of the high volume of forged steel vehicle components, the forging process was considered as base for investigation. Static as well as baseline cyclic deformation and fatigue properties were obtained and compared. The paper envisages that in addition, referring a number of load-controlled fatigue component tests conducted for the forged steel and cast aluminum knuckles. Finite element models of the steering knuckles were also analyzed to obtain stress distributions in each component. Based on the results of component testing and finite element analysis, fatigue behaviors of the three materials and manufacturing processes are then compared. The paper concludes with that forged steel knuckle exhibits superior fatigue behavior, compared to the cast iron and cast aluminum knuckles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study discusses the performance and combustion characteristics of a direct injection diesel engine fueled with Jatropha methyl ester (JME). In order to determine the performance and combustion characteristics, the experiments were conducted at the constant speed mode (1500rpm) under the full load condition of the engine on a single cylinder 4-stroke CI engine. The results indicate that when the test engine is fuelled with JME, the engine performance slightly weakens, the combustion characteristics slightly change when compared to a petroleum based diesel fuel. The biodiesel causes reduction in carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbon (HC) emissions, but they cause increases in nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. The useful brake power obtained is similar to diesel fuel for all loads. The oxygen content in the exhaust is more with JME blend due to the fact that fuel itself contains oxygen .The trend of oxygen emission is similar to diesel fuel for all loads. Since JME contains 11% oxygen by weight and this oxygen helps to oxidize the combustion products in the cylinder, especially in rich zones, the addition of JME decreases CO emission. Although there has not been a significant difference in NOX emissions at part load. NOx is slightly increased due to the higher combustion temperature and the presence of fuel oxygen with the blend at full load. JME as a new Biodiesel and its blends can be used in diesel engines without any engine modification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Rotator cuff (RC) tears are a common source of pain and decreased shoulder strength. Muscle length is known to affect muscle strength, and therefore evaluating changes in supraspinatus muscle length associated with RC pathology, surgical repair, and post-operative recovery may provide insights into functional deficits. Our objective was to develop a reliable MRI-based approach for assessing supraspinatus muscle length. Using a new semi-automated approach for identifying 3D location of the muscle-tendon junction (MTJ), supraspinatus muscle length was calculated as the sum of MTJ distance (distance between 3D MTJ position and glenoid plane) and supraspinatus fossa length (distance between root of the scapular spine and glenoid plane). Inter- and intra-operator reliability of this technique were assessed with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and found to be excellent (ICCs > 0.96). Muscle lengths of 6 patients were determined before RC repair surgery and at 3- and 12-months post-surgery. Changes in normalized muscle length (muscle length as a percentage of pre-surgical muscle length) at 3 months post-surgery varied considerably across patients (16.1 % increase to 7.0 % decrease) but decreased in all patients from 3- to 12-months post-surgery (0.3 % to 17.2 %). This study developed a novel and reliable approach for quantifying supraspinatus muscle length and provided preliminary demonstration of its utility by assessing muscle length changes associated with RC pathology and surgical repair. Future studies can use this technique to evaluate changes over time in supraspinatus muscle length in response to clinical intervention, and associations between muscle length and shoulder function., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024.

- Abstract
Tendinopathies account for 30% of 102 million annual musculoskeletal injuries occurring annually in the United States. Current treatments, like dry needling, induce microdamage to promote healing but produce mixed success rates. Previously, we showed focused ultrasound can noninvasively create microdamage while preserving mechanical properties in ex vivo murine tendons. This present study compared growth factor, histological, and mechanical effects after focused ultrasound or dry needling treatments in an in vivo murine tendon injury model. Partial Achilles tenotomy was performed in 26 rats. One-week postsurgery, tendons were treated with focused ultrasound (1.5 MHz, 1-ms pulses at 10 Hz for 106 s, p
+ = 49 MPa, p- = 19 MPa) or dry needling (30 G needle, 5 fenestrations over 20 s) and survived for 1 additional week. Blood was collected immediately before and after treatment and before euthanasia; plasma was assayed for growth factors. Treated tendons and contralateral controls were harvested for histology or mechanical testing. No differences were found between treatments in release of insulin growth factor 1 and transforming growth factor beta; vascular endothelial growth factor A concentrations were too low for detection. Histologically, focused ultrasound and dry needling tendons displayed localized fibroblast infiltration without collagen proliferation with no detectable differences between treatments. Mechanically, stiffness and percent relaxation of dry needling tendons were lower than controls (p = 0.0041, p = 0.0441, respectively), whereas stiffness and percent relaxation of focused ultrasound tendons were not different from controls. These results suggest focused ultrasound should be studied further to determine how this modality can be leveraged as a therapy for tendinopathies., (© 2023 The Authors.

- Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging provides deep tissue molecular imaging of chromophores with optical absorption contrast and ultrasonic resolution. Present PA imaging techniques are predominantly limited to one 2D plane per acquisition. 2D ultrasound transducers, required for real-time 3D PA imaging, are high-cost, complex to fabricate and have limited scalability in design. We present novel PCB-based 2D matrix ultrasound transducer arrays that are capable of being bulk manufactured at low-cost without using laborious ultrasound fabrication tools. The 2D ultrasound array specifications are easily scalable with respect to widely available PCB design and fabrication tools at low cost. To demonstrate scalability, we fabricated low (11 MHz) frequency 8x8 matrix array and high (40 MHz) frequency 4x4 matrix array by directly bonding an undiced polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) piezoelectric material of desired thickness to the custom designed PCB substrate. Characterization results demonstrate wideband PA receive sensitivity for both low (87%) and high (188%) frequency arrays. Volumetric PA imaging results of light absorbing targets inside optical scattering medium demonstrate improved spatial resolution and field of view with increase in aperture size., Competing Interests: Conflicts of Interest The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest.

- Abstract
Central placenta previa is generally managed by caesarean section, uterotonic drugs, hemostatic sutures, and hemostatic balloon tamponade, and it usually ends in peripartum hysterectomy, with an incidence of 4% along with an increased incidence of maternal and neonatal morbidity or mortality. Selective uterine artery embolization (UAE) helps to prevent these complications while preserving future fertility. A 32-year-old patient was diagnosed as a case of a previous section with central placenta previa with accreta at 38 weeks and was planned for an elective caesarean section. A prophylactic selective bilateral internal iliac artery cannulation under sonographic guidance and subsequent cannulation and embolisation of bilateral uterine arteries under fluoroscopic guidance was done. It reduced the massive blood transfusions and operative time, preserved fertility without any maternal or foetal morbidity or mortality, and no other complications were reported., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright © 2023, Gattani et al.)

- Abstract
Computational musculoskeletal modeling is useful for understanding upper extremity biomechanics, especially when in vivo tests are unfeasible. A musculoskeletal model of the upper limb with increased biofidelity was developed by including humeral head translation (HHT) and ligaments. The model was validated and ligament contribution and effect of shoulder (thoracohumeral) elevation on HHT was evaluated. Humerus translated superiorly with increased elevation, with translations closely matching (avg. difference 2.83 mm) previous in vitro studies. HHT and ligament inclusion in the model will improve biomechanical predictions of upper extremity movements and study of conditions, like subacromial impingement, rotator cuff tear, or shoulder instability.

- Abstract
Background: Rotator cuff tears are common in older adults, negatively affecting function. Previous simulation-based studies reported more posterior and superior oriented glenohumeral loading with increased cuff tear severity and task performance, although corresponding muscle compensation strategies are unclear. Our objective is to determine how shoulder muscle forces change with increased rotator cuff tear severity during functional task performance., Methods: Eight musculoskeletal models of increasing tear severity were developed to represent no rotator cuff tear to massive three-tendon tears. Simulations were performed using each combination of model and kinematics for five functional tasks. Individual muscle forces were averaged for each task and tear severity, then normalized by the sum of the muscle forces across the shoulder. Forces were compared across tear severity and muscle., Findings: For muscle force contribution, interactions between tear severity and muscle and a main effect of muscle were seen for all tasks (P < 0.0001). Middle deltoid increased force contribution by >10% in the greatest tear severity model compared to no cuff tear model for all tasks (all P < 0.0001). Teres minor contribution increased by 7.7%, 5.6%, and 11% in the greatest tear severity model compared to the no cuff tear model for forward reach, axilla wash, and upward reach 105° tasks, respectively (all P < 0.0001)., Interpretation: Functional tasks elicit compensatory responses from uninjured muscles following severe cuff tears, notably in middle deltoid and teres minor, leading to posterior-superior glenohumeral loading. The muscles are potential targets for strengthening to avoid injury from sustained increased muscle force., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare the following financial interests/personal relationships which may be considered as potential competing interests: We declare that author Armstrong serves as a consultant for Zimmer Biomet, Globus Medical, Inc., and Aevumed, Inc.

- Abstract
Abstract: Tendon injury is prevalent and costly in the United States, comprising 45% of the 66 million musculoskeletal injuries and costing $114 billion annually. Surgical and therapeutic methods, such as arthroscopic surgery, dry needling, and physical therapy, produce mixed success in reintroducing a healing response in tendinopathy due in part to inconsistent dosing and monitoring. Ultrasound is one therapeutic modality that has been shown to noninvasively induce bioeffects in tendon that may help promote healing. However, results from this modality have also been mixed. This review compares the current state of the field in therapeutic ultrasound and shockwave therapy, including low-intensity therapeutic ultrasound, extracorporeal shockwave therapy, and radial shockwave therapy, and evaluates the efficacy in treating tendinopathies with ultrasound. We found that the mixed successes may be attributed to the wide variety of achievable parameters within each broader treatment type and the lack of standardization in measurements and reporting. Despite mixed outcomes, all three therapies show potential as an alternative therapy with lower-risk adverse effects than more invasive methods like surgery. There is currently insufficient evidence to conclude which ultrasound modality or settings are most effective. More research is needed to understand the healing effects of these different therapeutic ultrasound and shockwave modalities., Competing Interests: Financial disclosure statements have been obtained, and no conflicts of interest have been reported by the authors or by any individuals in control of the content of this article., (Copyright © 2021 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.

- Abstract
The elastic modulus, or slope of the stress-strain curve, is an important metric for evaluating tissue functionality, particularly for load-bearing tissues such as tendon. The applied force can be tracked directly from a mechanical testing system and converted to stress using the tissue cross-sectional area; however, strain can only be calculated in post-processing by tracking tissue displacement from video collected during mechanical testing. Manual tracking of Verhoeff stain lines pre-marked on the tissue is time-consuming and highly dependent upon the user. This paper details the development and testing of an automated processing method for strain calculations using Harris corner detection. The automated and manual methods were compared in a dataset consisting of 97 rat tendons (48 Achilles tendons, 49 supraspinatus tendons), divided into ten subgroups for evaluating the effects of different therapies on tendon mechanical properties. The comparison showed that average percent differences between the approaches were 0.89% and -2.10% for Achilles and supraspinatus tendons, respectively. The automated approach reduced processing time by 83% and produced similar results to the manual method when comparing the different subgroups. This automated approach to track tissue displacements and calculate elastic modulus improves post-processing time while simultaneously minimizing user dependency., (© 2022.

- Abstract
Tendon injuries are extremely common, resulting in mechanically weaker tendons that could lead to tendon rupture. Dry needling (DN) is widely used to manage pain and function after injury. However, DN is invasive and high inter-practitioner variability has led to mixed success rates. Focused ultrasound (fUS) is a non-invasive medical technology that directs ultrasound energy into a well-defined focal volume. fUS can induce thermal ablation or mechanical fractionation, with bioeffect type controlled through ultrasound parameters. Tendons must withstand high physiological loads, thus treatments maintaining tendon mechanical properties while promoting healing are needed. Our objective was to evaluate mechanical effects of DN and 3 fUS parameter sets, chosen to prioritize mechanical fractionation, on Achilles and supraspinatus tendons. Ex vivo rat Achilles and supraspinatus tendons (50 each) were divided into sham, DN, fUS-1, fUS-2, and fUS-3 (n = 10/group). Following treatment, tendons were mechanically tested. Elastic modulus of supraspinatus tendons treated with DN (126.64 ± 28.1 MPa) was lower than sham (153.02 ± 29.3 MPa; p = 0.0280). Stiffness and percent relaxation of tendons treated with DN (Achilles: 114.40 ± 31.6 N/mm; 49.10 ± 6.1%; supraspinatus: 109.53 ± 30.8 N/mm; 50.17 ± 7.6%) were lower (all p < 0.0334) than sham (Achilles: 141.34 ± 20.9 N/mm; 60.30 ± 7.7%; supraspinatus: 135.14 ± 30.2 N/mm; 60.85 ± 15.4%). Modulus of Achilles and supraspinatus tendons treated with fUS-1 (159.88 ± 25.7 MPa; 150.12 ± 22.0 MPa, respectively) were similar to sham (156.35 ± 23.0 MPa; 153.02 ± 29.3 MPa, respectively). These results suggest that fUS preserves mechanical properties better than DN, with fUS-1 performing better than fUS-2 and fUS-3. fUS should be studied further to fully understand its mechanical and healing effects to help evaluate fUS as an alternative, non-invasive treatment for tendon injuries., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.

- Abstract
Rotator cuff tear (RCT) in older adults may cause decreased muscle forces and disrupt the force balance at the glenohumeral joint, compromising joint stability. Our objective was to identify how increased RCT severity affects glenohumeral joint loading and muscle activation patterns using a computational model. Muscle volume measurements were used to scale a nominal upper limb model's peak isometric muscle forces to represent force-generating characteristics of an average older adult male. Increased RCT severity was represented by systematically decreasing peak isometric muscle forces of supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and subscapularis. Five static postures in both scapular and frontal planes were evaluated. Results revealed that in both scapular and frontal planes, the peak glenohumeral joint contact force magnitude remained relatively consistent across increased RCT severity (average 1.5% and -4.2% change, respectively), and a relative balance of the transverse force couple is maintained even in massive RCT models. Predicted muscle activations of intact muscles, like teres minor, increased (average 5-30% and 4-17% in scapular and frontal planes, respectively) with greater RCT severity. This suggests that the system is prioritizing glenohumeral joint stability, even with severe RCT, and that unaffected muscles play a compensatory role to help stabilize the joint., (Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

- Abstract
We report an on-chip platform for low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) stimulation of cells directly cultured on a biocompatible surface of a transparent ultrasound transducer (TUT) fabricated using lithium niobate. The high light transmittance (>80%) and compact size (3 mm × 3 mm × 2 mm) of TUTs allowed easy integration with powerful optical microscopy techniques with no additional acoustic coupling and risk for contamination. TUTs were excited with varying acoustic excitation parameters (voltage amplitude and duty cycle) and resulting live cell calcium signaling was simultaneously imaged using time-lapse confocal microscopy, while the temperature change was measured by a thermocouple. Quantitative single-cell fluorescence analysis revealed the dynamic calcium signaling responses and together with the temperature measurements elucidated the optimal stimulation parameters for non-thermal and thermal effects. The fluorescence change profile was distinct from the recorded temperature change (<1 degree Celsius) profile under LIPUS treatment conditions. Cell dead assay results confirmed cells remain viable after the LIPUS treatment. These results confirmed that the TUT platform enables controllable, safe, high-throughput, and uniform mechanical stimulation of all plated cells. The on-chip LIPUS stimulation using TUTs has the potential to attract several in vitro and in vivo biomedical applications such as controlling stem cell differentiation and proliferation, studying biomechanical properties of cancer cells, and gaining fundamental insights into mechanotransduction pathways when integrated with state-of-the-art high-speed and high-resolution microscopy techniques.

- Abstract
Background: Rotator cuff tear is a common musculoskeletal injury, negatively affecting shoulder function. Rotator cuff tear severity ranges from small to massive tears, but it is unclear how tear severity affects glenohumeral joint loading and how changes contribute to secondary injury. This study's objective was to determine how glenohumeral joint contact force changes with tear severity during functional task performance using computational models., Methods: Eight models of increasing tear severity were developed, ranging from no rotator cuff tear to massive three-tendon tears. Simulations were performed using models representing increasing tear severity and kinematics for five functional tasks (n = 720 simulations). For each task, magnitude and orientation of peak resultant joint contact force for each tear severity was identified, then compared to the no rotator cuff tear model., Findings: For all tasks, compared to the no rotator cuff tear model, joint contact force magnitude decreased 9.5% on average with infraspinatus involvement, then plateaued at 20.8% average decrease with subscapularis involvement. Projected orientation of peak joint contact force vector was located more superior in the glenoid with increased tear severity, with significant changes (p < 0.0003) for all tasks with infraspinatus involvement., Interpretation: Decreased magnitude and superior orientation of joint contact force suggest fewer intact muscles contribute to force distribution across the joint, although more work is needed characterizing associated compensation strategies. All force vectors remained oriented within the glenoid rim for all tasks and models, suggesting the system prioritizes joint stability. This work identifies how joint contact force changes with rotator cuff tear severity., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Around 30 million tendon injuries occur annually in the U.S. costing $ 114 billion. Conservative therapies, like dry needling, promote healing in chronically injured tendons by inducing microdamage but have mixed success rates. Focused ultrasound (fUS) therapy can noninvasively fractionate tissues through the creation, oscillation, and collapse of bubbles in a process termed histotripsy; however, highly collagenous tissues, like tendon, have shown resistance to mechanical fractionation. This study histologically evaluates whether fUS mechanical disruption is achievable in tendons. Ex vivo rat tendons (45 Achilles and 44 supraspinatus) were exposed to 1.5-MHz fUS operating with 0.1-10 ms pulses repeated at 1-100 Hz for 15-60 s with peak positive pressures <89 MPa and peak negative pressures <26 MPa; other tendons were exposed to dry needling or sham. Immediately after treatment, tendons were flash-frozen and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) or alpha-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide diaphorase ( α -NADH-d) and evaluated by two reviewers blinded to the exposure conditions. Results showed successful creation of bubbles for all fUS-treated samples; however, not all samples showed histological injury. When the injury was detected, parameter sets with shorter pulses (0.1-1 ms), lower acoustic pressures, or reduced treatment times showed mechanical disruption in the form of fiber separation and fraying with little to no thermal injury. Longer pulses or treatment times showed a combination of mechanical and thermal injury. These findings suggest that mechanical disruption is achievable in tendons within a small window of acoustic parameters, supporting the potential of fUS therapy in tendon treatment.

- Abstract
Fluorosis is a public health concern in 25 countries around the globe. The present study is about the mitigation of fluoride (F) toxicity by giving F-free water (FFW) and calcium (Ca). A study was conducted by taking 76 Wistar rats in two phases, phase I (6 months), where rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal-Ca diet (NCD) 0.5%; low-Ca diet (LCD) 0.25%; NCD + 100 ppm F and LCD + 100 ppm F in groups 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. F and Ca were given through water and diet respectively. Phase II is the reversal of fluorosis for 3 months, where LCD group 2 was treated with NCD. Groups 3 and 4 were divided into two subgroups each: 3X and 3Y, and 4X and 4Y, respectively. Groups 3X and 4X received FFW with NCD. Group 3Y continued as phase I and 4Y NCD and F. The biochemical expression, gene expression, biomechanical properties and DXA were studied by standard methods. The results revealed that in phase I, bone turnover was significantly increased whereas bone mineral content and biomechanical properties of group 4 were significantly decreased (p ≤ 0.05) as compared with that of all other groups. Trabecular separation and total porosity increased in groups 2 and 4. Expression of osteocalcin, osteonectin and osteopontin genes was significantly downregulated in group 4. Bone turnover in group 4X was normalised. Expressions of osteocalcin, osteonectin and osteopontin were upregulated after providing NCD and FFW. In conclusion, low calcium aggravates skeletal fluorosis which could be mitigated on supplementation of Ca and FFW.

- Abstract
In the U.S., approximately 14 million tendon and ligament injuries are reported each year. Dry needling (DN) is a conservative treatment introduced to alleviate pain and restore function; however, it is invasive and has mixed success. Focused ultrasound (fUS) is a non-invasive technology that directs ultrasound energy into a well-defined focal volume. fUS induces thermal and/or mechanical bioeffects which can be controlled by the choice of ultrasound parameters. fUS could be an alternative to DN for treatment of tendon injuries, but the bioeffects must be established. Thus, the purpose of this pilot study was to compare the effect of DN and fUS on the mechanical properties and cell morphology of 30 ex vivo rat Achilles tendons. Tendons were randomly assigned to sham, DN, or fUS, with 10 tendons per group. Within each group, 5 tendons were evaluated mechanically, and 5 tendons were analyzed histologically. Elastic modulus in the DN (74.05 ± 15.0 MPa) group was significantly lower than sham (149.84 ± 59.1 MPa; p = 0.0094) and fUS (128.84 ± 28.3 MPa; p = 0.0453) groups. Stiffness in DN (329.05 ± 236.8 N/mm; p = 0.0034) and fUS (315.26 ± 68.9 N/mm; p = 0.0027) groups were significantly lower than sham (786.10 ± 238.7 N/mm) group. Histologically, localized necrosis was observed in 3 out of 5 tendons exposed to fUS, with surrounding tissue unharmed; no evidence of cellular injury was observed in DN or sham groups. These results suggest that fUS preserves the mechanical properties of tendon better than DN. Further studies are needed to evaluate fUS as an alternative, noninvasive treatment modality for tendon injuries., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.

- Abstract
Background and Aims: Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been suggested to be a predictor of coronary artery disease (CAD), and end-organ damage in type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Similar data are lacking from Indians with T2DM. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the role of NLR as a predictor of microvascular complications and CAD in T2DM., Subjects and Methods: Consecutive T2DM patients attending the outpatient services of 2 different hospitals, who gave consent, underwent clinical, anthropometric evaluation, and evaluation for the occurrence of retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, and CAD., Results: A total of 298 patients were screened of which 265 patients' data were analyzed. Occurrence of hypertension, neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, and CAD was 12.8%, 18.5%, 41.5%, 62.3%, and 3.8%, respectively. Patients in higher NLR quartiles had significantly higher diabetes duration, occurrence of nephropathy, albuminuria, retinopathy, CAD and lpwer glomerular filtration rate. Patients with more microvascular complications had significantly longer diabetes duration, blood pressure, NLR, creatinine, and urine albumin excretion. Binary logistic regression revealed NLR followed by body mass index were best predictors of microvascular complications. NLR had areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.888 (95% CI: 0.848-0.929; P < 0.001), 0.708 (95% CI: 0.646-0.771; P < 0.001), and 0.768 (95% CI: 0.599-938; P = 0.004) in predicting albuminuria, retinopathy, and CAD, respectively. NLR of 2.00 had sensitivity and specificity of 86.4% and 69% in predicting albuminuria; sensitivity and specificity of 64.2% and 63% in predicting retinopathy; sensitivity and specificity of 80% and 47.1% in predicting CAD., Conclusion: NLR is inexpensive, easy to use, reliable predictor of nephropathy, retinopathy, and CAD in Indian T2DM., Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest.
