Elective Induction of Labor at 39 Weeks among Nulliparous Women at Mansoura University Hospital

Background: When there are greater hazards to the mother and fetus from continuing the pregnancy than from having an accelerated delivery, induction of labor (IOL) is advised. Induction of labor without a medical indication is known as elective induction of labour (eIOL). Objective: This study aimed to assess the impact of eIOL at 39 weeks gestation in nulliparous women on mother and neonatal outcomes compared with expectant management (EM). Patients and Methods: This prospective study was carried on 120 nulliparous women who were at 39 weeks gestation. The study population were distributed randomly into 2 groups with 60 participants in each: Group A comprised 60 pregnant women who underwent eIOL at 39 weeks gestational age and group B who underwent EM and acted as control group. Results: Incidence of Cesarean section (CS) was higher among group B than in group A. Group B was shown to have a higher incidence of perineal tears than group A. Both groups demonstrated comparable outcomes as regards postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and need for blood transfusion. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding fetal problems. Group A exhibited a higher mean APGAR score compared to group B, and group A required fewer visits to the newborn intensive care unit (NICU) than group B. Conclusion: eIOL at 39 weeks led to fewer population hazards than EM. In particular, eIOL at 39 weeks gestation that was related to lower rates of CS, maternal morbidity, stillbirths, and newborn mortality, as well as decreased rates of neonatal morbidity.

When such failure occurs, conversion to total hip replacement (THR) becomes necessary, posing unique surgical challenges. This study aimed to evaluate early results of Conversion of 30 cases of aseptic failed hip hemiarthroplasty (bipolar or unipolar) to total hip replacement. Methods: This study is a prospective analysis of 30 patients who sought treatment at Benha University Hospital,
The Potential Role of Procalcitonin Compared to C-reactive protein and Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio in Prediction of Severity and Outcomes of Acute Corrosive Ingestion

Background: Caustic ingestion in children is considered a serious healthcare issue worldwide due to its high morbidity and mortality rates. Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the potential role of procalcitonin (PCT) compared to C-reactive protein (CRP) and neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in assessment of severity and prediction of outcomes of acute corrosive ingestion for early intervention and better prognosis. Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 60 patients aged from 6 months to 12 years, who were admitted to poison control center, Ain Shams University Hospitals with diagnosis of acute caustic ingestion. Demographic, clinical data and blood samples were collected from each patient, with biomarkers’ assessment within 24 hours post caustic ingestion. Results: The majority of patients were males (70%) with median age 1.5 years. Acute and/or chronic complications occurred in 43.3% of the studied patients. Significantly higher levels of PCT, CRP and NLR were detected in complicated patients, as well patients with DROOL score ≤4. Procalcitonin level <1.4 ng/mL was the most specific biomarker (94.12%) with the highest positive predictive value (90.5%) in predicting complications occurrence, whereas CRP level <9.6 mg/L was the most sensitive biomarker (100%). Conclusion: This study supports the role of PCT, CRP and NLR as reliable biomarkers in early predicting the severity and outcomes of corrosive ingestion in children. PCT seemed to be superior to CRP and NLR in predicting complications post caustic ingestion.
Cutaneous, Lacrimal and Testicular Lymphomas; Case Series

Background: One-fifth of the patients suffering from lymphoma had an extra-nodal presentation. Objectives: We aimed to provide our experience with three cases of cutaneous, lacrimal, and testicular lymphomas. Patients and methods: We provided three cases with extra-nodal lymphoma arising from the lacrimal gland, the subcutaneous tissue, and testis. Results: The first case was a 42-year-old lady who presented with relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the form of subcutaneous nodules within both thighs. The second case was 72-year-old lady who presented with an orbital mass. The mass was proven to be NHL arising from the orbit with regional lymphadenopathy. The third case had advanced NHL with testicular and renal involvement. Graphical illustrations of their PET-CT scans were included. Conclusion: Extra-nodal presentation of NHL is a rare but serious condition. We presented three cases with lacrimal, subcutaneous, and testicular presentation.
Fertilizer band placement-cum-earthing machine effects on growth, productivity and profitability of maize (Zea mays) under varying nitrogen levels

A field experiment was conducted during the rainy season (rabi) of 201112 and 201213 at Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology (GBPUAT), Pantnagar, to study the effect of mechanized earthing, conventional earthing and nitrogen dose on productivity and profitability of maize (Zea mays L.). The experiment included 4 earthing treatments in main plots, viz. no earthing, manual earthing, inter-cultivation by cultivator and earthing by Pant fertilizer band placement-cum-earthing machine) and 4 levels of nitrogen, i.e. 90, 120, 150 and 180 kg/ha as subplots was arranged in splitplot design. The Pant fertilizer band placement cum earthing machine was designed and developed at the Department of Farm Machinery and Power Engineering, College of Technol- ogy, Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand. The machine was designed to perform continuous placement of fertilizer along the row crop, earthing-up and weed cutting operation simultaneously. Significantly higher productivity and monetary advantage was noted under earthing by Pant fertil- izer band placement-cum-earthing machine. The average increase in grain yield in mechanized earthing over no- earthing, manual earthing and inter-cultivation by cultivator was 24.5, 6.5 and 14.5%, respectively. The highest monetary advantage of 46.3 thousands/ha and benefit: cost ratio of 1.22 was obtained in mechanized earthing. Application of nitrogen @ 150 kg/ha was helpful in improving grain yield by 26.2% and net returns by 63.5% over 90 kg/ha.
Effect of Packaging Method and Use of Acetic Acid on the Shelf Life of Fish During Refrigeration Storage

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of application of acetic acid 1%, non-vacuum packaging and vacuum packaging on the shelf-life of tilapia fish filets at refrigerated temperature (2±1 o C) during 21 days of storage period. In this regard, the current study investigated the quality attributes including sensory, TBA, TVB-N, pH and microbial loads of examined fish. Vacuum packing and acetic acid were found to possess potent antibacterial effects on a variety of microorganisms. The fish were divided into four groups after being gutted and filleted: Group A (GA): fish fillets were vacuum packaged in Polyamide/ Polyethylene (PA/PE) bags. Group B (GB): the fillets were stored in non-vacuum containers. Group C (GC): the fillets underwent chemical treatment by immersion in 1% acetic acid for 2 minutes at room temperature, drained for two minutes then vacuum packaged in Polyamide/ Polyethylene (PA/PE) bags. Group D (GD): the fillets treated as in GC stored in non-vacuum containers. All groups were stored at 2±1 o C, 80% CO 2 and 20% N 2 for 21 days. The experiment was repeated in triplicate. The sensory analysis of fish fillets revealed that samples in group C which were treated with acetic acid 1% in combination with vacuum packaging during storage for 21 days at 2±1 o C had the best sensory properties and the best shelf life, and a low pH value reduced or even limited microbial levels, and ensured the safety of different microbial counts as well as reduction of TBA and TVB-N in acetic acid-treated groups compared with other groups. Together with the sensory characteristics, the low or limited microbial counts (total viable count, total psychrotrophic count, and total coliform counts) suggested that autolysis or other causes other than microbial activity may be to blame for the deterioration. Meanwhile, the shelf-life of fish treated with vacuum packaging had a longer shelf-life than that treated with non-vacuum packaging. Overall, the research underscores the need for more research and development to produce seafood that is stable and safe against microbes and has a long shelf life in order to meet customer demand.
Using natural language processing to explore characteristics and management of patients with axial spondyloarthritis and psoriatic arthritis treated under real-world conditions in Spain: SpAINET study

Background: Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group of related but phenotypically distinct inflammatory disorders that include axial SpA (axSpA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Information on the characteristics and management of these patients in the real world remains scarce. Objectives: To explore the characteristics and management [disease activity assessment and treatment with secukinumab (SEC) or other biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs)] of axSpA and PsA patients using natural language processing (NLP) in Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Design: National, multicenter, observational, and retrospective study. Methods: We analyzed free-text and structured clinical information from EHR at three hospitals. All adult patients with axSpA, PsA or non-classified SpA from 2018 to 2021 with minimum follow-up of three months were included when starting SEC or other bDMARDs. Clinical variables were extracted using EHRead® technology based on Systemized Nomenclature of Medicine-Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) terminology. Results: Out of 887,735 patients, 758 were included, of which 328 had axSpA [58.5% male; mean (SD) age of 50.7 (12.7) years], 365 PsA [54.8% female, 53.9 (12.4) years], and 65 non-classified SpA. Mean (SD) time since diagnosis was 36.8 (61.0) and 24.1 (35.2) months for axSpA and PsA, respectively. Only 116 axSpA patients (35.3%) had available Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) or Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) at bDMARD onset, of which 61 presented active disease. Disease Activity in PSoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) or Disease Assessment Score - 28 joints (DAS-28) values at bDMARD onset were available for only 61 PsA (16.7%) patients, with 23 of them having active disease. The number of patients with available tender joint count or swollen joint count assessment was 68 (20.7%) and 59 (18%) for axSpA, and 115 (31.5%) and 119 (32.6%) for PsA, respectively. SEC was used in 63 (19.2%) axSpA patients and in 63 (17.3%) PsA patients. Conclusion: Using NLP, the study showed that around one-third of axSpA and one-sixth of PsA patients have disease activity assessments with ASDAS/BASDAI or DAPSA/DAS-28, respectively, highlighting an area of improvement in these patients’ management.
Breast Cancer Classification based on Artificial Intelligence: State of the Art

Breast cancer, a formidable ailment, stands as a prominent contributor to global female mortality rates. The timely detection of breast cancer is of utmost importance as it significantly enhances the probability of a favourable prognosis while concurrently reducing the likelihood of the disease advancing to an incurable state. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have emerged as prominent methodologies for the precise detection and classification of breast cancer within Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the existing body of literature pertaining to the application AI in the realm of breast cancer detection. The primary objective of this study is to underscore the significance of employing AI in the timely identification of breast cancer, thereby enhancing the efficacy of subsequent treatment interventions. Furthermore, an examination of different screening methodologies for the detection of breast cancer is presented. Furthermore, we explore the fundamental components of CAD system, including preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, and feature selection. This paper will extensively examine the various classification strategies employed in the identification of breast cancer.
Composting Fish Waste Combined with Cow and Poultry Manure to Produce an Environmentally Friendly Organic Fertilizer

The fishing sector produces substantial waste. The primary goal of this work was to obtain organic fertilizers for use in agriculture by composting fish waste. Four waste mixtures were used in the experiment: cow waste only (C), cow waste combined with dried fish waste previously collected (CF) with a mixing ratio of 1:3, poultry waste (P), and poultry waste combined with fish waste (PF) at the same mixing ratio. The fish waste treatments (PF2 and CF2) recorded a much lower pH than the untreated treatments with fish waste. The pH values were neutral values after the maturity of fish waste. The highest N percentage was in poultry with fish, followed by cows mixed with fish, poultry, and cows. Over time, the GI increased in all treatments because of the compost maturity, recording values higher than 75%. The results confirmed the compost suitability in all treatments for agricultural use. R 2 values reflect their efficiency in interpreting and predicting the results of GI based on pH, EC, and N. The results showed that the compost physicochemical properties had significant influences on the GI values. The results proved that it is possible to use fish waste mixed with of poultry and cow manure to produce an environmentally safe fertilizer and better than the compost product of poultry and cow manure only
Lactate Dehydrogenase as a Biomarker in Oral Submucous Fibrosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

This systematic review and meta-analysis was planned with the objective of evaluating the level of Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) in oral submucous fibrosis patients and in controls and comparing them. For this meta-analysis, we searched Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) databases using a search methodology that included combinations of MeSH terms and keywords and included cross-sectional studies to evaluate the levels of LDH in patients with Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF), Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) and compared it with the controls. The total number of records identified through database searching was 4161 (n). Analysis of the quality of the studies was done using the National Heart, Lungs and Blood Institute (NHLBI) tool for case-control studies. Twelve case-control studies which matched the inclusion criteria were included after the literature search. The meta-analysis was carried out using R Studio (version 4.1.3, 2022; The R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria). The pooled estimate that has been calculated from the salivary LDH course for OSMF was 15.35% and from the serum LDH course for OSMF was 6.82%. There was a visual observation of the funnel’s plot asymmetry suggesting publication bias. After adjusting the publication bias, the t2 values for salivary and serum LDH were 41% and 14.71%, respectively, which was less than 50%, indicating that the meta-analysis was statistically significant. The evaluation of salivary and serum LDH can be a useful method for early diagnosis of OSMF as well as OSCC. To infer that individuals may have OPMD or OSCC, specific values for salivary and serum LDH must be found in further investigations.
Reassessing the MADE direct‐push hydraulic conductivity data using a revised calibration procedure

In earlier work, we presented a geostatistical assessment of high‐resolution hydraulic conductivity (K) profiles obtained at the MADE site using direct‐push (DP) methods. The profiles are derived from direct‐push injection logger (DPIL) measurements that provide a relative indicator of vertical variations in K with a sample spacing of 1.5 cm. The DPIL profiles are converted to K profiles by calibrating to the results of direct‐push permeameter (DPP) tests performed at selected depths in some of the profiles. Our original calibration used a linear transform that failed to adequately account for an upper limit on DPIL responses in high‐K zones and noise in the DPIL data. Here we present a revised calibration procedure that accounts for the upper limit and noise, leading to DPIL K values that display a somewhat different univariate distribution and a lower lnK variance (5.9 ± 1.5) than the original calibration values (6.9 ± 1.8), although each variance estimate falls within the other's 95% confidence interval. Despite the change in the univariate distribution, the autocorrelation structure and large‐scale patterns exhibited by the revised DPIL K values still agree well with those exhibited by the flowmeter data from the site. We provide the DPIL and DPP data, along with our calibrated DPIL K values, in the Supporting Information.
Response of aerobic rice (Oryza sativa) to different irrigation regimes and nitrogen levels in western Odisha

A field experiment was conducted during the summer seasons of 2013 and 2014 at Chiplima, Odisha, to deter- mine the effect of irrigation regimes and nitrogen (N) levels on yield, field water-use efficiency (FWUE) and eco- nomics of APO cv. of aerobic rice (Oryza sativa L.). The treatments consisted of 4 irrigation regimes (irrigation at 3, 5, 7 and 9 days intervals) in the main-plots and 4 levels of nitrogen (0, 40, 60 and 80 kg N/ha) in the sub-plots, replicated thrice. The pooled mean results revealed that maximum grain yield (3.44 t/ha) and benefit: cost ratio (1.40) were obtained when irrigation was provided at 3-day interval. However, the both the parameters obtained with irrigation being provided at 5-day interval were at par with their maximum values. The field water-use effi- ciency was the maximum with irrigation at 7-day interval (36.01 kg/ha-cm) which was at par with irrigation at 5-day interval (34.48 kg/ha-cm). With regards to N level, application of 80kg N/ha recorded significantly higher grain yield (3.58 t/ha), FWUE (40.55 kg/ha-cm) and benefit: cost ratio (1.48) than that of other N levels. Thus, economi- cally higher grain yield, FWUE and benefit: cost ratio were obtained when crop was irrigated at 5-day interval and fertilized with 80 kg N/ha.

Falls in people with parkinsonism are likely related to both motor and cognitive impairments. In addition to idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD), some older adults have lower body parkinsonism (a frontal gait disorder), characterized by impaired lower extremity balance and gait as well as cognition, but without tremor or rigidity. Neuroimaging during virtual gait suggests that interhemispheric, prefrontal cortex communication may be involved in locomotion, but contributions of neuroanatomy connecting these regions to objective measures of gait in people with parkinsonism remains unknown. Our objectives were to compare the integrity of ﬁ ber tracts connectingprefrontalandsensorimotor cortical regionsviathecorpuscallosum inpeoplewith twotypesofpar-kinsonism and an age-matched control group and to relate integrity of these callosal ﬁ bers with clinical and ob-jectivemeasures of mobilityand cognition.Werecruited10 patients with frontalgaitdisorders, 10patients with idiopathic PD and 10 age-matched healthy control participants.
