Percutaneous Patent Foramen Ovale Closure: Stroke and Beyond
Authors: Randhawa Sandeep , Mehta Jawahar L. , Dhar Gaurav
Published: March 2024

Over 750,000 individuals suffer from stroke annually in the United States, with 87%
of these strokes being ischemic in nature. Roughly 40% of ischemic strokes occur in individuals
60 years of age or under. A quarter of all ischemic strokes have no identifiable cause despite
extensive workup and are deemed cryptogenic in nature. Patent Foramen Ovales (PFO)
has been postulated in stroke causation by either paradoxical embolization or platelet activation
in the tunnel of the defect. The incidence of PFO is reported to be 15-25% in the general population
but rises to 40% in patients with cryptogenic stroke. While the initial trials evaluating
PFO closures were non-revealing, subsequent long-term follow-ups, as well as recent trials
evaluating PFO closures in cryptogenic stroke patients 60 years of age or under, demonstrated
the superiority of percutaneous closure compared to medical therapy alone, leading to FDA
approval of PFO closure devices. In this review, we review the diagnosis of PFO, postulated
stroke mechanisms, literature supporting PFO closure, patient selection for percutaneous closure,
procedural considerations, and associated procedural complications.

This aim of the study was to gather information for use in the present and future management
of the adenomyosis condition. Adenomyosis is a benign gynecological condition that
needs to be managed for the rest of one's life with either medication or surgical treatment. It is also
associated with abnormal uterine bleeding, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and infertility. The
choice a woman makes will be influenced by her age, reproductive status, and clinical indicators.
The primary goals of this study were to gain knowledge on adenomyosis and to review potential
treatment possibilities. According to this review, adenomyosis can be treated in a number of ways,
including through medical attention utilizing least-invasive techniques a surgical operation that is
performed with minimally invasive techniques. Focused ultrasound with high intensity (HIFU) for
hysteroscopic ablation and resection Embolishing the uterine artery (UAE). Adenomyosis is a benign
gynecological illness that necessitates a lifelong care strategy by medication or surgical therapy
and is accompanied by abnormal uterine hemorrhage, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and infertility.
The option a woman chooses will depend on her age, reproductive status, and clinical signs.
Since there is currently no medication approved for the treatment of adenomyosis, the present review
will focus on existing and future medical procedures for the condition. The uterus is impacted
by the medical condition adenomyosis. It happens when the endometrial tissue that normally
lines the uterus invades the myometrium, the uterine muscle wall. Although this illness is benign,
some people may experience substantial pain and discomfort as a result of it. It is more typically
detected in those who have had children and is most frequently diagnosed in people between the
ages of 30 and 50. Treatment options depend on the severity of symptoms and the individual's specific
situation. Treatment approaches may include Pain Management, Hormonal Therapy, Surgical
Interventions, Surgical Interventions and Lifestyle Changes. Several uterine-sparing therapeutic alternatives
are currently available, each with unique risks and benefits, such as medication, hysteroscopic
resection or ablation, conservative surgical methods, and high-intensity focused ultrasound.
Uterine artery embolization, a practical, secure, and cost-effective method for treating uterine fibroids,
has recently grown in popularity as a treatment for uterine adenomyosis.

Authors: Shripathi Acharya G  , Niranjan S.  , Swapna Swayamprabha  , Rajeshwari S Acharya
Published: March 2024

Due to faulty food habits and altered lifestyles, non communicable disorders are commonly occurring in modern India. Alcoholic liver disease is caused due to intake of excessive alcohol for prolonged period. The alcohol taken undergoes metabolic changes and acetaldehyde is formed which damages the liver. Initially liver cells get studded with fat droplets and leads to inflammation of the liver called Alcoholic hepatitis. If further alcohol is taken in excessive amounts, it leads to Alcoholic cirrhosis. In this condition some of the hepatocytes undergo necrosis followed by abnormal regeneration and formation of multiple nodules and extensive fibrosis. There will be decrease in liver function followed by emaciation of the body and ascites in alcohol liver disease. Ayurveda medicine has a better role and outcome. Use of hepatoprotectives, hepatic stimulant, Rasayana drugs. Choalaganges, Tikta and Madhura Rasayukta drugs, Mootrala drugs and protein supplementation are found effective in the management of Alcoholic liver disease. Present paper highlights the role of Ayurveda medicines in the management of Alcoholic liver disease.

Published: March 2024

The primary cause of death worldwide has shifted in the recent century from communicable diseases to non-communicable diseases. The public health systems continue to face difficulties as a result of outbreaks of communicable diseases. It is acknowledged that changes in human behaviour and lifestyle are risk factors for the current public health issues, which have a substantial impact on wellness and quality of life. In addition to helping to prevent and treat diseases, leading a healthy lifestyle is essential for promoting overall wellbeing. Evidence-based methods for managing one's lifestyle have been made available by modern medicine, yet doing so successfully presents difficulties. The traditional practices of Ayurveda, Yoga, and Meditation appear promising as complementing methods to promote social welfare. The author puts up a fresh viewpoint and model dubbed "Integrative Lifestyle" that is based on data from both contemporary and conventional methods of lifestyle management. Ayurveda has made significant contributions to both the prevention and treatment of ailments. A healthy lifestyle might include behaviour that are outlined in depth in Ayurveda, such as Dincharya (conducts during the day), Ratricharya (conducts during the night), Ritucharya (seasonal conducts), Ahara Vidhi (diet guidelines), and Sadvritta (excellent conducts), among others.

Authors: Ashna Ratheesh A.P.  , Gururaja D.
Published: March 2024

Introduction: A chronic wound is a wound that does not heal in an orderly set of stages and in a predictable amount of time. Any wound after 7 days is to be considered as Dushta Vrana. The use of Arka preparations in Vrana is mentioned in classics. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Haridra Arka in the management of Dushta Vrana and to study the anti-microbial property of Haridra Arka. Methodology: A single blind clinical study with pre-test and post-test design. The 30 patients with diagnostic criteria of Dushta Vrana were selected from Muniyal Institute of Ayurveda Medical Sciences, Manipal. In Group A, the wound is cleaned and dressed with Haridra Arka. In the control group, Betadine was used for dressing. Wound management done once in a day. Duration of the study for 30 days or till the formation of granulation tissue. Follow-up done once in 7 days for 1 month. The data were graded based on the assessment criteria and were analysed statistically. Results: The outcome of the treatment after 30 days showed high statistical significance in parameters like depth, edge and exudates amount, and other parameters like pain, itching, smell, undermining, necrotic tissue type, necrotic tissue amount, exudates type, skin colour surrounding the wound and granulation tissue showed statistical significance. Conclusion: Both these treatments showed reduction in symptoms but Group B in which Betadine was used showed better results. It can be concluded that Haridra in the form of Arka is not very effective in the management of Dushta Vrana when compared to Betadine.

Authors: Shilpa Shankarrao Walkikar
Published: March 2024

Ayurveda, the traditional system of medicine that originated in India, offers a holistic approach to health and wellness, including oral care. In the context of diabetes, maintaining oral health is crucial because individuals with diabetes are at an increased risk of developing dental issues such as gum disease and infections. Ayurveda emphasizes the balance of doshas i.e. Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, proper diet, and lifestyle modifications to promote overall well-being, including oral health. Regular dental check-ups, maintaining good oral hygiene practices, and following the guidance of Ayurvedic principles are essential components of oral care for individuals with diabetes cases. Exploring the integration of Ayurveda into the oral care of diabetes cases involves considering the holistic principles of Ayurveda, the role of specific practices like oil pulling and herbal components, and the practical application of these principles in conjunction with conventional care. It's a fascinating intersection of traditional wisdom and modern healthcare, and ongoing research can shed more light on the efficacy and nuances of Ayurvedic approaches in managing oral health in individuals with diabetes.

Pola tanam dan perbedaan musim memberikan pengaruh pada keanekaragaman dinamika dan komposisi spesies tumbuhan bawah pada tanaman jati (Tectona grandis) yang merupakan tanaman deciduous. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui keragaman spesies, dinamika dan komposisi vegetasi tumbuhan bawah yang ada pada pola tanam agroforestri (AF) dan monoculture (MN) jati pada musim hujan (RS) dan musim kemarau (DS). Survei lapang telah dilaksanakan pada bulan Februari-Maret dan Juli-Agustus 2023 di kawasan hutan produksi jati Perum Perhutani Kecamatan Kalipare, Kabupaten Malang, Jawa Timur. Kami menggunakan frame ukuran 1 x 1 m dan meletakkannya secara sistematis. Total 117 petak diamati yang terbagi menjadi 27 petak untuk AF dan 90 petak untuk MN. Jarak antar Plot adalah 5 m yang di tandai posisinya dengan Global Positioning System (GPS) dan label penanda. Pada tiap plot dilakukan pengamatan dan di catat jenis spesies, persentase tutupan vegetasi serasah dan tanah terbuka serta menghitung Nilai Kesamaan Sorensen (IS). Adapun pengamatan faktor lingkungan meliputi faktor naungan (keterbukaan kanopi) dan air (curah hujan). Kami gunakan kamera hemisperical lens (Samsung gear 360°) yang diambil 1 m di atas titik petak kemudian dianalisis menggunakan GLA 2.0 untuk memperoleh keterbukaan canopy. Faktor curah hujan di peroleh dari data Stasiun klimatologi setempat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan spesies tumbuhan bawah di AF dan MN jati. Komposisi tumbuhan bawah MN meliputi 49 spesies dari 23 famili sedangkan di AF terdapat 35 spesies dari 16 famili. Vegetasi pada AF dan MN jati memiliki komposisi dan struktur yang berbeda. MN jati pada MK memiliki keragaman yang lebih tinggi dibanding pola tanaman AF karena AF di wilayah tersebut lebih mirip monokultur tanaman semusim yang intensif. Faktor keterbukaan kanopi dan curah hujan memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap tutupan vegetasi.

Authors: Cho Bang-Hoon , Kim Jae-Myung , Kim Young-In , Lee Seung-Han
Published: March 2024

Objectives: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a known indicator of arterial stiffness reflecting vascular damage. However, there are few reports of the relationship between PWV and dizziness/vertigo of a vascular origin. We investigated whether the PWV value could be useful as an ancillary measurement for identifying the etiology of dizziness/vertigo.Methods: We enrolled dizzy patients from March 2016 to December 2018. The patients with posterior circulation stroke presenting with dizziness/vertigo were categorized as having central vertigo. The patients with vertigo due to benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, Ménière disease, or acute unilateral vestibulopathy were categorized as having peripheral vertigo. The PWV value, ankle-brachial index (ABI), and traditional vascular risk factors were collected.Results: We consecutively enrolled a total of 93 participants. The PWV values were higher in the central vertigo group (p<0.001), but ABI did not differ between the groups. Among the vascular risk factors, the number of patients with diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and male patients was significantly higher in the central vertigo group. The brachial-ankle PWV (baPWV) values were higher in the central vertigo group, even after adjusting for confounding factors (p<0.01). The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the sensitivity was 74% and specificity was 81% when the mean baPWV value was 14.78 m/sec.Conclusions: Increased baPWV values were observed in patients with dizziness/vertigo due to stroke. Measurement of the baPWV value could be an ancillary test for evaluating the cause of dizziness/vertigo, even though more convincing evidence is still required.
A case of vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia manifesting as sudden sensorineural hearing loss with vertigo
Authors: Lee Young Jae , Baek Wonyong , Nam Gi-Sung
Published: March 2024

Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) is a rare vascular condition characterized by the elongation, widening, and tortuosity of the vertebrobasilar artery. It can lead to various symptoms due to compression of cranial nerves and brainstem structures. We report a rare case of VBD presenting as sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) with vertigo and spontaneous downbeat nystagmus in a 65-year-old woman with a history of hypertension. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tortuous and dilated right vertebrobasilar artery compressing the brainstem and left 8th cranial nerve root entry zone, without signs of acute cerebellar stroke. The compression of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery and cervicomedullary junction was also noted, suggesting a vascular cause for her symptoms. Following high-dose steroid treatment, the patient showed significant hearing improvement. This case underscores the importance of considering VBD in patients with unexplained SSNHL and vertigo, highlighting the role of detailed vascular imaging in the diagnosis and management of such cases.
The risk matrix application to assess the installation of torsional vibration monitoring systems on ships
Authors: Pokusaev M. N. , Gorbachev M. M.
Published: March 2024

According to statistics, the number of accidents related to the failures of ship engine and propulsion systems remains in second place among the total number of accidents. One of the reasons for the destruction of diesel crankshafts, intermediate and propeller shafts, elastic couplings and other elements of shaft lines are torsional vibrations in combination with other types of fluctuations and vibrations. The main method for monitoring the level of torsional vibrations in ship’s shaft lines remains periodic torsiography or strain measurement. The widespread introduction of diagnostic and control systems on ships leads to the technical possibility of constant monitoring of the level of torsional vibrations, which will allow you to reduce the risks of accidents in the periods between torsiography. Like any new technical solution, the introduction of torsional vibration monitoring systems requires a scientific justification of the need for their application, which can be carried out with using risk theory. The results of applying the risk matrix to justify the installation of torsional vibration monitoring systems in marine propulsion systems are presented in the paper. As a result, a risk matrix with quantitative parameters is obtained to justify the installation of torsional vibration monitoring systems and reduce the risks of ship’s shaft line breakdowns. As an example, the application of the risk matrix for “OT” type tugs, which are widely used for various operations on the Russian waterways, is considered. It is established that for these types of vessels, the use of a monitoring system will be justified to reduce the risks of accidents, serious accidents and catastrophes that may arise from the development of dangerous torsional vibrations. A method for applying the assessment of the damage degree from an accident occurrence to determine the reduction of economic costs when using torsional vibration monitoring systems is proposed in the paper. It is found that for the “OT” type tugs, the installation of torsional vibration monitoring systems will be justified, both from the point of view of economics and reducing the accidents risks of ship engine and propulsion systems.

Published: March 2024

The results of studying the thermodynamic processes features and analyzing the prospects for using their characteristics to assess the technical condition of diesel power plants are contained in the paper. A structural diagram of a ship power plant, which is proposed to be considered consisting of separate components of mechanical part, thermodynamic part, fuel supply system and automatic speed control system equal in degree of influence on efficiency is proposed. The theoretical analysis results of the joint operation of the mechanical and thermodynamic components of the diesel power function have shown that the temperature of the working surfaces is an important characteristic of the power plant technical state. The concept of the thermodynamic component in this case refers to a combination of fuel combustion processes and combustion product expansion. To improve the design and efficiency of power plants operation, it is necessary to further study the in-cylinder fuel combustion processes and develop operational methods for monitoring the thermal state of diesel internal combustion engines. Control of changes in functional dependencies of working medium temperature on operating conditions and technical condition can in practice contribute to increase the efficiency of ship power plants operation. The experimental studies of the thermal imaging methods prospects to assess the diesel engines technical condition are carried out. It is found that the control reliability increases with an increase in the size of the diesel engine frame due to a decrease in the intensity of the dynamics of temperature equalization of individual cylinders. At the same time, the most expedient and informative is the control of the temperature of the diesel engine exhaust manifold, carried out during the heating of the cold engine or immediately after its completion.

The application of AI technology was aimed to improve the qualityof sheep in the village Tanjungharjo within the framework of communityeconomic empowerment. The activities centered in the hamlet Klajuran andTanjunggunung, which has biggest number of sheep population. Thisactivity was began with the selection of candidates for ewes and superiormales. 32 ewes and 2 males were used in this activity. Prior to the AI, theewes synchronized using PGF2α with a dose of 0.2 and 0.5 ml / IM / headand part of the ewes fed flushing. The results showed that thesynchronization of applied technology for both flushing and non flushingindicate the occurrence of estrus with estrous intensity the average of 2.8. Itcould be concluded that almost all ewes synchronized shows estrous withnear maximal intensity (3), which is swollen, red and slimy. Analysis ofvariance of flushing treatment showed significant different to estrousintensity (3 vs 2.6). Synchronization using different doses of PGF2αtreatment and flushing yielded an average pregnancy rate is different too.The average pregnancy in the treatment flushing was 100%, while the nonflushingwas 70%. While for the treatment of PGF2α dose, to 0.5 ml / headpregnancy rate reached 95% and to 0.2 ml / head pregnancy rate reached80%. It can be concluded that the flushing and different doses of PGF2αhave effect on the intensity of estrus and achievements AI.
