Published: December 2024

Introducción: la albúmina sérica se emplea como un marcador del estado nutricional en pacientes quirúrgicos. Su utilidad como único indicador ha sido cuestionada debido a sus limitaciones en estadios inflamatorios. Objetivo: evaluar la correlación entre la albúmina, indicadores antropométricos y la fuerza muscular para determinar la suficiencia de la albúmina como indicador nutricional en pacientes quirúrgicos hospitalizados en un hospital público de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires entre septiembre de 2023 y junio de 2024. Métodos: estudio transversal en el que se estableció la correlación de la albúmina con el índice de masa corporal (IMC), porcentaje de pérdida de peso (PPP) y fuerza muscular. Se hizo una comparación del IMC y PPP entre los pacientes con albúmina normal y baja. El muestreo fue no probabilístico, por conveniencia. Resultados: la muestra quedó conformada por 100 pacientes, 63,00 % de sexo masculino. Las cirugías más prevalentes fueron las biliares. No se encontró correlación entre la albúmina y el PPP e IMC. Se evidenció correlación significativa con la fuerza muscular. No se observó diferencia significativa en el IMC y el PPP entre los grupos con albúmina normal y baja. Sin embargo, se evidenció significancia estadística en los valores de dinamometría entre ambos grupos, siendo mayor en pacientes con albúmina normal. Conclusiones: la albúmina sérica no muestra una correlación significativa con el IMC y el PPP, pero sí con la fuerza muscular. Estos resultados sugieren que, aunque la albúmina puede ser un indicador útil, no es suficiente para evaluar el estado nutricional en pacientes quirúrgicos.

Factors Influencing the Efficiency of Solar Energy Systems
Authors: Richard Kiiza , John Ukagwu Kelechi , Okafor Wisdom
Published: December 2024

The efficiency of solar panels is significantly influenced by temperature and irradiance, which are crucial in solar energy conversion. As temperatures rise, solar panel efficiency typically decreases due to increased electrical resistance, resulting in lower output voltage and power production. This efficiency loss is quantified by the temperature coefficient, indicating the drop per degree Celsius above 25°C. Advanced cooling systems and optimal thermal management can mitigate these effects. Irradiance, the sunlight intensity reaching the panels, directly affects electricity generation. While higher irradiance increases efficiency by providing more photons for conversion, it can also raise temperatures, negatively impacting performance. Solar panels achieve maximum efficiency under optimal irradiance and moderate temperatures, typically 1000 W/m² at 25°C. Variations in irradiance due to geographical location, time of day, and weather conditions cause fluctuations in power output. Efficient system design must consider local irradiance patterns and utilize tracking systems to maintain optimal panel orientation. To optimize efficiency, innovative methods such as advanced materials, cooling techniques, and smart tracking systems are employed. Additionally, integrating energy storage solutions and predictive analytics helps manage environmental impacts. Proper design, installation, and maintenance strategies are crucial for maximizing solar panel efficiency and lifespan under varying conditions. Understanding the interplay between temperature and irradiance is essential for advancing solar energy technologies, and enhancing their reliability and effectiveness in diverse environments.

Published: December 2024

Nanoparticles are materials that are currently widely used in research due to their novelty and the growing number of suitable applications. Silica nanoparticles can be produced by synthesizing using several methods such as melting, coprecipitation, sol-gel, and ultrasonication. The aim of this study is to determine the most appropriate synthesis method for the production of SiO₂ nanoparticles to optimize the quality of physical properties of fast-growing wood. The synthesis of SiO2 nanoparticles used in this study utilized three different methods: acid isolation method (F1), sol-gel method (F2), and reflux method (F3). Characterization of SiO2-NPs was performed using particle size analyzer (PSA), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results of PSA analysis showed that the acid isolation method produced the smallest SiO2 particle size compared to the sol-gel and reflux methods. The zeta pontential value in each method shows that the particles produced are unstable because the potential zeta value produced is around -10 mV to -30 mV. The results of FTIR and XRD analysis show that the synthesized material is a SiO₂ compound with a cristobalite phase. Application of the material on jabon wood through impregnation showed an improvement in physical properties, including an increase in WPG, density, and BE, especially in the sol-gel method (F2).

Authors: Reddy. G Vishwa , Sahitha Krishna
Published: December 2024

A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the understanding and perspectives of Indian health science students
regarding Basic Life Support (BLS) through a validated 30-question online questionnaire, which reached approximately
10,000 students via social media and received 600 responses. The majority of participants were MBBS (77%), BDS (6%)students, BPT
Physiotherapy (3%) followed by BSc Nursing (9%), GNM General Nursing and Midwifery (5%) . The results revealed that Indian students
generally maintained a favourable attitude towards BLS, with 90% demonstrating sufficient knowledge, as they passed the evaluation. However,
significant variations in scores were noted based on the students' field of study, although no significant correlation (p>0.05) was identified
between knowledge sufficiency and course. Importantly, students who had previously received BLS training displayed significantly enhanced
knowledge and attitudes (p<0.001). Additionally, a considerable number of students indicated their readiness to engage in BLS courses and to
instruct non-medical members of their communities if needed. The study also provided participants the opportunity to articulate challenges
encountered while learning BLS and suggest remedies for improvement. The authors advocate for the establishment of more accessible and wellequipped training programs and highlight the necessity for further research in Emergency Medicine to evaluate measurable outcomes following
educational interventions.

Authors: Gajjam Shrinivas , Selvaraj Sudhakaran , Kandeeban Senthil Kumar , Sivalingam Senthil Kumar , Ganapathy Ramesh , Sangameswaran Palanisamy
Published: December 2024

Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition among aging males that significantly affects
their health-related quality of life. OAB symptoms frequently accompany BPH, further degrading patients' quality of life
(QoL). In comparison to tamsulosin monotherapy, this study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of adding solifenacin to tamsulosin
therapy in improving OAB symptoms, IPSS, QoL, Qmax, and PVR in patients with BPH. Methods: Ninety male patients with OAB symptoms
and BPH were divided into two groups at random. Patients in Group 1 (control) received tamsulosin(0.4 mg) alone., whereas patients in Group 2
(observation) received combination of tamsulosin (0.4 mg) and solifenacin (5 mg). A 12-week therapy regimen was administered to both groups.
The Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), and Quality of Life (QoL) questionnaires
were used to measure clinical outcomes both before and after treatment, also post-void residual (PVR) and Qmax were assessed. Result: There
were no notable distinctions between the two groups before therapy. Following treatment, the IPSS, OABSS, and QoL scores of the combination
therapy group were significantly improved than those of the monotherapy group (P<0.01). Additionally, there was a decrease in nocturia, urge
incontinence, frequency, and urgency of urination during the day in the combination therapy group. The combination group saw a slightly
decreased rate of side events, although this difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion: The addition of solifenacin(5mg) to
tamsulosin(0.4mg) therapy in patients with BPH and OAB symptoms resulted in superior symptom relief and improvement in QoL, IPSS,
Qmax, PVR compared to tamsulosin alone, without a significant increase in adverse reactions. These findings support the clinical use of
combination therapy for enhanced management of BPH with associated OAB symptoms.

COMPARISON OF CONVENTIONAL TWO SCREWS PROXIMAL FEMORAL NAIL VERSUS SINGLE HELICAL BLADE PROXIMAL FEMORAL NAILA2 IN THE TREATMENT OF INTERTROCHANTERIC FRACTURES
Authors: Chandak Vivek , Agrawal Amit
Published: December 2024

Introduction: An intertrochanteric femur fracture is a fracture between greater and lesser trochanters of the femur bone. Unstable IT fractures are
those where there is poor contact between fracture fragments, comminution, and weight-bearing forces tend to displace the fracture further.Intertrochanteric fractures are either seen in young adults due to high-energy trauma like in road traffic accidents or in elder population because of lowenergy trauma like fall from height. Proximal Femoral Nail has a two screw system. There is one compression screw in addition to one anti-rotation
screw. Proximal Femoral Nail Anti-rotation II (PFN-A2) utilizes a single helical blade. The helical blade is believed to provide stability,
compression as well as rotational control of the fracture .In a manner it condenses the cancellous bone during insertion into the neck providing
additional anchoring and hence has higher cutout strength compared to other devices.[1] Aim: The aim of this study is to do a comparison of the
radiological and clinical outcomes between two available implants: PFN and PFN A-II. Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients
operated between January 2022 to June 2023. 60 patients were selected in the study with unstable Boyd and Griffin's types 2, 3 and 4. The data was
collected from in-patient and out-patient records. Following variables were noted: Total duration of operation Amount of Blood loss Time taken for
union of fracture Post-operative complications. Follow – up examinations were done after the surgery at intervals of one month, three months, six
months, and one year. Harris Hip Score was used for analysis of functional outcome.The student t-test and chi-square test were used with Stata,
version 26.0 SPSS INC, Chicago, IL, USA for statistical analysis. Results: Out of 60 cases included in the study, 30 were treated with PFN and
remaining 30 with PFN A-II. The mean age was 66.1 years. There was significant difference in mean blood loss between two groups: PFN (148.3+-
50 ml) and PFNA2( 122.7+-50 ml).The average HHS at the one year follow up was 84.9 for PFN and 89.2 for PFN A2. Conclusion: Our study saw
statistically significant reduction in blood loss during operation and duration of operation. The Harris Hip Score also showed better results in cases
operated with PFN AII but the results were not statistically significant. Further research is needed on this topic owing to small sample size of our
study

Published: December 2024

Introduction: Pulmonary manifestations are seen in 9-20% cases of Sjogrens syndrome which include airway abnormalities, interstitial
pneumonias, and lymphoproliferative disorders. Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma (SRCC) a variant of adenocarcinoma rarely metastises to the lung via
lymphatic spread. This lymphangitic spread of tumor causes thickening of septa which appears similar to lymphoproliferative involvement seen in
sjogrens disease. Hence we present a case of Sjogrens disease with suspected lymphoproliferative changes masking lymphangitic spread of an
undiagnosed gastric adenocarcinoma of SRCC variant. A 65-year-old female presented with cough, pain Case Report: abdomen and exertional
dyspnea since 1 month, B/L finger clubbing, dry tongue and B/L coarse crepititions. Evaluation revealed ILD as per outside CT and positive Anti
SSA/Ro 52 autoantibodies. Patient was treated on the lines of sjogrens lung disease, however her worsenining condition prompted further
evaluation. CECT chest and abdomen revealed ? gastric carcinoma with lymphangitic spread to the lungs and superadded infection. This was
confirmed by gastric biopsy revealing SRCC variant of adenocarcinoma. Discussion: Overlapping clinicoradiological picture may obscure a
potentially life threatening condition. We are reporting this case to highlight the possibility of a dual pathology and that a high index of suspiscion
for an alternate diagnosis is required in a worsening patient not improving on current treatment.

Regenerative endodontic procedures involve meticulous disinfection and impervious sealing of the root canal. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA)
has been the commonly used material to achieve the coronal seal. However, MTA's potential for tooth discolouration and its management is
challenging in regenerative endodontics. Internal bleaching has emerged as a reliable solution for post-procedure discoloration. The present case
report demonstrates, successful reversal of crown discoloration caused by MTAusing sodium perborate after 3 month follow-up intervals.

Published: December 2024

Background: Multiple primary malignant tumors (MPMTs) were first described by Billroth as early as in 1889 and first published by Warren and
Gate in 1932. The incidence of multiple primary cancers is being reported to be between 0.734% and 11.7%. The occurrence of another malignancy
in patients with known malignant tumor is known as double malignancy and is categorized into two types- synchronous; in which the cancer occurs
at the same time or within 6 months and metachronous; in which cancer follows in sequence more than 6 months apart. We review the presentation
and management of synchronous and metachronous malignancies in patients with double primary tumors. Methods: This was an ambispective
study conducted in Medical Oncology Department of State cancer institute (SCI), Guwahati in 46 cancer patients diagnosed with histologically
confirmed double primary malignancy. Retrospective data of the cancer site, patient's age at the presentation, gender, type of cancer
(synchronous/metachronous), stage of cancer and treatment were recorded from patients presenting with double malignancies from July 2019 to
June 2024; treatment of all the patients was prospectively followed up till October 2024 Results: In this study, among 46 patients, there were 24
men (52%) and 22 women (48%) with multiple primary malignancies out of which 23 patients (50%) had synchronous primary malignancies and
23 patients (50%) had metachronous primary malignancies. Median age of our patients was 57 (23-75) with maximum patients falling in the age
group of 41-60 years. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) followed by adenocarcinoma (ADC) and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) were the most
common histopathological types of double malignancies Overall, gastrointestinal cancer followed by lung cancer and head and neck cancer were
the most common malignancies. Gastrointestinal, head and neck cancer and genitourinary cancer were the most common primary malignancies.
Lung, gastrointestinal and genitourinary cancer emerged to be the most common second primary malignancy sites. The majority of the patients
received appropriate treatment for both the malignancies. Conclusions: Treatment strategies in cases of double malignancy depend upon treating
the malignancy that is more advanced first, or sometimes both malignancies could be treated simultaneously. If both are amenable to surgical
resection as in one of our case, both the malignancies may be dealt with at the same time. The prognosis of the patients with dual malignancies
depends on the aggressiveness and the stage of presentation of the more advanced malignancy.
A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF CONVENTIONAL NEEDLE IRRIGATION, ENDOACTIVATOR AND ULTRASONICS ON THE PENETRATION OF BIOCERAMIC SEALER INTO THE ROOT DENTINAL TUBULES
Authors: S Patil Shreya , I Sujatha , K. B. Jayalakshmi , T S Sindhushree
Published: December 2024

Although irrigation is one of the most important stages during root canal treatment, it is not possible to guarantee the entry of irrigants to all the
areas in the root canal, especially in the apical third. Therefore, the activation of irrigants can stimulate and help the irrigants to access hard-to-reach
places within the root canal system. This study compared the effect of conventional needle irrigation, endoactivator and ultrasonics on the
penetration of bio ceramic sealer into the root dentinal tubules at 2mm and 5mm from the apex. We observed that irrigation activation systems
significantly influence the penetration of the sealer into the dentinal tubules.

Methods And Materials: Composite resin from five different manufacturers were selected namely Omnichroma (Tokuyama, Japan), Charisma
Topaz ONE (Kulzser, Japan), Ceram.x® SphereTECTM one (Dentsply sirona) Tetric N-ceram Composite IVA (Ivoclar vivadent) and Beautifil II
composite (Shofu, Japan) and a total of 125 microscopic slides were prepared which were divided into 5 groups containing 25 slides each and a
layer of composite resin of each type was placed on the slide and light cured for 40 seconds. Each sample was polished for 20 seconds and surface
roughness was calculated using a confocal laser scanning microscope. Results were statistically analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and
the post-hoc Tukey's HSD analysis at a p<0.05 significance level. Statistically significant differenc Results: e were observed among the groups
(p<0.05), with minimum average roughness (Ra) seen in Group A (0.050 μm ), followed by Group E (0.058 μm), Group B (0.194 μm), Group D
(0.234 μm) and maximum roughness in Group C (0.318 μm). Omnichroma gave the smoothest finished surfac Conclusion: e while Beautifil II gave
the roughest surface. The findings of the present study have clinical relevance in the choice of composite resin to be used.

Authors: Kamble Bhagyashree , Bari Shreya , Iyer Saraswati , Deo Medha
Published: December 2024

Background: The Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) is a widely used tool for assessing hand function. Despite its utility, there is a
lack of Marathi-translated version of MHQ, limiting its accessibility for Marathi-speaking older adults. This study aimed to translate and validate
the MHQ into Marathi for use among Indian older adults. Methods: The study involved a standard forward-backward translation process to ensure
linguistic accuracy and cultural relevance. The translated questionnaire was administered to 40 older adults aged 60 years and above. Reliability
was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, and construct validity was determined by correlating the Marathi and English versions. Results: The
Marathi-translated MHQ demonstrated excellent reliability with an overall Cronbach's alpha of 0.84. The domains showed strong positive
correlations (Pearson's r > 0.86) between the Marathi and English versions. These results validate the reliability and cultural relevance of the
Marathi-translated MHQ. Conclusion: The Marathi-translated MHQ is a reliable and valid tool for assessing hand function in Marathi-speaking
Indian older adults. Its availability in Marathi enables healthcare providers to assess hand function in a large segment of the population, improving
patient care and research in hand-related conditions.
