According to risk assessments of getting into an accident, drinking, and driving are one of the leading causes of motor vehicle accidents. Eliminating drunk drivers off the road might potentially save many lives. This article proposes a straightforward in-vehicle alcohol detection system that analyses data from six MQ-3 alcohol sensors using an optimizable shallow neural network (O-SNN). The results of the experimental evaluation show a high-performance detection system, which has a detection accuracy of 99.8% and an inferencing delay of 2.22 seconds. The proposed model may therefore be successfully applied in the Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety (DADSS) system, which seeks to broadly deploy alcohol-sensing devices, to precisely identify in-vehicle alcohol with minimum inference overhead. 75% of all crashes are the result of drunk driving. Based on recent government research, drunk driving is at fault for 75% of all accidents on the road. Every 40 to 70 minutes, an accident occurs in smaller cities. According to government estimates, not using a seat belt results in 100 accidents and 25–27 fatalities. This project is constructed using the open-source electronics platform Arduino. It can read data from light sensors and convert it into outputs that start a motor. As a result, there is limited inference regarding drinking in vehicles. The suggested approach might be used to correctly identify drivers who are under the influence of alcohol.

In this project we present an Internet of Things based Soldier Health Status Detection and Location Tracking System using Internet of Things for the safety purpose of the soldier. The soldier is the critical unit of the nation and their life is valuable. Lot of soldiers are facing many problems such as communication with the control room and no proper medical help at a proper time which leads to the death of the soldier. To minimize such cases, we have proposed a continuous alert system to track location and monitor the health of the soldier. The proposed system is very useful in detecting location of the soldier in real time using GPS and communicating the health status parameter continuously using GSM module embedded in microcontroller. The tiny sensors can be fixed to the Soldier body or dress of the soldier to detect body parameter and transmit the information to the control room and other solider when there is a low body rate or when it falls than the defined threshold value. The soldier can send an alert message to the guardian and control room for the help in the panic situation using an application. The control room/guardian also uses android application to request the location of the solider automatically in the panic situation. The soldier can also request for the nearest hospital information in the emergency.

Published: April 2023

A recommender system, or a recommendation system, is a subclass of information filtering system that provide suggestions for items that are most pertinent to a particular user. Typically, the suggestions refer to various decision-making processes, such as what product to purchase, what music to listen to, or what online news to read. Recommender systems are particularly useful when an individual needs to choose an item from a potentially overwhelming number of items that a service may offer. Recommender systems are used in a variety of areas, with commonly recognized example staking the form of playlist generators for video and music services, product recommenders for online stores, or content recommenders for social media platforms and open web content recommenders. These systems can operate using a single input, like music, or multiple inputs within and across platforms like news, books and search queries. There are also popular recommender systems for specific topics like restaurants and online dating. Recommender systems have also been developed to explore research articles and experts, collaborators, and financial services.

Authors: Agarwal Monika , Jauhari Sugandha , Chaturvedi Rahul
Published: April 2023

Background: Migrant workers suffer poor health due to underutilization of existing health services on account of their floating status, they are missed out on very basic registrations for health services like immunization, ANC visits, supplementary nutrition for mother and eventually the child. They form a major chunk of population that is skipped from ongoing attempts of universal health coverage and especially the children become vulnerable.
Objectives: To study the Immunization and Nutritional Status of migrant children of Lucknow and determine their environmental and living conditions.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 217 intrastate and 183 interstate migrant workers in Lucknow. All randomly selected children 6-59 months of age paired with their mothers were the study population. A semi-structured questionnaire was used for interview. Length and Height of the migrant child were measured using horizontal and vertical wooden scale respectively. Weight was measured using seca weighing scale.
Results: Majority of children in these settings were in the age group of 6-12 months (55.8%). 98.4% of interstate and 95.4% of intrastate migrants do not have an immunization card of the child. Only 14.8% of the total children had fully immunized status appropriate to age. It was noted that among children of the interstate migrants, 31.7% were underweight and 25.7% had SAM while among children of the intrastate migrants 33.6% were underweight and 17.5% had SAM. Wasting was present in 40.0% children out of the total, while 33.1% of the total children were stunted. 73.2 of the interstate migrants and 84.3% of the intrastate migrants were living in a kutcha house. A strikingly high percentage of 91.8% interstate and 90.8% intrastate migrants were still resorting to open field defecation. None of the houses had a separate kitchen.
Conclusion: The immunization and nutritional status of the migrant children was very low and poor. The living conditions of the migrant families were also below par. There is an urgent need of effective health policies for the migrant children to ensure their well-being.

Authors: Apurba Ganguly , Sudip K Banerjee
Published: April 2023

Background: This 12-week study aimed to investigate the efficacy of the topical application of phytoconstituents derived from nine Indian medicinal plants by regulating the biomarker, 4-hydroxyproline protein, that stimulates the production of collagen in cartilage, in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA), characterized by the gradual breakdown of the cartilage that cushions the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, reduced range of motion, limited mobility, and an increased proportion of obesity.
Methods: A total of 144 patients with OA, verified by the Kellgren-Lawrence scale, were included, with 72 receiving topical phytotherapy (TPT) and 72 receiving nutraceutical supplements. At weeks 0 and 12, IL-10, TNF-alpha, malondialdehyde, creatine kinase-muscle, aldolase-A, and 4-hydroxyproline levels, pain-related outcomes, and anthropometric measurements have been assessed as per the approved protocol and kits for both groups.
Results: The results showed that the TPT group had significantly reduced inflammation, oxidative stress, pain, and joint stiffness and improved cartilage formation compared to the control group. The areas under the ROC curves, risk ratios, and Kellgren-Lawrence scores of the studied risk factors in the TPT group were highly significant (p<0.0001) at week 12.
Conclusion: These findings suggest topical phytotherapy for regulating the biomarker, 4-hydroxyproline, of collagen may have great potential in treating OA and provide a novel therapeutic approach for patients suffering from OA compared to the control group, as correlated with the KL scale.

Treatment of Gingival Recession Using VISTA Technique Along with Titanium Prepared Platelet Rich Fibrin (T PRF) - A Case Report
Authors: Rout Manisha , Singh Pragya , Khattri Shivi
Published: April 2023

Background: Both functional and esthetic concerns can result from gingival recession (GR), which manifests as the collapse of both soft and hard tissues. Several recession flaws, in particular, must be addressed within a single surgical session to repair GR, which is difficult to do while minimizing patient suffering. In order to achieve predictable root coverage, new materials and methods are currently being researched. This case report highlights the use of the platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane in conjunction with the vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) approach to correct GR abnormalities.
Case Presentation: This case report describes the use of the T-PRF membrane and the Vestibular subperiosteal tunnelling access technique (VISTA) to treat a Mandibular Miller Class I recession in a 27-year-old male patient. The gingival margin could be repositioned coronally using the VISTA technique, and was afterwards stabilized using the coronally anchored suturing method. The subperiosteal tunnel was lined with T-PRF membrane, and the vertical incision was stitched. Patients were monitored for a period of three months.
Conclusion: Activation of platelets with titanium compared with activation with silica particles provided the distinctive characteristics of T-PRF, including its increased biocompatibility and growth factors in it helped in periodontal healing. This use of T-PRF membrane along with the VISTA technique seems to be a novel approach in managing gingival recession defects with satisfactory results.

Authors: Snehitha K , Sasapu Swapna , Kamala Puvvula
Published: April 2023

Mucorales fungi of Zygomycetes class are found ubiquitously in the environment. Mucormycosis is uncommon and typically associated with patients who are diabetic or otherwise immunocompromised. Cutaneous mucormycosis in healthy patients is frequently the result of trauma and occurs via direct inoculation in to the traumatic wound. These fungal infections were associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. We report a case of 35 year old male patient presented to the casualty after sustaining machinery injury to the left ankle. Swab from the wound site was taken and processed for fungal isolation and identification done as per standard guidelines in Microbiology lab at Andhra Medical College. KOH mount shows broad aseptate hyaline hyphae. Culture on Sabouraud’s dextrose agar (SDA) agar showed cottony woolly colonies. Lactophenol Cotton Blue (LPCB) mount of colonies revealed broad aseptate hyaline hyphae with sporangiophores and sporangium without rhizoids. Mucor spp. was isolated and was correlated with clinical findings. The patient was kept on systemic anti-fungals and wound debridement with K-wire fixation and tendon repair was done. This case illustrated the need of timely microbiological diagnosis and the treatment with ideal anti-fungal agents that have substantial activity against cutaneous mucormycosis, may prove useful for preventing overwhelming infections.

Authors: Beck Thomas J.
Published: April 2023

China and the Modern World, Imperial China and the West, one of several Gale Primary Sources databases, consists of two parts and this database is the first, covering 1815‐1881. The documents are drawn from the FO 17 and FO 605 series of British Foreign Office files held at the
UK National Archives. The database contains correspondence relating to China from missionaries, interpreters, the factories of Canton (modern Guangzhou), interpreters, envoys, legations, consulates, and missions sent to China from Britain. Included are materials on war, diplomacy, international
law, rebellions, trade, piracy, treaty ports, cross-cultural communication, and emigration. Also included are materials regarding the internal politics and relationship between China and Britain, as well as the relationships between other Western powers involved in East Asia. While this database
is relatively easy to navigate, its search functions, though understandable, frequently do not provide results that are apparently relevant to the query submitted. Nevertheless, it provides an impressive collection of primary sources on the history of China in this time period, especially
with regard to its relationship with Britain and the West. The database can be subscribed to or purchased. The starting purchase price ranges from $5,405 (with an annual hosting fee starting at $49) to $7,721 (with an annual hosting fee of $69). Libraries and other
institutions may or may not find this pricing reasonable, depending on their budgets and need for materials on Chinese and British history in this time period. The licensing agreement for this database is too long and detailed, but has average provisions and presents little reason for concern.
