Published: June 2024

Gas gangrene in a closed pelvic injury is very rare phenomenon and we could not find many reported cases in the literature. Radiographs are not enough for diagnosis and computed tomography (CT) is not widely available yet in primary health center. Basic management includes surgical debridement with incision and drainage of necrotic tissue of the involved area, antibiotic therapy, and surgical intensive care. Delay of the surgical debridement for >12 h is associated with higher overall morbidity. The aerobic and anaerobic bacteria with the indigenous commensal of the pelvis results in the production of exotoxins that leads to severe rapid tissue necrosis and the synthesis of insoluble gases characteristic of subcutaneous emphysema or Fournier's gangrene. Although gas gangrene is often diagnosed clinically, emergency CT can support in early diagnosis with accurate assessment of the disease extent. CT not only helps evaluate the pelvic bony structures but also helps assess the spread of disease in the abdomen and pelvis. The mainstay of the management includes surgical debridement with incision and drainage of necrotic tissue of involved area, antibiotic therapy, and surgical intensive care. Early diagnosis remains the mainstay of the treatment of Gas gangrene. It is important to diagnose these life-threatening conditions and treat them as early as possible. Due to the rarity of such events and the unavailability of gold standard diagnostic and treatment modalities, it is very difficult to prevent the mortality for such patients. There is a need for a better treatment plan to diagnose and manage such patients urgently and not to miss the initial phase of disease progression which is critical for saving the life of the patient.

Aim:

The aim of the present study was to determine the magnitude of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) in patients of >35 years of age presenting with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to the tertiary care hospital in rural Central India.

Settings and Design:

This was a cross-sectional study done in a rural tertiary care hospital conducted for a period of 2 years from October 2016 to September 2018.

Materials and Methods:

We prospectively enrolled all consecutive T2DM in patients aged ≥35 years in this cross-sectional study in rural hospital in central India. Free T4 and thyrotropin estimation have been done by chemiluminescence and the normal range considered was 0.7–1.8 ng/ml and 0.30–5.5 micron IU/ml respectively.

Statistical Analysis:

Statistical analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics using Student's t-test, Chi-square test, and Mann–Whitney test to compare means, proportions, and medians, respectively P < 0.05 will be considered significant. We analyzed the data by STATA software (Version 16, Stata Corporation, Texas, USA).

Results:

The mean age of the study population (n = 174) was 57.7 ± 10.4 years and 61.5% were male and 51.7% had high body mass index. The magnitude of SCH was 7.5% among study participants with T2DM (9.3% in male and 4.5% in female). The magnitude of SCH was higher in the elderly age group, 9.2% in 61–80 years age group compared to 6.4% in 35–60 years age group.

Conclusion:

We concluded from this study that SCH is common in T2DM in our study setting. The prevalence of SCH increases with age, especially elderly female.

Authors: Dongare Pradeep A , Sneha Somappa , Adithya Madavu , Nishanth N , Prasad C. G. S. , Nagaraja Sharath B Burugina
Published: June 2024

Introduction:

The WHO has now declared COVID-19 as endemic and it may be prudent to identify high-risk patients requiring reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). During the pandemic, RT-PCR testing and reporting were running around-the-clock. We attempted to validate this scoring system and predict high probable in the obstetric subpopulation based on a modified early warning scoring system (EWSS) score.

Materials and Methods:

Data were collected from case sheets of pregnant women who were admitted to the obstetrics and gynecology department, according to the EWSS protocol. All the criteria mentioned in the EWSS score were tabulated in an Excel sheet. A modified list of signs, symptoms, and investigations was correlated with RT-PCR. This model obtained was validated with appropriate statistical tests. Patients who had undergone lower-segment cesarean section had hypertension (HTN), and diabetes as comorbidities and were included in the scoring system.

Results:

The odds ratio of the patient being positive was 3.56 with diabetes mellitus and 0.93 with HTN, most presented with minor symptoms such as expectoration, sore throat, dyspnea, and anosmia and these had odds ratio of 7.03, 12.68, 4.24, and 2.45, respectively, but the confidence interval was very wide. In laboratory investigations, C-reactive protein (CRP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) elevations were found commonly and the odds ratio was 16.09 and 8.78, respectively.

Conclusion:

We concluded that if a pregnant woman presents with a sore throat, expectoration, dyspnea, or anosmia and presents with raised CRP and LDH with diabetes as a comorbidity there is a very high probability that the patient may have COVID-19 and needs to be tested or isolated.

Authors: Samroji Odjie
Published: June 2024

The problem addressed in this research is the suboptimal use of digital media for marketing educational services at Muhammadiyah Boarding School (MBS) Yogyakarta, resulting in a less than significant increase in new student admissions. This study aims to explore the influence of digital marketing and service innovation on the acceptance of new students at MBS Yogyakarta, with ICT literacy as a mediating variable. Despite advancements in technology and the availability of various digital media for marketing, MBS Yogyakarta primarily relies on traditional methods such as brochures and word-of-mouth for new student admissions, leading to stagnation in growth. The study seeks to answer how digital marketing affects the acceptance of new students, its impact on ICT literacy, how service innovation influences acceptance, and its impact on ICT literacy. Using an ex-post-facto qualitative approach, the research involved 81 individuals, including school leaders, foundation administrators, teachers, and new student acceptance committee members, employing a saturated sampling technique. Data was collected via questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive analysis and the Structural Equation Model (PLS). The findings reveal that digital marketing significantly impacts the acceptance of new students and ICT literacy and that service innovation similarly positively affects both. Furthermore, ICT literacy mediates the effectiveness of digital marketing and service innovation in increasing new student admissions. The study concludes that digital marketing and service innovation are crucial for increasing new student admissions, with ICT literacy serving as a key mediating factor, suggesting that improving ICT literacy can further enhance the effectiveness of these strategies.

A KPI-pointing system, developed through focus group discussions, also assigns point values to tasks based on their complexity and time requirements. Integrating Google Looker Studio with Google Sheets allows real-time synchronization and web-based monitoring of key performance indicators (KPIs). The dashboard offers detailed insights such as task counts, average KPIs, and monthly performance graphs, providing a comprehensive performance evaluation. The implementation of this system has been well-received by the team, with survey results indicating improvements in tracking performance metrics, ease of use, and enhanced collaboration. While these outcomes are positive, there is still a recognized need for further refinement, particularly in incorporating qualitative data and improving IT support. The KPI Management System has significantly enhanced performance monitoring and management for the drafting team. To keep the system up-to-date and effective, ongoing feedback and iterative improvements must be maintained. Potential future enhancements could include extending the system's use company-wide to foster a culture of continuous improvement and accountability.

The pneumatic manifold system pipes on airplanes contain air with a pressure of approximately 45 psi and a temperature of approximately 117oC. This pipe stretches from the tip of the right wing to the tip of the left and continues to the tail area of ​​the aircraft. The total length of pipe reaches up to 300 meters. The diameter of the pipe reaches a size of up to 7 inches. Pneumatic system duct leaks are very dangerous because they affect aircraft performance and high temperatures can damage components around the leak and can even cause a fire. So far, if a leak is detected, it takes a long time to find the area because the detection method is still manual and visual. For this reason, a heat detection instrument was designed to find leak points in the pneumatic system channels. It is hoped that this instrument can help the process of finding leak points more quickly. The detection results of the instrument after testing its function using a heat sensor show more accurate results because the heat sensor can detect in areas that cannot be seen visually. This detection instrument is also able to measure the overheat temperature level at two stages, namely at 60°C and 100°C.

Gasification is a process of converting compounds containing carbon to change both liquid and solid materials into combustible gaseous fuel (CO, H2, CO2, CH4 and H2O) through a combustion process with a limited air supply, namely 20-40% of the air stoichiometry. The aim of this research is to obtain syngas that is renewable natural gas quality. The gasification reactor used in this research has a reactor diameter of 600 mm and a reactor height of 1500 mm. Research on the characterization of the gasification process in updraft gasifiers made from horse manure using the thermal decomposition method where the gas agent used is air. Variations in the flow rate of the gas agent used are 10, 15, 20 and 30 lt/minute. The results of the research that has been carried out show that the greater the flow rate of the gas agent, the CO gas levels will increase with an average increase of 15%, however the increase in CO gas is followed by a decrease in CH4 gas levels, namely an average of 13%. Likewise, CO2 gas levels decreased by an average of 14%.

Different land uses can influence the characteristics of humic acid in the soil. The study aimed to characterize humic acid in soil from various land uses in Jatiarjo Village, Prigen Distict, Pasuruan Regency of East Java. Soil sampling was carried out on three land uses, namely mixed gardens, bush lands, and dry lands. Sampling was carried out using the purposive random sampling method, where seven points were taken in each land use. Analysis of soil samples included soil chemical characteristics (pH, organic-C, and CEC) and characterization of humic acid using E4/E6 ratio. The results showed that the land use of bush land provided the best soil fertility indicated by the content of humic acid and C-organic in the soil that were higher than that of other land uses. All land uses in Jatiarjo Village, Pasuruan have advanced humification levels, as evidenced by low E4/E6 ratio values (<5).
