Authors: Tirpude Bhupesh Harish , Annamwar Ashwini , Gajbhiye Raj , Deshpande Gayatri
Published: September 2022

Background: Chronic granulomatous mastitis is a rare benign breast condition that can mimic breast cancer. The present study was undertaken to assess the demographics, clinical presentation, etiology, diagnostic tools and management of patients with CGM.Methods: This descriptive observational study was conducted in total 83 women who presented with breast lump with tenderness associated with fever for more than 4 weeks of duration in the Department of General Surgery at Tertiary Care Centre from June 2018 to December 2020.Results: In all cases breast lump was chief complaint, of maximum (38.5%) had this illness since last 1 to 4 months. 48 patients had past history of tuberculosis. Axillary lymph node was enlarged in 24.1% and body temperature was raised in 57.8% of cases. Skins over the lump were presented with indurated with multiple pus discharging sinuses (50.6%) and palpable mass with erythema and ulcerative skin lesion (49.4%). On biopsy all the patients presented with granulomatous mastitis and on USG, hypoechoic mass was presents in all cases. Patients were managed medically by IV antibiotic and AKT (57.8%) and IV antibiotic with oral corticosteroid (42.2%). Incision and drainage were done in 74 cases while 8 required wide local excision and in 1 patient mastectomy was done.Conclusions: The histopathology remains the optimal diagnostic tool. Corticosteroid therapy has been shown to be efficacious for CGM, but in the existence of many complications, surgical treatment has been first method of choice. We consider that wide local excision is the better treatment choice if possible.

Authors: Baghel Aditya Singh , Anand Krishnanand , Gupta Saumya
Published: September 2022

Background: Outcome of laparoscopic cholecystectomy is determined by an array of factors including patient & gallstone-related variables. Number of gallstones influences pathophysiology of disease thereby influencing outcome of surgery. This study was aimed at investigating clinical, haematological, radiological features and surgical outcomes among patients having single and multiple gallstones. Methods: Single centre, hospital-based, prospective, observational study involving 60 patients undergoing LC. Data pertaining to clinical, hematological, radiological variables and surgical outcomes were collected and analysed.Results: Mean duration of symptoms (m/c- pain) was significantly shorter among participants having multiple gallstones (p=0.034). There was no statistically significant difference among participants having single and multiple stones regarding any of clinical signs and symptoms (p>0.05). Mean GB wall thickness among patients having single and multiple gallstones was 3.27 mm and 4.18 mm (p=0.038). Difference in proportion of patients having pericholecystic collections was statistically significant (p=0.019). Mean duration of surgery among participants with single and multiple stones was 57 minutes and 71 minutes, respectively (p=0.012). On intraoperative examination, adhesion was noted in 20% of participants with single stone and 35% of participants in multiple stones group (p=0.029). Conversion rate to OC was 12% in multiple stones group and only 3.4% of participants with single stone (p=0.028). Adjusted odds ratio for conversion to OC was 3.39 (95% CI 1.98-7.89) for patients having multiple gallstones.Conclusions: Although patients having single and multiple gallstones have similar clinical features, findings of ultrasonography and surgical outcomes may differ significantly.
Comparison of outcome following knee immobilization versus no immobilization in the immediate post operative period following arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Authors: Kumar Debangshu , Kundu Bishal
Published: September 2022

Background: Post operative bracing following ACL reconstruction has been traditionally used in post operative period to reduce pain limit knee range of motion to protect against valgus and varus stress. There is a lack of consensus in published literature regarding knee immobilization. The aim of this study is to compare the functional outcome and pain control in patients using knee immobilizer with those not using them in immediate post operative period.Methods: A total of 60 patients admitted with ACL tear who were admitted from January 2020 to August 2021 were enrolled in this study and randomised into two groups, given knee immobilizer or no immobilizer following arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. Patients were assessed for pain, knee range of motion and functional outcome with 6-month follow-up.Results: VAS score for pain was significantly lower for knee brace users (p=0.24) on post-op day2 but there was no significant difference on subsequent measurements. Also, the IKDC Score, arc of motion of knee joint and complication rate did not show significant difference between the two groups.Conclusions: Based on this study, the use of a knee brace for improving short term outcome following ACL reconstruction is not justified and adds to the cost of treatment. A short cylindrical back slab for 2-3days can serve the same purpose of controlling pain and soft tissue protection.
A series of emergency presentations of diverticular disease of colon
Authors: Sabu M. Ravi Kumar , R. Kannan , Prabakar Joyce
Published: September 2022

Diverticular disease of the colon is commonly prevalent in developed countries, especially in the western population. This is mainly attributed towards their food habits which include less dietary fibre which is the primordial cause of diverticular disease. Its incidence is gradually increasing in developing countries, especially in southern parts of India due to rapid change in food habits which are moving towards western culture. Majority of the patients with diverticular disease may remain asymptomatic. Diverticular disease presents to the hospital with a wide variety of symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, malaise, bleeding per rectum which manifests because of its complications. Hence the early presentations of diverticular disease should not be missed and proper evaluation should be carried out in suspicious cases to prevent complications which can be deadly. Here we present a series of cases that are received in our emergency department as a complication of diverticular disease. This is a case series in which we study the emergency presentations of diverticular diseases admitted in Rajiv Gandhi government general hospital. Here diverticular disease is proven by a series of investigations that include evaluation of acute abdomen such as x ray abdomen erect, ultrasound abdomen, contrast enhanced computed tomography and histopathological examination with appropriate management.
Extended radical cholecystectomy with curative potential for well selected locally advanced carcinoma gall bladder: a case report and review of literature
Authors: Thammaiah Pradeep
Published: September 2022

Gallbladder cancer is an aggressive malignancy that is associated with a poor prognosis. While surgical resection provides the only curative option, the majority of patients are not considered resectable due to locally advanced disease and presence of metastatic disease at the time of presentation. Here we presented a case of 46-year-old female with symptoms and initial workup suggestive of obstructive jaundice with cholestasis. PET-CT demonstrated heterogeneously enhancing mass lesion arising from neck of gallbladder and involving adjacent liver parenchyma with FDG avid para-aortic nodes. Liver biopsy confirmed adenocarcinoma, ERCP revealed tight hilar structure and CBD stent was placed. Patient was diagnosed with cT4, N2 carcinoma gall bladder and received two cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) with gemcitabine and cisplatin. In view of localized and stable disease following NACT, patient underwent radical cholecystectomy with wide liver resection involving segment 4b and 5 with hepatoduodenal, portocaval and aortocaval lymph node dissection. Patient had post-operative complications, managed conservatively. On follow up patient had improved appetite, gained weight adequately, received adjuvant chemotherapy and is disease free till date. Carefully selected patients may benefit from an aggressive surgical approach following upfront systemic chemotherapy.

Published: September 2022

Background: To determine the demographic details and management choices of anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) for the newly diagnosed epilepsy patients in India.Methods: This was a retrospective, observational study conducted among newly diagnosed epilepsy patients in India between Apr 2021 and Mar 2022. The demographic parameters, treatment given, adherence to treatment, and clinician’s global assessment for effectiveness and safety of management options were evaluated.Results: Out of 20,343 patients, majority of the patients were aged between 31-50 years (54.5%), and 62.7% of them were males. Majority of the patients were diagnosed with focal epilepsy (72.2%). Migraine was the most common (28.3%) neuropsychiatric comorbidity among these patients followed by anxiety (19.7%), stroke (18.5%) and depression (11.2%); other commonly reported comorbidities were hypertension (38.27%), gastrointestinal disorders (25.39%), and diabetes (22.06%). Levetiracetam (49.6%) was the most commonly prescribed AED, followed by valproate (29.1%), oxcarbazepine (15.5%), clobazam (13.3%) and lacosamide (8%). With the prescribed AEDs, majority (91%) of the patients had decrease in seizure frequency, most (99.2%) patients had ‘good to excellent’ adherence to the therapy, and clinicians rated the efficacy and safety of prescribed drugs as ‘good to excellent’ in most (99.9%) patients.Conclusions: Epilepsy was common in patients aged 30-50 years with male preponderance. Focal epilepsy was more prevalent. Overall levetiracetam was the most prescribed AED. Levetiracetam and valproate were the most prescribed AEDs among focal and generalized epilepsy respectively. AEDs were well tolerated by most of the patients.

Background: The state government directed its efforts to mitigate transmission of new variant SARS-CoV-2 called Omicron. This study aimed to describe pathways and characteristics of home isolation (HI) deaths reported in Kerala during third wave of pandemic.Methods: The study adopted retrospective cross sectional descriptive approach, conducted among HI patients who died from January15th to February 15th 2022. The sociodemographic, clinical characteristics and the events that happened prior to deaths were collected through verbal autopsy. The state declared 106 HI deaths with case fatality rate of 2% (95% CI 1.5-2.50%). After screening, 70 HI deaths (54 home deaths and 16 in-transit deaths) were studied.Results: Majority were home deaths (84.29%) followed by in-transit deaths (15.71%). Mortality was higher among older persons (94.28%), females (51.42%), unemployed (68.57%) and patients in rural community. Majority had comorbidities (80%) mainly diabetes mellitus (55.35%). The median interval from symptom onset to death was five days (IQR) 4-8) and that from diagnosis to death was four days (IQR 2-8). Majority reported red flag signs (83.07%) commonly breathlessness (83.34%). Most of the deceased (80%) did not monitor oxygen saturation. The study identified four patterns of HI deaths, primarily due to delay in identification of red flag signs and hospitalization.Conclusions: Non-compliance to oxygen monitoring, slow response towards red flag signs and delay in hospitalization were the main reasons for HI deaths. Stringent monitoring mechanism for HI patients at primary health care and meteoric referral strategy can prevent fatalities in future.

CTOR plates- Revolutionizing treatment of complex malocclusions
Authors: Dua Vinay , Kaur Amandeep
Published: September 2022

Temporary Anchorage Devices have been the only means of providing absolute anchorage but have complications of causing soft and hard tissue damage and requires well-formed cortical bone. Also, they are unable to tolerate torsional forces and moments. For this reason, miniplates had come up with the advantage of providing more surface area but are difficult to place as they require flap surgery and also removal post treatment. CTOR plates have revolutionized the way of harnessing anchorage by ease of placement, removal and patient comfort. They are placed with the help of two implants and come in wide variety of shapes and modifications, increasing the magnitude of orthodontic treatment modality. They are placed at a distance from soft tissues and thus cause no irritation. Intrusion, extrusion, protraction and retraction of teeth are some of the orthodontic movements that can be achieved without any loss of anchorage from the CTOR plates. Thus, CTOR greatly expands the ability of Orthodontists to treat severe skeletal problems non-surgically.

A review article: The mysterious pericytes
Authors: Sharma Jyoti , Sharma Bhagwat Swaroop , Sangwan Nitin , Sinha Neel Ratan , Deshbhakt Indubhusan
Published: September 2022

Blood vessels are composed of two types of interacting cells. Endothelial cells form the inner lining of the vessel wall, and perivascular cells referred to as pericytes, vascular smooth muscle cells or mural cells which envelop the surface of the vascular tube. They are also called Rouget cells after their discoverer, Charles Rouget. Electron-microscope analyses first revealed the morphological character of pericytes. In general, pericytes possess a cell body with a prominent nucleus and a small content of cytoplasm with several long processes embracing the abluminal endothelium wall. They are embedded within the basement membrane of microvessels, which is formed by pericytes and endothelial cells. Pericytes play an integral role in the maintenance of the blood–brain barrier as well as several other homeostatic and hemostatic functions of the brain. These cells are also a key component of the neurovascular unit, which includes endothelial cells, astrocytes, and neurons. Pericytes provide a variety of functions such as capillary blood flow regulation, clearance and phagocytosis of cellular debris, angiogenesis formation of new blood vessels and regulating blood–brain barrier permeability. Recently, pericytes have gained new attention as functional and critical involvement to tumor angiogenesis and progression. Therefore as potential new targets for antiangiogenic therapies. Pericytes are complex. Their ontogeny is not completely understood, and they perform various functions throughout the body. This review article describes the current knowledge about the nature of pericytes and their functions during blood vessel growth, vessel maintenance, and pathological angiogenesis.
Protocols for standardization regarding golden proportion in facial profile analysis
Authors: Shah Kaushal , Trivedi Kalyani
Published: September 2022

The argument whether the well renowned composition – the golden section, a number approximate equal to 0.618 – holds the key to the secret of beauty, is an enigma which has existed from the time of ancient Greeks with Fechner being one of the first to conduct study on golden proportion in the 1980s. The normal human face was considered by Ricketts to be the most beautifully perfect structure in all of the animal kingdom. In an attempt to study the face, the “divine proportion” was explored in relation to the Dentofacial complex, claiming that a number of golden relationships existed in the faces, Cephalogram, and study casts of those considered having outstanding beauty. There has to be set protocols to assess facial profile analysis based on different criteria. Here, we have taken a call to review for assessment of craniofacial morphology in relation golden proportion.
Hypnosis in dentistry-Easing patient anxiety
Authors: Sultan Amina , Kaur Mandeep , Juneja Akanksha
Published: September 2022

A visit to the dentist for consultation alone is enough to cause the heart rate to increase and 58% of patients having anxiety towards dental treatment has been reported. Amongst various pharmacologic and non- pharmacologic adjuncts available to address dental anxiety, the therapeutic value of hypnosis requires a fresh and deeper look so as to decipher the potential benefits and to create a wider awareness and acceptance of its proven efficacy in anxiolysis.

The benefits of hypnosis explained well to the patient at the initial visit and before commencement of treatment, can nudge her towards a greater relief in dental phobia, anxiety and pain tolerance. This article explores the role of hypnotherapy as a facilitator for anxiolysis in dentistry.

Published: September 2022

: We conducted KAP studies on Rabies Prevention among Patient attending ARV clinic of tertiary health care centre in central India. There is a paucity of published literature describing the public’s knowledge, attitude and practices of rabies prevention in central India, information that is critical to developing effective interventions and government policies. Hence the present study was conducted among 135 study participant who are attending ARV clinics of tertiary health care centre in central India.

To assess the knowledge, attitude and practices on rabies prevention among the patient attending the ARV clinics. To assess the Proportion of animal exposure in the study area and to find out the association of socio-demographic factors with knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) related to rabies.

A cross-sectional study was conducted on 135 eligible participants in rabies vaccination clinics (ARV). We performed a face-to-face interview to investigate the rabies KAP of these participants using a self-designed questionnaire consulted with experts was done. Study was conducted from January to March 2022 by using consecutive sampling till the sample size was achieved.

Factors associated with the KAP were evaluated using logistic regression models, 48.14 % participant aware regarding rabies disease, Younger age, and graduate and above had higher score compared to old age and less than high school, Participants who were younger (p < 0.000), who received better education (p < 0.000), and who reported good economic status (p = 0.05) were more likely to have higher scores of attitudes, participant who had older age (p<0.007).who had less education (p<0.00),who had poor socio-economic status (p<0.00) had lower score.

: Lack of knowledge and attitude is suboptimal in study participant however practice regarding rabies vaccination is good in male and younger population.
Chronic high BP - My case study and solution

Published: September 2022

This is the record of my journey with High BP, a brain stroke survivor and hopefully my story will help researchers of the field to advance the understanding of the field and help patients struggling with similar problems. This in no means is a research study as a modern research project requires multiple cases, with control groups, proper methodology while for this the only subject is me and my limited knowledge. More importantly I don’t consider myself to be learned on the subject to recommending anyone about it. At best this provides the hypothesis which someone can test and either prove or disproves it. However, in my limited knowledge this seem to make sense and it corroborates with my understanding of human body and physics. Also, the language of this paper might feel very basic or non-technical, but as I am an MBA marketing with computer science engineer by education with biology only till 12standard. This is the best I could come up with to make it easy to communicate.
Potencial del uso baterías para arbitraje intertemporal de precios en América Latina: los casos de Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colombia y Uruguay

Published: September 2022

Este trabajo tiene como principal objetivo discutir la viabilidad económica que tendría la instalación de un banco de baterías con fines de arbitraje intertemporal. Para términos del sistema eléctrico, la batería tiene muchos usos complementarios, entre los que se encuentra el arbitraje intertemporal de la electricidad. Sin embargo, existe mucha incertidumbre en relación con el despacho futuro de la batería y poca disponibilidad de datos. Para simplificar nuestro análisis y contribuir a la discusión, se considera un uso de batería basado en el arbitraje con el precio spot (o costos marginales) en una muestra de países con distintos niveles de integración de Energía Renovable Variable (ERV) en su matriz de generación. El análisis de resultados muestra que en los cinco países de estudio el costo de la instalación de un banco de baterías con fines de almacenamiento, desde 2018 hasta la fecha, es mayor que el beneficio que se podría recibir del arbitraje intertemporal de los costos marginales. De este modo, la viabilidad de las baterías dependerá de la reducción de los costos de inversión de estas, de la integración de ERV y de los avances regulatorios con el objetivo de promover la existencia de un mercado de capacidad en los países de América Latina.
A Synthesis of Research on Mental Health and Remote Learning: How Pandemic Grief Haunts Claims of Causality
Authors: Moore Stephanie , Veletsianos George , Barbour Michael
Published: September 2022

While there has been a lot of debate over the impact of online and remote learning on mental health and well-being, there has been no systematic syntheses or reviews of the research on this particular issue. In this paper, we review the research on the relationship between mental health/well-being and online or remote learning. Our review shows that little scholarship existed prior to 2020 with most studies conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. We report four findings: (1) pandemic effects are not well-controlled in most studies; (2) studies present a very mixed picture, with variability around how mental health and well-being are measured and how/whether any causal inferences are made in relation to online and remote learning, (3) there are some indications that certain populations of students may struggle more in an online context, and (4) research that does not assume a direct relationship between mental health and online provides the best insight into both confounding factors and possible strategies to address mental health concerns. Our review shows that 75.5% of published research on this topic either commits the correlation does not equal causation error or asserts a causal relationship even when it fails to establish correlations. Based on this study, we suggest that researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and administrators exercise extreme caution around making generalizable assertions with respect to the impacts of online/remote learning and mental health. We encourage further research to better understand effects on specific learner sub-populations and on course—and institution—level strategies to support mental health.
Evaluation of Male Infertility
Authors: İBİŞ Muhammed Arif , YAMAN Önder
Published: September 2022

Infertility is a condition that has psychological and social effects on couples. Around 50% of fertility problems originate in males. The causes of male infertility are highly variable, and many health conditions, congenital or acquired diseases can affect male fertility. While some causes are reversible, some of the causes are curable but not reversible. The main purpose of a male assessment is to identify correctable causes that may affect the fertility or health status of the patient. Correction of curable or reversible factors can improve both couples to have children and improve the general health of the man. Despite several research in this field, in many cases, the underlying causes are unknown. A proper infertility evaluation is essential to prevent complications associated with assisted reproductive techniques and testicular sperm extraction (TESE), and psychological problems that may result from failure, and to provide accurate preoperative information to patients. Initial evaluation for fertility should include a detailed physical examination along with his medical and reproductive history. Although sperm analysis is still a critical assessment in evaluating male infertility, the introduction of advanced diagnostic tests facilitates the determination of the etiology. This paper discusses the evaluation of male infertility in light of current guidelines.
Travel and tourism policies and enabling conditions: An analysis of strategies in Mauritius and Egypt
Authors: Rasethuntsa Boitumelo Caroline , Perks Sandra
Published: September 2022

The best travel and tourism policies and enabling conditions play a significant role in promoting tourism competitiveness. Africa’s weak global tourism competitive position emanates from its inability to develop appropriate tourism policies and its failure in providing enabling structures to support competitive tourism among others. The aim of this article is thus to investigate the best travel and tourism practices used by high-ranking African countries (Egypt and Mauritius) in the Travel and Tourism Competitive Index (TTCI) to suggest suitable travel and tourism policies and create enabling conditions to promote tourism elsewhere in Africa. The study analyses secondary data about the best practices applied to prioritise the tourism sector, international openness, price competitiveness and environmental sustainability. It is established that the two selected countries utilise strategies such as the establishment of promotion bodies, diversify their markets, search for investment, pursue the expansion of air transport, practice international openness through embassies and bilateral agreements, and develop and enforce environmental laws. The study identified that collaborative efforts between all tourism stakeholders were an essential component in establishing a healthy tourism industry. This article contributes towards the body of knowledge by highlighting how African countries can model tourism policies and supportive structures to enhance their competitiveness.

​Effect of Date of Sowing on Growth, Seed Yield and Economics of Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea) Varieties under Rainfed Conditions
Authors: Sharma S.K. , Kumar Amit
Published: September 2022

Background: Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) is an important rabi crop raised under rainfed areas of Haryana. Optimum time of sowing plays an important role in augmenting the productivity of Indian mustard. There is a need to find out the optimum time of sowing of Indian mustard to overcome the yield gap under present scenario of climatic conditions. Different cultivars may respond differently to different sowing time. The current study aimed to study the effect of date of sowing on growth, seed yield and economics of Indian mustard varieties under rainfed conditions. Methods: In this field experiments were conducted during rabi 2018-19 and 2019-20 at Dryland Agriculture Research Farm, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. The experiment comprising of 3 dates of sowing (16 October, 23 October and 30 October) and 4 varieties of Indian mustard (RH 30, RH 406, RH 725 and RH 761) was laid out in split plot design with three replications. Result: Crop sown on 23th October produced significantly taller plants over 30th October sowing. However, yield attributes viz., number of siliquae per plant, number of seeds per siliqua and test weight was successively decreased with delayed sowing of the crop. Seed yield was highest (2499 kg/ha) when sown on 16th October as compared to 23th October and 30th October sowing. Highest net returns (₹ 92674/-) and BC ratio (5.23) was recorded in 16th October sowing over other dates of sowing. Among varieties, RH 725 produced significantly higher seed (2583 kg/ha) and stover yield (7415 kg/ha) over RH 30, RH 406 and RH 761. Variety RH 725 also recorded higher net returns of ₹ 95940/- and B:C ratio of 5.38 compared to other varieties.

Urbanismo sostenible
Authors: Rúa Rodríguez Juan Alfredo
Published: September 2022

Gran parte de la población colombiana vive actualmente en ciudades. Las tendencias muestran que el crecimiento de la población seguirá concentrándose en las áreas urbanas, puesto que favorecen la disminución de la pobreza y ofrecen un mercado mucho más amplio de posibilidades para mejorar sus ingresos y, en consecuencia, su calidad de vida. Sin embargo, dicha tendencia plantea retos importantes en la planeación sostenible de las ciudades, por lo que deberán garantizar la disponibilidad de recursos suficientes para su consumo en condiciones de calidad, bajo la premisa de impactar lo menos posible el entorno natural y no seguir afectando las regiones que sirven de soporte a la infraestructura requerida por las áreas urbanas para su funcionamiento. Es así como este libro, a través de conceptos básicos y experiencias nacionales e internacionales, ilustra a los lectores acerca de la necesidad de masificar un cambio de cultura en las formas de producción urbana y en los patrones culturales de consumo de los habitantes, con el objeto de disminuir la presión sobre las áreas naturales de valor ambiental y de producción agrícola, e introducir cambios en la forma de hacer ciudad, aludiendo a conceptos de desarrollo sostenible con criterios de innovación. El urbanismo, mediante una planeación sostenible, se configura entonces como una oportunidad de consolidar ciudades en armonía con su entorno natural y de gran calidad ambiental para los seres humanos que la habitan.
