Published: January 2025

The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between peer pressure and adolescent risk-taking behavior: moderating role of family functioning among adolescents of Azad Jammu & Kashmir. This study investigated how demographic variables such as gender and family system relate with peer pressure, risk taking behavior and family functioning. The Sample comprised 300 adolescents from various schools and colleges of Muzaffarabad, Azad Jammu and Kashmir. This study utilized three scales: the Family Functioning Scale (FFS), the Peer Pressure Scale Questionnaire (PPSQ), and the Risk-Taking Behavior Scale (RTBS) which are administered to adolescent participants. Together, these instruments comprised a total of 59 items. For statistical analysis parametric test i.e. correlation, regression, moderation and t-test were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 27) software. Correlation analysis showed positive correlation between peer pressure and risk-taking. Regression analysis result showed that there is significant positive impact of peer pressure on risk-taking behavior. Additionally, our moderation analysis does not indicate a moderating role of family functioning. Alongside there is significant difference in family functioning, peer pressure, and risk-taking behavior based on gender and family system. Gender analysis showed that boys tend to score higher than girls across all variable. Family system type is significantly associated with difference in risk taking and peer pressure, joint family scores higher in risk taking and peer pressure than nuclear family. This research highlights that there is a positive relationship between peer pressure and risk-taking behavior among adolescents but family functioning doesn’t moderate in between them, which indicated the strong influence that peers have on adolescents particularly in encouraging risk-taking behaviors, regardless of family support. It provides valuable insight into how social dynamic factors shape behavior during this developmental stage, where identity and social belonging are highly influential.

Distinguishing Disgust – Behavioural and Physiological Markers of Moral and Physical Disgust
Authors:   , Hawkins Ilover James
Published: January 2025

Moral disgust is a term often used to describe the emotional response experienced when witnessing or hearing of a moral violation committed by another individual (Rozin et al., 2008). Previous research has suggested that whilst this wording is used in common parlance, the use of the term “disgust” is used metaphorically, rather than reflecting a true experience of something akin to physical disgust (Nabi, 2002). More recently, the investigation of moral emotions has found that intention, content, and mode of presentation of moral violations all contribute to reported disgust, and perceived immorality (Parkinson & Byrne, 2018; Russell & Giner-Sorolla, 2011). It has been found that different types of moral violation are more likely to elicit different emotions, with purity (bodily-moral) violations eliciting disgust, and socio-moral violations more likely to elicit anger (Landmann & Hess, 2018). Despite this, much of the extant research in moral emotions either blends these elicitors, presents more than one violation at once, or does not control for intention, making isolation of the experienced emotion difficult. This thesis therefore aimed to contribute to contemporary moral research by reviewing existing literature on the elicitation of physical and moral disgust and developing a series of stimuli which control for the previous limitations. In doing so, it will be possible to determine if the experience of moral disgust is similar to physical disgust, or instead represents a distinct emotion. Study 1 found that intentional purity violations elicit significantly higher levels of disgust and moral condemnation than non-intentional and physically disgusting matches. Studies 2 and 3 aimed to determine if physiological and behavioural markers match those reported by participants when compared to expected patterns identified in the systematic literature review in order to help identify if moral disgust presents similarly to physical disgust or is distinct. Studies 2 and 3 showed primarily through behavioural data, that self-reported disgust and anger depend on how ambiguous these terms are in moral psychology. The thesis concludes by providing recommendations for further investigation of moral emotions. Specifically, whilst moral disgust might represent a form of disgust separate from that of physical disgust, this distinction might go deeper depending on the type of moral violation. It is not sufficient to suggest socio-moral violations might elicit anger over disgust, but instead that this emotional processing is more complex. To better explore this hypothesis, moral emotions should be investigated in the context of which moral emotions are most useful, as a social signal to others to preserve social cohesion.
Exploring Urban Change through Owners’ Lived Experiences of Their ‘Underutilised’ Properties
Authors:   , Cross Charlene
Published: January 2025

This thesis advances our knowledge about “set-aside” urban property. Academic literature often interprets these places as derelict, vacant, brownfields, and focuses on cleaning up these problems by changing inactive, “rubbish” properties into active, “durable” spaces (Thompson, 1979). However, property owners’ perspectives have been overlooked. To address this knowledge gap, this study examines owner activities in Neepsend, Sheffield, as part of a broader urban ecosystem that included occupants, planners and developers. Neepsend was selected because it is a “low-intensity” industrial and commercial area north of Sheffield city centre. Neepsend has been considered “underutilised” and ideal for “higher-intensity” uses, such as housing. Combining constructivist grounded theory (Charmaz, 2014) with Lefebvre’s (1974/1991) Spatial Triad and Rhythmanalysis (Lefebvre, 1992), primary data was gathered using repeat photography walks and semi-structured interviews. This thesis makes a theoretical contribution to knowledge with the Utility Pyramid. Built upon previous studies, this model identifies five sub-categories of “set-aside” property. The empirical findings revealed that “underutilised” property, rather than “set-aside” property, was a critical area of contestation. Landlords were between occupants of organically developed businesses keen to remain in low-rent properties and maximum utility narratives promoted by government authorities. Regardless of their scale of operation, owners of set-aside properties were wary of being negatively stereotyped. When it comes to resisting or complying with top-down plans, the temporalities of owner decisions were complex. Data analysis suggested that juggling multiple priorities was a simple explanation for setting aside property. When deciding whether to hold, buy, improve, or sell their set-aside properties, events in owners' personal lives, their management activities at other properties, and the actions of other owners were all contributing factors. An unexpected finding was the emotional labour involved in landholding. Overall, this research demonstrated how visual cues of seeming abandonment, disguise a wide range of offsite owner activities.
Emergent experiences of primary aged participants in an after-school drama club
Authors:   , Monkhouse Jemma
Published: January 2025

This thesis explores what happens when children explore Shakespeare through drama in an after-school club. It draws on data generated from a ten week after-school club in which a group of 21 Year 6 children explored Shakespeare’s Macbeth using the practice of drama. The research is positioned within the poststructuralist paradigm and draws on Deleuzo-Guattarian (2004) concepts, including affect, emergence, assemblage and the metaphor of the rhizome, alongside thinking from Law (2004) on the role of method in producing realities. The research develops a suite of methods to explore and analyse the experience of individuals within the club. These include methods selected to generate data during the running of the club, including recording of the club using GoPro camera from different perspectives, interviewing ‘in the moment’ and to review, and the use of Actor’s Notebooks (including the researcher’s reflective journal from her experience of the club as a participant observer). Approaches to analysis are developed appropriate to the poststructural methodology and in ways that contribute further to research already applying Deleuzo-Guattarian concepts within literacy studies. Approaches to analysis include the development of a collection of metaphors to support thinking with the data, including a film strip, rhizomic mobile and use of storying. These approaches support thinking with the data in ways that enable stories to be told that explore the potential experiences of individuals through their collective assembling within the club. The analysis considers both human and non-human actors within what assembles and how their intra-action had potential to affect what emerged. Actors considered within what assembled include human actors, texts, material items, feeling histories (Ehret and Hollett, 2014) and embodied, cultural and social histories (Medina and Perry, 2014). Data and analysis resulting from the club and approach to analysis have resulted in three contributions to knowledge:
•A suite of methods to explore multiplicity, potentiality and emergence within educational experience, with the potential to further contribute to poststructural and postqualitative debates within literacy studies and education more broadly.

• A contribution to how affective atmospheres, assemblings and emergence can be understood in relation to literacy studies and educational experience more broadly.

•A new conceptualisation that I term ‘participant-educator’. This details how the theoretical concepts of assembling, emergence, multiplicity and potentiality, alongside the tool of allegory, can be used to sensitise educators to the complexity of educational experience, enabling them to work as participant-educators who are sensitive and responsive to individual experience.
A Culture of Sharing: Mutual Aid Responses to COVID-19 by a Punk Infoshop in Manila, Philippines
Authors: Skelchy Russell P.
Published: January 2025

Etniko Bandido is an autonomous community resource center and infoshop in Manila where locals and visitors gather to discuss ideas and issues and organize cultural events. During the COVID-19 lockdowns, Etniko’s network of local musicians, artists, and activists repurposed the infoshop’s physical space and its political mission of mutual aid to address the needs of the community by, for instance, distributing food and medical supplies. In this context, the local response to the pandemic can be more widely contextualized in the Philippines’ “culture of disaster” and indigenous articulations of mutual aid, which provided an alternative to the dominant consumer society.

Unipolarity in understanding gender equality: ignoring male aspects in global politics
Authors: Madatov Oleg Yakovlevich
Published: January 2025

The presented scientific research reveals a significant imbalance in approaches to ensuring gender equality. An analysis of global trends shows that excessive focus on women's issues creates significant obstacles to achieving genuine gender parity. It is noteworthy that the systematic disregard of masculine aspects in socio-political discourse significantly complicates the implementation of an integrated approach to gender issues. This scientific work focuses on the need to rethink the current paradigm, where the exclusively feminist agenda dominates, which contradicts the principles of comprehensive equality. The subject of the research is to focus on a comprehensive analysis of strategic initiatives and policy documents of supranational structures (in particular, the European Union and the United Nations) in the context of gender issues. The fundamental objective of this scientific work is a critical understanding of the current imbalances in gender policy, followed by the development of scientifically sound tools for the effective implementation of masculine components in the existing system of gender regulation of international organizations. To achieve these goals, various methods were used, including comparative analysis, content analysis, and structural analysis of discourse, which made it possible to identify dominant approaches to gender issues and assess the extent to which men's issues were included in official documents. The results of the study indicate that ignoring issues of masculine identity and gender discrimination creates significant obstacles to the formation of an effective system of gender-legal relations. This problem is aggravated by the emergence of interpersonal confrontations and social tensions in the field of gender interaction. Moreover, there is a disorientation of individuals in the context of behavioral patterns characteristic of both sexes, which leads to discriminatory practices against young people and an escalation of conflict potential in intersex relationships. In the context of modern scientific research, the issue of gender parity requires methodological transformation and rethinking of basic conceptual provisions. The integration of cross-cultural components into the system of social stratification analysis makes it possible to form a multidimensional model of equality that takes into account the ethnocultural and demographic characteristics of various social groups. Of particular importance is the modernization of existing approaches to migration policy through the prism of gender differentiation, which contributes to the creation of an effective mechanism for ensuring equal opportunities on a global scale.

Figurations of Exclusion in 21st-Century Literature: Literature as a Politics of Bodies
Improper Words, Impossible Objects. The Unreal in Adentro tampoco hay luz by Leila Sucari
Authors: Grenoville Carolina
Published: January 2025

In recent Latin American literature, there is an emergence of techniques aimed at blurring boundaries and fostering a state of unknowing, which seek to suspend the normalizing power of symbols and reclaim the small abjections we discard in order to navigate life. These techniques, depending on their procedures and motivations, can be categorized into three broad areas of unknowing: myth, dream, and childhood. This article focuses on the characteristics and compositional forms of childhood through an analysis of Leila Sucari’s novel Adentro tampoco hay luz (2017). The literary devices and narrative strategies in this text interweave various processes of exclusion and subjection, while simultaneously introducing figures of resistance that disrupt a supposedly absolute order, giving rise to impossible objects, singular acts of creation, and new forms of agency.
Fuera de escena. Notas sobre “Hombre de la esquina rosada” de Jorge Luis Borges
Authors: Kohan Martín
Published: January 2025

This paper analyzes Jorge Luis Borges’ short story “Hombre de la esquina rosada”. The story artfully obscures its main episode—the moment when the narrator kills Francisco Real—to achieve a surprise effect in the final paragraph, where the narrator subtly reveals that he is the killer. Throughout the story, crucial events unfold offstage (fuera de escena) and are revealed later. This paper investigates how the narrator employs offstage action and an unexpected final revelation as key narrative strategies. The narrator’s deliberate self-effacement and misdirection culminate in a final, indirect admission of guilt, aligning the story with the mystery genre, where the narrator is the hidden murderer. Borges’s technique of shifting from first to third person, depicting himself as another, enhances the narrative’s complexity, embodying his theme of identity fusion. The present analysis examines how Borges constructs a story where the unseen and unsaid become central to its structure and revelation.
Parsifal al margen. Wagner en el proceso interartístico e intermedial en el Fin del Parzival de Vostell y Dalí
Authors: Piechocki-Serra Julia Magdalena
Published: January 2025

In the late 1970s, Wolf Vostell set out to materialize Salvador Dalí’s scenic project, conceived in the 1920s for Richard Wagner’s opera Parsifal, which was intended to be staged in Paris. The outcome of this interartistic and intermedial dialogue, Fin del Parzival, is currently exhibited at the Wolf Vostell-Malpartida Museum in Cáceres, Spain. The work situates a complex ‘assembly’ of ‘advanced’ art in a ‘natural’ environment (Los Barruecos Natural Park), attracting and intensifying the center/periphery dialectic inherent in avant-garde and neo-avant-garde movements, as highlighted by Fernando Castro Flórez (2015). Within this framework, the article analyzes the particular significance of the substitution of the ‘bicycles’ from Dalí’s Parisian scenography with Wolf Vostell’s ‘motorcycles’, some of which belonged to Franco’s personal guard.
La percepción cromática y su aplicación en español, italiano y polaco en películas infantiles audiodescritas
Authors: Del Valle Cacela Verónica
Published: January 2025

This article aims to explore audio description scripts created for children’s audiences, focusing specifically on how these scripts convey the colours that appear in films and contribute to narrative development. After presenting the theoretical framework, which includes studies on colour perception, the audio descriptions in Spanish (both European and Latin American), Italian, and Polish are analyzed for two films: Leo and El Rey Mono. Both films were released in 2023 and contain significant references to colour. The analysis is conducted within the context of Wilson and Sperber’s Relevance Theory. This study emphasizes that colors not only enhance visual stimulation but also contribute to narrative development. It is demonstrated that there are notable differences in the treatment of color across intralinguistic and interlinguistic versions, revealing that the omission or alteration of color descriptions may impact the audience’s understanding, particularly for children with visual impairments.

The claustrum complex is viewed as fundamental for higher-order cognition; however, the circuit organization and function of its neuroanatomical subregions are not well understood. We demonstrated that some of the key roles of the CLA complex can be attributed to the connectivity and function of a small group of neurons in its ventral subregion, the endopiriform (EN). We identified a subpopulation of EN neurons by their projection to the ventral CA1 (ENvCA1-proj. neurons), embedded in recurrent circuits with other EN neurons and the piriform cortex. Although the ENvCA1-proj. neuron activity was biased toward novelty across stimulus categories, their chemogenetic inhibition selectively disrupted the memory-guided but not innate responses of mice to novelty. Based on our functional connectivity analysis, we suggest that ENvCA1-proj. neurons serve as an essential node for recognition memory through recurrent circuits mediating sustained attention to novelty, and through feed-forward inhibition of distal vCA1 neurons shifting memory-guided behavior from familiarity to novelty.
Modified MobileNetV2 transfer learning model to detect road potholes
Authors: Tanwar Neha , Turukmane Anil V.
Published: January 2025

Road damage often includes potholes, cracks, lane degradation, and surface shading. Potholes are a common problem in pavements. Detecting them is crucial for maintaining infrastructure and ensuring public safety. A thorough assessment of pavement conditions is required before planning any preventive repairs. Herein, we report the use of transfer learning and deep learning (DL) models to preprocess digital images of pavements for better pothole detection. Fourteen models were evaluated, including MobileNet, MobileNetV2, NASNetMobile, DenseNet121, DenseNet169, InceptionV3, DenseNet201, ResNet152V2, EfficientNetB0, InceptionResNetV2, Xception, and EfficientNetV2M. The study introduces a modified MobileNetV2 (MMNV2) model designed for fast and efficient feature extraction. The MMNV2 model exhibits improved classification, detection, and prediction accuracy by adding a five-layer pre-trained network to the MobileNetV2 framework. It combines deep learning, deep neural networks (DNN), and transfer learning, which resulted in better performance compared to other models. The MMNV2 model was tested using a dataset of 5,000 pavement images. A learning rate of 0.001 was used to optimize the model. It classified images into ‘normal’ or ‘pothole’ categories with 99.95% accuracy. The model also achieved 100% recall, 99.90% precision, 99.95% F1-score, and a 0.05% error rate. The MMNV2 model uses fewer parameters while delivering better results. It offers a promising solution for real-world applications in pothole detection and pavement assessment.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to investigate the timing and mode of failure of metallic screw-type suture anchors used to attach artificial tendons to bone in an in vivo New Zealand White rabbit model.

Study Design

Metal suture anchors with braided composite sutures of varying sizes (United States Pharmacopeia (USP) size 1, 2, or 5) were used to secure artificial tendons replacing both the Achilles and tibialis cranialis tendons in 12 female New Zealand White rabbits. Artificial tendons were implanted either at the time of (immediate replacement, n = 8), or four/five weeks after (delayed replacement, n = 4) resection of the biological tendon. Hindlimb radiographs of the rabbits were obtained immediately after surgery and approximately every other week until the study endpoint (16 weeks post-surgery).

Results

All suture anchors used for the tibialis cranialis artificial tendons remained secure and did not fail during the study. The suture anchor used to attach the Achilles artificial tendon to the calcaneus bone failed in nine of 12 rabbits. In all cases of suture anchor failure, the suture broke away from the knot, while the metallic screw remained securely embedded in the bone. Based on radiographic analysis, the mean estimated failure timepoint was 5.3 ± 2.3 weeks post-surgery, with a range of 2–10 weeks. Statistical analyses (Mann–Whitney U test and Fisher’s exact test) revealed no significant effect of tendon implantation timing or suture size on either the timing or frequency of suture anchor failure.

Conclusion

For the suture anchors used to attach artificial tendons in this study, suture anchor failure was most likely due to suture wear or cutting against the eyelet of the anchor screw. Future studies are needed to test the effect of suture-eyelet interaction on suture strength under different loading conditions.

Published: January 2025

Purpose

Few data are available on the causality of cerebral artery fenestration (CAF) triggering cerebral infarction (CI) and this study aims to identify representative morphological features that can indicate risks.

Methods

A cohort comprising 89 patients diagnosed with CAF were enrolled from a total of 9,986 cranial MR angiographies. These patients were categorized into Infarction Group (n = 55) and Control Group (n = 34) according to infarction events. These two groups are divided into two subgroups depending on fenestration location (basilar artery or other cerebravascular location), respectively, i.e., BA Infarction Group (n = 37), BA Control Group (n = 23), Non_BA Infarction Group (n = 18), Non_BA Control Group (n = 11). This study firstly defined 12 indices to quantify the morphological characteristics of fenestration per se and its connecting arteries. The data were evaluated using either the independent sample t-test or the Mann–Whitney U test. Conducting univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses to ascertain potential independent predictors of CI.

Results

The initiation angle φ1 and confluence angle φ2 at the fenestration in the Infarction Group are both smaller compared to the Control Group, but only the Infarction Group and BA Infarction Group have significant difference (p < 0.05). The maximum left fenestration axis (fAL) and the left tortuosity index (TIL) were greater in the Infarction Group for CAFs than those in the Control Group (p < 0.05). In contrast, the maximum right fenestration axis (fAR) and the right tortuosity index (TIR) were smaller than those in Control Group (p < 0.05). The logistic regression analysis revealed that φ2 (AUC = 0.68, p = 0.02), fAL (AUC = 0.72, p < 0.01), and fAR (AUC = 0.70, p < 0.01) serve as independent risk factors influencing the occurrence of CI. The regression predictive model achieved an AUC of 0.83, enabling accurate classification of 77.5% of cases, indicating a robust predictive performance of the model.

Conclusion

Morphological results demonstrated a left-leaning type of fenestration with more narrow fenestration terminals indicating a higher risk of CI occurrence. Furthermore, the regression predictive model established in this study demonstrates a good predictive performance, enabling early prediction of CI occurrence in fenestrated patients and facilitating early diagnosis of CI.

Objective

Breast cancer stands as the most prevalent form of cancer among women globally. This heterogeneous disease exhibits varying clinical behaviors. The stratification of breast cancer patients into risk groups, determined by their metastasis and survival outcomes, is pivotal for tailoring personalized treatments and therapeutic interventions. The pathological sections of radical specimens encompass a diverse range of histological information pertinent to the metastasis and survival of patients. In this study, our objective is to develop a deep learning model utilizing pathological images to predict the metastasis and survival outcomes for breast cancer patients.

Methods

This study utilized pathological sections from 204 radical mastectomy specimens obtained between January 2013 and December 2014 at the Second Affiliated Hospital of the Medical College of Zhejiang University. The 204 pathological slices were scanned and transformed into whole slide imaging (WSI), with manual labeling of all tumor areas. The WSI was then partitioned into smaller tiles measuring 512 × 512 pixels. Three networks, namely Densely Connected Convolutional Network 121 (DenseNet121), Residual Network (ResNet50), and Inception_v3, were assessed. Subsequently, we combined patch-level predictions, probability histograms, and Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) features to create comprehensive participants representations. These features served as the foundational input for developing a machine learning algorithm for metastasis analysis and a Cox regression model for survival analysis.

Result

Our results show that the Inception_v3 model shows a particularly robust patch recognition ability for estrogen receptor (ER) recognition. Our pathological model shows high accuracy in predicting tumor regions. The train area under the curve (AUC) of the Inception_v3 model based on supervised learning is 0.975, which is higher than the model established by weakly supervised learning. But the AUC of the metastasis prediction in training and testing sets is higher than value based on supervised learning. Furthermore, the C-index of the survival prediction model is 0.710 in the testing sets, which is also better than the value by supervised learning.

Conclusion

Our study demonstrates the significant potential of deep learning models in predicting breast cancer metastasis and prognosis, with the pathomic model showing high accuracy in identifying tumor areas and ER status. The integration of clinical features and pathomics signature into a nomogram further provides a valuable tool for clinicians to make individualized treatment decisions.

Introduction: Supraglottic Airway Devices (SGAD) are effective substitutes for general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation. Compared to endotracheal intubation, these SGADs provide haemodynamic stability and lesser airway morbidity. Now-a-days, second and third generation SGADs, differing in their design, have been used in clinical practice due to their better clinical performance. The Baska mask, which belongs to the third generation of SGADs, has features that assist in the aspiration of gastric content and provide higher oropharyngeal leak pressure. Its unique design claims suitability for use in spontaneously breathing anaesthetised patients. Hence, the present study was conducted to compare the performance of the Baska mask and the I-gel.

Aim: To compare the Baska mask and I-gel in terms of ease of insertion, haemodynamic stability, oropharyngeal sealing pressure at five minutes and 30 minutes post-placement, and post-extubation complications.

Materials and Methods: A prospective randomised single-blinded study was conducted in the Department of Anaesthesiology, Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India from October 2019 to October 2020 on 60 American Soceity of Anaesthesiology (ASA) physical status I and II patients, aged between 18-65 years, who were scheduled for minor surgical procedures while spontaneously breathing under general anaesthesia. These patients were randomly assigned to either the Baska group (Group B) or the I-gel group (Group I) using computer-generated random numbers. Both groups were compared with respect to airway pressure, sealing pressure, ease of insertion of the device, number of attempts to insert, haemodynamic changes during and after insertion, and any complications. The outcomes were analysed using statistical software Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0 and repeated measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was applied to find the relationship between the two groups.

Results: It was observed that the I-gel mask was easier to insert compared to the Baska mask (p=0.03). The first-attempt success rate for the Baska mask was lower compared to the I-gel group (p=0.03). However, the Baska mask provided higher airway sealing pressure (p=0.04) and a good seal in spontaneously breathing anaesthetised patients.

Conclusion: Based on the results of present study, it can be concluded that the Baska mask provided better sealing pressure, which was beneficial in spontaneously breathing anaesthetised patients. However, the I-gel mask was superior to the Baska mask in terms of ease of insertion, shorter insertion time, and negligible postoperative complications.

Introduction: Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious complication in children with type 1 diabetes, characterised by hyperglycaemia, metabolic acidosis and ketosis. It often leads to cardiac arrhythmias due to electrolyte imbalances and prolonged corrected QT interval (QTc).

Aim: To investigate the frequency of QTc prolongation and QT dispersion (QTd) in paediatric DKA patients and their relationship with serum electrolytes and pH.

Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted over a one-year period (August 2022 to August 2023) in the paediatric Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Institute of Child Health and Hospital for Children, Egmore, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The study included 150 children aged 1 to 12 years diagnosed with DKA. Electrocardiograms (ECGs) were recorded both at presentation and after recovery from DKA, with QTc and QTd evaluated using a 12-lead ECG. The Mann-Whitney U test was employed to compare medians and Interquartile Ranges (IQR) between two groups, while Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used to assess relationships between variables, with results illustrated through a scatter plot. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: Significant correlations were found between prolonged QTc intervals and severe acidosis, with affected patients exhibiting lower bicarbonate levels and higher anion gaps and blood ketone levels. After treatment, both QTc intervals and QTd significantly decreased, indicating improved cardiac repolarisation. Strong positive correlations were noted between QTc intervals and both the anion gap and blood ketone levels.

Conclusion: The study highlights the QTc prolongation and QTd in children with DKA, which are closely linked to metabolic derangements. Routine ECG monitoring is essential for the early detection of QT prolongation, aiding in the prevention of life-threatening arrhythmias and improving patient outcomes.
