Introduction - There is signicant maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity in Fetal Growth Restriction pregnancies. There are chances of
increased fetal hypoxia , asphyxia , meconium aspiration syndrome , macrosomia , low birth weight , hypoglycaemia ,still births and even
neonatal death. The present study was being conducted in light of the crucial role that doppler examination plays in early detection of FGR cases
and possible neonatal morbidity and mortality through prompt management. The present st Aim And Objectives - udy was designed to clinically
correlate the ndings of doppler ultrasound in clinically suspected Fetal Growth Restriction cases with perinatal outcome. The objective was to
study the doppler parameters in clinically suspected Fetal Growth Restriction cases and to relate with their perinatal outcome. Materials and
Method – This study included 80 singleton clinically suspected FGR cases attending Jorhat Medical College and Hospital. It was a hospital based
observational Cross sectional study. Flow velocity waveforms, the resistance index (R.I.), pulsatility index (P.I.), systolic/diastolic ratio (S/D) of
the above vessels were noted.. Cerebro-placental ratio or MCA/UA P.I. ratio was also noted. The ndings of the last week of delivery were
correlated with the perinatal outcomes. In the present study, the ndings of AED Results – F and REDF were associated with signicant morbidity
and mortality. All babies with AEDF and REDF had succumbed to death. Considering cerebro-placental ratio is better than UA PI and MCA PI
alone. Because CPR incorporates data not only on the placental side but also the fetal response. Additional uterine artery Doppler evaluation is also
helpful in predicting adverse pregnancy outcome. Multi vessel colour doppler ultrasound are Conclusion – important monitoring tools in patients
with FGR to identify compromised in utero and to take timely appropriate action

Published: April 2023

Introduction: Thrombocytopenia is the most common cause of abnormal bleeding and can result from Hyper destruction of platelets,
Hypoproduction of platelets and Abnormal platelet pooling. The aim of this study was to evaluate role of platelet indices (MPV, PDW, PCT) in
diagnosing various causes of thrombocytopenia. In this observational analytic study 600 st Methodology: udy samples were divided into two
groups: 300 cases diagnosed as thrombocytopenia (1.5 lakhs /microliter) and 300 healthy control. Cases of thrombocytopenia were further
classied in 3 categories depending upon the predominant mechanism of thrombocytopenia. Statistical Analysis: Mean and SD of platelet count,
mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW) and plateletcrit (PCT) in each group was calculated and compared among groups
using unpaired T- test. Out of 300 cases of Thrombocytopenia, Group A constituted 224 cas Results: es (75%) due to hyper destruction of platelets,
Group B constituted 72 cases (24%) due to hypoproduction of platelets and Group C constituted 4 cases (1%) of Thrombocytopenia due to
abnormal pooling of platelets. On comparing mean MPV and PDW values among groups, the MPV and PDW of hyper destructive
thrombocytopenia was found to be higher than mean MPV and PDW of hypo productive thrombocytopenia as well as control group. The mean
PCT of hyper destructive group was higher than that of hypo productive group. Combined interpretati Conclusion: on of platelet count and platelet
indices are of signicant discriminating value in differentiating various causes of thrombocytopenia thus their standardized measures can
signicantly increase its utility in diagnosis and understanding mechanism of various clinical condition

STUDY OF THE MICROBIOLOGICAL PROFILE OF SPONTANEOUS BACTERIAL PERITONITIS IN PATIENTS OF CIRRHOSIS OF LIVER WITH ASCITIS
Authors: Thomas Anand , K Das A , Sunil Swathi , L Das S. , Sargiary Pallabi
Published: April 2023

Background: Cirrhosis is a chronic disease of the liver in which diffuse destruction and regeneration of hepatic parenchymal cells occur, with
diffuse increase in connective tissue, leading to disorganisation of the lobular architecture1. Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis is a frequent
infectious complication in patients with cirrhosis and ascites. The most common gram negative bacteria isolated from SBP patients with liver
cirrhosis are E coli and Klebsiella spp, while the most common gram positive bacteria are staphylococcus spp, streptococci spp and enterococci 2.
Early antibiotic treatment of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis is critical. However, as the landscape of microbiological resistance is continuously
changing in recent times, with an increasing number of multidrug-resistant organisms, the current management of SBP is more challenging.
Objective: To nd out the pathogens causing Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern. Materials and
Methods:AHospital based prospective observational study was carried out on 109 patients diagnosed with liver cirrhosis and ascites, admitted in
the department of General Medicine. Those patients that t the inclusion and exclusion criteria were chosen as participants and diagnostic
abdominal paracentesis was done before the rst dose of antibiotic and ascitic uid was examined for cell count, neutrophil count, protein, gram
stain, direct microscopy for fungus and bacterial culture and sensitivity. Results: The prevalence of SBP was 24.77%. E-Coli (38.48%) was the
most common bacteria isolated followed by Klebsiella Aerogenes (15.38%), MRSA (15.38%), Acinetobacter Lwofi (7.69%), Klebsiella
Pneumoniae (7.69%), Enterobacter Cloacae (7.69%) and Staphylococcus Aureus (7.69%). Out of 10 gram negative bacteria which were isolated,
3 (23.07%) isolates were XDR (Extensively drug resistant) bacteria and 2(15.38%) isolates were MDR (Multi drug resistant) bacteria.
EXPRESSION OF P53 IN NORMAL, HYPERPLASTIC AND NEOPLASTIC LESIONS OF ENDOMETRIUM
Authors: Jain Anubhuti , Malik Reeni , Balani Sharda
Published: April 2023

Background One of the most prevalent gynaecological cancers in developed nations is Endometrial Carcinoma. Endometrial hyperplasia,
Atypical Endometrial Hyperplasia and nally fully developed, well-differentiated Adenocarcinoma are regarded to be the progression of
premalignant lesions into Endometrial Carcinoma. The p53 signalling pathways are crucial in the development of Endometrial Cancer. Expression
of p53 is associated with Atypical Endometrial Hyperplasia and Endometrial Carcinomas. T Aim & Objective o study the expression of p53 as
molecular biomarker in Normal, hyperplastic and neoplastic lesions of endometrium. Material & Methods A total of 50 cases of endometrial
biopsies were collected over a period of 18 months from January 2020 to June 2021. Samples were received and reported in Department of
Pathology Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. A total of 50 cases of e Results ndometrial lesion were studied. p53 expression was
observed in 80% cases of the Endometrial Carcinoma and 50% cases of Atypical Endometrial Hyperplasia. It was mostly negative in Normal and
Endometrial Hyperplasia. Expression of p53 in Atypical Endometrial Hyperplasia and Endometrial Carcinomas helps to detect the progression and
predicting the response to targeted therapies against carcinogenic pathways. Conclusion p53 expression is mainly seen in Endometrial Cancer and
Atypical Endometrial Hyperplasia. And it is almost absent in Normal and Endometrial Hyperplasia. The dysregulation appears to be most evident
in the Atypical Endometrial Hyperplasia. This expression pattern suggests that p53 over-expression could be the origin of endometrial cancer
KINESIOPHOBIA AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE WEAN-OFF PHASE WITH WALKING AID USERS IN ARTHROSCOPIC REPAIRS: A CORRELATION STUDY.
Authors: Shah Yashi , Korvi Minakshi , J. Palekar Tushar
Published: April 2023

Background: Avoidance of activity is a natural reaction that allows an injury to heal, but in patients following arthroscopic surgery, avoidance
behavior is found to last longer than the actual injury. This can result in kinesiophobia, an irrational, crippling, and devastating fear of movement,
affecting the patients' quality of life. Hence, this correlation study aimed to determine how the domains and subdomains of Kinesiophobia (TSK17) and Quality of Life (WHOQoL-BREF) interact in patients attempting to wean themselves off of walking aids. With the ethical Methodology:
permission and informed consent of 42 arthroscopic patients who fullled the inclusion and exclusion criteria, two scales were administered to
assess kinesiophobia (TSK-17) and QOL (WHOQoL-BREF). Data was gathered and statistically analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefcient.
Results: The ndings show that 71% of the study population had clinically signicant kinesiophobia. Kinesiophobia was found to have a moderate
negative correlation with the physical (r= -0.73) and psychological (r= -0.74) domains, a mild negative correlation with the environmental (r= -
0.33) domain, and no correlation with the social (r= -0.10) domain. This study found a statisticall Conclusion: y signicant inverse relationship
between Kinesiophobia and the domains of quality of life. Thus, kinesiophobia merits further research during the weaning phase, and effective
intervention strategies to reduce its impact on quality of life should be implemented

HASHIMOTO'S THYROIDITIS MIMICKING PAPILLARY THYROID CARCINOMA – FALSE POSITIVE CYTOLOGY WITH HISTOPATHOLOGICAL CORRELATION- A RARE CASE REPORT
Authors: Devi Junu , Chandra Das Mithun , Aziz Naima
Published: April 2023

Background:- It is very rare that cytological diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma by FNAC could not be conrmed by histological evaluation.
One of the reasons for positive cytological nding and negative histological nding of papillary thyroid carcinoma is false positive diagnosis.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis an autoimmune disease can be so extensive may mimic as papillary thyroid carcinoma because it may cause massive
destruction of thyroid gland and may show similar nuclear features like Ptc. A Case Report:- 35-year old female, with a midline neck swelling of
size (4x3)cm2 for one year. On FNAC the thyroid swelling was diagnosed as suspicious for papillary thyroid carcinoma. (Bethesda category v).
However post operative diagnosis was conrmed as Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Hi Conclusion:- stomorphology in conjunction with biochemical
ndings are necessary to conrm diagnosis of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. False positive FNAC result is a pitfall of FNAC. Awareness of
cytopathologist about pitfall of FNACS and strict adherence to adequacy criteria can reduce false positive rates.

Since its outbreak, the virus has been affecting people physically, financially and emotionally as well. While the physical and financial impacts find a voice by many, the emotional side somewhere remains less expressed but no doubt it is of great relevance and needs to be analyzed. Due to a sudden change in the entire world as a result of the pandemic, the social lives of people were disrupted and many families at risk by impacting their food supply, livelihoods and household income and their ability to access critical services for health and nutrition, early childhood care, education and social protection globally and in India. The pandemic is a complex crisis that affects all aspects of life, both immediate and long-term. The United Nations (UN) in India is concerned about the impact of the crisis on vulnerable populations, especially women and children. The interventions, both at the national and state level, provide a strong basis to strengthen access to food, health and nutrition services during these times. Likewise, changes have been brought about in the TPDS scheme which include provision of 5 kg of rice or wheat, per person, per month for 3 months, 1 kg of pulses per household, per month and at home delivery of food rations to vulnerable populations – all free of cost.

Development of Road Transport during British Administration in Sikkim
Authors: - Sunita Kharel
Published: April 2023

Colonial penetration into Sikkim gradually led to the transformation of Sikkim’s social and economic set-up. Two treaties, namely, the Treaty of Titalia, 1817 and the Treaty of Tumlong, 1861 gave British colonialism a strong foothold in Sikkim. From 1861 onward, the British began with surveys of the mountainous areas of Sikkim for road construction. In 1889, John Claude White, a British Political officer was appointed to look after the administration of Sikkim after which earnest attempts were made for road construction. Surveys were carried out and difficult hills and terrains were cut for road access. Soon the country was opened up by a system of roads and the torrents were bridged. In a few years time it was possible to ride from one end of Sikkim to the other. This also broke down the isolation of the traditional villages of Sikkim.
Some Arithmetic Properties of Pólya's Urn
Authors: Fernández José L. , Fernández Pablo
Published: April 2023

Following Hales (2018), the evolution of Pólya's urn may be interpreted as a walk, a Pólya walk, on the integer lattice $\mathbb{N}^2$. We study the visibility properties of Pólya's walk or, equivalently, the divisibility properties of the composition of the urn. In particular, we are interested in the asymptotic average time that a Pólya walk is visible from the origin, or, alternatively, in the asymptotic proportion of draws so that the resulting composition of the urn is coprime. Via de Finetti's exchangeability theorem, Pólya's walk appears as a mixture of standard random walks. This paper is a follow-up of Cilleruelo-Fernández-Fernández (2019), where similar questions were studied for standard random walks.

Published: April 2023

The aim of the article was to substantiate the transformations of the conceptual foundations of sustainable development of territories during the period of post-war ecological restoration of states. The main methodological tools were the methods of modelling, experiment, and morphological analysis. The research showed that countries faced a globally important task in the ecological restoration of territories in the post-war period. The destruction of the environment and its pollution caused by military actions sharply reduce the positive indicators of the state of the environment. It was proved that sustainable development goals act as effective vectors for improving the state of the environment in the period of post-war ecological recovery. The implementation of ecologically significant actions during the post-war ecological recovery in Bosnia and Herzegovina shows that this process is complex and difficult. The problems of contradictory decisions, corruption, and lack of transparency should be considered. The environmental strategy of BiH ESAP 2030+ of Bosnia and Herzegovina, developed by the SDG, can be an example of the corresponding legislative regulation in Ukraine. The UNDP’s project Sustainability of Protected Areas (SPA) implemented in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the context of popularizing ecotourism is also worth noting. A similar project can be implemented in Ukraine in the context of sustainable development of the country during the period of post-war ecological restoration. The main long-term problem in the territory of Ukraine is the demining of regions, which will also determine the terms of implementation of recovery procedures.
Talonavicular Subchondral Fracture Healing on MRI Post Single Autologous Fat-Derived Expanded Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy: A Case Report
Authors: Mubark Hassan
Published: April 2023

A talonavicular fracture is a form of foot fracture that involves the talus and the navicular bones. This sort of fracture is typically triggered by a sudden injury. Management of talonavicular fracture commonly involves immobilizing the foot and ankle with a cast or brace to allow the bones to heal properly. In some instances, surgery could be necessary to realign the bones to ensure appropriate healing. This article presents a middle-aged female, a professional Pilates teacher who suffered an injury to her left talonavicular joint (TNJ) which led to chondral injury and subchondral talar fracture, with an accelerated traumatic TNJ osteoarthritis. She had significant symptoms that interfered with her daily activities and work. She failed anti-inflammatory medicine, intra-articular steroid, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) combined with hyaluronic acid injections. She was offered surgical debridement of cartilage and fusion of the TNJ, instead, she elected experimental intra-articular autologous fat-derived expanded mesenchymal (MSCs) combined with PRP. She reported dramatic clinical improvement two months post-therapy, and a gradual return to her loved work with an MRI six months post-treatment revealing bone remodeling and complete healing of the fracture with associated articular and peri-articular high signals hypothesizing inflammatory healing response rather than the pathological inflammation given she had significant improvement of her clinical presentation and function. This case demonstrates the use of MSC therapy combined with PRP as a non-surgical approach in traumatic chondral injuries and subchondral fracture letting joint fusion as a last resort. Of note, she failed the intra-articular trial of PRP combined with hyaluronic acid while a positive result was achieved when expanded MSCs were combined with PRP as a superior regenerative therapy. We need a large randomized controlled trial to confirm our findings.

EVIDENCE OF SYNCRETISM IN PRE, COLONIAL AND POST-COLONIAL GOA: A TOURISM OPPORTUNITY
Authors: Dias Cheryl Venan
Published: April 2023

The most benevolent and peace-loving community of the Indian sub-continent was exposed to an adversary that hardly understood the socio-cultural fabric of Goa. Customs and traditions were truncated with political decisions that did involve the Junta (Public) but not at the grassroots levels. While the traditions still were handed down through ancestry, the ever imposing force of the Portuguese was to be reckoned with. The people of Goa carried on with the best of both the indigenous systems and western culture. This has left an indelible mark on the tiny state post-colonial era. The ones that blended in received opportunities related to education, employment, and migration to Lusofonic colonies. This paper tries to trace the evidence of Syncretism that was carried on before, during the colonial era and post-liberation.

Authors: Boaheng Isaac
Published: April 2023

One of the central themes in Christian theology is eschatology (the study of last things). Eschatological beliefs are important in shaping human earthly life. Though a very important subject, the concept of eschatology often proves difficult in theological discourses, especially in Africa where over-reliance on the Western approach to the subject makes it inaccessible and incomprehensible to the average Christian. A proper conceptualisation and understanding of Christian eschatology within the African setting can be achieved through theological reflections on the African culture. The relevance of African traditional songs in this regard cannot be overestimated. This paper, therefore, examined Charles Kwadwo Fosu’s (Daddy Lumba’s) Adaka–Teaa (“narrow box/coffin”) from an African Christian eschatological perspective to contribute to the scholarly efforts toward making Christianity more meaningful and relevant to Africans. A literature-based research approach, comprising two steps, was used for this research. The first step was a textual analysis of the lyrics of the song from the African socio-cultural perspective in light of Alexander the Great’s background and life. This was followed by the formulation of Adaka-Teaa eschatology and the deduction of implications for the Christian community. A theological conversation between Lumba and Alexander yielded a culturally sensitive and biblically grounded Christian eschatology for the African audience. The paper found the African worldview about death and the afterlife can serve as a solid foundation upon which Christian eschatological discourses may be built. The findings and conclusions from the paper contribute immensely to the contextualisation and decolonisation of Christianity for the African community.

Malleusocoris, a new South American genus of Myodochini (Hemiptera, Rhyparochromidae) with modified antennae, along with some new synonymies and new combinations for misplaced taxa
Authors: Dellapé Pablo M. , Melo María C.
Published: April 2023

The new monotypic genus Malleusocoris is described to accommodate the new species M. minimussp. nov. from Argentina and Brazil. Its relationship with other genera of the tribe Myodochini (Hemiptera: Rhyparochromidae) is discussed. Moreover, the taxonomic allocation of Ptochiomera chilensis Spinola, 1852 and Plociomera annulicollis Berg, 1894 are discussed. Ptochiomera chilensis Spinola, 1852 is considered a junior synonym of Bergidia polychroma (Spinola, 1852) (Ozophorini); and Plociomera annulicollis Berg, 1894 is transferred to the genus Neopamera Harrington, 1980.

In this article, a consistent study of phase transformations during the crystallization of YBa2Cu3O7-δ compound was carried out using XRD, thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyzes, as well as optical microscopy. When studying the microstructure and elemental composition in the reaction zone in the process of obtaining single crystals by the crucible-less method, the products of chemical reactions were identified depending on the composition of the reacting components and synthesis conditions. It has been established that the use of precursors Y2BaCuO5, YBa4Cu3O9-δ and ВаCu2O2 as initial reagents has made it possible to carry out the direct synthesis of YBa2Cu3O7-δ single crystals without the formation of intermediate phases. The superconductor has been synthesized at 1270 K on single-crystal MgO substrates with the (001) orientation, since their surface is poorly wetted by the melt solution and stimulates the YBa2Cu3O7-δ nucleation process. This ensures the minimum loss of the liquid fraction formed in the sample. The growth conditions for YBa2Cu3O7-δ single crystals have been studied and optimized. It has been experimentally revealed that the use of combined cooling conditions leads to an increase in the size of single crystals and a reduction in the time of their growth without changing the quality and crystal structure. The investigation showed that the largest volume (50 mm3) was achieved for single-phase YBa2Cu3O7-δ single crystals grown at a cooling rate of 0.5 deg/h in the temperature range 1260–1240 K and at a rate of 1.2 deg/h in the range 1240–1210 K. An analysis of the Laue rotation lines obtained in this work indicates the presence of blocks in single crystals cooled in the temperature range 1243–1193 K at a cooling rate of 1.5 deg/h and their absence in crystals cooled at 1.2 deg/h. An assessment of the degree of perfection of the structure by the width of the rocking curves at half-height of the X-ray reflection (006) showed that the width of the rocking curves of 0.36 deg indicates the absence of structural defects, such as twins, blockiness, and shear defects.
How to map potential mesovoid shallow substratum (MSS) habitats? A case study in colluvial MSS

Understanding habitat extension that limits species distribution is a crucial tool for management and conservation, in which habitat mapping plays a pivotal role. The mesovoid shallow substratum (MSS) is a type of shallow subterranean habitat with an important conservation value for invertebrate communities, functioning as climatic/reproductive refuge, biogeographic corridor and/or permanent habitat. Methodologies to map the mesovoid shallow substratum (MSS) are currently lacking. We propose a novel method for colluvial MSS habitat mapping, combining geographic information systems, geological maps, and geological knowledge on the habitat genesis. We tested and validated the efficiency of the method using the Arrábida karst area (Portugal) as a model. The method allowed the remote detection of MSS habitats suitable for invertebrate communities ex situ within the study area, and enabled the estimation of habitat extent. The faunal communities sampled in the selected location were dominated by arthropods, especially insects, showcasing the efficacy of this mapping method to detect suitable MSS habitats. The use of this method considerably reduces the in situ scouting area, providing a more efficient way of locating these habitats. The MSS is protected under EU legislation concerning floral communities and geological features, completely neglecting its faunal communities. This method also allows to estimate potential MSS habitat extension in several lithologies, facilitating the implementation of invertebrate prospections, and the establishment of more effective conservation measures.

Irish Music or Pure Laine? The (Un)Quiet Revolution of Ti-Jean Carignan
Authors: Ó hAllmhuráin Gearóid , Bevan-Baker Kate
Published: April 2023

Honoured as “the greatest fiddler in North America” when he was welcomed into the Order of Canada in 1974, Jean Carignan was a gifted and controversial figure in Francophone Québec – where his music was accepted and rejected in his own lifetime. A street musician who grew up in a poor family, Carignan rose to become one of the most celebrated virtuosos of traditional fiddling in the world, drawing his repertoire and style from Québécois, Irish and Scottish masters Joseph Allard, Michael Coleman and James Scott Skinner, as well as a host of classical violinists. He was the face of Canadian fiddling in North America and in Western Europe during the middle decades of the 20th century. Yet, by the time he died in 1988, he had become a fiddling bête noire ruffling the campaign to create a sovereignist Québec with its own pure laine culture. This article examines Carignan’s “trilingual” soundscape and the maverick “third space” he occupied in the changing zeitgeist of Québécois lifeworlds in the 1970s.

Published: April 2023

The study of graph kernels has been an important area of graph analysis, which is widely used to solve the similarity problems between graphs. Most of the existing graph kernels consider either local or global properties of the graph, and there are few studies on multiscale graph kernels. In this article, the authors propose a framework for graph kernels based on truss decomposition, which allows multiple graph kernels and even any graph comparison algorithms to compare graphs at different scales. The authors utilize this framework to derive variants of five graph kernels and compare them with the corresponding basic graph kernels on graph classification tasks. Experiments on a large number of benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed framework.

Authors: Getachew Emnet , Woldeamanuel Yimtubezinash , Manyazewal Tsegahun
Published: April 2023

Background:

Digital health technologies are emerging as promising technologies to advance clinical care. This study aimed to assess providers' perceptions and acceptability of digital health interventions (DHIs) in the clinical care and treatment of tuberculosis (TB) and HIV in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Methods:

This was a multi-center, facility-based, mixed-method, cross-sectional study that included 14 government health-care facilities. The participants were health-care providers (HCPs) who provide TB and HIV clinical care. Using a tool framed by the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology model, data were collected. A linear regression model was used to assess the relationship between dependent and independent variables.

Results:

There were 76 HCPs actively engaged in HIV/TB clinical care services in the selected 14 study sites, of whom 60 met the inclusion criteria and participated in this study. The major factors that influence HCPs' willingness to use different technologies were educational level (β = 0.097,t= 3.784,P =0.006), age (β = −0.227,t= −1.757,P =0.027), work experience (β = −0.366,t= −2.855,P =0.016). The strongest facilitator of their acceptance and the use of the digital adherence technology were perceptions of positive performance expectancy.

Conclusion:

Many public healthcare facilities in Addis Ababa have already begun the process of implementing various DHIs and the level of acceptability of these technologies by HCPs was found to be high.
