Authors: Dugg Kavita , Kathuria Suneet , Gupta Shikha , Gautam P. L. , Singh Tanveer , Bansal Hanish
Published: July 2022

Background and Aims:

To overcome the procedure-related complications associated with landmark-guided percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) ultrasound is emerging as a promising tool. Present study was designed to compare landmark-guided PDT and ultrasound-guided PDT in terms of efficiency, efficacy, and accuracy.

Material and Methods:

Hundred intensive care unit patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation were prospectively randomized into 2 groups of 50 patients each. In land mark guided (LMG) group, patients underwent landmark-guided PDT, whereas in ultrasound guided (USG) group, patients underwent ultrasound-guided PDT.

Results:

Both the groups were comparable in terms of demographic data, sequential organ failure assessment score, ventilator settings, and mean days on mechanical ventilation prior to PDT. The mean assessment time in the ultrasound-guided group (1.56 ± 1 min) was significantly more (P-value = 0.000) than in the landmark-guided group (0.84 ± 0.72 min). The mean total procedure time for the USG group (5.98 ± 10.23 min) was more than that for the LMG group (4.86 ± 8.03 min) (P-value 0.542). Deviation of puncture site from the midline was seen in two patients in group A as compared to none in the USG group (P-value = 0.153). The number of patients requiring more than one attempt for successful needle insertion was more (P-value = 0.148) in the LMG group (20%) as compared to USG group (8%). Incidence of complications, like bleeding and desaturation was more in the LMG group as compared to the USG group.

Conclusion:

Ultrasound-guided PDT is associated with reduction in periprocedural complications as compared to landmark technique, although it takes slightly longer time.

Authors: Kundra Sandeep , Luthra Neeru , Dureja Mehak , Gupta Rekha , Bansal Hanish , Singh Mirley R.
Published: July 2022

Background and Aims:

Effectiveness of oral gabapentin premedication in suppressing response to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation suggests its potential for attenuating skull pin insertion response. The present study was therefore planned to evaluate the effect of add-on oral gabapentin premedication to local anesthetic injection at pin insertion site in obtunding hemodynamic response.

Material and Methods:

Sixty adult patients posted for elective craniotomy were enrolled for a prospective, randomized and double-blinded study. Group I patients received gabapentin 900 mg orally as premedication whereas Group II patients received oral placebo. Both groups were administered subcutaneous (s.c.) injection (Inj) 2% lignocaine 2 mL at all four pin insertion sites. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were measured every 30 s for the initial 10 min. Increases in HR beyond 20% and MAP 30% above baseline were treated with bolus intravenous (IV) Inj propofol 30 mg. Quantitative data was compared using Student’s t-test and Mann Whitney U test, while categorical data was compared using Chi-square (χ2) test.

Results:

The increase in HR and MAP from baseline was significantly greater and it remained above baseline levels longer in Group II as compared to Group I. Twenty-one patients (70%) received rescue boluses of propofol with a mean dose of 45.00 ± 39.98 mg in Group II as compared to nine (30%) patients receiving mean of 18.20 ± 29.04 mg in Group I. (P = 0.015). The mean emergence time and sedation scores in both the groups were statistically similar (P = 0.060).The incidence of adverse effects like hypotension, bradycardia, nausea/vomiting, sedation or dry mouth were similar in both the groups.

Conclusion:

Add-on oral gabapentin premedication potentiates the effect of s.c. lignocaine Inj for suppression of skull pin insertion response.

Authors: Sharma Manoj , Sharma Bimla , Gupta Manish , Panday Bhuwan Chand , Sahai Chand , Sood Jayashree
Published: July 2022

Background and Aims:

The LMA® ProSeal™, LMA® Supreme™ and Ambu® AuraGain™ are second-generation supraglottic airway devices (SADs) with integrated gastric access. In this study, we compared the clinical performance of these three devices in adults for controlled ventilation in anesthetized paralysed patients.

Material and Methods:

Two hundred and seventy adults, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status I-III, undergoing elective surgical procedures, were randomized into three groups with 90 patients in each: Group 1: LMA® ProSeal™, Group 2: LMA® Supreme™ and Group 3: Ambu® AuraGain™. All the three devices were evaluated for oropharyngeal seal pressure (OSP) and other parameters: ease and the number of attempts at device placement, fibreoptic laryngeal view and intraoperative and postoperative complications.

Results:

In the present study, the mean OSP was 38.9 ± 3.050 cm H2O in the LMA ProSeal™ group, 37.41 ± 4.097 cm H2O in LMA® Supreme™ group and 37.32 ± 3.740 cm H2O in Ambu® AuraGain™ group. The difference was found to be statistically significant (P = 0.006). The three groups were comparable for the ease of device insertion, number of attempts at device placement, fibreoptic laryngeal view, intraoperative and postoperative complications.

Conclusion:

In this study, we found that the LMA® ProSeal™ provided the highest OSP in comparison to the other two devices, even though this difference is not clinically relevant. The use of Ambu® AuraGain™ was associated with difficult and lowest first-time insertion success rate (P < 0.001) along with an increased incidence of airway trauma as compared to the other two SADs.
Pre-shaped supraglottic airway devices offer an alternative to endotracheal intubation for airway management of postburn neck contracture: A case series
Authors: Kumar Rakesh , Kumar Sunil , Kumar Neera G. , Bhandari Padam S.
Published: July 2022

Background and Aims:

Moderate to severe postburn contractures (PBCs) of the neck lead to multiple areas of difficulty in airway management. Awake flexible fiberscope guided intubation with cuffed endotracheal tube (ETT) is considered the “gold standard” for securing the airway in these cases. Supraglottic airway devices (SADs), if at all used, are used either as rescue devices or as conduits for ETT. This case series looks at the possibility of using SADs as a planned airway securing device in these cases.

Material and Methods:

We managed 24 cases of moderate to severe PBC neck using six types of pre shaped SADs as the first choice airway device. These SADs were placed after either airway topicalization (19 cases) or general anesthesia (GA) (5 cases). Once SAD placement was confirmed, all the patients received GA and muscle relaxant. Tests for proper placement and function and fiberscopy (conducted in four cases) were performed at various times during the procedure. The SADs were removed once the patients were fully awake.

Results:

SADs could be placed in one attempt in all the cases. The time taken to hand over the patients to surgeons was 12–20 min. SADs maintained their proper placement and function in spite of changing airway dimensions during contracture release. The patients tolerated the SADs well right until the time they were fully awake. The SADs could be successfully removed on the operation table in all the cases.

Conclusion:

Pre shaped SADs secure the airway quickly and are free from the risk of intraoperative displacements and allow uneventful emergence in moderate and severe PBC neck cases and need to be considered as the first choice in these cases.

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a rare and rapidly progressive syndrome with mortality rate of 5.6%. The spectrum of onset, progression and outcome is heterogeneous and is associated with number of risk factors. In our case series, we entail the triggers, hospital course and outcome of five interesting in-patient cases that were admitted to our service in a tertiary care hospital in Northern India. This case series is to highlight the first ever reported case of NMS triggered by levosulpiride administration, along with one of the few first cases of NMS after programming of DBS, hypothyroid disorders, levodopa readjustment and selective basal ganglia and cerebellar injury following the hyperthermic syndrome. This is also to bring to attention of clinicians worldwide the atypical risk factors of NMS, and stress the importance of staying vigilant for the same by frequent follow-ups and high degree of clinical suspicion. We also aim to generate epidemiological data about these atypical triggers.

Authors: Sayed Mohammed E. , Ahmad Manawar , Abdul Hina Naim , Ageeli Osama Abdu , AlShafie Talal , Alrefaei Ali Mohammed
Published: July 2022

Purpose:

An accurate and functional interocclusal record is very important in restorative dentistry, and any inaccuracies may lead to extensive intraoral adjustments, which can compromise the esthetics and/or mechanical strength of the restorations. The current literature lacks a direct comparison of dimensional accuracy and time efficiency between conventional and powered mixing techniques. The present study compared the accuracy and efficiency of recently introduced powered mixing gun with the conventional handheld gun that was used to mix two silicone-based bite-registration materials.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 100 bite registrations were recorded on maxillary and mandibular typodont models mounted on a semi-adjustable articulator. Of these, 50 bite registrations were recorded using a handheld conventional mixing gun technique and the other 50 using a handheld powered mixing gun technique. Both types of bite registrations were performed using fast and superfast set bite-registration materials. The dimensional accuracy and time efficiency of both techniques were analyzed and compared.

Results:

The accuracy and time efficiency of the handheld powered gun mixing technique were significant (P < 0.05) than the conventional mixing technique for fast set bite registration material in vertical distances A1A2 (P = 0.01), B1B2 (P = 0.015), and C1C2 (P = 0.001). However, for horizontal distances AB (P = 0.008) and AC (P = 0.001), accuracy was more significant (P < 0.05) for the superfast set bite registration material compared to the fast set material using the powered mixer.

Conclusion:

The powered mixing gun technique was more accurate and efficient than the conventional mixing gun technique for recording the bite registration using fast and superfast set materials.

Authors: Lu Chia-Hung , Hsiao Jong-Kai
Published: July 2022

Nanotechnology changed our understanding of physics and chemics and influenced the biomedical field. Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONs) are one of the first emerging biomedical applications of nanotechnology. The IONs are composed of iron oxide core exhibiting magnetism and coated with biocompatible molecules. The small size, strong magnetism, and biocompatibility of IONs facilitate the application of IONs in the medical imaging field. We listed several clinical available IONs including Resovist (Bayer Schering Pharma, Berlin, Germany) and Feridex intravenous (I.V.)/Endorem as magnetic resonance (MR) contrast agents for liver tumor detection. We also illustrated GastroMARK as a gastrointestinal contrast agent for MR imaging. Recently, IONs named Feraheme for treating iron-deficiency anemia have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Moreover, tumor ablation by IONs named NanoTherm has also been discussed. In addition to the clinical application, several potential biomedical applications of IONs including cancer-targeting capability by conjugating IONs with cancer-specific ligands, cell trafficking tools, or tumor ablation agents have also been discussed. With the growing awareness of nanotechnology, further application of IONs is still on the horizon that would shed light on biomedicine.

Authors: Kaske Jr Rick Todd , Connaher Brady , Mahfuz Mohammad Upal
Published: July 2022

In this paper, a smart greenhouse project has been presented as an example of a sustainability-focused project-based learning experience for undergraduates. While project-based instruction and learning experience has already gained enough momentum in several fields of education, the inclusion of sustainability perspectives from the science and engineering fields of studies is yet to make its room in the current course curricula as well as in the mindset of new generations of engineering undergraduates. This smart greenhouse project is an example of how sustainability can be brought into a classroom setting of engineering and technology programs as a project-based learning experience. The objective of this smart greenhouse project is to create an automated system capable of growing vegetation with little human input by utilizing electricity, computer programming, and a microcontroller operation. While this project was implemented by a group of two students with electrical engineering technology (EET) major as parts of their Introduction to Programming (ET 142) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (ET 342) courses requirements at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA, a similar sustainability-focused project-based learning approach can also be applied successfully in other courses at different levels of engineering and technology programs at other academic institutions.
Equivariant heat and Schrödinger flows from Euclidean space to complex projective space
Authors: Fennell James
Published: July 2022

We study the equivariant harmonic map heat flow, Schrödinger maps equation, and generalized
Landau–Lifshitz equation from

\mathbb{C}^n

to

\mathbb{CP}^n

. By means of a careful geometric analysis, we determine a new, highly useful representation of the problem in terms of a PDE for radial functions from

\mathbb{C}^n

to

\mathbb{S}^2

. Using this new representation, we are able to write explicit formulas for the harmonic maps in this context, and prove that they all have infinite energy.We show that the PDEs admit a family of self-similar solutions with smooth profiles; these solutions again have infinite energy, and give an example of regularity breakdown. Then, using a variant of the Hasimoto transformation applied to our new equation for the dynamics, we prove a small-data global well-posedness result when

n=2

. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first global well-posedness result for Schrödinger maps when the complex dimension of the target is greater than 1.

In the final section we study a special case of the harmonic map heat flow corresponding to
initial data valued in one great circle. We show that the

n=2

case of this problem is a borderline
case for the standard classification theory for PDEs of its type.
Overdetermined ODEs and rigid periodic states in network dynamics
Authors: Stewart Ian
Published: July 2022

We consider four long-standing Rigidity Conjectures about synchrony and phase patterns for hyperbolic periodic orbits of admissible ODEs for networks. Proofs of stronger local versions of these conjectures, published in 2010–12, are now known to have a gap, but remain valid for a broad class of networks. Using different methods we prove local versions of the conjectures under a stronger condition, ‘strong hyperbolicity’, which is related to a network analogue of the Kupka–Smale Theorem. Under this condition we also deduce global versions of the conjectures and an analogue of the

H/K

Theorem in equivariant dynamics.We prove the Rigidity Conjectures for all 1- and 2-colourings and all 2- and 3-node networks by showing that strong hyperbolicity is generic in these cases.

Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Li Qi , Cho Taig Youn
Published: July 2022

The functional separation of structure and skins in architecture has emerged in Gothic architecture. The Industrial Revolution accelerated the production of metal and glass, which led to the functional separation of structure from the skins becoming a common architectural design style after the 19th century. The architectural skins is liberated from the structure and assumes the role of expressing beauty. In this context, there are some suggestions on the visual design points of architectural skins and architectural structure given from the perspective of neuro-aesthetics in this paper. This study was conducted in accordance with the following procedure. First, The concept and experimental data related to fluency theory and aesthetic A-HA theory are used to determine human susceptibility to transparency. There is a way found to generate good feelings that is semi-translucent architectural skins. Second, Determine the ideal architectural features through the "Prospect and Refuge" model based on the "Embodiment Theory" and the "Dwelling Theory". Third, Analyze the visual role of semi-translucent architectural skins and building structure based on the "Prospect and Refuge" model from the perspective of symbolism. Fourth, Found the effect of expectation on memory representation in perceptual processing through the comparative analysis of aesthetic model. Fifth, Vitruvius's architectural theory regards utilitas(functionality), firmitas(strength), and venustas(aesthetics) as the expected universal values of architecture. Sixth, In terms of memory representation, some suggestions on the visual characteristics of building structures in buildings are proposed with translucent building skins. On this basis, this study puts forward the following suggestions. Buildings with semi-translucent skins are attractive. Semi-translucent building skins should indicate that it is supported by a solid structure. In terms of visual perception, the firmness of the structure on the back of the semi-translucent skins satisfies the universal aesthetic consciousness. The good feelings generated in this automatic cognitive processing process based on unconscious implicit memories can have a positive impact on cognitive outcomes. In terms of visual perception, the stability of the structure projected on the back of the translucent skin satisfies a general aesthetic sense.Therefore, an expression with visual appeal - translucent architectural skins and visually perceived stable building structures are proposed in this study.

Affective Bodies: Intimate Design Practices to Reinvent the Everyday
Authors: Paez Roger , Valtchanova Manuela
Published: July 2022

This article investigates some of the implications of intimate design practices by presenting two academic projects carried out within the context of an uncertain present. It argues that design practices have the capacity to foster intimacy and affect through the lens of the politics of care. Drawing on the notion of affective bodies, the authors claim that design can explore new paths to reinvent the everyday, focusing on recent crisis-ridden contexts. The article examines how intimate practices that reformulate everyday politics can reclaim temporality, active citizenship and radical affectivity as infrastructural needs in contemporary urban habitats. 

The two case studies date from March 2020 through December 2021 under the climate of crisis brought about by the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Western Europe and the ongoing Mediterranean refugee crisis. Given the escalation of the blurring between the private and public spheres, the personal and the political, it is especially relevant to explore intimacy as a means of enacting politically empowered action through design. Both case studies aim to temporarily interrupt conventional uses of collective urban spaces in order to generate pockets of resistance that explore the subliminal potentials of urban spaces and allow us to imagine, and even experience, different ways of living through an updated lens of care. These irruptions of intersubjective appropriations of urban spaces not only have an emblematic impact, but also a cumulative effect by generating a growing network of affective bodies in action. This emergent affective network offers relevant opportunities for the transformation of crisis-ridden urban contexts through dynamic interactions between sociality and spatiality.

The exceptional complexity of the content and social role of sports greatly complicates the efforts to define this social activity through an appropriate definition. In this respect, in the legal literature it can be distinguished two completely opposing views. According to one of them, the unique definition of sport cannot be completely comprehensive and it has no character of functionality. On the contrary, another viewpoint is characterized by an effort to define sports in a more comprehensive way. For the purpose of conceptual determination of sport through a unique definition, the author considers the key settings of the aforementioned considerations.

In the first decade of the new millennium, the Republic of Serbia, like the other states of the former socialist bloc, started out through reforms and the transition of society, which affected all areas of social life. The purpose of the announced and partially implemented changes was to democratize society, develop a stable political system, create conditions for economic development, and overall progress. An important element of the initiated reforms of the socio-political and economic system is the professional and rational organization of state authorities. From the point of view of legal security and the rule of law, the judicial and internal affairs bodies have the primary place, especially in creating the environment of legal security and access to justice equally for all. Part of the reform process is the transformation of the administration and the police as an integral part that must be complementary to the needs of the community, businesses and citizens. The paper presents the most important international and domestic legal sources of importance for the reform of the MoI – police, problems and challenges in the way of achieving this goal and the rule of law. In the final part there are also some suggestions de lege ferenda for improvement of the current legislative framework and police-legal practice, especially in the context of Serbia's application for admission to the EU.

Published: July 2022

This study aims to discuss government policies in tackling the crime of trafficking as a criminal act that violates human rights. Trafficking is a transnational crime and Indonesia as a country with a large number of trafficking victims. Trafficking victims are women/children, various endemics are the reasons for the occurrence of Trafficking crimes against vulnerable groups based on social, economic, and cultural conditions. The method used in this research is a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. In dealing with the crime of trafficking, it is necessary to do it bilaterally/multilaterally. Various prevention efforts have been carried out by the government through law enforcement (penal) against perpetrators as well as a form of protection for victims such as providing compensation to both victims and their families. However, the lack of understanding and professionalism of law enforcement officers in dealing with the crime of trafficking has resulted in this crime not being able to be resolved optimally, so there needs to be an integrated handling of cases by prioritizing non-penal efforts and involving the community in crime prevention and control, namely through preventive and repressive efforts.
Active teaching & learning practices and students’ academic performance in secondary schools in Arua District
Authors: Bileti Acidri Emmanuel
Published: July 2022

The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the degree to which Active Teaching and Learning (ATL) practices influence students’ academic performance in secondary schools in Arua district. The specific objectives of the study were to (1) analyse the levels at which ATL methods, techniques and instructional materials are used in secondary schools in Arua district (2) examine the level of students’ academic performance in secondary schools in Arua district (3) evaluate the influence of ATL on  students’ academic performance in secondary schools in Arua district. The paper hypothesized that there was no significant influence of ATL practices on students’ academic performance in secondary schools in Arua district. A sample of 120 was drawn comprising of head teachers, deputy head teachers, directors of study, subject teachers and students from four Enabel partner secondary schools in Arua district. A mixed method research design was used. Data was collected through use of questionnaire survey, observation guide and focus group discussions. The study revealed that the level to which ATL methods were used at Secondary schools in Arua district was moderate at mean of 3.10 (62%), ATL techniques was very high at Mean 4.39 (88%) and ATL Instructional resources was high at Mean 3.84 (77%). Level of students’ performance was high at mean 3.72 (75%). The influence of ATL practices on students’ academic performance was positive with r – value .634 and Coefficient of Determination (r2) at .401 meaning that ATL practices had influenced students’ academic performance by 40.1% by the study period leaving 59.9% influenced by other factors. The null hypothesis which stated that there was no significant influence of ATL practices on students’ academic performance in secondary schools in Arua district was rejected because the P-value of 0.000 was found to be less than the significance level of 0.01. Teachers and other stakeholders should always be innovative in the use of ATL methods, instructional resources and techniques to enhance students’ academic performance.

This study was carried out to examine the relationships between the distributions of raphignathoid mite (Acari: Raphignathoidea) species and their temporal and environmental site factors (i.e. season, habitat type, and altitude) in Pülümür Valley and its immediate environs, Turkey. Data was collected from 306 samples from the various locations in the study area. 70 raphignathoid mite species were identified. The most common raphignathoid species, genus, and family are Neognathus terrestris, Eustigmaeus, and Stigmaeidae, respectively. It has been also found that the greatest number of raphignathoid mite specimens has been encountered in autumn, followed by spring, summer, and winter, respectively.Before applying the statistical analysis, rare species (i.e., the species having less than 5% frequency value) were omitted from the data matrix. Thus, the first (original) matrix size was reduced from 70⨉306 to 20⨉242. Elevation is a continuous variable whereas seasons and habitat types are nominal data. Therefore, each of the seasons (winter, spring, summer, and autumn), and each of habitat types [i.e., litter, soil, soil and organic components, mixed material consisting of moss and liken, and the others (manure and ant nest)] were inserted as binary data [present (1), absent (0)] in the data matrix.Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CANOCA) was applied to define the species-site relationships. Findings indicate that Caligonella haddadi, Neognathus terrestris, Cryptognathus lagena, Raphignathus gracilis, and Stigmaeus devlethanensis are significantly associated with moss and lichen habitat whereas litter, grassy and mossy soil are more suitable habitat types for Favognathus amygdalus, F. cucurbita, Raphignathus kuznetzovi, Eustigmaeus dogani, E. pinnatus, E. segnis, Ledermuelleriopsis aminiae, L. ayyildizi, and Storchia robusta. In addition to this, three species Favognathus cucurbita, Eustigmaeus segnis, and Ledermuelleriopsis plumosus are positively and six species Caligonella humilis, Neognathus terrestris, Favognathus amygdalus, Raphignathus gracilis, Raphignathus kuznetzovi and Ledermuelleriopsis aminiae are negatively related to elevation.
