Published: March 2024

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) has indeed revolutionized the field of infertility treatment and has significantly improved the chances of a successful pregnancy for many couples. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the most well-known and widely used ART methods. This research highlights the importance of embryological analysis in the IVF process and the potential role of artificial intelligence, specifically deep learning algorithms, in improving this aspect of the procedure. ART methods help address infertility issues in couples through various medical procedures. IVF is one such technique where eggs and sperm are combined outside the body, allowing for fertilization and early embryo development in a controlled environment. The success of ART procedures, especially IVF, depends on the quality and morphology of the embryos. Embryos typically develop into blastocysts within 3-5 days. These blastocysts consist of several critical components, including trophectoderm, zona pellucida, blastocoel, and inner cell mass.

Authors: García Conesa Isabel María
Published: March 2024

In recent years, the use of ICTs has increased in the education field and many different types of contents have been created. One of them are educational games. However, very little research has been done to date if games are as effective as they try to be. The aim of this study was to collect information related to ICTs and games in relation to L2 learning in a technical engineering degree and create some questionnaires which would be analysed and compared with the data previously mentioned. Results show how little teachers know of the methodological applications of ICTs and videogames, the benefits that they can provide to the bilingual classroom, such as how students who use games usually have a generally positive view of English learning. These results suggest that information and professional preparation regarding ICTs and games have not been shared and are not mandatory, which leads to the incorrect and insufficient use of the resources. What we are using currently it will become obsolete and new methodologies will have to be created in consequence

Data Privacy and E-Consent in the Public Sector
Authors: Bhatia Abhay , Kumar Anil , Bhatia Pankhuri
Published: March 2024

In the era of the internet, all face administrative and legal responsibilities obtaining informed consent and safeguarding personal information, with the public growing mistrust to data collection. Moral consent management takes place in account of person's views, subjective norms, and sense of control. When obtaining consent, this chapter aims to combat this cynicism. It accomplishes this by creating a novel conceptual model of online informed consent that combines the TPB with the autonomous authorisation model of informed consent. It is argued logically and is bolstered. As a result, it develops a model for online informed consent that is based on the ethic of autonomy and makes use of theory based on behaviour to enable a method of eliciting agreement that can put interest of users first and then promotes moral the information management and the marketing techniques. This approach also presents an innovative idea, the informed attitude for the validity of informed consent. It also indicates that informed permission may be given against.

Authors: Meher Anil
Published: March 2024

Artificial intelligence is becoming more and more widespread in our increasingly connected world. Artificial intelligence is slowly but surely modifying the way we live and work, from self-driving cars to automated customer service agents. As artificial intelligence becomes more sophisticated, the ethical implications of its use become more complex. There are several key issues to consider regarding the ethics of artificial intelligence, such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and socioeconomic inequality. The rapid development of AI brings with it several ethical issues. However, we must remain vigilant in protecting our fundamental rights and freedoms. We must ensure that artificial intelligence is not used to discriminate against vulnerable groups or invade our privacy. We must also be careful that AI does not become a tool for the powerful to control and manipulate the masses. But while there are risks, the author believes the potential benefits of AI are too great to ignore.

Robust and Real-Time Detection of Underwater Sonar Image Representations by Using Fast Transferred Design Learning Method
Authors: Nagarajan Nagarani , Nivetha G. , Jothiraj Sivasankari
Published: March 2024

A method known as SONAR is employed to travel through, interact with, or locate objects that are submerged beneath the surface of ocean water. The identification and translation of objects is a crucial step in the analysis of sonar representations. First, a target's sonar image closely matches its optical depiction. Second, compared to the visual depiction. The sonar depiction may also be affected by other disturbances. Here, the authors use visual representations for quick-transfer design and quasi-specimen analysis. They can add various types of disturbance to the sonar representations through visual representations. Then, the visual representation of the same object should be contrasted with the sonar representation. The sonar representation's exact location is then exposed. Fast-transfer design uses a visual representation, and quasi-specimen synthesis creates unusual information through the same contents as visual information. The findings demonstrate that the suggested fast transferred design learning technique is more successful while still producing high-quality results.

Published: March 2024

Background

Road traffic accidents are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Sri Lanka. Although it is a statutory requirement to declare epilepsy before applying for a driving license, the regulations are not well defined.

Parallel to the developing transportation infrastructure and the increasing need of driving skills for independence, the impact of epilepsy on driving has become a topic of utmost importance.

Methods

This is a descriptive observational study. All patients followed up at the National epilepsy center at National hospital of Sri Lanka, who fulfill the international league against epilepsy (ILAE) operational definition of epilepsy were recruited for the study for a period of three months starting from November 2022 to March 2023.

Results

The study evaluated 142 participants, the majority of whom were males (98%). Only 68 (47.9%) of them were seizure free for more than 2 years. Most of them were on at least two anti-seizure medications. MRI evidence of a lesion was present on 36 (25.4%) participants. 41 (28.9%) of them have faced road traffic accidents as the driver of the vehicle and some have experienced up to 4 road traffic accidents.  Out of the 55 road traffic accidents reported by the participants, 13 were due to either development of seizure or aura.

Conclusion

The advances in transport medicine in many countries have enabled the medically disabled to drive with less restrictive solutions while ensuring road safety. This study highlights the need for formal guidelines on driving with epilepsy, considering the individual medical, financial, and social requirements.

Published: March 2024

Lung ultrasound (LUS) is an essential tool for respiratory disease differential diagnosis at Emergency Department (ED), due to easy applicability and safety. During Sars-Cov 2 pandemic, LUS was widely used in every setting. This study aims to demonstrate the prognostic role of LUS independently of other factors and the identification of an LUS score cut-off to be applied in the ED. A multi-center prospective study was conducted on 285 patients, 123 from Pisa University Hospital, 162 from S. Maria Misericordia Hospital of Perugia. All patients received LUS examination by expert sonographers within 48 hours of admission with the same methodology. Univariate logistic analysis demonstrated that LUS is a mortality predictor, OR 2.8 (CL1.5-5.1). Using LUS score cut-off 1.3, the OR was 6.7 (CL2.7-1.6). In multivariate logistic analysis, LUS score significantly predicted death, independently of other factors. ROC curves comparison demonstrated that the introduction of LUS score <1.3 to a multifactorial model improved the association with mortality (AUC 0.76vs0.84, p=0.04). LUS combined with clinical, anamnestic, laboratory, and blood gas parameters, would allow an effective prognostic stratification in Sars-Cov2 patients at ED.
A Study on Correlation between Method of Preparation, Surface Properties, and Medicinal Properties of Traditional Drug: Praval Bhasma
Authors: Menon Jyothi S. , Vijayasankar A. V. , Karalam B. Sheela , Balasubramani S. P.
Published: March 2024

Background:

The development of standard protocol to improve the efficiency of a metal-based ayurvedic drug (Bhasma) requires understanding on the scientific basis and correlation between the preparation method and surface properties of the drug.

Objective:

With an objective to investigate the change in physico-chemical properties of a bhasma associated with preparation method, an extensive study was conducted on the synthesis and material characterization of ayurvedic drug Praval bhasma.

Materials and Methods:

Calcium-based ayurvedic traditional drug Praval bhasma was synthesized using red coral calyx which is a natural rich source of calcium. The surface properties and chemical aspects of the synthesised drug were studied using different characterization techniques.

Results:

The change in chemical composition due to the presence of phytoconstituents was evident from Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy analysis. The addition of Calotropis gigantea latex plays a major role in maintaining pH which further reduces the toxicity of metals. The addition of lime juice converts insoluble calcium salt to soluble salt. The results of characterization studies confirmed the reduction in particle size and increase in surface area of the drug which enhances the rate of absorption of calcium. The current study will provide useful insights to tune the physicochemical properties of drugs that are capable to develop a standard protocol which further helps to enhance the efficiency of the drug.

Authors: Thomas Asha Byju , Dapkekar Madhura , Nagore Dheeraj , Doke Rohit , Bankar Nilam , Surve Namita
Published: March 2024

Context:

In wound management, traditional use of plants has received attention by the scientific community, as traditional medicines are a valuable source of affordable, comprehensive medical care. Azadirachta indica A. Juss (Neem) and Nigella sativa Linn (Black cumin) are well known versatile medicinal plants with wide spectrum of biological activity.

Methods:

This study was undertaken to evaluate the wound healing activity of neem oil (NO) and black cumin oil (BCO) in rats. The oils were standardized using standard procedures. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry analysis and high performance thin layer chromatography fingerprinting of oils were carried out to identify major phytoconstituents present in the oils. The oils were suitably incorporated in carbopol based emulgel formulation, evaluated for physicochemical parameters and stability.

Results:

The wound healing potential assessed by the measurement of wound contraction and histopathology studies in excision and burn wound models, demonstrated comparable efficacy with standard nano crystalline silver gel (0.002% w/w). This may be attributed to the presence of phytoconstituents such as nimbidin and thymoquinone present in selected oils. Polyunsaturated fatty acid profile of BCO may be responsible for stimulating the release of vascular endothelial growth factor, which plays a significant role in accelerating wound healing process.

Conclusion:

Topical carbopol 934 base emulgel containing natural oils such as BCO and NO have been successfully prepared for wound management. However, further studies to establish the mechanistic aspects of wound healing needs to be undertaken.

Levantamento de seio maxilar ou All on Four. Qual a melhor escolha para maxilas atróficas?
Authors: Jeziorski Sara Alice Zago
Published: March 2024

Reabilitar maxilas severamente atrofiadas através da instalação de implantes é um desafio ao cirurgião-dentista, uma vez que os mesmos devem ficar posicionados em harmonia com a prótese que será instalada sobre eles. Para isso, pode-se lançar mão de algumas técnicas para ganho de osso ou podem-se posicionar os implantes de acordo com a disponibilidade óssea do paciente. Dentre as técnicas, as mais usadas são o levantamento de seio maxilar e a técnica All on Four. Dessa forma, esse trabalho tem como objetivo comparar a taxa de sucesso, em longo prazo, da técnica All on Four e técnica de levantamento de seio em reabilitações de maxilas atróficas. Foram encontradas altas taxas de sucesso e sobrevivência em ambas as técnicas. Em relação ao levantamento de seio, observou-se maior sucesso quando utilizado enxertia com material xenógeno e a técnica sem enxertos mostrou resultados satisfatórios, porém não há controvérsias de seu uso. Na técnica All on a falha de próteses ao longo do tempo de acompanhamento foi baixíssima. Ambas as técnicas estão consolidadas na literatura e apresentam ótimos resultados a longo prazo, cabe ao cirurgião-dentista seguir as indicações e a técnica de cada uma.
