Plasmoid Instability in the Multiphase Interstellar Medium
Authors: Fielding Drummond B. , Ripperda Bart , Philippov Alexander A.
Published: May 2023

The processes controlling the complex clump structure, phase distribution, and magnetic field geometry that develop across a broad range of scales in the turbulent interstellar medium (ISM) remain unclear. Using unprecedentedly high-resolution 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulations of thermally unstable turbulent systems, we show that large current sheets unstable to plasmoid-mediated reconnection form regularly throughout the volume. The plasmoids form in three distinct environments: (i) within cold clumps, (ii) at the asymmetric interface of the cold and warm phases, and (iii) within the warm, volume-filling phase. We then show that the complex magnetothermal phase structure is characterized by a predominantly highly magnetized cold phase, but that regions of high magnetic curvature, which are the sites of reconnection, span a broad range in temperature. Furthermore, we show that thermal instabilities change the scale-dependent anisotropy of the turbulent magnetic field, reducing the increase in eddy elongation at smaller scales. Finally, we show that most of the mass is contained in one contiguous cold structure surrounded by smaller clumps that follow a scale-free mass distribution. These clumps tend to be highly elongated and exhibit a size versus internal velocity relation consistent with supersonic turbulence and a relative clump distance–velocity scaling consistent with subsonic motion. We discuss the striking similarity of cold plasmoids to observed tiny-scale atomic and ionized structures and H i fibers and consider how the presence of plasmoids will modify the motion of charged particles, thereby impacting cosmic-ray transport and thermal conduction in the ISM and other similar systems.

Published: May 2023

In the deep ocean, whale falls (deceased whales that sink to the seafloor) act as a boost of productivity in this otherwise generally food-limited setting, nourishing organisms from sharks to microbes during the various stages of their decomposition. Annelid worms are habitual colonizers of whale falls, with new species regularly reported from these settings and their systematics helping to resolve biogeographic patterns among deep-sea organic fall environments. During a 2017 expedition of the Australian research vessel RV Investigator to sample bathyal to abyssal communities off Australia’s east coast, a natural whale fall was opportunistically trawled at ~1000 m depth. In this study, we provide detailed taxonomic descriptions of the annelids associated with this whale-fall community, using both morphological and molecular techniques. From this material we describe nine new species from five families (Dorvilleidae: Ophryotrocha dahlgreni sp. nov. Ophryotrocha hanneloreae sp. nov., Ophryotrocha ravarae sp. nov.; Hesionidae: Vrijenhoekia timoharai sp. nov.; Nereididae: Neanthes adriangloveri sp. nov., Neanthes visicete sp. nov.; Orbiniidae: Orbiniella jamesi sp. nov.), including two belonging to the bone-eating genus Osedax (Siboglinidae: Osedax waadjum sp. nov., Osedax byronbayensis sp. nov.) that are the first to be described from Australian waters. We further provide systematic accounts for 10 taxa within the Ampharetidae, Amphinomidae, Microphthalmidae, Nereididae, Orbiniidae, Phyllodocidae, Protodrilidae, Sphaerodoridae and Phascolosomatidae. Our investigations uncover unique occurrences and for the first time enable the evaluation of biogeographic links between Australian whale falls and others in the western Pacific as well as worldwide.
New species of Scalibregmatidae (Annelida) from slope and abyssal depths off eastern Australia
Authors: Blake James A.
Published: May 2023

Seven new species of Scalibregmatidae are described from deep waters off the east coast of Australia. Samples were collected as part of the RV Investigator voyage IN2017_V03 in May/June 2017 using a Brenke sledge and 0.25 m2 box core. Sample depths reported in the present study were from the lower continental slope of about 2450 m to abyssal depths up to 4280 m. These collections provide the first scalibregmatid polychaetes to be described from deep water off Australia. The new species of Scalibregmatidae are in the genera Asclerocheilus (1), Axiokebuita (1), Oligobregma (4), and Pseudoscalibregma (1). Each of the new species is compared and contrasted with their known congeners. Asclerocheilus and Oligobregma are the largest genera of the family in terms of numbers of species; the known species of each of these genera are tabulated and compared. The Scalibregmatidae known from abyssal depths of about 3000 m and greater are reviewed and discussed.
A point-feature label placement algorithm based on spatial data mining
Authors: Cao Wen , Xu Jiaqi , Peng Feilin , Tong Xiaochong , Wang Xinyi , Zhao Siqi , Liu Wenhao
Published: May 2023

The point-feature label placement (PFLP) refers to the process of positioning labels near point features on a map while adhering to specific rules and guidelines, finally obtaining clear, aesthetically pleasing, and conflict-free maps. While various approaches have been suggested for automated point feature placement on maps, few studies have fully considered the spatial distribution characteristics and label correlations of point datasets, resulting in poor label quality in the process of solving the label placement of dense and complex point datasets. In this paper, we propose a point-feature label placement algorithm based on spatial data mining that analyzes the local spatial distribution characteristics and label correlations of point features. The algorithm quantifies the interference among point features by designing a label frequent pattern framework (LFPF) and constructs an ascending label ordering method based on the pattern to reduce interference. Besides, three classical metaheuristic algorithms (simulated annealing algorithm, genetic algorithm, and ant colony algorithm) are applied to the PFLP in combination with the framework to verify the validity of this framework. Additionally, a bit-based grid spatial index is proposed to reduce cache memory and consumption time in conflict detection. The performance of the experiments is tested with 4000, 10000, and 20000 points of POI data obtained randomly under various label densities. The results of these experiments showed that: (1) the proposed method outperformed both the original algorithm and recent literature, with label quality improvements ranging from 3 to 6.7 and from 0.1 to 2.6, respectively. (2) The label efficiency was improved by 58.2% compared with the traditional grid index.

Immunological tolerance toward the semiallogeneic fetus is one of many maternal adaptations required for a successful pregnancy. T cells are major players of the adaptive immune system and balance tolerance and protection at the maternal–fetal interface; however, their repertoire and subset programming are still poorly understood. Using emerging single-cell RNA sequencing technologies, we simultaneously obtained transcript, limited protein, and receptor repertoire at the single-cell level, from decidual and matched maternal peripheral human T cells. The decidua maintains a tissue-specific distribution of T cell subsets compared with the periphery. We find that decidual T cells maintain a unique transcriptome programming, characterized by restraint of inflammatory pathways by overexpression of negative regulators (DUSP, TNFAIP3, ZFP36) and expression of PD-1, CTLA-4, TIGIT, and LAG3 in some CD8 clusters. Finally, analyzing TCR clonotypes demonstrated decreased diversity in specific decidual T cell populations. Overall, our data demonstrate the power of multiomics analysis in revealing regulation of fetal–maternal immune coexistence.

Published: May 2023

To improve language-concordant, equitable healthcare for Spanish speakers, many United States medical schools offer medical Spanish education. However, there is no clinically contextualized, standardized approach to medical student language assessment. This article reports on the development and effectiveness of a training curriculum to prepare raters to use a new rubric, the Physician Oral Language Observation Matrix (POLOM), to reliably rate medical student Spanish oral proficiency after observing videorecorded encounters between students and standardized patients. Curriculum effectiveness was primarily evaluated by examining each rater trainee’s level of agreement with expert consensus POLOM ratings (i.e., inter-rater reliability as measured by the generalizability theory dependability coefficient). Out of the study’s nine rater trainees, who were from either medical or linguistic professional backgrounds, five proceeded to the calibration phase, and four attained the reliability threshold required for calibration. The paper concludes that this rater training curriculum can successfully train raters to use the POLOM reliably when evaluating medical student Spanish oral proficiency during videorecorded healthcare encounters. To allow for improved assessment of student language skills prior to use in patient care, future efforts should focus on POLOM validity assessment and larger scale rater recruitment, training, calibration, and maintenance.

Published: May 2023

Every year the auspicious festival of Makar Sankranti is jolted by incidences of cutthroat injuries or deaths because of kite string “Manja.” Bike riders are the majority of victims of such mishaps. In view of sporadic and seasonal reporting, to know the burden of kite string injury and its possible preventive measure, we conducted a literature search using Boolean search strategy with keyword such as “Kite string and injury, manja and injury, bikers and cutthroat injury” on medical databases such as PubMed, Semantic Scholar, and Google Scholar. Search was also made on digital print media with same keywords on Google and subscription free and full-text articles available in PDF format were reviewed. Literature review made us realize that there is wide spectrum of kite string injuries of which most common is a grievous cutthroat injury but preventive and mitigation measure for such injuries were surprisingly missing. Hence, we also discuss a possible protective role of inverted “U” shaped aluminum bar/guard installed on bike by Gujarati community during Uttarayan (Makar Sankranti), adoption of which can act as specific protection against cutthroat kite string injuries and help prevent biker’s deaths.
Antrochoanal Polyp in an 80-Year-Old Man
Authors: Swain Santosh Kumar
Published: May 2023

Antrochoanal polyp (ACP) is a benign polypoidal lesion originating from the maxillary sinus and it extends into the choana. The etiopathogenesis of ACP is not clear. These are found more commonly in children and young adults. ACP is extremely rare in the elderly age. ACP is almost always unilateral and common symptoms include nasal obstruction and nasal discharge. Careful history taking, appropriate clinical examinations, nasal endoscopy, and radiological examinations are helpful for the diagnosis of ACPs. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery and power instrumentation are helpful for the complete removal of ACPs and are considered extremely safe procedures. These lesions are extremely rare in the elderly age group. Clinicians and otolaryngologists are often not aware of the prevalence of ACPs among the elderly age group. Here, we are reporting a case of ACP in an 80-year-old male who presented with right nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea for 3 months.

Authors: Bhagat Nanak , Pappala Sumitra , Chattopadhyay Prasanta , Das Sangeeta
Published: May 2023

Background:

Conventionally, endometrial pathologies of varying complexity have been surgically treated as inpatients under a general or regional anesthetic.

Aim:

In this paper, we evaluate the safety and efficacy of hysteroscopic morcellation of endometrial pathology in the form of endometrial polyps (EPs) and submucosal fibroids in an outpatient setting for both simple and complex lesions using the Myosure™ device.

Methods:

Two hundred and forty-nine hysteroscopic resections were performed in an outpatient setting at the < BLINDED FOR REVIEW > from May 2014 to March 2021. The median age of the patients was 54 years. More than half of the patients presented with postmenopausal bleeding; 64% were diagnosed with EPs and 24% with submucous fibroids (SMFs). The size, topography, extension, penetration, and wall classification system scoring system were used to grade them as simple (≤4) or complex (≥5) pathologies.

Results:

90% of pathologies were simple (≤4), of which complete resection was carried out in 95% of patients; 10% of the pathologies were complex (≥5), of which 63% had complete resection. Two patients with complex pathologies returned for completion surgery as a two-step procedure. No procedure was abandoned due to the patient intolerance. The median intraprocedure pain score visual analog scale was 5/10 and immediate postprocedure pain score was 1/10. Notably, there was no intra- or post-procedure complications.

Conclusion:

Outpatient resection of endometrial pathology, both simple and complex, can be safely and effectively performed using hysteroscopic morcellator (Myosure™) and is accepted and well tolerated by patients.

Aims:

The present study was done to find effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive behavioural therapy (MBCT) on quality of life among menopausal women.

Methods and Material:

The present study was double-blind randomized trial conducted among menopausal women at tertiary care hospital, Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The study was conducted among 50 women who had attained menopause. They were randomly divided into intervention (n = 25) and control (n = 25) groups. The MBCT was given once a week to intervention group over eight one-hour sessions and control group received no intervention. The data collection instruments included a demographic questionnaire, Kupperman's index, and menopause-related quality of life questionnaire, which were fulfilled by both groups before, immediately after, and 2 weeks after completion of intervention. Paired t-test was applied before intervention and at 10 weeks for both the groups.

Results:

The difference between the scores before and after intervention i.e after 10 weeks in all the domains and total domain was significant in intervention group compared to control group.

Conclusions:

Mindfulness based approaches may improve severity of vasomotor and psychological symptoms of menopause, thus enhancing quality of life.

Higher Airy structures and topological recursion for singular spectral curves

We give elements towards the classification of quantum Airy structures based on the

-algebras at self-dual level based on twisted modules of the Heisenberg VOA of

\mathfrak{gl}_r

for twists by arbitrary elements of the Weyl group

\mathfrak{S}_{r}

. In particular, we construct a large class of such quantum Airy structures. We show that the system of linear ODEs forming the quantum Airy structure and determining uniquely its partition function is equivalent to a topological recursion à la Chekhov–Eynard–Orantin on singular spectral curves. In particular, our work extends the definition of the Bouchard–Eynard topological recursion (valid for smooth curves) to a large class of singular curves and indicates impossibilities to extend naively the definition to other types of singularities. We also discuss relations to intersection theory on moduli spaces of curves, giving a general ELSV-type representation for the topological recursion amplitudes on smooth curves, and formulate precise conjectures for application in open

quasi post-critically finite
degenerations of Blaschke products. This gives us tools to study the boundaries of hyperbolic components of rational maps in higher-dimensional moduli spaces. We use it to obtain a combinatorial classification of geometrically finite polynomials on the boundary of the
main hyperbolic component

\mathcal{H}_d

, i.e., the hyperbolic component in the space of monic and centered polynomials that contains

z^d

. We also show that the closure

\overline{\mathcal{H}_d}

is not a topological manifold with boundary for

d\geq 4

self-bumps
on its boundary.

Boundary superconductivity in the BCS Model
Authors: Hainzl Christian , Roos Barbara , Seiringer Robert
Published: May 2023

We consider the linear BCS equation, determining the BCS critical temperature, in the presence of a boundary, where Dirichlet boundary conditions are imposed. In the one-dimensional case with point interactions, we prove that the critical temperature is strictly larger than the bulk value, at least at weak coupling. In particular, the Cooper-pair wave function localizes near the boundary, an effect that cannot be modeled by effective Neumann boundary conditions on the order parameter as often imposed in Ginzburg–Landau theory. We also show that the relative shift in critical temperature vanishes if the coupling constant either goes to zero or to infinity.

Dilemmas and Strategies of Digital Servitization: A Multiple Case Comparative Study
Authors: Chuang Li-Min , Lee Yu-Po
Published: May 2023

Abstract

Both servitization and digitization are mainstream types of business model innovation. In recent years, there have been an increasing number of studies integrating these two research topics to develop a series of research on digital servitization. Facing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the development of digital servitization capabilities in the manufacturing industry can help companies provide smart product-service systems (PSSs) to address uncertainties and shocks in the external environment. This study aims to explore "the dilemmas and response strategies of digital servitization” using a qualitative multiple case study comparative analysis. Through in-depth interviews, we identified the difficulties and bottlenecks that small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) may encounter in the process of digital servitization and proposed corresponding response strategies. The results of this study contribute to the literature on digital servitization by accumulating and extending upon existing research.

ETNOCENTRIKUS MAGATARTÁS VIZSGÁLATA A CETSCALE MODELL ALKALMAZÁSÁVAL
Authors: T. Nagy-Pető Dorka , Szakály Zoltán , Kiss Virág Ágnes
Published: May 2023

Napjainkban a helyi gazdaság és társadalom védelme már nem csak nemzetek szintjén, de globális szinten is erősen támogatott. Vizsgálatunk Sumner (1906) etnocentrizmus fogalmára épített Shimp és Sharma (1987) féle CETSCALE modellre épült. A fogyasztói kérdőíves felmérést 2021 őszén egy omnibusz kutatás keretében bonyolítottuk le egy reprezentatív mintán (N=1000). A minta nemre, korra, településtípusra és régiókra nézve tükrözi az alapsokaság összetételét. A kutatás során a leíró statisztikai módszerek mellett faktor- és klaszteranalízist végeztünk annak érdekében, hogy feltárjuk a hazai etnocentrikus értékek mentén kialakuló fogyasztói szegmenseket. Mivel 2014-ben ezt az állítássort már elemeztük egy szintén reprezentatív nagymintás vizsgálat keretében, így a hét évvel korábbi eredményekkel való összehasonlításra is lehetőségünk volt. Várakozásaink szerint a 2020. évi járvány fokozta az elköteleződést a magyar termékek iránt. Előzetes feltevésünk ugyanakkor nem igazolódott be, az elemzések során kiderült, hogy számottevő változás nem történt a korábbi állapothoz képest. A CETSCALE állítások mentén két faktort sikerült azonosítani, és azok segítségével három szegmenst elkülöníteni, melyek a Nacionalista, a Patrióta és a Kozmopolita elnevezéseket kapták az értékcsoportokhoz való igazodásuk alapján. A hazai gazdaság szereplőinek alapvető érdeke, hogy a jövőben erősödjön a patrióta magatartás, aminek a stratégiáját ki kell dolgozni.

This study aims to test whether the variables Liquidity (CR), Solvency (DAR), and Profitability (ROA) have an influence on Profit Changes at PT. Indofood Sukses Makmur Tbk. The population in this study is all financial report data of PT. Indofood Sukses Makmur Tbk for the 2014-2021 period in each quarter, while the samples in this study are statements of financial position and profit/loss reports. The documentation technique is the data collection technique used. The collected data were analyzed using financial ratios which were then entered into the multiple linear regression equation. Based on the results of this analysis, it can be seen that partially the current ratio and debt to assets ratio do not have a significant effect on changes in earnings. These results are inconsistent with (H1) and (H2) which say the current ratio and debt to asset ratio partially have an influence on changes in earnings. It is also known that partially the return on assets has a significant effect on changes in earnings. These results are in accordance with (H3) which says return on assets has an influence on changes in earnings. From the results of this analysis it can also be seen that simultaneously the current ratio, debt to assets ratio, and return on assets do not have a significant effect on changes in earnings. This result is inconsistent with (H4) which states that the current ratio, debt to asset ratio, and return on assets simultaneously have an influence on changes in earnings.

Objective: The objectives of this study were to assess the outcome of close distal tibial fractures fixed with pre-contoured locking plate using MIPPO technique in terms of union and infection.
Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology from Sep 2013 to May 2017.  We enrolled 40 cases with close distal tibial fractures. Fractures were managed with locking compression plate using MIPPO technique. Patients were followed for 12 months post-fracture stabilization.
Results: In this study total 40 patients (24 males and 16 females) were included. Male to female ratio of the patients was 1.5:1. The mean age of the patients was 44.70±13.67 years with minimum and maximum ages of 18 & 60 years respectively. All fractures united with the mean union time of 16±4 weeks.  The infection rate was 5%.
Outcome of management of tibial plateau fracture by posterior Lobenhoffer approach: case series
Authors: Jamil Khattak Mujahid , Rufina Ali  , Yasir Mohib
Published: May 2023

Displaced Tibiai plateau fractures are complex periarticular injuries. Restoration of the anatomy and internal fixation are key elements for early return to function and better functional outcome. Newer modalities like CT scans has enabled better understanding of these fractures. Posterior approaches were not very common as compared to anteromedial and anterolateral surgical approach. Posterior approach has the advantage of avoiding anterior skin and soft tissues that has been compromised as a result of the fracture; it is also particularly helpful in direct and accurate reduction in certain fracture patterns. This case series highlights the importance of posterior approach to restore the articular surface of complex periarticular proximal Tibial fractures. All displaced tibial plateau fractures with posteromedial fragment were included in the study. Pathological fractures and all open fractures were excluded from this study.

Is there an ideal method of reconstruction for proximal humerus osteosarcoma? A review of different reconstruction techniques
Authors: Ibrahim Muhammad , Syed Asif Shah  , Ahmed Israr , Khan Muhammad Arif , Khan Zeeshan
Published: May 2023

Osteosarcoma is the commonest primary bone malignancy occurring in patients aged <20, and humerus is the third most common site affected by it. In the past, ablative surgery with poor functional outcomes was the only option, but due to advances in chemotherapy, medical imaging and surgical techniques, patient survivorship and the rate of limb salvage surgery has increased significantly. Over the decades many treatment options have been proposed for the reconstruction of the defect following extirpation of the tumour in the proximal humerus, with every procedure having its merits and demerits. However, there is no agreement on the preferred treatment even in similar age groups, and the best way to reconstruct the proximal humerus remains debatable because the restoration of the function of the shoulder girdle remains primarily dependant on the extent of muscle-loss during tumour resection, available surgical expertise and financial constraints in different health systems.

Authors: Sarfraz Ur Rahman  , Aqib Saeed  , Sakandar Khan  , Zia Ul Rehman  , Muhammad Imran Rashid  , Akbar Haroon
Published: May 2023

Objective: To review the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in Pakistan.
Method: The systematic review comprised search on Science Direct, Google Scholar, PubMed and Scopus databases for studies related to the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in Pakistan published between 2006 and 2020 which used serological diagnostic tests to detect Toxoplasma gondii. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were used throughout the review and statistical analysis was done using forest plot and random effect model.
Results: Of the 7093 human studies initially found, 20(0.28%) were reviewed. Of the 16,432 animal studies, 16(0.09%) were selected for detailed review. The pooled seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in humans, calculated in this review was found as 76 (%) (95% confidence interval: 69-83%). Seroprevalence of human toxoplasmosis was higher in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (31.7 (%)) than Punjab (20.4 (%)). Pooled seroprevalence in animals calculated in this review was found as 69 (%) (95% confidence interval: 64-74%). Seroprevalence in animals was higher in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (44.7 (%)) than Punjab (29.4%).
Conclusion: The seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in both humans and animals should be studied it other parts of Pakistan as well.

Teaching attentive listening to medical students: need and strategies
Authors: Nawaz Zerlis , Mahboob Usman
Published: May 2023

Listening is a primary skill essential for learning and is positively correlated with academic achievement. It also enables a healthcare professional to fully explore patients' concerns in healthcare settings. There has been much discussion on how effective listening practices can facilitate students’ learning. A clear understanding of listening as a ‘process’ and planned listening activities can help exploit listening skills in formal and informal learning contexts. This paper explores strategies through which listening can be taught to undergraduate medical students in a small group setting. A planned tutorial is discussed, including methods that can be used to teach listening skills. The simple guidelines provided here can be used in most small group teaching methods. These teaching strategies are likely to allow undergraduate students to evolve into better listeners and, therefore, better lifelong learners and future physicians.

Inter observer reliability for peritoneal carcinomatosis at computed tomography
Authors: Mahnoor Hafeez  , Amjad Sattar  , Waqas Ahmed Farooqui
Published: May 2023

Objective: To determine whether there is inter-observer reliability between radiologists for reporting peritoneal carcinomatosis and computed tomography peritoneal carcinomatosis index estimation.
Method: The retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted at Dow Institute of Radiology, Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS), Ojha campus and comprised computed tomography scans done between December 1, 2019, to May 31, 2020, that were extracted from the institutional database searched using key words ‘peritoneal carcinomatosis’ and/or ‘serosal deposits’. The first readers had 1-4 years of post-fellowship experience, while the 2nd readers were senior radiologist. Inter-observer reliability was assessed quantitatively and qualitatively for 15 peritoneal sites using, among other tolls, the Sugarbaker computed tomography peritoneal carcinomatosis index. Data was analysed using SPSS 21.
Results: Out of 236 subjects with mean age 53.6±13.6 years, there were 173(73.3%) females and 63(26.7%) males. The most common primary cancer was ovarian 145(61.4%), followed by colon 26(11%). The size of peritoneal deposit was not reported in 75(31.8%) cases. Of the 15 sites analysed, good agreement was not found in 7(46.7%). There was an excellent intra-class correlation for measuring computed tomography peritoneal carcinomatosis index scores among the radiologists irrespective of the grade of the faculty (>0.90).
Conclusion: The inter-observer reliability was low, but good agreement for computed tomography peritoneal carcinomatosis index would encourage radiologists to use it in peritoneal cancer reporting.

Individual-and community-level determinants of neonatal mortality in Pakistan: indication from PDHS (2017-18)
Authors: Maryam Siddiqa  , Sana Kanwal  , Yusra Liaqat
Published: May 2023

Objective: To evaluate individual and community-level factors influencing neonatal mortality in Pakistan.
Method: The retrospective, secondary-data, quantitative study was done from July 2021 to January 2022 after approval from the after approval from the ethics review committee of the International Islamic University, Islamabad, Pakistan, and comprised data of live births from November 22, 2017, to April 30, 2018, which was the period covered by the Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey 2017-18. Significant community-level, maternal and proximate determinants of neonatal mortality were identified. Data was analysed using STATA 13.
Results: Among the 12,708 live births covered, the neonatal mortality rate within the first month of birth was 42% (n=5,337), and 31%(n=3,939) neonatal deaths occurred in the first week of life, while 27%(n=3,431) deaths occurred on the first day. Distance to health facility (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.1; 95% confidence interval: 0.8-1.6), unimproved toilet facility (adjusted hazard ratio: 2.0; 95% confidence interval: 0.7-2.1), caesarean section deliveries (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.6; 95% confidence interval: 0.6-1.9) and child’s birth size smaller than average (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.7; 95% confidence interval: 1.1-2.7) carried significantly higher risk of neonatal deaths. Compared to women aged 15-19 years, older women’s child (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.6; 95% confidence interval: 0.2-1.6) and neonates having birth order 3 compared to birth order 1 (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.5; 95% confidence interval: 0.2-0.9) and female gender of child (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.3; 95% confidence interval: 0.2-0.9) were less likely to die.
Conclusions: There was a markedly high prevalence of neonatal mortality rate in Pakistan. Unimproved toilet facility, distance to health facility, caesarean mode of delivery and small size of the child at birth were found linked with increased risk of neonatal mortality.

Placement of permanent pacemaker in a low-birth-weight infant with congenital heart block: a case report
Authors: Naela Ashraf  , Fatima Rabika , Atiq Mehnaz , Amanullah Muneer
Published: May 2023

One of the rare diseases with a high mortality rate in infants is congenital heart block (CHB) with neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) as the most common cause. A permanent pacemaker (PPM) is indicated for symptomatic bradycardia. The choice of PPM in the paediatric population is different from that in the adult population because of several reasons like small size, account of somatic growth, and difference in physiological changes. Here, we present a case in which a 2.6 kg and 45 days old baby with CHB secondary to NLE was successfully treated with a single-chambered adult-sized PPM with epicardial lead. According to our knowledge, this is the smallest baby in Pakistan in which PPM has been implanted.
Keywords: Neonatal lupus erythematous, infant low birth weight, cardiac pacemaker, permanent pacemaker implantation (ppm), congenital complete heart block.
