Due to its location, the mandibular marginal nerve can be traumatized during various surgeries in the OMF sphere. Its damage rate varies from 1.7% to 50%, depending on several factors. We studied 25 patients with submandibular and subangulomandibular wounds undergoing inpatient treatment in the department of Oro–maxillo–facial Surgery, Institute of Emergency Medicine. The length of the incision and its positioning in relation to the anatomical bone landmarks such as the angle of the mandible and the lower margin of the mandible were examined. The integrity of the mandibular marginal nerve was assessed by checking the functions of the lower lip muscles. Of the 25 patients analyzed in the study, 13 were diagnosed with mandibular marginal nerve damage. The failure rate obtained when demarcating the incision line 2 cm inferior to the lower margin of the mandible is 72% at the mandibular angle and 44% at the anterior margin of the masseter muscle. In conclusion, marking of the submandibular or subangulomandibular incision line cannot be performed predictably using bone anatomical landmarks.

The purpose of the present investigation was to isolate embelin from the fruits of Embelia ribes Burm.f. Embelin was isolated from E. ribes fruit powder by cold and hot extraction with polar and non-polar solvents. The concentrated and dried extracts were washed with petroleum ether (60-80°C) to get crystalline embelin. The isolated embelin molecules were characterized by melting points, TLC, various spectral techniques such as Ultraviolet (UV), Infrared (IR), Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1HNMR), and Mass spectrometry (MS). Extraction with either chloroform or diethyl ether yielded bright orange coloured crystals in good yields. Spectral and chromatographic studies confirmed the isolated embelin to be pure. A simple maceration with chloroform was found to be most ideal for isolation of embelin. Our method completely eliminates the need for any column chromatography, as reported in literature. Hence, it is economical and has the potential for scale up.

ICH Q8(R2) guidelines concerning the development of pharmaceutical process following a Quality by Design (QbD) approach can be implemented for analytical method developments. Nimorazole is a hypoxic radiosensitizer used in radiotherapy treatment for squamous cell cancer of the head and neck. The aim of the present work was to develop a simple, robust, optimized and stability indicating reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method underlying QbD principles for the estimation of nimorazole in pharmaceutical samples. The objectives were achieved at optimized chromatographic conditions using a column of dimensions, 250 x 4.6 mm, C18 (5 μm) (such as Sunfire C18), using mobile phase comprising a mixture of 51 volumes of 0.01 M KH2PO4 solution and 49 volumes of methanol using flow rate of 1.0 mL per minute, injection volume of 10 μl, column oven temperature at 27°C and 302 nm as detection wavelength. The developed method was found linear over the concentration range of 10-150 ppm with detection and quantitation limit of 2.73 ppm and 8.28 ppm respectively. The retention time of nimorazole is found about 4.9 minutes and the assay observed were 101.60 % and 99.52 % in bulk drug and tablet dosage form respectively. Whilst performing the forced degradation studies to demonstrate the specificity of analytical method, nimorazole suffers much degradation in oxidative, less in basic and least in acidic conditions, while no degradation was observed in thermal and photolytic conditions. The respective degradation products were well resolved from the pure drug. Hence, the method can be successfully employed for quantitative analysis of nimorazole in pharmaceutical samples.

Published: October 2021

Historically considered a subspecialty under radiology, nuclear medicine has grown in stature by leaps and bounds as it has managed to carve out a niche for itself within the realms of medical practice. Treated as an independent specialty in modern medicine, nuclear medicine concerns itself with the application of radioactive substances in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. It is deemed a worthy exercise to take a closer look at this discipline and understand its nuances as the numbers of both diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine procedures performed steadily increase across the globe. This review, by shedding light on the unique field of nuclear medicine, is a concerted attempt to sensitize our pharmaceutical community to the discipline. Apart from opening up the world of radiopharmaceuticals and updating the status of nuclear medicine in developing nations, this piece attempts to trace the evolution of nuclear medicine and represents a tribute to Dr. Henry N. Wagner Jr., the doyen of American nuclear medicine, whom the author was fortunate enough to meet during his stint as a postdoctoral fellow in nuclear medicine at the Department of Radiology, The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

In the recent years the importance of automatic traffic control has increased due to the traffic jams problem especially in big cities for signal control and efficient traffic management. The input video is processed and analyzed to detect an ambulance vehicle. This article introduces a robust approach for ambulance detection and traffic counting approach using novel fuzzy Bat swarm optimization and different image processing techniques. The fuzzy Bat based optimization algorithm is used to generate a template of ambulance from the abstracted frames obtained from predefined ambulance samples. This is done by using a collection of Gabor filters that have been particularly customized for the ambulance detection problem in which filter selection is achieved to group filters that have similar characteristics. The fitness criterion based on Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used to evaluate the output filters. The proposed approach is composed of the following five fundamental building phases: Fuzzy Bat based optimization, image acquisition, object detection, counting the connected objects, and finally ambulance detection. One of the main advantages of the proposed approach is that key Gabor filters is obtained from the selected features (filters with highest membership values) which have a vital role in the ambulance detection phase. Experimental results show that the overall accuracy confirms that the performance of the proposed approach is high.

The paper aims at creating ERC-20 Token and crowd sale step-by-step with Ethereum smart contracts. In the process, it focuses on testing the smart contracts, deploying the smart contracts to the Ethereum blockchain, and building an ICO website deployed to the web for the buying and selling of the tokens. The Ethereum blockchain provides a platform for creating our cryptocurrency, or tokens that can be purchased via Ether which is the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain. ERC-20 is a standard document that specifies the behavior of the tokens so that they are compatible with other platforms like cryptocurrency exchanges. We used Ethereum which is a blockchain like Bitcoin. We created a token called ;Token ; and there are 100,000,000 such tokens. Firstly, the token smart contract keeps track of some token attributes which are basic. It also keeps track of who owns ;My Token ; and how much. ERC-20 tokens can be used as a payment just, just like any other cryptocurrency, from one account to another. They can also be purchased in a crowd sale, like an ICO.

During the development of the software, Software Requirement Changes (SRC) often occurs. Software estimation helps in maintaining a balance between the increase and decrease of the price, time, etc. Function Point Analysis (FPA) is a software effort estimation technique used for measuring the size and complexity of software by calculating the functionality from a user's point of view. Function count focuses on what functionality is being delivered. It enables programmers to perform function point counting themselves instead of contacting an expert. An empirical study has been conducted to analyze the capability of the FPA technique. The results of the FPA-SDP (Function Point Analysis for Software Development Phase) model can help software project managers in (i) knowing the inconsistent states of software artifacts (ii) estimating the actual size of a change request with its complexity level for the software development phase.

Cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth commonly occurring cancer among females over the globe. It accounts for 7.9% of woman cancer as identified by world health organization (WHO). The most important reason for increased mortality due to cervical cancer is the deficiency of effective initial treatment. The asymptomatic nature is a main problem faced in the analysis of CC from initial stage. Recently, computer aided diagnosis (CAD) model has gained significant attention in the disease diagnostic process. At the same time, machine learning (ML) finds its use in several medical applications and is utilized as classifier for the initial detection of cancerous cells occurs from cervix area of uterus. With this motivation, this study introduces an intelligent ML based CAD (IML-CAD) technique to classify cervix cancer. The IML-CAD technique involves different stages of operations to detect and classify the cancerous cervix cells. In addition, the IML-CAD technique involves histogram based segmentation to determine the affected regions. Moreover, local binary patterns (LBP) based feature extractor and least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) based classifier is designed for CC classification. To showcase the better performance of the IML-CAD technique, a series of simulations is performed and the experimental results highlighted the superior performance of the IML-CAD technique over the other techniques.

Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a mobile adhoc network widely used in intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Owing to the unique features of VANET like self-organized, recurrent link interruptions, and quick topology modifications, the design of an effective clustering protocol is a challenging problem. The clustering process is considered an optimization problem and can be solved using metaheuristic algorithms. Therefore, this paper presents an adaptive weighted clustering protocol with artificial fish swarm optimization (AWCP-AFSO) algorithm for VANET. The proposed AWCP-AFSO technique aims to select the CHs effectively and thereby accomplishes energy efficiency. To construct clusters, the AWCP-AFSO algorithm derives an objective function from electing an optimal set of CHs. A wide range of simulations are performed, and the results are investigated in terms of several performance measures. The experimental values showcased the betterment of the AWCP-AFSO technique over the recent techniques.

With the emerging development of cloud computing services, data owners outsource their documents to Cloud Service Providers (CSP) which could lead to threats related to security and privacy. Hence, protecting the privacy of user data and providing queries privacy becomes one of the main concerns of the data owner. One of the solutions for providing privacy and confidentiality of the outsourced data is encrypting it before sending it to the cloud. Although this solution satisfies data confidentiality and prevents the CSP from reading or modifying the data without the data owner's permission, it prevents the data owner to search the outsourced documents directly. Symmetric encryption algorithms e.g. AES have a searching limitation, in which the whole encrypted document needs to be retrieved from the CSP and then decrypt before performing the search procedure. To overcome this limitation, a lot of keyword-based search approaches have been done. These approaches allow users to retrieve just those documents contain special keywords. However, most of these approaches suffer from privacy and security problems and are based on high overhead asymmetric encryption algorithms. This paper proposes a privacy-preserving keyword search scheme for searching over encrypted data. To avoids the high computational cost of asymmetric encryption, the proposed scheme employs symmetric encryption and Bloom filter. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed searchable encryption algorithm is secure and lightweight, and it has the ability to perform a keyword search over encrypted data without decrypting them.

Violence against women is seen as sexual or physical activity committed against women. In India, general forms of violence against women in India includes cruelty by relatives, dowry, rape, sexual assault, kidnapping, immoral trafficking, molestation etc. The security of the women is the utmost priority of any government in this world. In India, many policies and laws have been enforced to ensure the safety against women. Technology is being the biggest supporter to the government in this context. Data mining allows various techniques such as clustering classification, regression provides analysis in any form of data and helps intelligent predictions on the given dataset. In this paper, we use k-means clustering analysis on women crime dataset. As a part of pre-processing, we collated the data entries which had crime cases against women and made women crime sub-dataset from the real dataset. We then applied K means clustering for further analysis. We used a rapid miner tool for clustering analysis as it is widely used for clustering purposes. After completion of clustering analysis, we proposed our views and discussions on the clustering results. At the end, we ended up giving the futuristic work to be further done on the derived dataset we made and made available on public repositories.
