Management of Compound Tibial Fractures
Authors: Sandhu Dr. Kuldip Singh , Sandhu Dr Kanwarjit Singh
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this book was to guide the budding/fellow orthopaedic surgeons to deal with compound fractures. This book explains the outcome of monorail fixator (Limb Reconstruction System) as primary and definitive mode of fixation of compound fractures of tibia, which have high rates of infection and non-union resulting in poor functional outcome. This provides treatment guidelines for prevention of infection, soft tissue coverage and fracture stabilization with simultaneous mobilization of nearby joints; thereby enabling early return to function. We have conducted a study on patients having compound tibial fractures as classified by GUSTTILO-ANDERSON in type 2 and 3A, 3B, cases. During follow up, patients were assessed for various complications and statistical analysis was performed using software SPSS 25.0. Benefits of monorail fixator (LRS) has been mentioned in this book as excellent to good results in 90 percent of cases with minimum surgery time of 52.17 minutes. Full weight bearing (with fixator) was seen in 5.37 days. Fracture union occurred at 31.8 weeks with minimum complications

Discurso visual posmachista en Twitter: análisis multimodal de la iconicidad de la victimización
Authors: Núñez Puente Sonia , Fernández Romero Diana
Published: July 2024

El trabajo aborda el discurso visual posmachista en Twitter mediante el análisis multimodal siguiendo el modelo de Kress y van Leeuwen. Se pretende indagar en las estrategias de construcción de las imágenes de la feminazi y cómo estas son iconizadas en el relato de un proceso de victimización reclamado desde el posmachismo. La conformación visual de la feminazi se construye a partir de mecanismos discursivos como la resemiotización, la vinculación del afecto, propia de la comunicación digital, y la espectacularización de las imágenes de modo que estas constituyen un imaginario metonímico del relato posmachista sobre la violencia de género.El análisis de las veinte imágenes seleccionadas muestra cómo se produce una co-optación del espacio de la victimización politizando, a un tiempo, las demandas del posmachismo que encuentra en el discurso visual un modo de subvertir los avances discursivos en la lucha contra la violencia hacia las mujeres.
Navigating Postcaesarean Challenges: A Case Report on Bladder Flap Haematoma with Haematuria
Authors: Singh Khushboo , Nayak Vaishali Korde , Kamdar Priyanka Prashant , Barla Jaya
Published: July 2024

A less common puerperal complication following a caesarean section is a bladder flap haematoma, characterised by the accumulation of blood in the vesico-uterine space. A young, unregistered primigravida was referred from a peripheral facility with preeclampsia and obstructed labour. Signs of obstructed labour were observed both before and intraoperatively, like dehydration, foetal distress, a stretched lower uterine segment, and oedematous bladder. The uterus was sutured in two layers to control bleeding, and the patient was closely monitored postoperatively. The diagnosis of haematoma was made by the increasing height of the uterus and a suprapubic bulge anterior to the uterus, along with postoperative haematuria. Imaging with ultrasonography and Computed Tomography (CT) helped to decide the management. The patient improved after exploratory laparotomy with haematoma drainage. No bladder injury was found during the cystoscopy. Early diagnosis and treatment were important in preventing complications such as haemodynamic instability, abscess formation, and sepsis. Authors present their experience in this patient with postcaesarean vesico-uterine haematoma, with frank haematuria, without an obvious bladder injury, who required re-exploration. The clinical presentation, course, and sonographic findings of this patient form the basis of this report.
Ayurveda Principles and Formulations in the Management of Alopecia Areata: A Case Report
Authors: Sawarkar Punam , Sawarkar Gaurav , Boharupi Gauri
Published: July 2024

Alopecia Areata, known as Indralupta in Ayurveda, involves abrupt hair loss from various scalp regions, attributed to an imbalance of Vata, Pitta, Kapha, and Rakta (bio-humours involving blood). This condition is increasingly prevalent due to contemporary lifestyle factors. Conventional medical treatments typically involve steroids and antifungal shampoos, which, despite their efficacy, can lead to undesirable side-effects, prompting the need for alternative treatments in Ayurveda. This case report examines the effectiveness of specific Ayurvedic treatment modalities for a 25-year-old female patient presenting with 2-3 bald spots on her scalp’s parietal and occipital regions, enduring for 6-7 months without associated symptoms of itching or burning. The patient underwent a combination of internal and external Ayurvedic therapies. Internally, she was treated with Panchatikta Ksheer Vasti (a medicated enema prepared with milk and five herbal drugs) and oral medications, including Aampachak Vati, Rasapachak Vati, Panchtikta Ghrita Guggulu, Krumikuthar Rasa, and Panchtikta Ghrita. Externally, herbal head packs were applied, supplemented by dietary and lifestyle modifications recommended by Ayurvedic traditions. After three months of continuous treatment, the patient exhibited significant hair regrowth on the bald patches without any adverse effects or recurrence to date. This case report highlights the potential of both internal and external Ayurvedic treatments to effectively manage Alopecia Areata, offering a viable alternative to conventional therapies with minimal side-effects.

AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT OF ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS: A CASE REPORT
Authors: K Dhanya , M Jithesh
Published: July 2024

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a common inflammatory rheumatic disease affecting the axial skeleton, causing characteristic back pain, leading to structural and functional impairments and decreased Quality of Life. Ankylosing spondylitis is characterised by impaired spinal mobility, postural abnormalities, buttock pain, hip pain, peripheral arthritis, enthesitis, and dactylitis. It typically affects young adults, and male to female ratio is closer to 3:1. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the first-line treatment for Ankylosing spondylitis. Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are ineffective in the typical Ankylosing spondylitis patient with the disease limited to the axial skeleton, including hip and shoulder joints. In Ayurveda, Ankylosing Spondylitis falls under the broad perspective of 'Ama Vata' (Inflammatory or Rheumatic disorders). It primarily occurs because of the imbalance between Vata and Kapha doshas. These changes can be interpreted as vitiated Vata dosha affecting the Asthi and Majja dhathus (bone and the ligaments). Selected panchakarma (five internal bio-cleansing therapies) procedures followed by rasayana (rejuvenating) therapy and internal Ayurvedic medicines have been proven beneficial in managing Ankylosing spondylitis. The article presents the case report of Ankylosing Spondylitis in which there was considerable improvement after the intervention. The outcome of the intervention was assessed based on the scoring of the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI). There was considerable improvement in the symptoms, especially the pain and stiffness, after the intervention and on follow-up. Ayurvedic management seems to be promising in the management of Ankylosing spondylitis without any adverse effects.
CLINICAL ASSESSMENT OF CHANDRASHAKALADI VATI AND ARKA TAILA IN MANAGEMENT OF VICHARCHIKA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO DRY ECZEMA: A CASE REPORT
Authors: Mane Sandhya Suresh , Wagh Suryakiran
Published: July 2024

Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, clinically and histologically very similar to contact dermatitis. Eczema offers a wide clinical spectrum ranging from minor forms presented by a few dry eczematous patches to major forms with an erythematous rash. Vicharchika has been described in Ayurveda texts. It is characterized by symptoms, namely kandu (itching), strava (discharge), pidika (vesicles), rukshata (dryness) and shyava varna (discolouration). This condition has two forms, one of which is ruksha or dry form, and the other is the sravi or the moist form, based on its clinical presentation. The clinical features of ruksha Vicharchika simulate the typical clinical manifestation of dry eczema. In the present case study, a 64-year-old male complained of scaly lesions over both palms, the dorsum of both feet and the anterior aspect of the lower leg associated with severe itching and dryness for eight months. The Ayurvedic diagnosis was made as Vicharchika (dry eczema) based on signs and symptoms. The patient was treated with Ayurvedic formulations, i.e. Chandrashakaladi vati and Arka taila, and the treatment continued for one month. The patient’s condition was assessed for signs and symptoms of dry eczema. During the treatment all the signs and symptoms of Vicharchika reduced to a very high extent. This study shows that cases of eczema can be successfully managed with ayurvedic treatment only without any complications and side effects.
A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY TO UNDERSTAND NIDANAS OF STHOULYA WITH RESPECT TO BODY COMPOSITION ANALYSIS
Authors: CA Jyothsna , SD Shashirekha , Kulkarni Prasanna , BV Priyanka , Goud Kiran M
Published: July 2024

Obesity is a global health concern with multifaceted causes and far-reaching consequences. This study explores the etiological factors (nidanas) of Sthoulya as described in Ayurvedic literature and correlates them with contemporary body composition parameters using a cross-sectional study and stratified random sampling involving 100 subjects. Body composition analysis (BCA) was conducted using measuring parameters such as body fat percentage, BMI, visceral fat, muscle mass, etc. Correlation coefficients were calculated to identify relationships among these variables. The purpose of this study is to correlate Ayurvedic nidanas with Body Composition Parameters, explore the relationships and correlations among weight, fat percentage, bone density, visceral fat and BMI and investigate the impact of lifestyle factors, including dietary habits, on body composition metrics. In this study, we correlated Ayurvedic nidanas with BCA components. Noteworthy correlations were observed, which included the association of sweets, milk, chips and other fried items with higher fat percent levels. Anupa mamsa (chicken meat), rice boiled with milk, and paya (boiled milk) correlated with higher muscle mass. Salty snacks, baked foods, cheese, cold items (sheeta aahara) and 'having more quantity of food' - atibhojana were linked to higher visceral fat levels. This correlation and understanding of the relations provide insights into the interplay between Ayurvedic concepts and modern scientific parameters, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of obesity. The study emphasizes the significance of considering holistic factors, including dietary habits and lifestyle, in addressing obesity and designing personalized interventions for better health outcomes.

Authors: Gupta Priya , Kushwaha Sonal Singh , Panwar Suman
Published: July 2024

The pharmacognostical evaluation of Solanum nigrum Linn., commonly known as black nightshade, was undertaken to establish its botanical identity and quality parameters. The study focused on the macroscopic and microscopic examination of the plant's leaf, stem, and root parts. Macroscopic analysis revealed that the leaves were simple, alternate, and ovate with entire margins. The stems were herbaceous, cylindrical, and branching, while the roots were thin, tap root, and branching. Microscopic examination revealed unique anatomical features for each part. The leaf showed dorsiventral mesophyll with hypo-amphistomatous and anisocytic stomata and glandular trichomes. The stem exhibited an epidermis with unicellular trichomes, collenchyma, and scattered vascular bundles. The root displayed a typical dicot root structure with cork cells, endodermis, pericycle, and xylem vessels. These findings contribute to the pharmacognostical standardisation of Solanum nigrum Linn., aiding in its authentication, quality control, and formulation of herbal medicines. The detailed macroscopic and microscopic characteristics described in this study can serve as reference standards for the identification and quality assessment of Solanum nigrum Linn. in herbal drug preparations.

Published: July 2024

ADHD is one of the most commonly diagnosed behavioural disorders of children, and it occurs in approximately 6-9 % of school-aged children. This study aimed to compare the selected biochemical parameters in blood plasma of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) children and normal children. A prospective study was conducted on ADHD children at Adhiparasakthi Annai Illam, Melmaruvathur, Kancheepuram district, Tamil Nadu, India, and normal children at Sothupakkam Secondary School, Melmaruvathur, Kancheepuram district, Tamil Nadu, India. After the written consent from the parents and head of the institution, a biochemical examination of the serum ferritin and serum zinc levels was performed. A total of 20 children between 6-12 years had been selected. Results reported that the mean serum ferritin levels of normal and ADHD boys were 22.94 and 13.17, respectively, and the mean serum ferritin levels of normal and ADHD girls were 18.53 and 8.93, respectively. The mean serum zinc levels of normal and ADHD boys were 87.89 and 30.99, respectively, and the mean serum zinc levels of normal and ADHD girls were 69.33 and 30.33, respectively. The study concludes that there might be a positive correlation between blood level of serum ferritin and serum zinc among ADHD children r = 0.632, p = 0.050. There was no correlation between blood level of serum ferritin and serum zinc among normal children r = -0.384, p = 0.274. The study suggested that serum iron and serum zinc levels among ADHD children were very low compared to normal children.
BIOCHEMICAL AND CELLULAR CORRELATES OF ESSENTIAL OIL OF PISTACIA INTEGERRIMA J.L. STEWART EX BRANDIS GALLS AGAINST CISPLATIN-INDUCED NEPHROTOXICITY IN MICE
Authors: RL Shirole , NL Shirole , BK Suthariya , MN Saraf
Published: July 2024

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Pistacia integerrima J.L. Stewart ex Brandis (Family Anacardiaceae) galls are used in Indian ethnomedicine for their antiasthmatic, antioxidant anti-inflammatory, sedative, and spasmolytic properties. However, no scientific studies demonstrate its nephroprotective potential against Cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Materials and Methods: The effect of the essential oil of Pistacia integerrima (7.5, 15 and 30 mg/kg/day) and standard drug Vitamin E (250 mg/kg/day) on the kidney was examined 5 days after treatment with Cisplatin (12 mg/kg body weight, i.p.) induced oxidative renal damage in mice. Renal injury was assessed by assessment of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen. Renal oxidative stress was estimated by renal malondialdehyde levels, reduced glutathione levels and enzymatic activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase. Results: Essential oil of Pistacia integerrima (7.5, 15 and 30 mg/kg/day) significantly (p < 0.001) protected the nephrotoxicity induced by Cisplatin. The Cisplatin-induced increase in serum urea and creatinine concentrations was reduced in the essential oil of Pistacia integerrima treated groups. Essential oil of Pistacia integerrima treatment also increased the Cisplatin-induced decline of renal antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and Glutathione activities. Essential oil of Pistacia integerrima increased the concentration of reduced glutathione and protected the increase of Cisplatin-induced lipid peroxidation. Histopathological investigations of the kidney showed a protective effect of the essential oil of Pistacia integerrima in mice. The essential oil of Pistacia integerrima was found to be effective in protecting against oxidative renal damage. The protection is mediated by preventing the decline of renal antioxidant status. Conclusion: The present investigation demonstrates that the essential oil of Pistacia integerrima Stewart ex Brandis has a protective effect on cisplatin-induced experimental nephrotoxicity, and this effect is attributed to its direct anti-inflammatory and strong antioxidant profile. Hence, the essential oil of Pistacia integerrima Stewart ex Brandis has a solid potential to be used as a therapeutic adjuvant in cisplatin nephrotoxicity.

A CRITICAL REVIEW ON DIET (PATHYA- APATHYA) IN DYSLIPIDAEMIA
Authors: Bhatt Pratibha , Goyal DK
Published: July 2024

Ayurveda's principal focus is on maintaining health and resolving existing conditions. The greatest method to maintain good health is to follow a regular exercise and healthy eating schedule. In order to effectively treat lifestyle illnesses like hyperlipidemia, healthy eating habits and lifestyle modifications are essential. Pathya is a wholesome diet that is beneficial to the body and the mind. The unwholesome routine, often referred to as Apathya, is miserable. Ahara Vidhi Visesayatanas like Prakriti, Karana, Samyoga, Rashi, Desha, Kala, Upayogasamstha, and Upabhokta should be taken into account when recommending Pathya Ahara. The greatest strategy for addressing hyperlipidemia is to use Pathya and avoid Apathya Ahara and Vihara. Items like Guru, Snigdha, Kaphamedokara, and Abhishyandhi should be avoided, but Laghu, Ruksha, and Kaphamedohara and Srotoshodhana foods should be taken. A balanced diet rich in complex carbohydrates, vegetables, and fruits, spiced in moderation, and low in oils and fats is preferred for the management and prevention of hyperlipidemia or Medodushti. Exercises and yogic practises help to lower psychological stress factors and Meda, both of which are causes of hyperlipidemia.

Rajyakshama is one of the Asthamahagada according to Acharya Charaka. Despite of availability of extremely effective treatment tuberculosis is still a major problem faced by world. This could probably be due to the drug resistance and due to side effects, that anti tubercular medicines possess. In current situation Ayurveda’s involvement plays an important role not only in treatment part but also to boost immunity of the patient. thus, helping them to fight infection, this is achieved by Rasayana Chikitsa. An attempt is made to study collaborative approach towards TB. There is a need of integrative approach from modern as well as traditional system of medicine to improve the quality of patient’s life suffering from tuberculosis by reducing the side effects of anti-tubercular drugs and to boost immunity against the disease.

The study on the Agricultural Knowledge Information System (AKIS) in the Jalpaiguri District of West Bengal (2017-2023) aimed to understand the actors involved and their inter-linkages for disseminating agricultural knowledge and information. It focused on three blocks: Jalpaiguri Sadar, Maynaguri, and Dhupguri. The findings indicated a high linkage diversity (average value of 0.79), suggesting a dense network of connections among actors. However, the linkage strength was weak (average value of 0.15), highlighting that while a broad network of interactions exists, the effectiveness of these connections needs improvement. Despite challenges in mobilizing officials for data collection, the study provided valuable insights into the AKIS in the district.

The rising threat of deepfake technology challenges public trust in media, necessitating robust countermeasures. This study proposes the Anti-DFK framework, a comprehensive strategy to mitigate the spread of deepfakes on major social platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. The framework integrates deep learning-based detection engines, digital watermarking, and advanced network access controls, including URL filtering, domain reputation filtering, content-type filtering, and Geo-IP blocking. Analyzing historical deepfake data, user engagement metrics, and public sentiment from Kaggle Datasets, the study employed deep learning models—CNNs, LSTMs, and Transformer-based—to evaluate detection capabilities, achieving the highest controlled environment accuracy of 0.97. Digital watermarking techniques were tested for robustness against various attacks, with the DCT method displaying significant resilience. Network access controls were assessed for their effectiveness in curtailing the spread of deepfakes, with content filtering proving the most effective by reducing dissemination by nearly 80%. Findings indicate a critical negative impact of deepfakes on public trust, underscoring the need for the integrated approach offered by the Anti-DFK framework. The study concludes that implementing these sophisticated detection tools, combined with robust digital watermarking and stringent network controls, can significantly enhance the integrity of media content and restore public confidence.

Authors: Pal Ayushi , Jha Shivani
Published: July 2024

Global pandemic COVID-19 severely impacted the agricultural economies of all countries, including India. The paper covers the current status of agribusiness in India and how it has emerged as a major indicator for growth and development during the pandemic. In India, MANAGE has trained 72,806 agri-graduates in agripreneurship, and as of December 2020, there were 30,583 (42%) active agriventures around the world. Majority of farmers have lost their markets as a result of lockdown, and due to travel limitations, lack of training and consulting services resulted in crop loss, high produce prices, and labour scarcity. Agri Bazaar, Harvesting Farmer Network, Agricx Lab, CropIn, Bigbasket, Agrostar, Sickle Innovations, Agrirain, Farmguide, and PayAgri are few Agri-startups that arose in India during the pandemic to address the issues that farmers faced. Reorienting current agriculture towards agribusiness within the existing opportunities has the potential to significantly alter the lives farmers and its stakeholders as agripreneurship has demonstrated the path to farmer growth and sustainability even during the pandemic.

Onion (Allium cepa L.) is a crucial crop in Bangladesh, but current winter-only cultivation fails to meet national demand. This study aims to optimize summer onion production through proper plant spacing and nutrient management. The field experiment was conducted during the period from March to June 2016 in the Horticultural Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka to find out the effect of spacing and nutrient sources on yield of summer onion. The experiment consisted of two factors: Factor A: Three levels of spacing. Viz., S1: 10 cm x 15 cm, S2: 15 cm x 15 cm, and S3: 20 cm x 15 cm. Factor B: Four levels of nutrient sources. viz., F0: (control); F1: Vermicompost (7 t/ha); F2: Mustard oil cake (6 t/ha) and F3: Inorganic fertilizer (N-110 + P-50 + K-125 Kg/ha). There were 12 treatment combinations. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Results indicated that 15x15 cm spacing significantly enhanced plant height, bulb diameter, and yield, achieving 22.03 t/ha. Vermicompost (7 t/ha) yielded the highest plant height, bulb size, and overall yield (20.61 t/ha). Combined treatment of 15x15 cm spacing with vermicompost resulted in the highest yield (24.06 t/ha). These findings suggest that optimized spacing and organic nutrient application can significantly improve summer onion production, potentially reducing dependency on imports and enhancing food security in Bangladesh.

Gilles-de-la-Tourette Syndrome in Childhood: Molecular, Neurobiological and Genetic Aspects
Authors: Bittmann Stefan
Published: July 2024

Animals often exhibit repetitive and predictable behaviors. These repetitive actions can be learned and become habits, which can be advantageous from an evolutionary standpoint as they reduce cognitive strain and attentional resources. Repetitive behaviors can also be intentional and conscious, occurring without habit formation, especially in normal child development or certain neuropsychiatric conditions. When these behaviors disrupt social interactions and daily functioning, they may be considered pathological. Conditions such as Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) can manifest as compulsive, stereotyped, and ritualistic behaviors. The dopaminergic and serotonergic pathways are believed to play an important role in the development of GTS. The striatum nucleus in the basal ganglia is believed to play a key role in regulating these repetitive behaviors through its connections with various areas of the cortex. However, the specific mechanisms within the striatum, including its organization, cellular functions, and connections, are still actively researched. At the cellular level, post-mortem studies have found a reduced number of parvalbumin-expressing and cholinergic interneurons. There is extensive evidence that the dopaminergic signal transmission in the striatum is disrupted. This work focus on an overview of Gilles de la Tourette syndrome with special focus on molecular aspects, treatment options and recent research with a focus on new targets to treat this rare hereditary disorder in childhood.

Published: July 2024

Aims: This study aims to analyze the influence of visitors’ perception on attributes of attraction, amenities, and accessibility, and analyzes the visitors’ motivation for their decision to visit the Muara Takus Temple area in post COVID-19 pandemic. After confirming the relationship between dependent and independent variables, the next study analyzes the level of consumer interest based on visitor’s perceptions and motivations.
Study Design: The study design utilized in this research uses explanatory methods with a quantitative approach. Consisting of two phases, the first phase analyzes the relationship between variables.  The second phase analyzes the visitor perception map.
Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted in Muara Takus Temple Area, Riau Province, Indonesia for two months (April - June 2022).
Methodology: This study utilizes survey research methods.  The sampling technique applied is simple random sampling. The determination of the number of samples makes use of the Slovin formula. Based on the Slovin formula from a population of 43,805 people and a confidence level of 90%, a sample of 163 respondents was determined. Data processing utilizes multiple linear regression and analysis tests that use T-Test and F-Test.  The next step is to analyze the perception map and test the analysis utilizing stress values.
Results: The results of the study found that there was no influence of visitor motivation on the decision to visit the temple area but also partially visitor perceptions on the attributes of attraction, amenities, and accessibility influenced the decision to visit. In addition, the multidimensional analysis found that attributes of attractions are able to meet visitors’ expectations, but amenities and accessibility attributes have not been able to meet visitors’ expectations. The performance of attractions is able to meet visitors’ expectations but the performance of amenities and accessibility has not met visitors’ expectations;  The difference between the two lies in their importance.   Visitors attach great importance to meeting their needs on the attributes of amenity but not on the attributes of accessibility.
Conclusion: In an effort to meet the needs of visitors to Muara Takus temple After the Covid-19 pandemic, innovation in policies is needed in an effort to improve amenities’ performance and consider innovating the policy to improve accessibility performance because afterall, visitors still need attributes of accessibility to reach the Muara Takus temple area.
