Çanakkale Cephesi'nde 19 Mayıs Türk Tarruzu ve 24 Mayıs Ateşkesi
Authors: KERVAN Aslıhan
Published: April 2022

Çanakkale Kara Harekâtı, 25 Nisan 1915 tarihinde Müttefik Kuvvetlerin Gelibolu Yarımadası’nda Seddülbahir ve Arıburnu Kıyılarına asker çıkarmasıyla başlamıştır. Yarımadanın en güneyindeki Seddülbahir mıntıkası ana çıkarma alanı olup buradaki harekât 8’inci İngiliz Kolordusu tarafından gerçekleştirilmiştir. Tali bir çıkarma alanı olan Arıburnu çıkarması Avustralya ve Yeni Zelanda Kolordusu (ANZAC) tarafından yapılmıştır. Arıburnu kıyılarına yapılan bu çıkarma 27’nci ve 57’nci Türk Alay’ları tarafından karşılanmıştır. Zorlu coğrafyanın hakim yükseltilerine yerleşen Türk kuvvetleri Anzak Kolordusunu denize sürmek için 27 Nisan ve 1 Mayıs 1915 tarihlerinde tüm cephe hattı boyunca taarruzda bulunmuş fakat amaçlarına ulaşamamışlardır. 19 Mayıs Türk Taarruzu, kıyıda çıkarma yaptıkları dar bir alana kıstırılmış Anzak Kolordusunu denize dökmek için gerçekleştirilen son taarruzdur. Taarruz sonrası insansız bölgede kalan Türk yaralı ve şehitlerinin toplanamaması her iki tarafı da sıhhî ve vicdani sebeplerle rahatsız etmiştir. Hatlar arasında kalanların toplanabilmesi için yapılan görüşmeler neticesinde 24 Mayıs 1915 tarihinde Çanakkale Cephesi’nin tek resmi ateşkes anlaşması yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada Kuzey Grup Komutanlığı’nın mevcudunun ¼’ini kaybettiği 19 Mayıs Türk Taarruzu, ateşkese giden süreç ve 24 Mayıs Ateşkesi Türk, İngiliz ve Avustralya kaynakları ışığında incelenmeye çalışılmıştır.

Published: April 2022

A migraine is a clinical diagnosis with a presentation of one or more severe unilateral or bilateral headache(s) often preceded by an aura and typically accompanied by nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and/or phonophobia. This neurological disease is often debilitating and greatly affects the quality of life of those it inflicts. In fact, a recent study conducted by the Global Burden of Disease and published in The Lancet Neurology revealed that migraines ranked second to only back pain as the most disabling disease. Triggers for migraines have ranged from female sex, low socioeconomic status, and diet to loud noises, sleep hygiene, and stress. Along with its clinical presentation, laboratory tests and imaging help rule out other potential causes of the headache and lead to a diagnosis of migraine. Migraines are typically divided into three phases: prodromal, headache, and postdrome. The pathophysiology of each phase remains under investigation, with differing theories regarding their pathways. Existing therapies are abortive therapies for acute migraines or preventative therapies. Abortive therapy consists of NSAIDs and triptans. Preventative therapies include tricyclic antidepressants, calcium channel blockers, beta-blockers, and anticonvulsants. In this review, we focus on the role of NSAIDs and the COX-2 inhibitor, celecoxib oral solution, for the abortive treatment of acute migraines.
Research on a Buckling Detection Technique for Rectangular Concrete-filled Steel Tubular Columns based on Grating Projection
Authors: Bing Xu Bing Xu , Bing Xu Lang Wang , Lang Wang Ming-Zhi Xie
Published: April 2022

The surface buckling of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns under axial compression was observed in real time by using fringe projection, and pre-set fringes with phase information were projected onto the surface of the member. The buckling information (the size and shape of drum buckling) and its evolution were obtained by analysing the buckling images during the loading process. Nine images of key moments during the experiment were obtained by a technique of obtaining the actual measurements synchronously, and the position of the bulge on the whole side of the steel pipe was obtained by unwrapping. The shape and evolution of the drum buckling of the steel pipe developed symmetrically before point C (the ultimate bearing capacity) and evolved from 2 to 3 peaks. After passing through point C, the buckling deformation was asymmetrical. The deformation near the loading end increased gradually, and the buckling deformation increased with loading. The fastest growth stage was between points C and F, and the load displacement curve showed a rapid reduction in the load. These experimental results show that this noncontact measurement method based on fringe projection is effective in detecting the buckling of rectangular CFST column surfaces.

 
Image Visual Attention Mechanism-based Global and Local Semantic Information Fusion for Multi-modal English Machine Translation
Authors: Xiaobin Guo Xiaobin Guo
Published: April 2022

Machine translation is a hot research topic at present. Traditional machine translation methods are not effective because they require a large number of training samples. Image visual semantic information can improve the effect of the text machine translation model. Most of the existing works fuse the whole image visual semantic information into the translation model, but the image may contain different semantic objects. These different local semantic objects have different effects on the words prediction of the decoder. Therefore, this paper proposes a multi-modal machine translation model based on the image visual attention mechanism via global and local semantic information fusion. The global semantic information in the image and the local semantic information are fused into the text attention weight as the image attention. Thus, the alignment information between the hidden state of the decoder and the text of the source language is further enhanced. Experimental results on the English-German translation pair and the Indonesian-Chinese translation pair on the Multi30K dataset show that the proposed model has a better performance than the state-of-the-art multi-modal machine translation models, the BLEU values of English-German translation results and Indonesian-Chinese translation results exceed 43% and 29%, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed model.

 
An Improved Kernel Correlation Filter Tracking Combined with Mobilenet SSD
Authors: Chang-Jian Wang Chang-Jian Wang , Chang-Jian Wang Yong Ding , Yong Ding Ye Ji
Published: April 2022

This article mainly solves the problems that exist when using the Kernel Correlation Filter (KCF) for tracking in complex scenarios. To make the algorithm suitable for target tracking under complex conditions such as scale changes, similar interference, and occlusion, a MobileNet SSD (Single Shot Detection) target detection combined with an improved KCF target tracking algorithm is proposed. Firstly, the MobileNet SSD is used to locate the target in the initial frame, and the location is sent to KCF for training. Secondly, aiming at the problem of scale changes, a Binary-Tree scale search strategy is proposed. In this strategy, the scale value is searched in a tree shape according to the response size, which reduces the number of scale searches. Finally, the average peak correlation energy is used for occlusion determination, and the model update strategy is improved, thereby enhancing the algorithm’s ability to track occluded targets. The results of experimental evaluation and comparison on the OTB100 and UAV123 data sets show that when the target has complex conditions such as scale changes, similar interference, occlusion, etc., the proposed algorithm performs well in mainstream related filtering algorithms. Through the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the experimental results, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified.

 
Face Recognition Based on SRC Combined with Sparse Embedding Dimensionality Reduction
Authors: Chun-Man Yan Chun-Man Yan , Chun-Man Yan Yu-Yao Zhang
Published: April 2022

Sparse representation-based classification (SRC) method has achieved good recognition results and shown strong robustness for face recognition, especially when the face image is affected by illumination variations, expression changes and occlusion. SRC method simply uses the training set as a dictionary to encode test samples. However, the high-dimensional training face data usually contain a large amount of redundant information, which will increase the complexity of this method. Therefore, the image dimensionality reduction procedure is separately performed by most of the existing methods before SRC is launched, but this may not be able to make full use of the discriminative information of the training samples. In this paper, based on the efficient SRC method, a sparse embedding dimensionality reduction strategy is combined with to achieve a face recognition method. For the proposed method, a projection matrix is used to project high-dimensional data into a low-dimensional space. At the same time, a discriminative coefficient constraint term in the objective function is introduced to reduce the classification residual of the sample through the distance relationship between all coefficients. Then the label information of the sample is used to iteratively update the projection matrix and coefficient representation. Finally, the test samples are projected into the low-dimensional space for classification. A large number of experimental results on three widely used face datasets show that the proposed method improves the discrimination of face images in low-dimensional space and can achieve better face recognition results.

Published: April 2022

The information integrity is needed to solving socio-economic statistical problems. However, the information integrity is destroyed by missing data which is caused by various subjective and objective reasons. So the missing data interpolation is used to supplement missing data. In this paper, missing data interpolation with variational Bayesian inference is proposed. This method is combined with Gaussian model to approximate the posterior distribution to obtain complete data. The experiments include two datasets (artificial dataset and actual dataset) based on three missing ratios separately. The missing data interpolation performance of variational Bayesian method is compared with that which is obtained by mean interpolation and K-nearest neighbor interpolation methods separately in MSE (Mean Square Error) and MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error). The experimental results show that the proposed variational Bayesian method is better in MSE and MAPE.

Published: April 2022

As the infrastructure of intelligent transportation systems, Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) improve the efficiency of transportation. Meanwhile, key management and privacy leakage of users in VANETs are two vital security aspects. It is extremely important to perform these actions promptly and efficiently. Based on the idea of batch authentication and ring signcryption, a conditional privacy protection scheme of anonymous multi-receiver is proposed in this paper. On the one hand, the scheme with ring list selection has an optional privacy level. On the other hand, the blockchain prevents the single point of failure problem in key management and shares the public keys of vehicles promptly in Road Side Units (RSUs). Finally, experiments show that the proposed scheme has higher efficiency with certain security as the security analysis shows.

Tertullian’s Case for the Christiani Creatoris in Adversus Marcionem
Authors: Pierce Alexander H.
Published: April 2022

In offering a close reading of Tertullian’s Adversus Marcionem 3–4, the present essay contends that Tertullian supports his belief that Christians are the proper continuation of God’s people in history by making a case for Christian separation from the Jews as the fulfillment of scriptural prophecy. Tertullian’s reading of the Creator’s Scriptures is his exegetical basis for forming a logic of separation between Christians and the chosen Jewish nation. This differentiation does not require an ontological bifurcation of the Creator and the God revealed in Jesus. Rather, God the Creator and Father of Jesus reveals this distinction in the operation of his providence in history and in Scripture. It is in this very separation that Christians fulfill the prophecies of the Creator God of the Hebrew Bible and religion.
No One Has Ascended into Heaven except the One Who Descends: The Climax of Ascension in Scripture
Authors: Moore Colton F.
Published: April 2022

This article presents an exegetical and theological investigation of the theme of ascension in the Christian Scriptures and will demonstrate that ascension climaxes in Jesus’s ascension to the cross, the transtemporal locus wherein, as we will see, he becomes life-giving flesh for the world. Furthermore, this ascension is not merely an ascent, but also a simultaneous descending from heaven as the eucharistic bread of heaven by which the body of Christ ascends with Christ in his ascended flesh.
The Theological Lineage of N. T. Wright’s Historical Method
Authors: Rowlands Jonathan
Published: April 2022

In this article the author examines the historiographical methodology of N.T. Wright. The author claims that Wright employs the methods of “critical realism” in an attempt to retain metaphysical and theological neutrality in his historiographical writing. However, the author argues that Wright’s reception of critical realism, from Meyer and Lonergan, ignores implicit theological presuppositions within the critical realist approach that make it unsuitable for this very task from the outset.

Published: April 2022

Em usinas siderúrgicas integradas a coque o carvão mineral tem papel fundamental, principalmente na produção de coque metalúrgico que será utilizado nos altos-fornos, para produção do ferro gusa. Além disso, o carvão mineral é utilizado na injeção de combustíveis pulverizados, e em alguns casos na sinterização. O grande desafio do setor é produzir aço a preços competitivos, buscando por matérias-primas com menor custo e otimizar seus processos. Outro desafio é relacionado às emissões de CO2 . A siderurgia é responsável por cerca de 10% das emissões de CO2 no mundo e precisa rever seus processos e matérias-primas para se adequar à nova ordem ambiental do mundo. Uma das estratégias a curto para a siderurgia, principalmente em países como Brasil, é a substituição de parte do carvão mineral utilizado por biomassa. A biomassa é considera neutra em emissões de CO2 , devido a captura do mesmo durante o processo de fotossíntese, o que a torna atraente para seu uso nos processos siderúrgicos. Além disso, o seu uso pode gerar redução de custos, principalmente se for considerado os rejeitos do agronegócio que não possuem um alto valor agregado. Neste contexto, por este capítulo serão mostradas algumas possíveis utilizações de biomassa nos processos siderúrgicos através de estudos que vem sendo realizado no tema e aplicações na indústria. Será possível notar que o uso de biomassa é uma alternativa viável a curto prazo para atender as crescentes restrições ambientais atuais.
O USO DE LUTEÍNA E ZEAXANTINA COMO CORANTES INTRAOCULARES PARA CIRURGIA OFTALMOLÓGICA
Authors: Martins Diogo de Sousa
Published: April 2022

Foi estudada a segurança e eficácia de formulações intraoculares contendo Luteína e Zeaxantina, isolada ou combinada com Azul Brilhante ou Azul de Trypan em cirurgia de catarata e vitreorretiniana. Soluções-corantes contendo óleo de rícino polietoxilado (Cremophor EL™) como veículo, não apresentam afinidade corante para a Cápsula Anterior, Vítreo, Hialóide Posterior, Membrana Limitante Interna e Membrana Epirretiniana. Adicionalmente, as soluções contendo Cremophor EL™ mostraram-se citotóxicas. Pelo contrário, soluções-corantes contendo álcool polivinílico como veículo mostraram-se eficazes e seguras. Os testes de eficácia em olhos cadavéricos mostraram apenas cinco formulações (sem Cremophor EL™) que coraram o vítreo menos de +++/4. Quanto à Cápsula Anterior e Membrana Limitante Iinterna, apenas a formulação de Luteína e Zeaxantina a 0,5% associada a Azul de Trypan a 0,04%; e a Luteína e Zeaxantina a 0,3% associada a Azul Brilhante a 0,025% atingiram a máxima coloração com os níveis mais baixos de Azul de Trypan e Azul Brilhante. O estudo de toxicidade intravítrea mostrou que nenhuma formulação testada exibe toxicidade “in-vivo” no vítreo e retina. As soluções-corantes Luteína e Zeaxantina a 0,3%-1% associada a Azul Brilhante a 0,025% e Luteína e Zeaxantina a 0,5%-1% associada a Azul de Trypan a 0,04%, ambas em álcool polivinílico, foram as melhores fórmulas em termos de estabilidade, pH e osmolaridade. Estas formulações atingiram os melhores resultados na coloração da Cápsula Anterior, Vítreo e Membrana Limitante Interna de olhos humanos cadavéricos. As soluções-corantes à base de Luteína e Zeaxantina poderão ser uma alternativa segura e eficaz em cirurgia de catarata e vitreorretiniana.
International Sports Transnational Legal and Regulatory Order: Quintessential Regulatory Capitalism
Authors: Windholz Eric L
Published: April 2022

Sports transnational legal and regulatory order is an excellent example of regulatory capitalism on a global scale – a hybrid regulatory system of great sophistication: part private, part public; both national and international; and comprising innovative legal and regulatory mechanisms to bring order to what is a complex and contested regulatory space. Yet, to date, there have been comparatively few attempts to apply regulatory scholarship’s understandings of regulatory capitalism to the broader phenomenon of regulating international sports. This article remedies this gap, and in so doing enhances our understanding of the regulation of sport specifically, and of transnational legal and regulatory orders more broadly.

Filtered OFDM PAPR performance for 5G communications is improved utilizing PTS
Authors: Renuka N. , Naganjaneyulu P. V.
Published: April 2022

A waveform candidate for fifth-generation (5G) communications has been recommended: the filtered orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (F-OFDM) system. Filtering-based waveform frameworks are distinguished by the suppression of out-of-band emission (OOBE) and asynchronous transmission. As a result, the new waveform candidates are still struggling with the PAPR issue. In multicarrier systems, partial transmit sequence (PTS) is an efficient way to combat the rising tendency of PAPR. The high PAPR value of an F-OFDM system is reduced using the PTS technique in this study. The OFDM system is then put up against this one. Other relevant metrics, such as frequency localization, bit error rate (BER), and computational complexity, are evaluated and analysed in both systems with and without PTS. According to simulation studies, F-OFDM based on PTS provides better PAPR, BER, and OOBE than OFDM. F-BER OFDM's is unaffected by the PTS technique's implementation.

Published: April 2022

Adolescence is a period of major changes, both physiological as well as psychological. This phase is also considered as an important educational transition point when the adolescent seeks to establish an identity for himself through achievement of academic and career goals. In the search for a unique social identity for themselves, adolescents are frequently confused about what is “right” and what is “wrong”. G. Stanley Hall (1904) denoted this period as “storms and stresses”. Mental Health is the full and harmonious functioning of the whole body. A sound mind can exist in sound body. Mental health is the balanced and integrated development of the personality. During adolescents period the mental health of the children is affected by different factors. The present study focuses on resilience, wellbeing and the factors affecting mental health of the adolescents. Thus, the present study explores the relationship between resilience and wellbeing in context to the mental health of adolescents.

Published: April 2022

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the total esterified cholesterol and non-HDL esterified cholesterol as a risk marker for coronary artery disease and compare it with the classical risk factors. Methods: Fifty-six patients with proven coronary artery disease as assessed by angiography and 40 healthy controls were subjects for study. Total esterified cholesterol, Non-HDL esterified cholesterol and the classic lipid profile parameters were measured for both groups. Results: Total Esterified Cholesterol was not found to be significantly associated with CAD. However Non-HDL esterified cholesterol was found to be having statistically significant association. Using Receiver Operator Characteristics (ROC) Curve it was found that Non-HDL esterified cholesterol at a cut off value of 107mg/dl, has a sensitivity of 57% and specificity of 66.6%, as a risk marker for the coronary artery disease. Conclusion: Evaluation of coronary artery disease by measuring esterified cholesterol fraction of Non-HDL cholesterol may help in risk assessment and will provide more data to understand the mechanisms of cholesterol homeostasis.

Trait emotional intelligence can predict the health behaviour of employees
Authors: Pandey Mamta , Sharma Deepti
Published: April 2022

Emotional Intelligence can be measured either as an ability, based on maximum performance tests or as a trait, based on self-perception tests. A lot of academic, professional and behavioural attributes have been studied in relation to EI and research has shown that trait EI is better correlated with health outcomes than ability EI. Health behaviour is an understudied subject that has been shown to be linked with EI. The present study evaluated the correlation of EI, measured both by an ability and a trait measure among one hundred nineteen employees of the Indian pharmaceutical industry with health behaviour, as measured by Vickers health behavioural checklist, and to assess the role of age in association with these parameters. Trait EI, as measured by Schutte self-report test, was found to be better correlated with health behaviour than ability EI, as measured by an Indian scale by Chadha and Singh. Further, trait EI was found to be predictive of health behaviour. Age was positively correlated with both ability and trait EI, but not with health behaviour. The potential implication of the results for the organization and the future direction of research in this field has been discussed in the Indian scenario.

Authors: Rashwan Amr Samir , Ali Mahmoud Abd Elrahman , Soluman Hisham Misbah , Moharram Ashraf Nehad , Alqalyubi Ahmed Samir
Published: April 2022

Background: The ACL functions both as an anterior stabilizer and as a sensory organ. It is not only provides proprioceptive function, but also initiates protective and stabilizing muscular reflexes. Most ACLs are ruptured in the proximal half and most mechanoreceptors have been reported to be located in the sub-synovial layer near the tibial insertion of the ACL. Therefore, it is reasonable to preserve the remnant tissue. Particularly the tibial side, as a source of reinnervation if impingement and Cyclops can prevented. Objective: To compare proprioception after ACL reconstruction with remnant preservation versus non remnant preservation. Methods: This is a prospective single blind controlled randomized study was done from December 2015 to October 2017, it was conducted on forty patients (40 males). Divided into two groups twenty patients in each one to assess proprioception after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Group (A) consisted of 20 patients with mean age 28±5.57 years who underwent to ACLR with tibial remnant preservation. Group (B) consisted of 20 patients with mean age 29.05±5.596 years who underwent to ACLR with non-remnant preservation were selected on the basis of clinical picture and imaging findings.

Background and Objectives: The incidence of palpable thyroid nodules is approximately 4%–7% in the population.  Most thyroid nodules are benign in nature but malignancy should be ruled out, which is quite less frequent. In such cases, a reliable diagnostic modality to evaluate and differentiate the malignant thyroid nodules is required. This retrospective study was conducted with the objective to evaluate the accuracy of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) and Ultrasonography (USG) for diagnosis of euthyroid nodules & to differentiate malignant thyroid nodules from the benign nodules in comparison to histopathological diagnosis. Materials and Methodology: It’s a retrospective study that included 132 patients who underwent USG and FNAC of thyroid nodules.  Only patients with available histopathology were included in the study. The results of USG, FNAC were evaluated and correlated with histopathology report considered as the final diagnosis. Results: Out of 132 patients, USG showed benign lesions in 107(81.06%)  patients, out of which histopathology showed benign lesions in 103 (96.26%) patients and malignant lesions in 4 (3.74%) patients. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), false-positive rate, false-negative rate and accuracy of USG of thyroid lesions were 78.95%, 91.15%, 60%, 96.26%, 8.85%, 21.05%, 89.39% respectively.
Attitude of teachers towards inclusive education at elementary level of Golaghat District, Assam (India)
Authors: Goswami Pallabi
Published: April 2022

In recent years Inclusive Education has emerged as one of the most dominant issue in education. However, inclusive education can be defined as a system where children with special needs and children without special needs from a given community learn together in the same school, it helps both the children with or without disability. In India various policies were implemented for making the process successful. But in reality there are number of students with special needs who are segregated from the system of inclusive education and one of the barrier in the practice of inclusive education is presented by the teacher's attitude towards inclusion. In order to take the process of inclusion into an educational system as a part of a social process, the teacher should realize its importance to a great extent. So the researcher wants to examine to which extent teachers in elementary schools accept the notion of inclusion of children with special needs. Moreover, the researcher also wants to explore the other challenges and barriers towards the implementation of Inclusive Education in elementary education. To make education as a birth right to all, Inclusive Education is absolutely should be the need of the hour.

To evaluate radiologic findings of portal hypertension at computed tomography (CT) of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease for early diagnosis. Images of 200 cases who underwent non-enhanced abdominal CT were reviewed. The patients with the difference between hepatic and splenic attenuation (CT L-S)> 10 were enrolled in hepatosteatosis group. The remaining formed control group. The relationship between two groups about diameters of portal and splenic veins, craniocaudal (CC) span of liver, splenic index, caudate lobe/right lobe (C/RL) ratio was analyzed statistically by Mann– Whitney U Test and Student’s t-test. Total 200 cases, as hepatosteatosis (n= 120) and control (n= 80) groups, were involved in this study. Liver CC span, splenic index and C/RL ratio between two groups were found to be statistically significant (p< 0.01). The splenic index and C/RL ratio are important findings of portal HT and fibrosis. CT imaging can be beneficial for diagnosis and treatment of NAFLD patients.
Migration of dental implant towards maxillary sinus
Authors: Alenazi Adel
Published: April 2022

Placing a dental implant in the maxillary posterior region is a challenge to a dentist because of its proximity to the maxillary sinus and decreased height of bone in this region. The surgical approaches for instilling a dental implant are thus associated with complications, of which migration of the implant into pneumatized sinus can also occur. Though this type of displacement is an accidental occurrence and can occur either intra-operatively or post-operatively, but a dentist should be adequately prepared if such a situation arises. These two (02) case reports and an overview will focus on the migration of dental implants toward the maxillary sinus with its probable causes, clinical findings, diagnosis, associated complications, and management.

Published: April 2022

The objective this study was to assess the effect of silane-containing universal adhesive (UA) on theshear bond strength (SBS) of dual-cure resin cement to glass-ceramic material. IPS e.max CAD, IvoclarVivadent blocks were prepared, polished, acid etched with a 5% hydrofluoric acid etchant and then randomly distributed into three groups (n = 15) according to the priming material applied for each material. In group 1 (control), no priming was performed prior to the application of a resin cement (Multilink automix, Ivoclarvivadent). In group 2, a silane-based primer (Monobond Plus, IvoclarVivadent) was applied onto the ceramic surface while in group 3, a silane-containing universal adhesive, single bond universal, 3m was used as a primer. The resin-ceramic bonded specimens were subjected to artificial aging via 10k thermocycling before the SBS was assessed using a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Failure mode patterns were evaluated using a scanning electron microscope. The SBS data were statistically analysed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (α = 0.05).

The present study was designed to describe the clinicodemographic profile of CKD patients and its manifestations on oral cavity and throat in central India, Madhya Pradesh (M.P.). This was a cross sectional, analytic study conducted in the Department of Medicine, Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital (SHMH), associated with Shyam Shah Medical College (SSMC), Rewa, in the central India, M.P. between February 2019 and August 2020.Data of 127 patients with CKD were recorded and studied. The mean age of patients was 50.86±17.28 yr, 70.07 percent males and 29.93 percent female’s .84.70 percent were from rural area, mostly having >1 month of duration of CKD. 74.02% patients were in stage 5 of CKD, all on dialysis. 44.09% were associated with diabetes & 72.44% with hypertension. Most patients have Serum urea levels of >101 mg/dl with a mean level of 146.85 mg/dl, serum creatinine of >5mg/dl in most patients, serum hemoglobin levels of <7gm% in 54.33% and most have albuminuria.
Evaluation of serum thyroid hormone profile and its correlation with the clinical outcome in critically ill children
Authors: Rustagi Megha , Anudhakar A.
Published: April 2022

Critical illness is often accompanied by sick euthyroid syndrome, an endocrine anomaly with characteristically low triiodothyronine (T3), low thyroxine (T4), and altered thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels in the serum. This warrants exploration of the relationship between thyroid hormone levels and clinical outcome of critical illness. To evaluate the thyroid hormone profile in critically ill children and assess its correlation with disease severity and outcome. Fifty critically ill children, aged 1 month-15 years, admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit with organ dysfunction and requiring pharmacological/mechanical support to maintain vital function, were recruited into this observational study. Risk of Mortality (PRISM) scores were evaluated for all patients as an indicator of disease severity and their thyroid profile investigated for serum T3, T4, and TSH levels. These were correlated with each other and with the disease outcome using statistical software R version 3.6.3. At the end of hospital stay, mean T3, T4, and TSH levels were significantly increased in discharged patients (p<0.001) but reduced in expired patients (p=0.01) compared to their values at admission. Mean T4 levels at discharge/death showed a significant negative correlation with the mean PRISM score recorded 24 h after admission.

The Indian carps are the most important food fishes and they have a considerable economic impact on the country's economy. In several parts of the country, they are widely cultivated. The Indian Major Carps include the Catla catla, Labeo calbasu, Cirrhinus mrigala, and Labeo rohita, to name a few species. The fish Cyprinus carpio, both in the wild and in captivity, is vulnerable to Aeromonas hydrophila infections. Investigations carried out on Cyrinus carpio to better understand the implications of a pathogenic Aeromonas hydrophila isolates impacts on fish health revealed that the pathogen affects severely. The fish species that were injected with the bacterial suspension developed lesions of a similar nature, and dead fishes with ulcers on their bodies were found in all of the tanks. Even after 15 days of incubation and observation, no difference was observed in the fishes in the control group of fishes. Despite this, not all of the fish who got ulcers perished. Healing has been shown in some fish that had small ulcers, according to the research. Cyprinus carpio injected with a mixed bacterial suspension of AH-04 and AH-07 recorded a death rate was 65.0 percent.
