Authors: Ghosh Arindam , Pal Sujay , Das Debjani , Sasmal Debojyoti , Patra Rishavdeb , Sarkar Ruchirendu
Published: May 2024

Background:

Children of all ages may ingest a foreign body (FB). Most (>95%) of ingestions are accidental. Gastrointestinal tract obstruction or impaction by a FB depends on the physical properties of the object such as size, shape, and composition. The majority of ingested FBs are low-risk objects and can be managed without imaging or intervention where as high-risk objects and symptomatic children may require careful observation and surgical intervention. The aim of our study is to discuss our experience of management of FB ingestion in children in IPGME&R and SSKM Hospital, a tertiary care centre and to identify the high-risk FBs ingested and discuss the symptoms where conservative managements can be done even in sharp objects.

Materials and Methods:

This observational single institute-based study was conducted in the Department of Pediatric Surgery in IPGME&R and SSKM Hospital and data were collected and analyzed statistically.

Results:

A total of 84 patients came with ingested FBs (Boy – 59 and Girl – 29) and 22 were sharp FBs. Among nonsharp FBs, coins are most common 40 (47.6% of all FBs). Most of them were asymptomatic 75 (89.3%) and among all four required surgical intervention and eight were removed by endoscopy. In 72 patients, no intervention was required for FB ingestion including 16 sharp objects.

Conclusion:

Most of the ingested FBs are expelled through stool spontaneously. Nonsharp FBs such as magnets and button battery large size are high-risk objects and require active surgical intervention and sharp FBs need very much careful observation after admission and very few requires surgical intervention. Endoscopic removal is indicated in some early cases.

Treatment with oral or inhaled bronchodilator without inhaled corticosteroids in bronchial asthma: A dangerous weapon!
Authors: Patil Shital , Toshniwal Sham , Gondhali Gajanan
Published: May 2024

Bronchial asthma is the most common chronic lung disease in the obstructive airway disease category with the characteristic feature of “reversible” airflow obstruction. Despite an increase in awareness of risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment options available to treat bronchial asthma, more than half of cases received irrational treatment. Inadequate treatment is reasoning more morbidity and mortality of this easily treatable disease. Inhaled short- and long-acting bronchodilators, antimuscarinic agents, and inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) are the cornerstone of the treatment of asthma and are categorized as “rescue and controller” role in disease management. Bronchodilators without ICSs are not recommended because of more harm than benefit in bronchial asthma. ICSs are the gold standard and the recommended treatment for asthma due to their anti-inflammatory and disease-modifying property labeled as “game changer role.” Bronchodilators with ICSs will have added benefit of symptom control, improvement in quality of life, and decrease in exacerbation. Combo of bronchodilators with ICSs will decrease the overall cost of care in asthma by improving disease control and decrease in emergency room visits and hospitalizations in intensive care units due to exacerbations.

Authors: Reslin T. K. Shifa , Viswanath U. V. Akshay , Maliekkal Joji I. , Joseph Abraham
Published: May 2024

Lymphomas are divided into Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). NHL arises usually from lymph nodes, but can rarely involve extranodal sites. Primary thyroid lymphomas are very rare, accounting for 2% of thyroid malignancies. Usually, primary thyroid malignancies manifest as a rapidly enlarging neck mass with pressure symptoms and cervical lymphadenopathy. Early diagnosis is crucial as it could alter the course of treatment and improve the prognosis. Here, we depict a rare case of NHL presenting as a thyroid mass; which appeared as frank pus intraoperatively.
A Prospective Study to Assess the Safety, Effectiveness and Outcome of Ultra-mini-Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Surgery in the Management of Renal Stone Disease
Authors: Salim Faby , Ramjith U. S. , Shanavas C.
Published: May 2024

Introduction:

Renal stone disease is a common urological emergency. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is considered the standard of care for large-volume stone disease. However, the morbidity associated with it has led the clinicians to consider the minimally invasive techniques such as mini-PCNL and ultra-mini-PCNL (UMP).

Aim:

This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of UMP based on renal parenchymal tissue injury and intraoperative bleeding. The outcome of UMP based on the requirement of post-operative stenting, complication rates, incidence of residual stones, requirement of additional procedures on follow-up, duration of hospital stay and post-operative morbidity rate were also assessed.

Materials and Methods:

This was a prospective, hospital-based, observational study conducted in all patients who had renal stone disease with a relatively low stone volume, 5–25 mm stone size and who underwent UMP in the institution during 18 months. The data collected were statistically evaluated in terms of safety, outcome and effectiveness of UMP.

Results:

Of the 80 patients enrolled in this study, 62 (77.5%) were male and 18 (22.5%) were female. Complete stone clearance was achieved in 77 (95%) out of 80 patients using UMP, whereas the remaining 3 were converted into PCNL. The mean age of the patients was 49.73 ± 12.12 years. The average stone size was 11.57 ± 3.27 mm. The mean haemoglobin fall was only minimal 0.77 ± 0.71 g/dl. 96.3% of cases were stone free in the immediate post-operative period. The average pain score was 1.81 ± 0.92 on a Visual Analogue Scale of 10. The average hospital stay was 4.21 + 1.24 days.

Conclusion:

UMP is a technically safe, highly effective surgery for low-volume renal stone disease, with high stone clearance, lower complication rates and better patient compliance.

Authors: Priyadharshini D. , Arockia M. Scott , Jeyasekharan Sabu , Vidyasagar P. Bala , Nithila C.
Published: May 2024

Introduction:

Laparostomy is a surgical treatment method, in which the peritoneal cavity is entered and deliberately left un-sutured, hence often called ‘open abdomen’. The abdominal contents are exposed and protected with temporary coverage. It is mainly done to avoid abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS).

Aim:

This study aimed to identify the indications and analyse the outcome of laparostomy in patients with acute intra-abdominal sepsis and trauma.

Materials and Methods:

This prospective study was conducted on laparostomy cases over a period of 14 months. Data were analysed for the indication, clinical course and outcome. Results were expressed as frequency percentage, means, procedural morbidity and overall mortality.

Results:

A total of 17 laparostomies were performed during the study period. Massive intra-abdominal sepsis with ACS was the most common indication followed by gangrenous intestine requiring re-looks. Mortality observed was 17%. The common complications noted were spontaneous enterocutaneous fistula in 33% of patients. Seventeen per cent of patients underwent redo surgeries. Primary closure was possible only in 11 patients.

Conclusion:

Laparostomy is a valuable emergency damage control measure in desperate situations of severe abdominal sepsis or trauma where it can prevent ACS which is life-threatening, despite its association with high morbidity and, consequently, long hospital stay.

Effect of Ethanol and Iso-Octane Blends on Isolated Low-Temperature
Heat Release in a Spark Ignition Engine
Authors: White Samuel Philip , Bajwa Abdullah Umair , Leach Felix
Published: May 2024

Low-temperature heat release (LTHR) is of interest for its potential to help
control autoignition in advanced compression ignition (ACI) engines and mitigate
knock in spark ignition (SI) engines. Previous studies have identified and
investigated LTHR in both ACI and SI engines before the main high-temperature
heat release (HTHR) event and, more recently, LTHR in isolation has been
demonstrated in SI engines by appropriately curating the in-cylinder thermal
state during compression and disabling the spark discharge. Ethanol is an
increasingly common component of market fuel blends, owing to its renewable
sources. In this work, the effect of adding ethanol to iso-octane
(2,2,4-trimethylpentane) blends on their LTHR behavior is demonstrated. Tests
were run on a motored single-cylinder engine elevated inlet air temperatures and
pressures were adjusted to realize LTHR from blends of iso-octane and ethanol
without entering the HTHR regime. The blends were tested with inlet temperatures
of 40°C–140°C at equivalence ratios of 0.5, 0.67, and 1.0 with boosted (1.5
barA) conditions. The measured LTHR decreased with increasing ethanol content
for all conditions tested; iso-octane–ethanol blends with above 20% ethanol
content (by volume) showed minimal LTHR under engine conditions. These net
effects resulted from the combination of thermal effects (charge cooling) and
chemical effects (reactivity changes at low temperatures). The effect of
temperature, pressure, fuel composition, and equivalence ratio on ignition delay
times calculated from chemical kinetic modeling are presented alongside
pressure–temperature trajectories of the in-cylinder gases to explain the
trends. The underlying cause of the trends is explained by using a sensitivity
analysis to determine the contribution of each reaction within the chemical
kinetic mechanism to first-stage ignition, revealing the effect of introducing
ethanol on the OH radical pool and resulting LTHR intensity.

Aerospace Series - Notice of Change (NOC)
Authors:   G-14 Americas Aerospace Quality Standards Committee (AAQSC)
Published: May 2024

The aviation, space, and defense industries rely on the development and manufacture of complex products comprised of multiple systems, subsystems, and components each designed by individual designers (design activities) at various levels within the supply chain. Each design or manufacturing activity controls various aspects of the configuration and specifications related to the product. When a change to design or process is requested or required, the change is typically required to be evaluated against the impacts to the entire system.

Proposed changes to design data/information that the design activity identifies to be minor and have no effect on the product requirements or specifications, have the potential to be implemented and approved, where authorized to do so, but requires notification. Changes that affect customer mandated requirements or specifications shall be approved prior to implementation. In many cases, the design activity is not conducted by the DAH or design authority. The design activity may be several layers below the design approval. Irrespective of where the design activity is conducted in the supply chain, notification is required. The typical change notification flow is presented in Figure 1.

Submitting NOC data either electronically or conventionally on paper is subject to the terms and conditions of the customer’s contract. This also includes, where applicable, data access under the regulations of export control.

The process of exchanging, coordinating, and approving NOC data varies with the multiple relationships and agreements among all organizations concerned. An objective of this standard is to provide the definition of a data set that can be integrated into any form of communication (e.g., electronic data interchange, submission of conventional paper forms). A sample form can be found in the Supply Chain Management Handbook (SCMH).

If all or part of this standard is contractually invoked, design organizations and design holders (i.e., the organization responsible for the product end item design) that have responsibility for change management of products used on other higher-level designs shall use the information and processes defined in this standard for submitting change notifications.

Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study was to investigate the challenges faced by SMTs in dealing with poor academic performance in the Mopani-West District of Limpopo Province, South Africa. Studies have indicated that schools in rural areas fail to meet their full potential due to a combination of factors including insufficient instructional resources, shortage of qualified educators, insufficient infrastructure, and poverty and inequality. The study adopted a qualitative approach following an interpretative case study design. Using purposive sampling a total of 18 participants, comprising six principals, six departmental heads, and six learners who met the research criteria were selected. The study sample included one principal, one departmental head, and one learner from each of these six schools in the Mopani-West District. Three schools from the sample were identified as high-performing, while the other three were identified as underperforming. Data were elicited using semi-structured interviews, followed by thematic data analysis to unveil rich narratives and patterns within the research inquiries. The findings of the study revealed that resource scarcity in schools significantly hampered the quality of education. Issues such as insufficient teaching materials, a shortage of teachers, and the absence of technology create stark disparities between less and more privileged schools. The study also highlighted the impact of inadequate infrastructure on learning as one of the pressing concerns that compromise quality teaching and learning. Recommendations were made accordingly.

A Method Based on Artificial Intelligence That Predicts Arabica Coffee Yield by Analyzing Abiotic Factors and the Prevalence of Coffee Leaf Rust
Authors: C S Santhosh  , Umesh K K
Published: May 2024

Coffee is a perennial crop that harbors infections throughout the plant, which may worsen illness under favorable circumstances. Coffee leaf rust, a widespread coffee disease and Arabica is susceptible to leaf rust. Disease incidence and severity depend on abiotic variables. Cloudy and constant South-West monsoon weather (June–September) promotes coffee leaf rust growth. In this five-model study, an Extra Tree and Gradient Boosting regression model predicted coffee crop output in Chikamagaluru, Karnataka, with the least error utilizing biotic and abiotic factors. We investigated additional tree, gradient boosting, RF, Decision Tree, and KNN models using biotic and abiotic predictors. Used the independent testing dataset's MSE, MAE, RMSE Root mean square errors, and R-squared errors to compare model performance. The extra tree (R²=0.98 kg/ha ˉ¹ and RMSE = 7.96 kg/ha ˉ¹) and gradient boosting (R²=0.96 kg/ha ˉ¹ and RMSE = 10.96 kg/ha ˉ¹) regression models used Group 1 and 2 characteristics as predictor variables and different parameter fine tuning functions to estimate coffee yield most accurately. Compared to the less precise probabilistic models utilized in this work, such as Random Forest, decision tree, and KNN models, shown in the results section. The optimum weather parameter for coffee production forecasts and biotic-CLR incidence data outperformed random forest, decision tree, and K-Nearest Neighbor models.

Os processos fonológicos envolvidos na fala e os “erros” ortográficos na escrita: uma análise em turmas do 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental II
Authors: Lopes Valdene , Cagliari Luiz Carlos
Published: May 2024

This article was prepared from a study that sought to investigate the interdependence between the awareness of the letter-sound relationships and the development of spelling writing in students of the 6th year of Middle School. Two oral tests and two written tests were applied to 31 students, in four classes from four schools (two from the public network and two from the private education network), with the aim of verifying whether the participants were able to clearly perceive the relations between the sound and its respective graphic signal, and if this perception was amplified during the observed period of time. Up to three Portuguese Language (PL) classes were also observed in each institution, in order to note the approach that the teachers took on the teaching of spelling writing. It is believed that in order to teach how to use the standard writing of PL (in communication situations where spelling is required), linguistic knowledge is necessary, mainly in the areas of phonetics and phonology. Based on the analysis of the data obtained, a pedagogical notebook will be prepared to help PL teachers, with a brief theory and suggestions for activities, capable of helping students understand letter-sound relationships and the development of spelling.

Published: May 2024

Purpose: Nowadays, we use LED tube lights or batten instead of fluorescent tubes. It is energy efficient and has higher light intensity. But it runs shorter than our old tube runs. After one or two years, it becomes defective and replaced with new ones at a higher cost. It would be great if we could reuse it. Here, we describe how to reuse our LED batten once it becomes defective. Another exciting thing is that we can add more value to it. In our everyday life, sometimes our bedroom light needs to be operated from the bed. Here, we will also describe the procedure for how our LED batten can be operated from our sweet bed using a mobile phone WhatsApp application.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The system's heart is a NodeMCU built of an ESP module. To switch on the load power, we use a solenoid relay module. The ESP module is powered up using a 5V power adaptor. Using the provided credentials, it will try to communicate with the internet. Once connected, it will connect with the ThingESP server to inform us whether the device is live or connected. When we send a WhatsApp command, it reaches the ESP Module via Twilio and the ThingESP server. We need to create an account in Twilio and ThingESP to use them. The ESP module executes two actions. One is to trigger the connected load and send a response back to the user via that server to keep the user informed.
Findings/Result: The mobile phone has become an essential electronic gadget nowadays. Most of the time, we keep it with us. Now, we desire to control every electrical gadget that uses it. We can control anything from our pocket cell phone using the provided procedure. If the internet is healthy, the device offers good performance.
Originality/Value/ Novelty: The mobile is available in almost every house. We do several tasks using our mobile. There are several apps available to control home appliances using the mobile phone. Most of the applications run using Alexa. However, the main drawback is that occasionally, the voice cannot be detected in a single try. So, message-based appliance triggering is becoming famous. WhatsApp is a popular mobile application. The dream has come true. Here, we describe how to control any electronic home appliance using our favorite mobile application, WhatsApp. So, these contemporary works provide value to us.

Globally, as millions of individuals stopovered at home to curtail the spread of COVID 19, healthcare workers (HCWs) remained in field to save mankind from the deadly virus. They attended the hospitals as well as clinics, exposed themselves to risk of COVID 19. Despite multiple steps taken by global health agencies, about 704,301,493 individuals were infected and 7,006,979 died around the globe. A significant proportion of transmissions was reported from health care settings among the health care workforce and patients. About 20% of the health care workforce of Italy was infected and many died in that outbreak, along with significant ratio of disease transmission to thir families. Physical and mental health of HCWs were affected badly because of the nuisance of hard triage verdicts and expiry of patients and colleagues. The frequency of HCWs who have acquired COVID 19 was high among the endemic countries. The key causative factors for the healthcare-associated COVID 19 spreads included lack of personal protective equipment availability, improper use of PPEs, lack of training of HCWs, overcrowding in hospitals and lack of proper acquiescence to and acceptance of the significance of fulfilling infection prevention and control (IPC) strategies. This credence was reinforced by globally renowned agencies i.e., WHO and the CDC. The agencies facilitated and implemented adopting IPC measures

Internet of Things devices have become increasingly prevalent in various domains, including smart homes, healthcare, transportation, and industrial automation. As the number of IoT devices continues to grow, so does the potential for security challenges. Routing protocols play a critical role in IoT networks by determining the path for packet transmission. However, their susceptibility to modification and manipulation attacks can have far-reaching consequences. These attacks can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, disruption of critical services, and even physical harm in certain applications such as healthcare and industrial automation. This paper presents the design and implementation of a security-enhanced routing module aimed at protecting Internet of Things networks from modification and manipulation attacks, particularly focusing on the challenges within the IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks. Acknowledging the increasing pervasiveness of IoT devices and their susceptibility to routing disruptions, this work contributes a novel approach to augment RPL's Lamport’s Keyed Hash Chain scheme security posture without impinging on the protocol's inherent resource-efficiency. Through a comprehensive simulation-based system verification process, the module demonstrates its effectiveness in mitigating common routing attacks, its adaptability in dynamic network conditions, and its fidelity to established RPL performance metrics
