Authors: Madhusoodanan L Swathy , Thulasingam Mahalakshmy , Rajaa Sathish , Meenu Sai , Bhattacharya Debajyoti , Arikrishnan Kalaiselvy , Kar Sitanshu Sekhar
Published: February 2025

Background:

Access to antenatal care (ANC) services has improved. However, it is also noted that some antenatal women seek multiple healthcare services. Exploring this practice will identify gaps in service provision and pave the path toward improving the quality of services.

Objective:

This study aimed to measure the concurrent use of public and private healthcare services for various components of ANC and understand the reasons for the dual utilization.

Methodology:

This explanatory mixed-method study enrolled 177 mothers residing in Puducherry, who had given birth in the last three years. A pretested, semi-structured questionnaire was administered, and six key informant interviews were conducted. Integration was performed in the interpretation stage, and a joint display was used to depict the results. We adopted the Donabedian model during the analysis and organized the codes under these major themes[1] Access;[2] Delivery of the Services;[3] and Quality of Care.

Result:

Most pregnant women (81.9%, 95% CI = 75.2%–86.8%) sought care from both public and private healthcare facilities, however, they preferred public facilities for delivery (74.6%, 95% CI = 67.6%–80.4%). The qualitative analysis revealed three major themes[1] Access;[2] Delivery of the Services;[3] and Quality of Care. Primary reasons for opting for private facilities included perceived superior ANC quality, organized care evident in scheduled appointments, reduced waiting time, frequent ultrasounds, personalized medication, and enhanced rapport with family. Women also believed that visits to government facilities are essential to avail the monetary benefits and have a seamless admission during delivery. They felt that government hospitals perform fewer cesarean sections.

Conclusion:

Strengthening public-private partnerships could enhance antenatal care utilization, benefiting pregnant women and streamlining healthcare delivery.

Published: February 2025

Background:

Multiple dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4is) are available in India. The class of DPP4i presents as a heterogeneous group with differences among the molecules. Thus, there is a need to evaluate the choice of DPP4i and its combinations among Indian clinicians. This survey aims to assess the choice of DPP4i and its combinations among Indian clinicians in the management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methodology:

This was a cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey of clinicians in India conducted between December 2022 and March 2023. Data were analyzed and expressed using descriptive statistics.

Results:

Among the 1033 clinicians in the survey, the majority (71.73%) were in the age group of 31–50 years, 66.6% had a postgraduate degree in medicine, and 74.93% had a private consulting practice. Almost half of the participants opined that the response of DPP4i is similar in T2DM patients irrespective of age (47.24%) and body mass index (46.95%). Among the various DPP4i available in India, sitagliptin was opined to provide greater glycated hemoglobin reduction (72.80%), faster reduction in blood glucose (71.25%), and greater improvement in glycemic variability (73.28%) by the majority of the clinicians. Most clinicians opined sitagliptin as the preferred DPP4i in T2DM patients irrespective of age and in various comorbidities. Around 65.25% of clinicians opined that sitagliptin was associated with fewer adverse events in patients with T2DM. In terms of combination therapy, the majority of the clinicians opined sitagliptin/dapagliflozin was most preferred in T2DM patients (81.51%: In T2DM with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, 79.28%: In T2DM with heart failure, 53.63%: In T2DM with chronic kidney disease) among the various DPP4i/sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) available in India.

Conclusions:

The survey conducted among over 1000 clinicians across India is suggestive of sitagliptin and sitagliptin/dapagliflozin being the preferred DPP4i and DPP4i/SGLT2i, respectively, among Indian clinicians for the management of a wide range of patients with T2DM.

Published: February 2025

Background:

The monitoring of glucose plays an inevitable role in diabetes management. Over the years, technological leaps in diabetes management have contributed immensely to improving the quality of life of people with diabetes. Along with the multitude of benefits, these technologies provide, particularly glucose meters, the chances of compromises in the accuracy and precision of these devices also exist due to high competition among the manufacturers. Hence, it is essential, that both people with diabetes and healthcare professionals be aware of the accuracy and precision of glucose meters and whether they meet the accuracy standards recommended by international organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization and the Food and Drug Administration to avoid severe consequences.

Aim:

The study aims to evaluate and compare the accuracy, performance, and precision of five glucosemeters On Call Plus, Cool, One Touch, Contour Plus, and Accu-chek Instant in people without diabetes, with type1 diabetes, and with type 2 diabetes.

Result:

The results revealed that all the glucose meters chosen for the study showed reasonably satisfactory clinical accuracy and precision in people without and with type 2 diabetes. However, in the cohort with type 1 diabetes, the performance of the meters was only moderately satisfactory.

Conclusion:

The study brings into the limelight the importance of evaluating the accuracy and precision of glucose monitoring devices, irrespective of blindly believing the technology.

Authors: Chaudhury Suprakash , Walia Tejvir Singh , Sood Sunaina , Murthy P. S. , Saldanha Daniel , Ali Tahoora
Published: February 2025

Background:

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a highly prevalent disorder with a large treatment gap. Treatment of AUD is a challenging task for mental health practitioners, as there is no decisive marker for recovery, and abstinence rates are equivocal with and without treatment. A paucity of Indian studies determining the prognosis of AUD in armed forces led to the initiation of this study.

Aim:

To study the outcome of alcohol-dependence patients two years after treatment in uniformed forces.

Materials and Methods:

The study included 100 consecutive male inpatients with alcohol dependence admitted to the psychiatry ward of two hospitals for uniformed forces personnel. Relevant investigations were requisitioned for them, and records were maintained to facilitate easy follow-up at 6-month intervals over 2 years.

Results:

The majority of patients had begun consumption voluntarily to seek pleasure. The average daily intake was 71.36 g of alcohol. Most of them consumed alone. Ninety-three percent showed features of withdrawal after admission. The most common physical comorbidities were injuries and gastrointestinal disorders, while the most common psychiatric comorbid disorders were substance use disorders and depression. Upon follow-up, 42% maintained abstinence, which was either partial or absolute, 5% were rendered unfit to serve further, 42 were lost to follow-up, and 17% had eventually retired.

Conclusion:

Contrary to prevailing belief, the results of the present study indicate that 42% of patients with AUD improved with treatment.

Authors: Chaudhari Bhushan , Ali Tahoora , Nair Vidisha , Kelkar Parisha , Chaudhury Suprakash , Janiani Ankit
Published: February 2025

Background:

The COVID-19 pandemic presented an unprecedented and dystopian situation for the entire population and had imminent mental health corollaries specific to different sociodemographic variables. Distress and fear related to COVID-19 and following reassurance-seeking behavior were prominent during the pandemic. However, even after the end of the acute phase, due to continued uncertainty about protection from COVID-19, psychological concerns surrounding COVID-19 persisted.

Aim:

To evaluate coronavirus-related psychological distress, fear, reassurance seeking, and their correlation with personality factors.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 727 individuals were taken from the community from May 2022 to October 2022 and were requested to fill out a Google Form online comprising basic sociodemographic details and the following scales: COVID-19-related psychological distress in healthy public (CORPD), Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S), Coronavirus Reassurance-Seeking Behavior Scale, and Big Five Personality Inventory. The information was then charted, tabulated, and statistically analyzed.

Results:

The levels of COVID-19-related psychological distress and fear were comparable to the levels present during a pandemic. Psychological distress, fear, and reassurance-seeking were positively correlated with each other. Females were vulnerable to fear. Younger age was associated with reassurance seeking. Extraversion personality traits positively predicted fear about COVID-19, while conscientiousness and openness negatively predicted fear. Agreeableness positively predicted reassurance-seeking behavior.

Conclusion:

Even after the declaration of the end of the COVID-19 pandemic and the return to the regular daily routine, people have COVID-19-related distress and fear in their minds. This indicates the need for continuation of mental health programs addressing these psychological issues related to COVID-19.

Authors: Kumar Reuben Praharsh , Verghese Wincy , Hegde Divya , Rasquinha Smitha Lamiya , Rao Rahul M. , Kumar Ajay
Published: February 2025

Background:

Workplace violence (WPV) among healthcare workers (HCWs) poses a significant burden globally. Various studies have estimated the prevalence and characteristics of WPV, but few have assessed the impact in terms of the mental health of HCWs in the aftermath.

Aim:

To study the prevalence of WPV and its psychological impact on HCWs. In addition, we aimed to suggest strategies that can be implemented to prevent the overpowering burden of WPV.

Materials and Methods:

We used a standardized questionnaire developed by the International Labor Office to assess WPV, General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) to assess psychological distress, and a self-reported sleep quality scoring.

Results:

The study included 268 participants among which 43.7% reported having experienced WPV in the last 12 months, with 42.5% reporting verbal violence and 3.4% reporting physical violence incidents. Working in emergency services showed a significant association with experiencing verbal violence. There is also an underreporting of incidents of WPV. Among the psychological parameters, distress is significantly higher for both verbal and physical violence, and participants who faced physical violence had significantly lower sleep quality. Prevention strategies including adequate patient counseling, better communication, improved security, and stricter laws can be implemented to reduce violence.

Conclusion:

WPV in healthcare is very common in India with not only high prevalence rates but also a significant psychological burden. There is a need to develop better laws and implement policies to ensure a safe and healthy workplace for HCWs.
Type 6B Choledochal Cyst Unveiled: A Rare Entity in Pediatric Surgery – A Case Report and Review
Authors: Kumar Naveen M. , Sen Arani A. S. , Raju Bhaskar R. , Jacob Tarun J. K.
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

Choledochal cyst(CDC) originating from the cystic duct (Type VI A) is uncommon. Dilatation of both the common bile duct (CBD) and cystic duct (Type VI B) is exceptionally rare in children, with only a handful of adult cases documented in medical literature to date. We report a case of a 1-year-old child who was diagnosed with a Type VI B CDC involving dilation of both the cystic and CBDs, confirmed by imaging and histopathology following cholecystectomy, cyst excision, and hepaticoduodenostomy. While recent medical literature has begun to explore Type VI CDCs, documented cases, particularly in pediatric patients, remain extremely scarce. This case report contributes to the emerging understanding of Type VI B CDCs, providing valuable insights into their clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and surgical management outcomes.
Aseptic Meningitis Following Spinal Anesthesia: A Diagnostic Dilemma
Authors: Kumari Meena , Singh Abhilasha , Jain Yashika
Published: February 2025

Neuraxial anesthesia techniques are well-established in the perioperative management of patients undergoing obstetric and gynecological procedures. Meningitis following spinal anesthesia is a rare but fatal complication. Post-spinal anesthesia meningitis has been classified into septic and aseptic meningitis with overlapping clinical signs and symptoms requiring immediate identification in the postoperative period for appropriate treatment. We describe a case of aseptic meningitis following spinal anesthesia in a patient in their 30s posted for an emergency cesarean section. Early identification of the cause is of utmost importance as the aseptic etiology resolves spontaneously, but bacterial meningitis has a high instance of neurological sequelae and can be life-threatening. A high index of clinical suspicion and prompt measures to diagnose and treat are key to reducing the chances of lifelong sequelae.
Effect on Neonatal Acid–Base Status of Phenylephrine and Norepinephrine Boluses for Management of Spinal Anesthesia-Induced Hypotension in Patients with Preeclampsia Undergoing Cesarean Delivery: A Randomized, Double-Blinded Trial
Authors: Sen Trina , Saha Prerona , Kalita Pranab , Saikia Priyam , Mahanta Bandana
Published: February 2025

Purpose:

Phenylephrine (PE) is the vasopressor of choice for spinal induced hypotension. In recent studies, norepinephrine (NE) has been used to manage hypotension following spinal anesthesia. However, its effect on neonatal acid–base status in preeclamptic mothers has not been well established. The aim of this study is to compare the neonatal acid–base outcomes of bolus doses of PE versus NE for the prevention of spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension in nonlaboring preeclamptic patients undergoing cesarean section.

Methods:

A randomized, double-blind study was conducted on 50 nonlaboring patients diagnosed with preeclampsia posted for cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. Patients were randomized to receive bolus doses of either PE or NE following hypotension. Neonatal umbilical artery blood gas analysis and maternal hemodynamics were compared. All the statistical tests were two sided and performed at a significance level of 0.05.

Results:

The study did not reveal any difference in the primary outcome of umbilical artery pH when using PE or NE in patients with preeclampsia (P 0.90). The secondary outcomes were also comparable.

Conclusion:

Our study shows that PE and NE are comparable in terms of fetal umbilical artery blood pH in nonlaboring preeclamptic patients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.
Navigating the Future of Intelligent Transportation: Challenges and Solutions in 6G V2X and V2V Networks
Authors: Mande Spandana , Ramachandran Nandhakumar , Begum Shaik Salma Asiya
Published: February 2025

Recent advancements in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have transformed vehicular communication, facilitating Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) connectivity. These technologies enhance travel safety and efficiency while also reducing pollution and accident rates through optimised resource utilisation. V2X applications encounter significant challenges concerning traffic safety, data security, and scalability, necessitating thorough evaluation prior to extensive implementation. The rising prevalence of connected vehicles presents challenges, including network instability, heterogeneity, and extensive data management, which require novel solutions for effective communication. This study gives a new view on how to combine 6G technologies with V2X and V2V communication systems. It addresses important issues like security, resource allocation, and making sure that communication is very reliable and has low latency. Our study is different from others because it looks at all the technologies that make this possible, including Proportional Fairness Algorithms, machine learning, blockchain, and Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS). We emphasise the significance of collective perception (CP) in improving traffic safety and resource efficiency through the sharing of sensor data among V2X-enabled entities, including vehicles, roadside units (RSUs), and vulnerable road users.This research provides a thorough analysis of advanced methodologies and their limitations, making it a valuable resource for scholars, academics, and industry professionals. It offers a framework for developing future intelligent transportation systems that utilise 6G capabilities to achieve high reliability, minimal latency, and optimal spectrum efficiency in vehicular networks.
The imprimitivity Fell bundle
Authors: Duwenig Anna
Published: February 2025

Given a full right-Hilbert

$\mathrm {C}^{*}$

-module

$\mathbf {X}$

over a

$\mathrm {C}^{*}$

-algebra A, the set

$\mathbb {K}_{A}(\mathbf {X})$

of A-compact operators on

$\mathbf {X}$

is the (up to isomorphism) unique

$\mathrm {C}^{*}$

-algebra that is strongly Morita equivalent to the coefficient algebra A via

$\mathbf {X}$

. As a bimodule,

$\mathbb {K}_{A}(\mathbf {X})$

can also be thought of as the balanced tensor product

$\mathbf {X}\otimes _{A} \mathbf {X}^{\mathrm {op}}$

, and so the latter naturally becomes a

$\mathrm {C}^{*}$

-algebra. We generalize both of these facts to the world of Fell bundles over groupoids: Suppose

$\mathscr {B}$

is a Fell bundle over a groupoid

$\mathcal {H}$

and

$\mathscr {M}$

is an upper semi-continuous Banach bundle over a principal

$\mathcal {H}$

-space X. If

$\mathscr {M}$

carries a right-action of

$\mathscr {B}$

and a sufficiently nice

$\mathscr {B}$

-valued inner product, then its imprimitivity Fell bundle

$\mathbb {K}_{\mathscr {B}}(\mathscr {M})=\mathscr {M}\otimes _{\mathscr {B}} \mathscr {M}^{\mathrm {op}}$

is a Fell bundle over the imprimitivity groupoid of X, and it is the unique Fell bundle that is equivalent to

$\mathscr {B}$

via

$\mathscr {M}$

. We show that

$\mathbb {K}_{\mathscr {B}}(\mathscr {M})$

generalizes the “higher order” compact operators of Abadie–Ferraro in the case of saturated bundles over groups, and that the theorem recovers results such as Kumjian’s Stabilization trick.
Vibration Suppression of a Flexible Appendage and Pitch Angle Fuzzy
Regulation of a Spacecraft
Authors: Bahita Mohamed
Published: February 2025

In this work, the large-angle rotational movement and vibration suppression of a
flexible spacecraft are carried out based on an adjustable system. First the
spacecraft model is transformed into a canonical affine control form, then two
fuzzy systems are used: The first (of Takagi–Sugeno type) estimates the feedback
linearization control law as a whole, while the second (of Mamdani type) adjusts
and stabilizes the control parameters using the gradient descent technique and
based on the minimization of the control error rather than the tracking error.
Stability results are presented in terms of Lyapunov’s theory, and simulation
tests illustrate the significant transient robustness of the closed-loop system
against perturbations, the accurate trajectory control, and vibration
suppression of the flexible spacecraft. Consequently, as will be shown later,
the error will stay confined and converges quickly to zero, confirming the
smoothing property of the proposed method using fuzzy logic systems.
La descentralización de la gestión educativa y la responsabilidad social del gobierno local
Authors: Arévalo Zeta Armando
Published: February 2025

Este estudio analiza la distribución de responsabilidades entre el Ministerio de Educación (a través de la UGEL) y el gobierno local (Municipalidad Provincial) para mejorar la calidad educativa, en el marco de las leyes Nº 28044 y Nº 27972. Centrado en la provincia de Sechura (Piura), se examinan los resultados de evaluaciones censales estudiantiles y la implementación de la descentralización educativa. Se identifica un cumplimiento normativo y técnico-administrativo, pero con limitaciones en la gestión efectiva de planes, lo que debilita al Consejo de Participación Local de Educación (COPALE) y afecta la calidad educativa. La descentralización muestra un debilitamiento organizacional y una responsabilidad social restringida, lo que repercute negativamente en los aprendizajes y resultados educativos, evidenciando un decrecimiento progresivo en el rendimiento estudiantil a lo largo de su escolaridad.

La guayaba (Psidium guajava L.) es una fruta tropical rica en vitamina C, minerales, fibra dietética y compuestos antioxidantes; sin embargo, las pérdidas postcosecha asociadas a esta fruta se estiman alrededor del 20 al 55 % a nivel mundial. La radiación gamma es una tecnología emergente con gran potencial para optimizar parámetros postcosecha en productos frescos. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar tratamientos de radiación gamma en guayaba como tecnología de conservación postcosecha. Se aplicaron niveles de radiación gamma de 100, 200 y 300 Gy y un tratamiento control sin irradiación, en un periodo de tiempo de 0, 5 y 10 días para analizar parámetros como firmeza, pérdida de peso, contenido de sólidos solubles, humedad y color. Las dosis de 200 y 300 Gy conservaron mejor la calidad de las frutas irradiadas, en cuanto a firmeza, peso, sólidos solubles totales (°Bx), contenido de humedad y color, superando al control. Concluyendo que niveles de radiación de 200 Gy conservan los atributos postcosecha mencionados, promueve la luminosidad de la fruta y extiende la vida útil. Afirmando que la radiación gamma contribuye a la optimización de la calidad de productos frescos manteniendo sus características por más tiempo.
Morfologia do sistema reprodutor masculino e dos espermatozoides de três espécies de mosquitos (Diptera: Culicidae)
Authors:   , Silva Henrique Barbosa da
Published: February 2025

Várias espécies de mosquitos (Diptera: Culicidae) são vetores de patógenos que causam doenças em humanos. Devido à sua importância médica, essas espécies se tornam alvo de pesquisas, incluindo estudos sobre reprodução. Embora alguns pesquisadores já tenham conduzido investigações, ainda existem lacunas sobre a morfologia do sistema reprodutor masculino (SRM) e dos espermatozoides para a maioria das espécies de mosquitos. Este estudo apresenta uma análise sobre a morfologia tecidual do SRM e dos espermatozoides de Anopheles darlingi (Anophelinae), Aedes aegypti e Lutzia bigoti (Culicinae). O SRM de Ae. aegypti e L. bigoti consistiu em um par de testículos unifoliculares e compactamente espiralizados, ductos deferentes, vesículas seminais, um ducto ejaculatório e um par de glândulas acessórias. Sugere-se que o arranjo espiralado dos testículos os torna maiores e alongados, ocupando menos espaço e reduzindo a superfície de contato. Possivelmente essa estratégia está relacionada ao grande volume de gametas produzidos por essas espécies. Os espermatozoides possuem o formato filiforme e mediram, em média, 335 µm e 219 µm em comprimento, respectivamente. A ultraestrutura dessas células de Ae. aegypti revelou uma organização atípica do axonema, com um arranjo de microtúbulos do tipo 9 + 9+ ‘1’ (nove microtúbulos externos, nove duplas periféricas e um elemento central). O SRM de An. darlingi caracterizou-se por um par de testículos unifoliculares não espiralizados com espermatogênese radial, ductos deferentes, um ducto ejaculatório muscular e um par de glândulas acessórias. O comprimento dos espermatozoides variou de 92 a 246 µm. Observa-se que o SRM de mosquitos representando a subfamília Culicinae é similar entre as espécies, mas diferenciando-se de An. darlingi, representante da subfamília Anophelinae. Propõe-se que essas diferenças sejam marcas de cada subfamília. Por fim, sugere-se que a variação intraespecífica do comprimento dos espermatozoides de An. darlingi esteja relacionada ao comportamento monândrico das fêmeas.

HANDWRITTEN OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION:IMPLEMENTATION FOR KAZAKH LANGUAGE
Authors: Kalken Mukhtar
Published: February 2025

Many documents, including as invoices, taxes, memoranda, and surveys, historical data, and test replies, still require handwriting with the transformation to digital information interchange. Handwritten text recognition (HTR), which is an automatic approach to decode records using a computer, is required in this aspect. For this proposal, I present a study of the implementation of optical recognition algorithms for handwritten text in the Kazakh language, using a recently collected database. The database, called the Kazakh Autonomous Handwritten Text Dataset (KOHTD), contains more than 140,335 segmented images of handwritten exam papers. As an algorithm, I used the proposed model by Harald Scheidl, which consists of several layers of neural networks and an CTC decoder. The trained model by putting an interval of lr = 0.01 and a batch size of 60 showed effective results with indicators of about 85% accuracy.
