Authors: Every James , Wiseman Jeremy , Ngo Quan , Kernohan Michael , Ahn Chris
Published: November 2024

Introduction: The superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap is a well-established alternative to traditional fasciocutaneous flaps for reconstructive purposes. It is gaining popularity due to short raise time, flap size, ability to provide concurrent raise and donor site concealment. Here we report our initial experience using the superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap to reconstruct a variety of defects in the head and neck region. Methods: Eleven patients underwent superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap reconstruction for head and neck defects by a single surgeon. Operative details, complications and intermediate outcomes were collected. We reviewed and summarised current published reports on the use of the superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap in the head and neck for comparison. Results: At our institution, 11 patients received 12 superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flaps to reconstruct defects in the head and neck. There were 10 males and one female with a mean age of 60 years, and oncologic resection or complications thereof was the indication for all patients. Defects included five total laryngectomies, four cutaneous defects and two oral cavity reconstructions. The mean flap raise time was 58 minutes and the mean flap size was 92 cm2. Four patients returned to theatre, two for microvascular compromise (one arterial, one venous) and two for salvage operations performed for salivary leak after reconstruction of laryngectomy. Conclusion: Our initial experience with the superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap has demonstrated it as a viable and robust free flap for complex head and neck reconstruction.

Authors: R. Al-Salmi Mouza , K Nadaf Saleem
Published: November 2024

Vegetables have potential significance in terms of their use not only for their food and nutrition but also for affordable sources of essential vitamins and minerals globally. Cabbage (Brassica oleracea) is an economically important vegetable crop with the potential to increase the incomes of the farmers not only in open fields but also in greenhouses in Oman as Cabbage is more popular among customers throughout Arabian Peninsula countries and valuable with moderate retail prices than other vegetables. Hence, a survey was undertaken to investigate the technical efficiency of cabbage-growing farms in the Sultanate of Oman. The research estimated and examined the technical efficiency of okra-growing farms of different governorates of Oman. A sample of 89 cabbage-growing farms was selected, adapting the multistage sampling method. The interview schedules were followed for data collection in 2016 and 2017. The maximum likelihood method was used, and the Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier production model was applied to the data collected. After performing various econometrics of software, the output of the Frontier 4.1 was found to be a good fit. The results of the investigation indicated that the mean technical efficiency for cabbage farms in Oman is estimated to be 85%, with a wide range from as low as 63% to as high as 100%. There exists a considerable possibility of increasing cabbage output by 15% with the current level of inputs employed by cabbage farmers. Cabbagegrowing farms had enormous scope to improve their efficiency and increase productivity by following regular extension programs involving farmers in cultivating Cabbage.

Authors: Erdoğan Gamze , Kaya Seval , Peker Nurullah , İbiloğlu İbrahim , Deveci Engin
Published: November 2024

Background: We aimed to immunohistochemically examine the expression level of Placental growth factor (PLGF) and Soluble FMS-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) proteins in normotensive, Placenta accreta (PA) and Placenta previa (PP).
Materials and Methods: Three groups were created for the study: 20 Nomotensive placentas, 20 PP and 20 PA from women diagnosed with placenta samples. 4-6 μm thick sections were taken from the placentas, PLGF and sFlt-1 immunostaining were applied to the obtained sections, and their expression intensities and localizations in the tissues were determined.
Results: As a result of our observations, normotensive placenta group; sFlt-1 expression was observed in hofbauer cells and syncytial nodes and PLGF positive expression was observed in nuclei of muscle cells in some tunica media region. PP and PA group; sFlt-1 expression was positive in decidua cells, hofbauer cells and dilated vascular endothelium. PP and PA group; negative PLGF expression was observed in syncytial nodes and positive PLGF expression was observed in hofbauer cells and endothelial cells. There was a significant difference between normotensive, PP and PA groups (p<0.05).
Conclusions: It can be thought that sFlt-1 and PLGF may be important signal stimulators and markers in the trophoblastic degeneration, apoptotic cells, increase in angiogenesis and imbalance in implanta-tion seen in cases of PP and PA.
No Experience Required: Inclusive Undergraduate Research in Computational Biophysical Chemistry
Authors: Theisen Kelly E.
Published: November 2024

Undergraduate research is a key tool for recruitment and, more importantly, retention of science, technology, engineering, and math students. Unfortunately, many students are not aware of or do not take advantage of these opportunities and, at best, often wait until late in their college careers. For my undergraduate computational biophysical chemistry research lab I have established a no-experience-required policy that allows me to recruit and mentor more research students. It also allows me to be more inclusive and expand the pool of students who have access to research. This also results in a more diverse research group, which is particularly important at a primarily undergraduate institution that has a diverse population with a high percentage of first-generation students. Here, I lay out the procedures I use to recruit and train students of all levels for my research lab, as well as the research products produced by students and myself.

Quantitative Characterization of Compressed Air Systems
Authors: Wolf Christian , Baur Lukas , Harman Anna , Sauer Alexander
Published: November 2024

In industrial production plants, leaks in the compressed air system (CAS) lead to significant energy losses. In view of rising global energy costs, increasing the efficiency of such systems represents considerable costcutting potential. When analyzing CASs, it is often not possible to quantify the basic consumption and leakages from the available data.
For companies seeking to evaluate potential savings and enhance energy efficiency, it is crucial to quantitatively assess the efficiency of CASs in terms of leakage rate. Determining the quality is typically done at a pressure of 1 bar, which is insufficient due to the volume influence of different compressor-units used in production plants.
This work focuses on the algorithmic identification of pressure drop intervals as well as the determination and graphical representation of a quantitative trend visualization for industrial pressure drop intervals over a broad pressure range. For the study, the pressures time series of four production sites were recorded within one year. Shutdown periods were identified from the raw data using four machine-learning (ML) clustering and classification methods. By segmenting the pressure drop intervals, the shutdown periods were parameterized, from which quantitative trend visualization for the pressure drop periods due to compressor shutdown could be calculated and interpreted in the context of a graphical representation. The classification methods were compared as part of this work. With an F1-score of up to 0.99 being reached, only the variance differed among the algorithms. From the temporal observation of the calculated trend visualizations, rapidly falling curves suggest an increasing system leakage.

Published: November 2024

In the field of aeronautical engineering, understanding and simulating aircraft engine performance is critical, especially for improving operational safety, efficiency, and sustainability. At Safran Aircraft Engines, we were able to demonstrate the effectiveness of using time series collected from the engines after each flight to build a digital twin that provides a dynamic virtual model able to mirror the real engine’s state by using a transformer-based conditional generative adversarial network. This virtual representation allows for advanced simulations under diverse operational scenarios like flight conditions and controls, aiding in understanding the impact of different factors on engine health. It is, therefore, possible for us to provide virtual flights performed by our engines in their actual state of wear. This research paper presents a machine learning model that effectively simulates and monitors the state of aircraft engines in real-time, enabling us to track the evolution of the engines’ health over their life cycle. The model’s adaptability to incorporate new data ensures its applicability throughout the engine’s lifespan, marking a step forward in proactive aeronautic maintenance and potentially enhancing engine longevity through timely diagnostics and interventions.

In self-driving vehicles linked with mobility electrification, system failures that occur suddenly in situations where customers are unaware of signs of failure are directly related to customer injuries. Securing the durability and safety of closure automation system is necessary to increase the customer's safety value so PHM technology makes it possible to predict failures and remaining life in advance during system operation. In addition, since not only various forms of new concept design styling but also innovative new handle designs are applied, it is obviously seen that e-Latch system is widely equipped in the mobility. Thus, in this paper, the study to predict the failure of e-Latch and closure system is implemented via data-driven and physics-driven method, and the algorithm for PHM to estimate remaining life of e-Latch system is also introduced.

Published: November 2024

Edward's syndrome or Trisomy 18 is the second most common autosomal trisomy after Down's syndrome (trisomy 21). Prevalence 0f trisomy 18 in
live births is around 1 in 6000-8000, however overall prevalence is more 1:2500 to 1:2600 due to high frequency of fetal losses and termination of
pregnancy after antenatal diagnosis. The syndrome is characterised by Dysmorphic facies (prominent occiput. Low set ears, Micrognathia),
overriding of ngers, rocker bottom foot and multisystemic multiple congenital anomalies. Edward syndrome can be diagnosed antenatally by
screening tests like ultrasonography and Non-invasive prenatal testing. Postnatally karyotyping can be sent in suspected Trisomy 18. Following
cases were diagnosed postnatally with the help of clinical features and karyotyping. Both the cases discussed below were born with cardiovascular
defects and talipes equinovarus and other associated anomalies and both of them succumbed to respiratory distress within 1st week of life. Babies
born with Edward have very poor prognosis, 50% of babies born with Edward syndrome die within First week of life and 90-95% do not survive
beyond the 1st year of life. These case reports reect the pressing need for the through active foetal surveillance antenatally for recognition of
defects in early stage as no treatment option is yet available for this complex syndrome.

during the study period of 18 months i.e. from August 2022 to January 2024.Detailed history taking and examination was done. Intraoperative
ndings were noted. Results- Most common nding in external auditory canal was purulent discharge in 37.8% cases in right ear and 23.2% cases
in left ear. Tuning fork tests were deranged in majority of cases. Weber's was lateralized to right in 51.2% cases and to left in 43.9% cases. Surgical
ndings revealed presence of cholesteatoma, involvement of mastoid and ossicular erosion in 100% cases. Widening of aditus, involvement of
Prussak space, Erosion of scutum, dural plate, lateral semicircular canal and sinus plate was noted in 89%, 76.8%, 47.6%, 30.5%, 28% and 24.4%
cases respectively. High jugular bulb was noted in 19.5% cases and intracranial complications were reported in 2.4% cases. Conclusions- Patients
with unsafe COM usually present with cholesteatoma and ossicular necrosis. Involvement of mastoid and widening of aditus are not uncommon.
The clinicopathological ndings may vary depending upon the extent of disease and bone involvement. Few cases with delay in presentation may
have associated intracranial complications.

Background: Uterine rupture is a severe obstetric complication traditionally associated with a history of cesarean section or other factors causing
uterine scarring. However, instances of atypical uterine rupture in patients have been reported.This case report presents an atypical example of uterine
rupture in a patient with no known risk factors, emphasizing the need for high suspicion of uterine rupture even in the absence of risk factors. Case
presentation: The case discusses a gravida 3, para 2 female with no significant history, except for treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. No
history of cesarean section or uterine scarring.They were presented with light vaginal bleeding and later diagnosed with amiscarriage at 20+1 weeks of
gestation. Managed with misoprostol per trust guidelines, the patient developed severe pain, signs of sepsis, and shock. An ultrasound revealed a
heterogeneous mass in the lower uterine segment and free fluid in the pelvis.ACT scan confirmed a ruptured uterus with the fetus and placenta lying
anteriorly and hemoperitoneum present. A laparotomy was performed under general anesthesia and the uterus was repaired. Post-operatively, the
patient developed ileus and a pulmonary embolism,whichwere treated,leading to a gradualrecovery.Conclusion:This atypical case of uterine rupture
highlights the need to maintain a high level of suspicion for uterine rupture, even in the absence of traditional risk factors. It also underscores the
importance of careful patient management during labor induction with misoprostol, especially when complications arise. This case reminds clinicians
to consider all possible diagnoses when a patient's condition deteriorates, even in the absence of conventional risk factors. More research is needed on

ESTIMATION OF RELATIVISTIC BLOOD PRESSURE IN HUMAN PHYSIOLOGICAL SYSTEM
Authors: Baidya Omkar Prasad
Published: November 2024

In this paper, it has been shown that how blood pressure can be affected by Einsteins theory of relativity. We already know that relativity has
immense application staring from space science to theoretical physics and quantum mechanics, but its effect has not been studied in biological
setup or in human physiological system. In this mathematical physiology paper, it has been shown that how blood pressure can undergo changes in
the moving frame of references and with the help of theory of relativity a mathematical expression for relativistic blood pressure has been designed
which can easily measure or reect the relativistic blood pressure in human physiological system which is mainly affected by the velocity of blood
(VB) and velocity of the car (Vc) where the subject is sitting. This paper can open up new horizon and can emphasize on the matter that even in
physiological sciences, relativity theory can play important role in measurement of relativistic blood pressure under the platform of cardiovascular
physiology and haemodynamic.

Introduction: Hematological cancers account for 9% of all cancers and their progression and treatment directly affect quality of life (QoL).
Objective: This study assessed QoL and associated factors in patients with hematological cancer according to the EORTC QLQ-C30.
Methods: Cross-sectional study carried out from August 2017 to June 2019. We included adults and the elderly of both sexes, with hematological cancer, undergoing oral or venous chemotherapy. Nutritional status was assessed by the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and QoL by EORTC QLQ-C30.
Results: Fifty-one patients aged in average 60.0 ± 15 years were evaluated. Of these, 51.0% were women, 80.4% were non-white, 37.3% had B lymphoid cell neoplasia, 60.8% had been diagnosed for ≤ 3 years, 77.1% were on chemotherapy, and 64.7% were well- nourished. The scores for global health status and functional scales were high and for symptoms and single items they were low, indicating good QoL and functionality and low symptomatology. After multivariate linear regression, the time of diagnosis ≤ 3 years was associated with functional performance (p <0.05) and malnutrition was associated with cognitive function (p <0.05) and with symptoms of fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and insomnia (p <0.05).
Conclusions: The patients evaluated had good quality of life and functionality, few symptoms, and were well-nourished. Time of diagnosis and malnutrition were associated with the role functioning and cognitive functioning domains, and with symptoms, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and insomnia.

Published: November 2024

Vertebral hemangiomas (VH) are common benign tumors, often asymptomatic. Their clinical presentation during pregnancy is rare. We report the case of a 38-year-old woman at 37 weeks of pregnancy, admitted for progressive paraplegia caused by an aggressive VH at the D5 level. MRI revealed spinal cord compression, necessitating a cesarean section followed by laminectomy and cementoplasty. The growth of VH during pregnancy is facilitated by hemodynamic and hormonal changes. Treatment involves surgery, with embolization as an option to reduce bleeding, and radiotherapy in the postpartum period. This rare case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management.

Published: November 2024

Mammary tuberculosis is a rare condition. Early diagnosis is often difficult. Mammary tuberculosis simulates other much more common breast diseases, in particular cancer in older women, and can only be diagnosed definitively by histopathological examination in the presence of epithelio-giganto-cellular granulomas with caseous necrosis. We report a case of mammary tuberculosis in a 42-year-old woman to raise the problem of diagnosis.

Published: November 2024

Introduction: Uterine sarcomas are rare tumors, representing less than 3% of malignant tumors of the female genital tract and between 3 and 7% of malignant tumors of the uterine body. They are a heterogeneous group of tumors comprising different histological subtypes, but with a generally identical evolutionary profile. Unlike uterine epithelial tumors, and apart from low-grade endometrial stromal sarcomas, uterine sarcomas have a poor prognosis. They have a high rate of recurrence (between 50 and 70%), local and especially metastatic (in approximately 70% of cases). The objective of our work is to specify the epidemiological characteristics of uterine sarcomas, the diagnostic difficulties faced by practitioners at the clinical, radiological and anatomopathological stages, the modalities of management as well as the different determinants of the prognosis of these rare tumors. Patients And Methods: Seven cases of uterine sarcomas treated in the gynecology - obstetrics II department at the Hassan II University Hospital in Fez between 2019 and 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. Results: The average age of our patients varies between 50 and 75 years with an average of 62.2 years. Of the 7 patients, 90% are multiparous, 100% menopausal. 78% of our patients consulted for metrorrhagia. On the paraclinical level, we performed a pelvic ultrasound for all patients, 80% of the results of which were in favor of an enlarged uterus with a heterogeneous echogenic intracavitary image, hysteroscopy in 04 patients for exploration of postmenopausal metrorrhagia and magnetic resonance imaging in 06 patients. The diagnosis was made at the preoperative stage in five patients. 71% of our patients benefited from surgical treatment. The anatomopathological analysis of the surgical specimens showed that 05, 07 patients benefited from adjuvant radiotherapy, while a combined chemotherapy/radiotherapy postoperatively was indicated in 02 patients. One patient presented a recurrence having ...
