Published: August 2022

INTRODUCTION- To determine the optimal time to safely deliver a baby prematurely due to various clinical situations, it is crucial to accurately assess fetal lung maturity. Sonography which is a non-invasive technique for evaluating fetal lung maturity can be useful in predicting risk for developing neonatal respiratory distress as compared to amniocentesis which is an invasive procedure with associated risks.
AIM - Purpose of this study was to determine if fetal main pulmonary artery doppler can play a role in predicting the risk of developing respiratory distress syndrome in neonates.
MATERIAL AND METHODS – The participants in this prospective cross-sectional study were 75 pregnant women with gestational ages ranging from 34weeks to 36 weeks +6 days. Ultrasound doppler examination was conducted and peak systolic velocity (PSV), Systolic /Diastolic ratio, pulsatility index, resistive index were measured and acceleration time/ejection time ratio was calculated for the fetal main pulmonary artery. Diagnostic accuracy of these values was tested for predicting neonatal respiratory distress.
RESULT - Of the 75 fetuses included in the study, 15 (20%) showed some signs of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). The Acceleration time/Ejection time (AT/ET) ratio in fetal pulmonary artery correlated significantly with development of respiratory distress syndrome in neonates (P=0.001). Fetuses with respiratory distress syndrome had higher Pulsatility Index and Resistive Index values, while their AT/ET ratio was low. AT/ET was found to predict respiratory distress development with a cutoff value of 0.30 (sensitivity: 98.3 percent; specificity: 86.67 percent). Pulsatility Index and Resistive Index displayed lower sensitivity and specificity than AT/ET ratio.
CONCLUSION- The fetal main pulmonary artery AT/ET ratio has a high sensitivity and specificity for predicting the development of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. Thus, we recommend that a fetus with an AT/ET ratio of <0.30 be delivered in a facility with good neonatal care.

Authors: Tushar Tushar , Mudit Mudit
Published: August 2022

Chondrosarcoma is a primary malignant bone tumour that is derived from the cartilage cells. Pelvis is a common site of involvement. Osteochondroma is a common benign bone tumour and shows a bony outgrowth that grows away from the adjacent joint. Hereditary multiple exostosis/diaphyseal aclasia is an autosomal dominant condition characterised by multiple osteochondromas. Neoplastic transformation of the diaphyseal aclasis is rare and only a few cases of pelvic chondrosarcoma with diaphyseal aclasis (hereditary exostosis) have been reported in the literature.
In this case report, we describe a case report of a 32-yr-old female; who had diaphyseal aclasia presented with pain and a lump in the pelvis adjacent to the left iliac region. On the basis of imaging; a provisional diagnosis of pelvic chondrosarcoma was given. The patient then had surgery and on histopathology well-differentiated chondrosarcoma was established

Death due to Pulmonary Embolism and Pulmonary Hypertension in Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome.
Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS) is a congenital disorder characterized by bony and soft tissue hypertrophy, capillary malformation, and varicosities (1). This syndrome has several complications such as, sepsis, hypercoagulability, rectal and bladder bleeding, venous thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism. Massive hemorrhage due to rupture of malformed leg vessels has been reported as a cause of death. We present a case of KTS where an adult Caucasian male who died suddenly at home. Clinically, the decedent had chronic pain and warmth in both legs, port wine stain, a longer and hypertrophied left leg, vascular malformation, big toes, and swollen soft tissues
Autopsy revealed did not reveal cardiomegaly or intrusive coronary artery disease. A ropy, granular, organized, and formed anti-mortem blood clot is observed in the pulmonary trunk, its branches, and in the lungs. He had abnormal structure of the feet, as well as varicose veins and swelling of the legs. Grossly, the left calf circumference is greater than the right calf circumference, varicosity of the left lower extremity, bony and soft tissue hypertrophy, especially the lower left extremity, swollen and large toes, cerebral swelling. Microscopic finding of lungs includes thickened pulmonary interstitium with congestion and edema, Pulmonary arterioles showed hypertrophied muscular layers with numerous thrombi of different ages, ranging from recent to remote with complete organization of some vessels, Trichrome stains confirmed the presence of recanalization and some plexiform lesions.

Authors: Sousa Eul , Ferreira Adriana , Silva Maria , Fraga Carla , Monteiro Cl
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Spinocerebellar ataxia type 13 is a rare autosomal dominant disease caused by point mutations in the KCNC3 gene coding for the Kv3.3 voltage-gated potassium channel. This disease can present different neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative forms.
Case report: We present a case of a child who had trunk and appendicular ataxia, exuberant gait ataxia, tremor, dysarthria, and dysrhythmic and scanning speech. She presented a delay and difficulty in acquiring fine motor skills. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging showed moderate hypoplasia of the cerebellum. A pathogenic variant c1268 G>A p.(Arg423His) in heterozygosity in the KCNC3 gene was detected, allowing the diagnosis of Spinocerebellar Ataxia type 13. Later, the same diagnosis was established in the patient's father. However, he gradually improved his ataxia and motor function throughout his life.
Discussion: Unlike most spinocerebellar ataxias, including the other spinocerebellar ataxia type 13 phenotypes, this one does not lead to progressive ataxia. Children with this disease should be follow-up by a multidisciplinary team and referred to an early intervention program. A regular neurologic examination is recommended to evaluate disease progression.

Authors: Godhani Abhishek , Kagathara Pooja
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT:
Background: Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is a simple, minimally invasive, cost effective and outpatient based method for diagnosis of various palpable lesions. Breast cancer is the commonest malignancy in women worldwide and adequate preoperative evaluation is the most essential part of management of breast lumps. Although core needle biopsy has evolved as the diagnostic tool of choice for breast lumps, Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology still remains an important diagnostic tool. Material & Method: We have conducted retrospective study of FNAC of palpable breast lumps for period of one year (June 2020 to May 2021) in Pathology department at Shantabaa Medical College and General Hospital, Amreli. All patients were out patient based from surgical OPD. A total of 46 FNACs from palpable breast lesions were studied. Results: Out of 46 FNACs, 25 were benign, including infective etiology, 12 were suspicious for malignancy, 9 were malignant. Conclusion: FNAC serves as a rapid, economical and reliable tool for the diagnosis of palpable breast lesions. Cytopathological examination of lesions before operation or treatment serves as an important diagnostic modality.

Published: August 2022

Background: Lumbar disc herniation is one of the common causes of low back pain throughout the world. Abnormalities detected in MRI do not always reflect low back pain, so these should be interpreted with consideration of thorough history and physical examination. Therefore, clinical correlation is required to delineate the importance of abnormalities in MRI.
Materials and Methods: The study was a Prospective study conducted from 2015 to 2017 in the patients coming to our tertiary care centre. We selected patients with lumbar disc herniation confirmed with MRI to find out correlation of clinical features and MRI findings in determining the level of lumbar disc herniation. MRI findings analysed were level of disc herniation, position and type of disc herniation, neural canal compromise.
Results: Out of the 102 patients studied, 44 had specific dermatomal distribution and 58 had non-specific distribution. Out of 139 levels of disc herniation, 62 levels showed disc bulge, 46 showed protrusion, 27 showed extrusion and 4 levels were with sequestration. Out of 139 levels of disc herniation, 42 levels had motor deficits. Conclusion: There is a good correlation between clinical findings and MRI findings. Disc bulge/protrusion/extrusion with central presentation was not significantly correlating with clinical features. But, independent of type of herniation, if there is para-central/far lateral position of disc with neural foramen compromise, there was significant correlation with clinical features.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common types of endocrine syndromes in women, where the disease is described as chronic anovulation and hyperandrogenism, which characterized by the formation of small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) in the ovaries. This study was carried out to introduce knowledge when plasma and erythrocytes portions were chosen to compare the antioxidant and oxidant status of PCOS patients treated and without treatment with Metformin. Samples were included 75 women diagnostics with PCOS according to Rotterdam criteria. The control group included healthy volunteers with regular menstrual cycles and with no symptoms of hyperandrogenism. Total Antioxidants Capacity (TAC), total Oxidant Status (TOS), and CuZn SOD enzyme activity were examined in both plasma and erythrocytes. The activity of the CuZn SOD enzyme was determined based on the ability of the enzyme to inhibit the autoxidation of pyrogallol. TAC values were significantly decreased in PCOS patients and the content in plasma was significantly higher than in Erythrocytes. On the other hand, the TOS values were in the opposite pattern, they were significantly increased in patients and higher in erythrocytes than plasma. The activity of superoxide dismutase was significantly higher in patients’ samples than in controls. This enzyme displayed higher activity values in samples from erythrocytes than the plasma and the highest activity was 61.9±3 U/ml. As the data for both TOS and SOD1 activity introduces the same pattern in blood samples, TAC values introduce a different line of responses. In considering Metformin’s effect on previous criteria, this drug significantly decreased the TAC, TOS and SOD1, activity group. as this drug is responsible for the reduction of circulating insulin and increasing the glucose uptake by peripheral tissues
Status of nuclear fusion energy science & technology for power production: progress & prospects
Authors: Hala Ahmed
Published: August 2022

Energy release by nuclear fusion reactions was first proposed in the context of theories explaining the energy source of stellar objects. Subsequently, laboratory experiments in the 1930's demonstrated the validity of such reactions. From the 1940's onward, efforts began to pursue the controlled & uncontrolled release of nuclear fusion energy for both civilian & military applications. While the military aspect of this technology was proved in the early 1950's, the civilian part, which focused on inventing different techniques to fuse light elements nuclei to produce power, found little success. The main reason for this was undertaking expensive & complicated fusion experiments without fully resolving all the scientific issues regarding each concept. However, the decades – long delays in realizing fusion for power production caused some of these efforts to shift recently & noticeably to the
commercial arena where a literal accountability of the progress of these projects is conducted. This status review paper gives a quick historical background on nuclear fusion science & technologies, explains briefly a few innovative nuclear fusion energy production methods with a focus on the rapidly growing commercial trend of nuclear fusion research and developments efforts.

Increasing efficiency and effectiveness is a fundamental problem for every company. Optimization of raw material inventory is an effort for this problem. PT XYZ is a company engaged in manufacturing various flavors of beverages, one of which is sugar. The level of sugar usage in each month is probabilistic and dynamic. PT XYZ's raw material inventory is determined based on field assumptions, causing a shortage or excess of raw material inventory. This study aims to determine the policy of raw material inventory P backorder model with the integration of Monte Carlo simulation and Dynamic System. The raw material inventory policy is determined based on the order time interval, safety stock, and maximum capacity and compares the actual total inventory cost with the Monte Carlo simulation. Dynamic system simulation is carried out to ensure that the P backorder model inventory policy can be applied. The results showed that the total inventory without Monte Carlo was better than the total cost of the Monte Carlo simulation of Rp198.846.582,98 with an order time interval of 0,30929 years, a maximum inventory capacity of 11149,8 kg and a safety stock of 4335,83 kg. From the results of the comparison using the one sample T-test, it was found that there was no statistical difference between the results of the dynamic system simulation and the results from the calculation of the P backorder model so that the P backorder model policy could be applied to PT XYZ to determine the minimum inventory cost.

New Midwives and the New Normal
Authors: Scicluna Bernice
Published: August 2022

Ever since I was a young girl, I knew I wanted to work in a caring profession. When I went to university for the first time, I undertook a Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy; at the time, ballet was a big part of my life, and I felt that physiotherapy perfectly aligned with my passion for dance and caring for others. However, a few months into the course, I started to realise that something was not quite right – something was missing. That something turned out to be midwifery! Becoming a midwife during the global COVID-19 pandemic was uniquely challenging, but allowed me to view the world differently. Here are the lessons I have learnt that will make me a better midwife.

Routes to enhanced performance of electrolytic hydrogen evolution reaction over the carbon-encapsulated transition metal alloys
Authors: Adamu Haruna , Qamar Mohammad
Published: August 2022

A substantial and steady decrease in the energy cost produced from renewable sources has revived interest in hydrogen production through water electrolysis. Deployment of electrolysis for H2 production is now closer to reality than ever before. Yet, several challenges associated with production cost, infrastructure, safety, storage, and so forth remain to be addressed. One of the overriding challenges is the production cost caused by a platinum electrode. To overcome such limitations, developing low-cost and stable electro­catalysts very close to the same electrode activity as platinum (Pt) metal is crucial to solving the efficiency issue in the process. Therefore, this review is in the direction of designing binary and ternary alloys of transition metal-based electrocatalysts anchored on carbon and focuses more on routes to enhance the performance of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The strategic routes to reduce overpotential and enhance electrocatalysts perfor­mance are discussed thoroughly in the light of HER mechanism and its derived descriptor.
