Published: December 2024

Background:
Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is the most common inherited genetic red blood cell disorder, highly prevalent in the tribal population residing in the Central India. The affected populace are disadvantaged due to a lack of accessibility and unavailability of transportation, flawed communication systems, insufficiency of health professionals, and basic health infrastructure.

Objective:
The objective was to set up a yoga-based lifestyle intervention (YBLI) center that is sustainable, accessible, affordable, and acceptable as the part of the Integrated Sickle Cell Anemia Research Program (ISCARP) randomized control trial study.

Methodology:
By analyzing previous government screenings, the study identified remote, high-prevalence areas. Based on these criteria, encompassing 58 villages were surveyed in Maharashtra. Bijari village in Nandurbar was chosen for setting up the YBLI center. This center was equipped with basic health facilities and Information and Communication Technology infrastructure, managed in a hybrid model by ISCARP staff and incentive-based government health workers. A Central Control Center was established at SVYASA University in Bangalore to coordinate all the activities.

Results:
The YBLI center was successfully set up in Bijari village. At the center, around 69 children and adolescents got benefited during Yoga intervention. Only one subject out of 34 in intervention cohort experienced mild crisis. Their basic vitals were recorded regularly. On 11 different occasions, sever crisis of the participants was addressed which reduced morbidity and mortality rate. Furthermore, a social and health profile of these participants was created and updated regularly using sickle cell patient Information Management System, SIMS Portal.

Discussion:
Establishment of easily accessible YBLI center for providing primary healthcare, tele consultation with doctors, and maintaining electronic medical record and monitoring and recording vitals in addition to providing adjuvant Yoga therapy.

Conclusion:
By offering prompt medical help and counseling, the YBLI center reduced the psychological and economic strain of sickle cell disease on the local populace. The center also captures and stores medical health records, updated on regular basis, which is of great value to the government in deciding and designing policies.

Authors: Jogdand Reshma , Maharana Satyapriya , Metri Kasinath G , Anuradha B. S. , Nagarthan R 
Published: December 2024

Background:
Positive uterine artery Doppler (UAD+) in the first trimester is an indication of abnormalities in the formation of the placenta, UAD+ is associated with an increased risk of pregnancy complications in the later part of pregnancy. Yoga practice during normal pregnancy has positive effects on pregnancy outcomes. However, no study to date has examined the feasibility and safety of yoga during pregnancy in pregnant women with UAD+.

Methods:
Twenty-one women aged between 20 and 35 years (mean: 28.8 years) who had a UAD+ (uterine artery pulsatility index >2) at 12 weeks of gestation were recruited from the gynecology department of a tertiary care hospital in southern India. Institutional ethical approval and informed consent was obtained before the intervention. All participants received a 45-min yoga session in virtual mode three times a week for 2 months from a certified yoga therapist. The yoga module consisted of simple yoga postures, breathing techniques, and meditation. Enrollment, attrition, retention, adverse events, difficulties in practicing yoga, and subjective experience were assessed at the completion of 2 months.

Results:
A total of 346 pregnant women underwent Doppler ultrasound in the first trimester during the study period, of whom 35 (10.1%) had UAD+. Twenty-one women participated in the study and 18 completed it. Enrollment and retention rates were 7.7% and 78%, respectively. Three women dropped out of the study due to personal reasons. No adverse events were reported during the study. Overall satisfaction with the program was rated 4.3 out of 5 points. Most women experienced relaxation, less stress, and lightness in the body after yoga sessions. The duration of the yoga session was found to be acceptable and sufficient.

Conclusion:
This study reports that tele-yoga is a safe and feasible intervention for pregnant women with UAD+ in the first trimester. Further studies with randomized controlled trial are warranted.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:
Long-term metabolic disease type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is distinguished by elevated blood glucose, insulin resistance, and drought of insulin with dyslipidemia. Oral hypoglycemic agents lower blood glucose levels as well as prevent both short-term and long-term complications such as micro/macrovascular atherosclerosis, chronic kidney diseases, and chronic heart disease. This study aims to compare the effect of glimepiride versus teneligliptin in combination with metformin in T2DM patients attending a tertiary care hospital.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This prospective, randomized, open-label study was initiated in a tertiary care hospital after obtaining IEC approval. Written informed consent was obtained. The sample size was calculated using “Statistics and sample size software.” Ninety-seven patients satisfying the inclusion criteria were assigned to two groups using simple randomization with allocation 1:1. Group A received metformin + glimepiride while Group B received metformin + teneligliptin for 12 weeks. Fasting blood sugar (FBS), postprandial blood sugar (PPBS), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and lipid profile were recorded at the baseline and at the end of 12 weeks. This study was conducted for 1 year. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23.0 software.

RESULTS:
Out of 97 participants (Group A: 48 and Group B: 49), Group A showed a higher reduction in FBS (48.18 ± 9.64) whereas Group B showed 72.53 ± 5.01, 1.74 ± 0.42 of change in PPBS and HbA1c after 12 weeks.

CONCLUSION:
The study found that combining metformin with teneligliptin was better tolerated and improved glycemic control and lipid profile compared to metformin plus glimepiride.
Metformin-induced eyelid myokymia
Authors: Ahsan Marya , Nizami Deba Jalal 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Metformin, an insulin-sensitizer, is used in the treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in obese women as it helps in weight loss and regularizes the menstrual cycle. However, impaired absorption of Vitamin B12 due to metformin has also been hypothesized. Here, we report the case of a 39-year-old woman prescribed metformin for PCOS, presenting with an unusual symptom of eyelid myokymia. She developed distressing unilateral eyelid twitching, not responsive to conservative management or oral methylcobalamin. She was a nonsmoker, nonalcoholic, and nor caffeine-abuser. Other confounding factors such as stress, sleep deprivation, or eye strain were not evident. The only significant finding was borderline low Vitamin B12 levels. The symptoms subsided on discontinuation of metformin and reappeared when metformin was reintroduced. Although eyelid myokymia is a self-limiting benign condition, it can also be triggered by drugs and affect the quality of life. Practitioners should monitor Vitamin B12 levels during metformin therapy to prevent adverse effects.
Detection and segmentation framework for defect detection on multi‐layer ceramic capacitors
Authors: Kim Hyun‐Jae , Son Sung‐Bin , Oh Heung‐Seon 
Published: December 2024

AbstractDetecting defective multi‐layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) during the inspection stage is a crucial production task to effectively manage production yield and maintain quality. However, this task presents two challenges: the necessity of pixel‐level segmentation in high‐resolution images and unexplored defect patterns. To address these challenges, this paper introduces an MLCC defect‐detection framework based on deep learning with an MLCC dataset we constructed and a comprehensive analysis of MLCC images. Our framework employs an object‐detection model to identify dielectric regions in input MLCC images, followed by a semantic segmentation model to create dielectric masks for calculating the margin ratio. This approach follows the traditional inspection process but can be performed without specialized personnel. Furthermore, we generated pseudo‐defect images using generative adversarial networks to obtain sufficient training data. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework, which achieved a defect‐detection accuracy of 93.1%, as revealed by an in‐depth error analysis.

Students who lack confidence believe that they cannot accomplish a work, view the activity as pointless, and as a consequence, don't want to put any time or effort into it when properly engaged brings about traits that are needed in a student, hence academic engagement is seen as a potential antidote to the issue of students’ self-efficacy in mathematics. Therefore, this paper investigated student’s self-efficacy in senior secondary school mathematics as being predicted using academic engagement. An ex-post facto correlational research design was used. 1680 students from Senior Secondary School II made up the study's sample from the twenty-one randomly selected schools in the three Local Government Areas of Remo division of Ogun State, Nigeria. Mathematics Student Academic Engagement Scale (MSAES) with and Mathematics Self Efficacy Scale (MSES) with . Findings showed that cognitive engagement significantly predicts self-efficacy of students in Mathematics (F = 527.320, p<0.05). Also, behavioural engagement significantly contributes to the variance in students’ self-efficacy in Mathematics (F = 759.251, p<0.05). Furthermore, emotional engagement significantly contributes to the variance in students’ self-efficacy in Mathematics (F = 667.409, p<0.05). Results also revealed that the predictor variables cognitive, behavioural and emotional engagement when taken together significantly contribute to the variance in students’ self-efficacy in Mathematics (F = 380.151, p<0.05). This study concluded that cognitive, emotional and behavioural engagements are good predictors of senior secondary school students’ mathematics self-efficacy. To increase students' self-efficacy in mathematics, stakeholders in Nigerian education are advised to ensure that students are engaged cognitively, emotionally, and behaviourally.
