Polynomial approximation of dynamic signals of single platform railway scales
Authors: Kolysnychenko Illia , Tkachov Victor 
Published: November 2021

Purpose. Obtaining an approximating function (or a system of approximating equations), which, with a minimum error, will make approximations to the available data on a train of railway objects through 1 platform scales.
Methodology. To solve this problem, numerical methods are used, namely, the approximation by polynomial functions of the nth order. The experimental data on the basis of which the experiments were carried out were obtained from the weighing and identification system of wagon in motion on a single platform scale. The approximation process is automated using a program written in the Python programming language in which the polyPit and polyid functions of the numPy library are used to obtain the polynomial coefficients.
Findings. Due to the use of polynomial approximation in data processing from tensometric railroad weighing systems, it was possible to obtain a system of linear equations that, with minimal error, restored the experimental data that were obtained from the existing system of the Severny GOK: Metinvest enterprise.
When normalizing the readings of the sensors from conventional units, obtained from the summing box to the range of values [0; 1] it became possible, in percentage terms, to describe a railway object. This makes it possible to avoid the dependence of the final results on the travel speed of the carriage or locomotive, which leads to an increase in the accuracy of the identification of cars in the rolling stock due to the use of the percentage of the axles staying on the weighing platform (approach / exit). It became possible to determine the type of carriage with the same number of axles, but different characteristics of the center space and the base of the rolling stock.
Originality. The novelty is to obtain a general method of approximation of experimental data of the passage of wagons through a single-platform scales, which can be used to train intelligent systems and generate close to real data of the passage of a car (due to the imposition of noise, etc.).
Practical value. Improving the accuracy and speed of the carriage identification as a whole, which reduces the plant downtime, contributes to an increase in the number of weighed and identified moving objects, as well as the ability to identify the type of carriage with the same number of axles in the train. The methods presented in the work can be used both for identification and for tasks, the end result of which is the classification of input data (neural networks, etc.).

Published: November 2021

<p>Infection of the distant parts of the body especially the joints after a tooth extraction is uncommon, but when it occurs due to the virulence of the organism or due to the risk factors, it may cause severe joint infection with abscess formation and may limit the movements. We report a case of arthritis of the knee joint along with involvement of other joints following mandibular third molar teeth extraction one week postoperatively. The patient had swelling and limited range of motion of the involved joints, pain over other multiple joints. The patient had two episodes of postoperative septic arthritis following each mandibular third molar extraction. He was diagnosed of having septic arthritis and treated with antibiotics, analgesics, and steroids, that resolved after 3 weeks. </p>
A comparative study of efficacy, safety and compliance of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose versus iron sucrose in the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia of pregnancy
Authors: Kamath Vathsala , Reddy Naimisha , Shettian Nishita 
Published: November 2021

Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anaemia worldwide and is associated with significant maternal and fetal morbidity. Current options for treatment include oral iron supplementation which can be ineffective and poorly tolerated, intravenous iron which can be used in patients who are intolerant to or unresponsive to oral iron and red blood cell transfusions which carry an inherent risk because of which it should be avoided. Intravenous iron therapy may reduce the requirement for allogenic blood transfusion. Ferric carboxymaltose is a new intravenous iron formulation promising to be more effective and as safe as iron sucrose. It may even have a better compliance as it offers the administration of a much higher iron dosage at a time.The study was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of IV ferric carboxymaltose versus iron sucrose in the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia of pregnant women with moderate anaemia in the second and third trimester.A hospital based randomized prospective study was done from July 2013 to June 2015 in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, A.J. Institute of Medical Sciences, Mangalore. Baseline haemoglobin, peripheral smear and serum ferritin levels were measured to diagnose iron deficiency anaemia. 60 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria and who formed the study subjects were randomly allocated into two groups comprising of 30 in Group C (Received ferric carboxymaltose) and 30 in Group S (Received iron sucrose). Outcome was assessed by measuring haemoglobin 3 weeks after treatment and a comparison of the safety and efficacy between the two groups was made. In the present study the commonest age group was 21 to 30 years: 80% in group C and 73.3% in group S and mean age of the study population in group C and S was comparable (25.2±3.54 vs 24.8±4.58 years). The socio demographic characteristics, obstetric history, vitals and pretreatment haemoglobin were comparable in both the groups (p&#62;0.050). The post treatment haemoglobin levels in 63.3% of the women in group C compared to 46.7% in group S were found to be 11 or more and mean post treatment haemoglobin levels were comparable in group C and group S (11.016±0.789 vs 10.73±0.821 gm%; p=0.174). In the present study, post treatment mean increase in haemoglobin levels was noted between 2.0 to 2.5 gm% in 43.3% of the women in group C compared to 50.0% in group S. Ferric carboxymaltose administration in pregnant women in the second and third trimesters is well tolerated and is not associated with any clinical safety concerns. Both ferric carboxymaltose and iron sucrose have a comparable safety profile even when ferric carboxymaltose was administered in a much higher dosage compared to iron sucrose. Ferric carboxymaltose should be considered as the drug of choice, if i.v. iron treatment becomes necessary in the second or third trimester of pregnancy.
A comparative study of induction of labour with intravaginal misoprostol and intracervical dinoprostone gel and its fetomaternal outcome in a tertiary care hospital
Authors: Valvi Sheryl S , Airao Bhavesh B 
Published: November 2021

The objective of the present study was to compare the two most commonly used agents for induction of labor-vaginal misoprostol and intracervical dinoprostone gel in terms of the incidence of cardiotocography (CTG) abnormalities and its correlation with fetal distress and fetomaternal outcome.This is prospective case-control study conducted in department of obstetrics and gynecology, C. U. Shah Medical College and Hospital, Surendranagar over a period of 15 months. 112 women requiring induction were randomly assigned to two groups of 56 each, Group M received vaginal misoprostol and Group D received intracervical dinoprostone E2 gel. 56 women with spontaneous labor served as control group. Groups were compared in terms of the incidence of suspicious or pathological CTG tracings, fetal distress, induction to vaginal delivery time, vaginal delivery rates, dose requirements, rate of emergency cesarean.Misoprostol was associated with shorter induction to delivery time (9.54 hours) than dinoprostone gel (13.54 hours), higher vaginal delivery rates (80.35% versus 62.5%), higher delivery rates (73.9%) with single dose itself unlike Group D, where 47.22% required more than one dose. Incidence of suspicious CTG was higher in group M (15.68%) versus 10.25% in Group D. Incidence of pathological CTG was also highest in Group M (7.8%) followed by Group D (2.56%) and Group C (7.8%). Dinoprostone gel lead to failed induction in 25% women, and hence higher caesarean rates.While misoprostol is a better agent for induction when compared with dinoprostone E2 gel in terms of induction-delivery time, higher vaginal delivery rates, less dose requirement, it is associated with greater incidence of non-reassuring/pathological CTG. There was justified improvement in perinatal outcome due to preparedness beforehand with use of CTG.

Authors: Raman Srimathy , Rao Lavanya , Prakruthi KP  , Venkataram Padmalatha 
Published: November 2021

Guillain Barre Syndrome is a rare immune mediated acute demyelinating polyradiculopathy, uncommon in pregnancy, but with increased mortality and morbidity. It poses a great diagnostic challenge. Good outcomes can be achieved in these patients with multidisciplinary team involvement. We would like to highlight the need for obstetricians to keep this rare cause in mind by describing the case report of a pregnant lady who presented to our hospital with muscle weakness and how timely diagnosis by appropriate investigations-nerve conduction studies and timely treatment with IVIG prevented complications. 1. Delay in diagnosis is common in pregnancy due to initial nonspecific symptoms which mimic changes in pregnancy. 2. GBS should be considered in pregnant patients presenting with weakness, tingling and numbness. 3. Early diagnosis by involving multidisciplinary team, appropriate investigations (NCS) and prompt initiation of immunomodulatory treatment improves outcomes. 4. Management in pregnancy is like that in the non-pregnant population.

Authors: Chaudhari Ankita Sunil , Birare Shivaji Dadarao 
Published: November 2021

Sinonasal masses are common in the ENT Outpatient Department. The incidence being 1-4% of population. The symptoms and signs frequently overlap, hence, a diagnostic dilemma exists. The aim of this study was to study the occurrence of various lesions, the age, site and sex wise distribution in a tertiary care hospital of Maharashtra over the period of two years. The study aims to examine the occurrence of various lesions in nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, to determine the age, sex and site wise incidence of different benign and malignant lesions of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses and to correlate the clinical and histopathological findings. Descriptive Study A descriptive study was carried out in the Department of Pathology at Tertiary Health Care among patients with clinically diagnosed nasal and paranasal sinus lesions attending the OPD of ENT during a period of 2 years. The specimens were grossly examined; fixed and routine microscopic staining was done. Interpretation was done using colour of the nuclei and the specimens were classified as neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions. The data was statistical analysed. Mean, Median, Mode The most common clinical presentation was nasal obstruction 97 (93.26%), rhinorrhoea 73 (70.19%) and facial pain 24 (23%). 1: Mean age for the lesions to occur was years with the range 21-30 years (20.92%); 2: Non-neoplastic lesions 82 (79.6%) were more common than neoplastic lesions; 3: Simple nasal polyp 74 (90.23%), hemangiomas (50%) and squamous cell carcinoma (50%) were most common. The study concludes that complete clinical, radiological and histopathological correlation helps us to categorize these sino-nasal lesions into various non-neoplastic and neoplastic types. But final histopathological examination provides a confirmatory diagnosis, as a significant number of cases may be missed on clinical evaluation alone.The clinical features of non-neoplastic and neoplastic nasal and paranasal sinuses lesions may be indistinguishable from each other leading to delay in proper diagnosis and treatment. Histopathological examination is a reliable, cost effective diagnostic tool for accurate diagnosis and management of such lesions, as a significant number of cases may be missed on clinical evaluation alone.

Published: November 2021

Plasma cell dyscrasias are neoplastic proliferation of monoclonal plasma cells that encompass a wide range of entities. Plasmacytoma may present as one of two distinct clinical entities: Multiple myeloma and solitary plasmacytoma. The incidence of solitary plasmacytoma is 2-5% among all plasma cell neoplasms and it commonly involves long bones and vertebrae. Its occurrence in the jaw is extremely rare and only 4.4% are seen in mandible. Clinically, plasmacytoma of mandible presents as pain, tooth migration, hard and soft tissue swelling or pathological fracture. Radiologically, it presents as unilocular or multilocular lesion mimicking odontogenic tumour creating a diagnostic dilemma.We report a series of 3 cases of plasmacytoma of the mandible with comprehensive details of clinico-radiological, histological, immunohistochemistry findings and treatment with a review of the literature.These three cases were clinically mistaken for Ameloblastoma, Odontogenic tumour and Oral cancer respectively. There was one case of Solitary Plasmacytoma and two cases on further workup proved to be multiple myeloma. All these cases were confirmed by immunohistochemistry.Plasmacytoma of mandible is very rare. It is usually mistaken for other common mandibular lesions and oral cancers. Every attempt must be made to diagnose them precisely as management is quite specific. To best of our knowledge, this is the first series of plasmacytoma of the mandible in the Indian literature.

Published: November 2021

The number of students at Czech universities had been growing continuously until 2010. In 2010, almost 400,000 students studied there. Since then, this number has declined every year. Pressure on present-day universities has been accruing due to the competitive environment. The only way to strengthen competitiveness is to improve constantly the quality and image. The objective of this paper is to verify what factors are important for students regarding their satisfaction and what factors could be key for supporting the competitiveness of the Czech universities. To assess student satisfaction, the authors conducted a questionnaire survey where students were asked to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the faculty. The survey was carried out within the Faculty of Business and Economics of Mendel University in Brno (FBE MENDELU) and a selected private university in Brno in 2019. Relative frequencies were used in data processing and statistical hypotheses were tested. In addition to the basic classification according to one feature, a combination classification was also processed, and the independence was tested for different combinations of questions. Of the total number (1,020) of identified strengths at FBE MENDELU, 57.7% of students stated, “quality teachers”, 32.4% “faculty image” and 31.8% “modern environment” as strengths. Regarding the identified weaknesses, the most frequently mentioned were “study difficulty (42.4%),” weaker image of the university with the public “(31.5%) and not enough practical training (23.2%). At the private college, 47.8% of respondents cited “quality teachers”, “interesting lectures and teaching methods” (40.8%) and “study materials for subjects” (29.4%) as the school’s strengths.

Authors: Sakthi T. Siva , Meenakshi V. , Kanchana S. 
Published: November 2021

Background: Peanut milk was prepared by different processing methods like fresh, blanching, soaking, roasting and germination methods and analyzed its physico chemical properties like pH, TSS, acidity, viscosity and colour value and also analyzed its antioxidant activity in both the selected local and CO 6 peanut varieties and studied the effect of processing methods on physico chemical properties, organoleptic characteristics and antioxidant activity. Methods: Local and CO 6 peanut variety were selected for preparation of peanut milk by five different processing methods like fresh, blanching (121°C 15 psi for 2 mins), soaking for 3 hrs, roasting (roasting for 5 mins followed by soaking 3 hrs) and germination (8 hrs) pretreatments were done. Then grinded (1:3 ratio of kernel to water), filtered by using muslin cloth, slurry was separated. Then the peanut milk was homogenized for 5 mins and double pasteurized (85°C for 15 mins). Result: The present study results reported that physico chemical properties of peanut milk (local and CO 6 variety) pH value varied between 6.3-6.9, TSS 11-13°Bx, viscosity 4.80-5.00 (Cp/100 ml), acidity 0.04-0.08 (g%), colour value L*a*b was higher (91.02, 0.97, 12.47) in control peanut milk from both the local and CO 6 variety respectively. Antioxidant activity was significantly higher in peanut milk developed from roasting method (roasting for 5 mins followed by soaking 3 hrs) in both the peanut varieties. Antioxidant activity of the peanut milk is also important for maintaining the shelf life of the product and prevent oxidative damage in human being.

This study performed the synthesis of sodium silicate from the volcanic ash of Mount Kelud with various stirring time in the sodium silicate synthesis process. Synthesis of sodium silicate was carried out using alkaline extraction at low temperature. This method is based on the solubility of silica under alkaline conditions and is proven to be more effective than the smelting method. The dissolution of silica contained in the volcanic ash of Mount Kelud was carried out using NaOH solution to form a Na2SiO3 solution. This process also studied the effect of stirring time on the amount of dissolved silica, with the stirring time of 0.5; 1; 1.5; 2; 2.5; 3 and 4 hours. The dissolved silica levels were tested using AAS. The amount of dissolved silica increased sharply with the longer length of stirring time, however for a stirring time of more than 2.5 hours, the dissolution was slow. The study revealed that the optimal result time was obtained from the stirring time of 2.5 hours with dissolved silica content of 19.82%.
