Dexamethasone effect on heart rate variability in preterm infants on mechanical ventilation
Authors: Alonzo Corrie J. , Fairchild Karen D. 
Published: December 2017

BACKGROUND: Dexamethasone is administered to some preterm infants with chronic lung disease to facilitate weaning from mechanical ventilation. Heart rate characteristics (HRC), including heart rate variability (HRV), may be impacted by glucocorticoids and may predict extubation readiness. A commercially available monitor developed for sepsis detection continuously calculates HRV and an HRC index, which are inversely related. OBJECTIVES: Determine the impact of dexamethasone on HRV and the HRC index, in relation to extubation success. METHODS: We identified 109 preterm infants who received dexamethasone while on mechanical ventilation and had HRC index monitoring data available. Average hourly HRV and HRC index were compared the day before and the day after initiation of dexamethasone in three groups: infants who remained on mechanical ventilation, those who were successfully extubated, and those who were extubated and required reintubation in < 3 days. RESULTS: There was a significant increase in HRV and decrease in the HRC index the day after dexamethasone was started (HRV 16.2±0.5 vs 27.6±1.1 ms; HRC index 1.51±0.11 vs. 0.79±0.06 mean SE, p < 0.001). The 63 infants who were extubated within a day of starting dexamethasone had significantly higher HRV compared to those who remained on mechanical ventilation. There was no difference in HRV or its change with dexamethasone in the 45 infants who remained successfully extubated compared to the 18 infants who required reintubation within 3 days. CONCLUSION: Dexamethasone improves HRV and lowers the HRC index in preterm infants with chronic lung disease on mechanical ventilation.

INTRODUCTION: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a common etiological agent of a life-threatening infection in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Neonates with very low birth weight and patients with serious diseases are more likely to be exposed to invasive procedures which make them at a high risk of MRSA colonization and infection. Since MRSA colonization is a risk factor for MRSA infection, prevention of MRSA transmission is an important issue in NICUs. NICUs in Japan practice standard contact precautions and active surveillance cultures (ASC) to prevent MRSA transmission. In this report, we analyzed the clinical characteristics of MRSA colonization and infection between January 2010 and December 2015 in our perinatal care center. METHODS: We conducted retrospective analysis of 1716 neonates hospitalized in our perinatal care center. RESULTS: 120 cases had MRSA colonization (6.99%) and among them 33 neonates were infected. The duration of stay ( P≤0.001) and the birth weight ( P≤0.001) showed statistically significant differences between MRSA-colonized neonates and non-MRSA-colonized neonates. The number of central venous catheterization showed statistically significant differences ( P = 0.001) and the number of digestive system diseases showed marginally significant differences ( P = 0.072) between MRSA-colonized non-infected neonates and MRSA-infected neonates. CONCLUSIONS: As previous reports have shown, we present that the neonates with central venous catheterization were more likely to be infected with MRSA. We also need to pay attention to neonates with digestive system diseases, showing signs of infection, because they may be potentially infected with MRSA.

Authors: Begum Suraiya , Dey Sanjoy Kumar 
Published: December 2017

OBJECTIVES: To assess the clinical manifestations and pattern of congenital heart diseases (CHD) in infants of diabetic mothers (IDMs) and infants of non-diabetic mothers. METHODS: A prospective cross sectional study was carried out at tertiary care center over a period of thirty months. All neonates were included in this study if CHD were identified by echocardiography within this study period. Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test were used to compare between groups. RESULT: Out of 62 neonates, IDMs and non-IDMs were equal in number, male and female ratio was 3 : 2, and majority were delivered by cesarean section (85.5%). Mean gestational age was 35 weeks, 62.3% were preterm, and 37.7% were term. Common clinical presentations were cardiac murmur (61%), and respiratory distress (43.5%). Less common presentations were low SaO2 (27.4%), tachycardia (24.2%), and cyanosis (24.2%). Common combination of presentations were murmur and tachypnea (38.7%); cyanosis and low SaO2 (24.19%); and low SaO2 and tachypnea 15(24.19). The common echocardiographic findings were atrial septal defect (ASD; 72.6%), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA; 45.2%), and ventricular septal defect (VSD; 25.8%). ASD (77.4% vs 67.7%) and VSD (35.5% vs 16.1%) were more in IDMs, and PDA (48.4% vs 41.9%) was more in non-IDMs. These differences were not significant between groups. CONCLUSION: Clinical presentation and echocardiographic findings of CHD were similar in IDMs and non-IDMs.

A weed survey was conducted in Agronomy Field Laboratory, BAUFarm and farmers’ fields of Sutiakhali Natunchar village in Mymensingh district during the period from December 2015 to March 2016 to study the weed vegetation in wheat and boro rice. Ten fields were selected for each crop from each location. A quadrat of 0.25 m2 was placed randomly at four places in each plot and the weeds within the quadrat were identified and counted species-wise. The results revealed that the composition of weed species in two different crops was different and the composition of weed flora in each crop under different locations was also different. In wheat, a total number of 29 weed species belonging to 16 families were found from all three locations. The infesting weed species were 18 in Agronomy Field Laboratory, 16 species in BAU Farm and 19 species in farmers’ fields. From the five most dominant species, Polygonum hydropiper had the highest relative abundance value in both Agronomy Field Laboratory and BAU Farm and on the other hand, in farmers’ field, a new weed species, Eleusine indica was in the top most of the dominant list. The other weed species which were present in the dominant list of three locations were Cynodon dactylon, Cyperus rotundus, Paspalum distichum, Chenopodium album, Marsilea quadrifolia and Leucas aspera. In boro rice fields, among the three locations, 25 weed species were observed in total belonging to 13 families. Of which, 20 weed species were found in both Agronomy Field Laboratory and BAU Farm whereas in farmers’ fields, 21 weed species were identified. In both Agronomy Field Laboratory and BAU Farm, Eleocharis atropurpurea had the highest abundance value but in farmers’ field, Cyperus difformis occupied the highest value. The other dominant weed species were Leersia hexandra, Monochoria vaginalis, Echinochloa crusgalli, Paspalum distichum and Alternanthera philoxeroides found in three locations. Many common weeds were present in three locations in a crop but their frequency, uniformity, density and relative abundance value were different. The similarity index of weed species between wheat and boro rice indicated that the infesting weed species between the two crops was less associated. Thus the weed divergence in boro rice with wheat was high. From this study it was clear that the weed infestation was changed by crop and locations. In this study a little bit divergence and ranking of five most abundant weed species and low similarity index value of weed species in different crops under a specific area or among the area indicated that weed control measure should be adopted on crop basis in a specific area considering the dominant weed species.J.

Atypical breakpoints and variant APL cases involving alternative chromosomal aberrations are seen in a small subset of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients. Over 7 different partner genes for RARA have been described. Although rare, these variants prove to be a diagnostic challenge and require combination of advanced cytogenetic and molecular techniques for accurate characterization. Heterogeneity occurs not only at the molecular level but also at clinico-pathological level influencing treatment response and outcome. In this case series we describe the molecular heterogeneity of APL seen in a single tertiary referral centre with a focus on seven variant APL cases from a single tertiary cancer center in India over a period of two and a half years. We discuss five cases with PLZF-RARA fusion and two novel PML-RARA variants, including a Bcr3 variant involving fusion of PML exon4 and RARA exon3 with an additional 40 nucleotides originating from RARA intron2, another involving exon 6 of PML and exon 3 of RARA with addition of 126 nucleotides, which mapped to the central portion of RARA intron 2 To the best of our knowledge this is the first of kind case series from India

Published: December 2017

Abstract
Aims and Objectives: The fourth ventricle, seen as intracranial translucency (IT) at 11–13+6 weeks, has been reported to be obliterated in cases of open spina bifida (OSB). Our aim was to assess its role in detecting OSB at 11–13+6 weeks. Materials and Methods: This prospective study was conducted at foetal medicine unit from January 2014 to June 2015. All women who underwent both first and mid-trimester scan in our unit were included in the study. IT was categorized as normal, obliterated or not clear. Spine was examined during both scans. Results: Totally, 341 cases were included in the study. IT was found to be obliterated in four cases and not clear in one case. There was demonstrable OSB at 11–13+6 weeks in two cases, at 15–16 weeks in two cases and at 24 weeks in one case. In the remaining 336 cases with normal IT, spine was found to be normal at target scan. Conclusion: Mid-sagittal view of face that is routinely used to measure nuchal translucency (NT) can also be used to detect OSB. It is feasible to integrate IT into the routine 11–13+6 weeks scan.

Abstract
Purpose: The efficacy and safety of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), in patients outside instruction for use (IFU), is very challenging and widely debated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the placement of the Treovance® abdominal aorta stent-graft in patients with hostile proximal necks considered outside IFU. Materials and Methods: Between May 2013 and August 2014, 5 patients with outside IFU underwent EVAR with the Treovance® stent-graft. Technical and clinical successes were evaluated. All 5 patients underwent clinical and imaging follow-up. Results: Technical and clinical successes were achieved in all 5 patients without adjunctive endovascular procedures or surgical conversion. During the mean follow-up of 21 months, no type I/III endoleaks, stent-graft migration nor kinking/occlusion were observed. In all 5 patients, a reduction of the proximal neck angle was observed. Conclusion: In our small series of selected outside IFU patients, EVAR with the Treovance® stent-graft was technically feasible and safe, with satisfactory short-term follow-up results, when performed by experienced operators. Long-term follow-up will be necessary to confirm the durability of our preliminary promising results.

Abstract
Purpose: To determine the area and extent of injury in hypoxic encephalopathy stages by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) using parameters apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) values and their comparison with controls without any evidence of asphyxia. To correlate the outcome of hypoxia severity clinically and significant changes on DTI parameter. Materials and Methods: DTI was done in 50 cases at median age of 12 and 20 controls at median age of 7 days. FA and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were measured in several regions of interest (ROI). Continuous variables were analyzed using Student's t-test. Categorical variables were compared by Fisher's exact test. Comparison among multiple groups was done using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post hoc Bonferroni test. Results: Abnormalities were more easily and accurately determined in ROI with the help of FA and ADC values. When compared with controls FA values were significantly decreased and ADC values were significantly increased in cases, in ROI including both right and left side of thalamus, basal ganglia, posterior limb of internal capsule, cerebral peduncle, corticospinal tracts, frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital with P value < 0.05. The extent of injury was maximum in stage-III. There was no significant difference among males and females. Conclusion: Compared to conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the evaluation of FA and ADC values using DTI can determine the extent and severity of injury in hypoxic encephalopathy. It can be used for early determination of brain injury in these patients.
Cardiac magnetic resonance techniques: Our experience on wide bore 3 tesla magnetic resonance system

Published: December 2017

AbstractCardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has become a widely adapted imaging modality in the diagnosis and management of patients with cardiovascular diseases. It provides unparalleled data of cardiac function and myocardial morphology. Majority of CMR imaging is currently being performed on 1.5 Tesla (T) MR systems. Over the last many years, the cardiac imaging protocols have been standardized and optimized in the 1.5T systems. 3T MR systems are now being used more and more in small and large institutions in our country due to their proven advantages in the field of neuro, body, and musculoskeletal imaging. Cardiac imaging on 3T system can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, it may provide nondiagnostic images due to significant artifacts, and on the other hand, it may complete the examination in quick time and provide excellent quality images. It is therefore important for the user to be aware of the potential pitfalls of CMR in 3T systems and also the necessary steps to avoid them. In this study, we discuss various challenges and advantages of performing CMR in a 3T system. We also present potential technical solutions to improve the image quality.
Reinforcing Effects of Calcium Silicate-based Cement and Dual Cure Composite Resin in Simulated Immature Teeth with an Open Apex: An in vitro Study
Authors: Zhabuawala Murtuza S 
Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT

Aim
To evaluate the fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth with an apical plug of biodentine followed by composite resin vs total obturation with biodentine tested immediately and after 3 months of aging and also to find out the chemical composition of dentin in contact with these materials.

Materials and methods
Extracted human maxillary central incisors with simulated immature apex with radicular dentin thickness (RDT) of 1 to 1.5 mm selected and divided into three groups of 20 each. Group I (control)—4 mm biodentine apically and thermoplasticized gutta-percha. Group II—4 mm biodentine apically and composite resin. Group III—complete obturation with biodentine. About 10 samples from each group were tested immediately and remaining 10 stored in phosphate buffered solution (PBS) and tested after 3 months for fracture resistance and chemical analysis of dentin.

Results
No significant difference in fracture resistance between the groups was observed when tested immediately. After 3 months of aging, only biodentine group showed a significant reduction in fracture resistance with increased Ca/P ratio of root dentine.

Conclusion
Biodentine group has shown drastic reduction in fracture resistance after 3 months of aging, and hence, cannot be recommended as a reinforcement material in immature teeth with thin dentin walls.
