During the last two decades, a wealth of data on biodiversity and associated environments has been mobilized in digital form. Collectively, these data provide a powerful resource that when curated and integrated with intention, can provide critical information to address emerging complex global biological, environmental, and public health challenges. Tapping into the vast potential of specimen, observation, and environmental data requires us to integrate diverse and multifaceted datasets, connect domain-specific communities, and bridge discipline-specific social norms and data infrastructures. Linking data and their respective communities is a critical next step to creating the accessible and enriched data source needed to empower broad integrative biological research and education.
To initiate cross-domain collaborations, the Building an Integrated, Open, Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (*1) Data Network project, led by the Biodiversity Collections Network (BCoN) and funded by the United States National Science Foundation, convened stakeholders through six listening sessions over the summer of 2024. The sessions were aimed at building connections between disparate data communities—highlighting an iterative process of building a larger, interdisciplinary community from within. These listening sessions brought together representatives from federal agencies, the genetic data community, the ecology data community, the climate and environmental data community, the One Health community, and the biodiversity informatics community to initiate a collaborative and accessible partnership toward an integrative and expanded data network. Discussions focused on advancing data culture and infrastructure that meets emerging needs in research, education, conservation, biosecurity, and the bioeconomy. Participants discussed building on and bridging the Extended Specimen Network (ESN) vision with other existing conceptual frameworks for data integration and application (Lendemer et al. 2019, Thiers et al. 2019). Stakeholder groups will be brought together at an interdisciplinary workshop in early 2025, to develop a roadmap to augment existing initiatives with the aim of producing a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable), open, integrated data network.

Published: September 2024

This article investigates the congregation members to the transition from face-to-face worship and fellowship to digital spaces amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, with a sample of the Huria Kristen Batak Protestan (HKBP – Batak Protestant Christian Church), specifically in District Daerah Khusus Ibukota (DKI) Jakarta province, Indonesia. This study uses an empirical questionnaire method to assess the level of satisfaction, engagement and future preferences of the congregation regarding digital versus face-to-face worship practices. The questionnaire was built on current theories of encounter and fellowship and what the congregation members need in digital worship services. Data from 421 congregations with a 95% confidence level and 5% margin of error showed a dominant 62.7% preference for returning to face-to-face worship services and a participation decline during the pandemic. Respondents also felt a 60%–90% difference in digital services from church services, especially related to the need for communal fellowship. Participation in digital services correlates with higher education levels, while older congregations preferred face-to-face worship.Contribution: This study highlights the importance of incorporating Batak cultural values into digital ministry strategies to increase community connectivity and engagement. This article suggests further research on integrating cultural elements into digital religious practices, aiming to provide insights for churches navigating the digital transformation of religious services.

Published: September 2024

Background: The Collaboration for Evidence-based Healthcare and Public Health in Africa (CEBHA+) developed and offered a course on evidence-based public health (EBPH) in five sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries to enhance individual and institutional capacity.Aim: This study aims to assess, compare and learn from implementing the CEBHA+ EBPH course using the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework and Practical, Robust, Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM).Setting: This study involved CEHBA+ partner universities in five countries in SSA.Methods: We developed a framework that draws on signalling questions for RE-AIM and PRISM dimensions. Country teams reflected on, discussed and mapped unique experiences. Using this framework, we then elicited common themes across countries and distilled country-specific experiences through virtual discussions.Results: Across countries, 130 public health practitioners, researchers and students completed the course (Reach). The course increased EBPH knowledge and skills and the capacity to teach EBPH and resulted in immediate opportunities for applying skills (Effectiveness). Hybrid offering in two countries presented challenges regarding Internet connectivity and hybrid discussions. Facilitators had previous training in teaching EBPH. While learning material was the same across countries, the content was adapted to represent local public health priorities (Implementation, Adoption). Course materials have informed other related training leading to spin-offs (Maintenance). Institutionalisation is dependent on external funding.Conclusion: Strengthening EBPH capacity across contexts is feasible. Curricula containing both core and contextualised elements create an authentic learning environment. Formal evaluations should be embedded within capacity-strengthening initiatives.Contribution: This is the first study evaluating EBPH training in SSA using an implementation science lens, offering learning about context-relevant adaptations that assist with plans for sustainability and scale.
5: Comparison of intubating conditions with sniffing versus ramp position in non-obese patients
Authors: ChavanPritamDilip  
Published: September 2024

Background and Aims:
Proper positioning is essential in laryngoscopy for optimal laryngeal visualisation. In sniffing position (SP), the neck is flexed 35° on the chest and the head extended at the atlanto-occipital joint to produce a 15° angle between the facial and the horizontal planes in normal-weight patients. This was considered the optimal position for successful direct laryngoscopy.Rapid Airway Management Position (RAMP) was introduced by Collins in 2004 in which the patient’s external auditory meatus and sternal notch are in the same horizontal plane.

Methods:
After Institutional Ethics Committee approval for a randomised prospective study, 50 patients of age 18-60 years, with body mass index < 25, of American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA) I and II, having Mallampati classification (MPC) I and II, mouth opening angle (MOA)≥2, thyromental distance>6.5, undergoing routine elective surgery under general anaesthesia were divided into Group S (SP) and Group R(RAMP) (25 each). Patients in Group S were given 8 cm high pillow to elevate the occiput while that in Group R were laid on a ramp made of folded blankets. After laryngoscopy, both groups were compared for number of single attempt successful intubations, intubation time, Cormack Lehane (CL) view and need for ancillary manoeuvres.

Results:
Intubation time with RAMP was significantly lesser than SP. (p < 0.0001). Also, RAMP was associated with greater number of single attempt intubations (p= 0.034), better CL view (p=0.041) and lesser number of ancillary maneuvers(p=0.03).

Conclusion:
RAMP is superior to SP in terms of better laryngeal view, faster intubation time and lesser need for external manoeuvres.

Abstract No.: ABS0615: Anaesthesia management of bilateral bronchopleural fistula for repair
Authors: Shah Hetalkumar 
Published: September 2024

Background and Aims:
Bronchopleural fistula (BPF) poses ventilatory challenges during general anaesthesia (GA). Without repair of large BPF, patient’s condition is unlikely to improve. Hence thoracic surgery in these patient is a challenging task. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, has caused immense morbidityincluding pulmonary sequelae pulmonary complications such as BPF. Perioperative strategies included to maintaining adequate ventilation and haemodynamics.

Methods:
We present anaesthesia management of five cases, who developed bilateral significant BPF as post COVID-19 sequelae. Conservative treatment with bilateral ICD did not reduce the BPF leak. Hence, surgical closure of BPF was planned. Maintaining adequate ventilation was challenging task. Regional blocks are considered safer alternative in patients with pulmonary disease. Erector spinae blocks (ESP) was performed. Ventilatory and haemodynamic parameters were measured. Pain score and patient comfort was also recorded.

Results:
Out of five patients , four patients received ESP block and one patient had haemodynamic instability in intensive care unit so,the patient was operated under GA Table 1. Desaturation during positioning were noted in only one patient. Inotropes to maintain haemodynamics were required in two patients . All patients managed under ESP block were comfortable during intraoperative period.

Conclusion:
ESP block was found to be a a safer option for perioperative management in BPF repair in these patients of post COVID-19 sequelae .

Abstract No. : ABS0801: Prevalence of ‘Bertolotti Syndrome’ in patients with chronic low back pain coming to pain clinic- out patient department in an urban tertiary care hospital.
Authors: Nandi Gargi 
Published: September 2024

Background and Aims:
Bertolotti syndrome(BS) was first identified in 1917, as a common cause of lower back pain(LBP), especially in the younger population. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of BS in LBP patients and produce frequency estimates of BS for different demographics.

Methods:
Five hundred patients of both sex aged >18 years, presenting with lumbago, pygalgia or lower back or buttock pain, isolated or with radiculopathy with pain persisting for >3 months, numereical rating scale(NRS) score >5, were recruited. Patients with painful symptoms associated with other obvious etiology were excluded. Patients were investigated by ferguson view of antero-posterior lumbar spine radiograph. If pain was present at pseudoarticulation site on palpation then a diagnostic injection of 3 ml of 2% lignocaine was given at the pseudoarticulation or sacro-iliac neo joint. NRS was evaluated before and after injection. >50% improvement in NRS score were differentiated as BS.

Results:
The prevalence of lumbosacral transitional vertebra(LSTV) in the sample was 29.2%.The prevalence of BS was 15.2% which was higher in the study population (table 1). There were no statistically significant differences between men and women who had BS. No statistically significant difference was found between different age groups regarding the prevalence of BS.

Conclusion:
We conclude that Bertolotti syndrome is an underdiagnosed condition and a suitable analysis of a low back pain patient should be done to rule out BS Confirmation of pain originating from the pseudo articulation site can be made with local anaesthesia injections.

Abstract No. : ABS0814: Comparison of lung ultrasound technique versus clinical method to evaluate the accuracy of positioning of left endobronchial double lumen tube in patients undergoing elective thoracic surgery- a prospective observational study
Authors: Gupta Ekta 
Published: September 2024

Background & Aims:
Clinical methods like height and gender were found to be inaccurate in predicting the size of double-lumen tube (DLT).Tracheal ultrasonography (TUS) reliably predicts the size of DLT by measuring tracheal diameter. The aim wasto check theaccuracy of ultrasound over clinical methods.

Methods:
This study was conducted on 68 patients undergoing elective thoracic surgery requiring one-lung ventilation (OLV) withDLT. The subjects were divided into two groups depending on the prediction of size of DLT by either clinical (Group1) orultrasound method. (Group 2). The transducer was placed perpendicular to skin over cricoid cartilage to measure the transversediameter of the column of air in the cricoid cartilage which denoted the size of the DLT. The primary objective of the study was to assess the accuracy in prediction of size and placement of DLT through various parameters in both clinical andultrasound groups.

Results:
The accuracy of predicted DLT size between the Group U and Group C was found to be statistically significant (p=0.044). In Group 1, 56% of patients showed a mismatch between the predicted DLT size and the actual size required, while in Group 2, the mismatch was only 32.4%. The accuracy of placement of DLT in the first attempt suggested by adequate lung isolation was also significantly higher (p=0.028) in the ultrasound group compared to the clinical group.

Conclusion:
The size of DLT can be predicted by using clinical parameters but have low accuracy. In our study, the size of DLT was calculated by measuring tracheal diameter using TUS, which significantly improved the selection of appropriate DLT size, avoiding complications.

Abstract No. : ABS1022: Effect of use of Entropy Monitoring on Consumption of Sevoflurane Inhalational Agent in patients undergoing off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Authors: Trivedi Virali 
Published: September 2024

Background & Aims:
Assessing depth of anaesthesia using entropy is resourceful as it allows for accurate hypnotic drug administration and decreased anaesthetic drug consumption. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of entropy monitoring on sevoflurane consumption in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (OPCABG) Surgery.

Methods:
60 patients of American Society of Anesthesthesiologists grade II and III between 40-70 years of age, of either sex planned for OPCABG surgery were randomly allocated to two groups. In the control group B, sevoflurane was titrated according to changes in clinical parameters and in the study group A, sevoflurane was titrated to maintain state entropy values between 40-60 accordingly. Response entropy and state entropy values were continuously recorded in both the groups but were displayed on the monitor only in the study group. The entropy values, sevoflurane consumption andrecovery times were compared.

Results:
Sevoflurane consumption and recovery time were significantly reduced in the study group A than the control group B (p-value <0.001); Sevoflurane consumption was 7.03±0.67 ml/h vs 12.42±0.68 ml/h; recovery time 6.47±0.65 h vs 12.05±1.11 h). Response and state entropy values were lower in the control group than the study group (p < 0.001). Systolic blood pressure during skin incision, sternotomy and at the time of completion of all grafts were significantly lower in study group.

Conclusion:
Monitoring the depth of anaesthesia using entropy monitoring leads to significant reduction in sevoflurane consumption. Significantly faster recovery rate from surgery could be associated with more accurate hypnotic and analgesic drug administration.

Authors: K P Archana 
Published: September 2024

Background & Aims:
Nutritional and metabolic preparation of the body facilitates mitigation of increased catabolism, insulin resistance and therby attenuates the stress responses to surgery. . Nutritional and metabolic preparation of the body facilitates in mitigation of increased catabolism, insulin resistance and thus stress response to surgery. The present study therefore aimed at evaluating the effects of preoperative oral glucose loading and its effects in decreasing the stress response to surgery.

Methods:
The present study included Forty adult patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia who were then randomly allocated into two groups of 20 patients each. Patients in group G received glucose orally on the evening before surgery (100g) and on the morning of surgery (50g). Patients in group N did not receive glucose. All patients of both groups followed standard American Society of Anaesthesiologists ( ASA) fasting guidelines. Assessment for blood glucose, cortisol and interleukin-6 along with patient well-being were made at different time intervals.

Results:
The magnitude of increase in the Serum Cortisol from the baseline was significantly more in group-N as compared to group-G. The increase in the blood glucose levels was significantly less in group-G at T24. The magnitude of increase in the interleukin-6 levels from the baseline was significant at T24 in both the groups. Also significant number of patients in group-N experienced thirst, hunger and anxiety. Patients in group-G experienced less intense pain when compared to group-N.

Conclusion:
I Preoperative oral glucose loading was associated with significant reduction in the stress-response to surgery because of the concomitant decrease in the magnitudeof increase in blood-glucose and serum-cortisol levels.Also enhanced a patient well-being postoperatively in the form of reduced pain and anxiety was the additional Benefit of preoperatively glucose loading.

Abstract No.: ABS2271: A Comparative Study of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter and Lung Ultrasound Score in Healthy and Preeclampsia Parturients.
Authors: Nagpal Akshita 
Published: September 2024

Background & Aims:
Complications of preeclampsia include cerebral and pulmonary oedema which strongly correlate with optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and lung ultrasound score (LUSS) respectively. This study was conducted to compare ONSD and LUSS in healthy and preeclamptic parturients.

Methods:
In this prospective observational analytical study, healthy pregnant women and preeclamptic women, 35 each, age >18 years and gestational age >34 weeks up to 24 hours of delivery, were included. Approval from institutional ethical committee was obtained and trial registered with clinical trial registry of India. Ultrasound assessment for ONSD and LUSS (12 region lung technique) was performed. Severity of preeclampsia was noted. Data was analysed using appropriate statistical tests. ROC analysis was performed to obtain a cutoff value for both ONSD and LUSS to predict complications of preeclampsia. A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant.

Results:
Of the 35 preeclamptic women, 19 had severe preeclampsia. Severe preeclamptics had higher ONSD and LUSS than mild preeclamptics and healthy parturients (p-value < 0.001). No difference was observed in LUSS between mild preeclamptics and healthy parturients. Mean ONSD of >4.65mm and LUSS of >2 predicted preeclampsia complications with a sensitivity of 77.14% and 68.57%, specificity of 91.43% and 85.71% and AUC of 0.907 and 0.806 respectively.

Conclusion:
ONSD and LUSS assessment is an easy, bedside, noninvasive technique to assess complications, guide fluid therapy and monitor response to treatment in preeclamptic parturients. Thus, early intervention can help in reducing maternal/fetal morbidity and mortality
Abstract No. : ABS2675: Effects of avoiding neuromuscular blocking agents during maintenance of anaesthesia for recovery characteristics in patients undergoing craniotomy supratentorial lesions: A randomised controlled trial.
Authors: Grace Ruby 
Published: September 2024

Background & Aims:
With the advent of newer anesthetic techniques, the utility of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) in neuroanaesthesia seems dispensable. The aim was to determine whether NMBAs are required in patients undergoing supratentorial surgery when balanced anaesthesia with desflurane, dexmedetomidine and scalp block is used.

Methods:
Sixty patients with American society of anesthesiologists physical status I/II, aged between 18 & 60years were included. All patients received general anaesthesia along with desflurane, dexmedetomidine and scalp block. The patients were randomly allocated to receive no NMBA (groupA) or atracurium infusion to maintain a train of four count 2 (groupB). The two groups were compared with respect to haemodynamic stability, brain relaxation scores and recovery characteristics. Haemodynamic parameters and time taken to achieve Aldrete score >9 and secondary outcomes were analysed using Student’s t-test. Non-parametric data were analysed using the Mann-Whitney test.

Results:
The mean arterial pressure and intraoperative heart rate were comparable between the groups. However, in the postoperative period, heart rate remained higher in group B for 30 min after extubation (p=0.02). The brain relaxation scores were comparable among the groups (p=0.27).Tracheal extubation time, time taken for orientation and time required to reach Aldrete score >9 were comparable among the two groups.

Conclusion:
The present study suggested that balanced anaesthesia using desflurane, dexmedetomidine and scalp block can preclude the use of neuromuscular blocking agents in patients undergoing supratentorial surgery under intense haemodynamic monitoring.
