Published: October 2024

Abstract

Objective:
This retrospective observational study aims to evaluate cases of adenomatoid odontogenic tumors (AOTs) from 1990 to 2023, including unique environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) features.

Study Design:
Cases of AOT were retrieved from the Oral Pathology department archives and evaluated retrospectively over a 33-year period (1990–2023). Data collected and analyzed included age, sex, occupation, location, clinical features, radiographic appearance, and histopathological characteristics. Additional analysis was performed using ESEM.

Results:
Among the 4 cases evaluated, a majority demonstrated female occurrence and were most located in the mandibular region. ESEM analysis revealed distinctive structural features of AOT.

Conclusion:
This long-term study confirms the female predilection of AOT and identifies the mandible as the most common site of occurrence. SEM findings provide novel insights into the tumor’s ultrastructure, potentially aiding in diagnosis and understanding of AOT pathogenesis.

Authors: Latha Akkenapally Prasanna , Kamineni Vasundhara , Prabhu Jaligama Vishal 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT

Aim:
The aim of this study was to study the therapeutic role of hysteroscopy in peri- and postmenopausal women in certain pathological conditions, where it can be done as a single-time procedure to diagnose and operate wherever needed and possible.

Objective:
The objective of this study was to measure the diagnostic accuracy of hysteroscopy and its therapeutic efficacy in peri- and postmenopausal women.

Introduction:
Hysteroscopy is one of the accurate diagnostic procedures in diagnosing the cause of peri- and postmenopausal bleeding (PMB). It can also be used to treat few benign conditions of peri- and PMB. Here, in our study, we tried to evaluate the accuracy of hysteroscopy in diagnosing the cause of peri- and PMB and its use in treating certain conditions of PMB.

Materials and Methods:
The study design is a prospective observational study; women with peri- and PMB were recruited for 1 year and followed for consecutive 3 years. Based on hysteroscopic findings and after confirming the histopathological examination report, women were treated. Women who did not need any further surgical procedures after operative hysteroscopy were followed for recurrence in benign conditions. Women with premalignant and malignant lesions underwent simple or radical hysterectomy soon after diagnosis.

Results:
A total of 71 women were enrolled in the study who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. There were 20 perimenopausal and 51 postmenopausal women, the mean age was 56.02 years. Most of the women presented with PMB (56.3%) or heavy menstrual bleeding (18.3%). Hysteroscopy has 83.34%, 100%, 100%, 98.46%, and 0.98% of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy, respectively, in diagnosing carcinomas. Out of 71 women, 58 were diagnosed with benign conditions, 6 had carcinoma, 7 had premalignant conditions, these 13 women with malignant or premalignant conditions underwent further surgical management as per protocol. 58 women who did not need any further surgical procedure, and hysteroscopy was sufficient to treat their condition were followed up for 3 consecutive years, 4 had recurrence of endometrial polyps, 6 had recurrence of bleeding and needed hysterectomy, thus in our study by means of hysteroscopy we could prevent hysterectomy in 67.7% of women with benign endometrial conditions.

Conclusion:
In conditions with benign endometrial polyps and fibroid polyps, hysteroscopy is very much useful for both diagnosis and treatment, which can be performed as a one-time procedure. Although this serves the purpose only in a small segment of women with peri- and PMB, it is needed in the prevention of unnecessary hysterectomies.

ABSTRACT

Background:
Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of ischemic cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, approximately 20%–40% of cases of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients aged <50 years can be attributed to genetic factors, and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a risk factor for blood clots and AMI. We aimed to describe the clinical, angiographic, and developmental characteristics and COVID-19 severity and vaccination status in patients aged ≤45 years with AMI.

Methods:
We retrospectively analyzed 2624 patients with AMI by reviewing the results of coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention and medical reports. The study included patients aged >18 years who met the universal definition of AMI but excluded those with missing medical records or coronary angiograms.

Results:
In total, 2624 patients with AMI (aged 18–85 years) were included in the study and divided into two groups based on age: ≤45 (n = 1286) and >45 years (n = 1338). Total cholesterol and triglyceride levels were significantly higher in patients aged ≤45 years (5.6 ± 2.1 and 3.2 ± 2.1 mmol/L, respectively, P < 0.007) than in those aged >45 years (6.3 ± 1.8 and 3.1 ± 2.0 mmol/L, respectively, P < 0.001). Overall, 1745 and 879 patients were unvaccinated and fully vaccinated, respectively; severe and critical COVID-19 infections were more common among unvaccinated patients in both age groups.

Conclusions:
Younger patients with AMI were more likely to be smokers with no hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or previous AMI. In contrast, they were more likely to have hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia, single-vessel disease, Type C lesions, and a history of drug-eluting stent use.

Aging Retardation of Lead-Acid Batteries by Adjusting Charge Controller Threshold Values in Off-grid Photovoltaic System
Authors: Karaman Cihan 
Published: October 2024

Hybrid systems or coupled power plants with energy storage are becoming more and more popular due to the rising need for energy. Researchers have been conducting several experiments to assure longer-lasting battery use due to the increasing widespread use of energy storage and the depletion of resources such as silicon and precious metals. In this study, a simulation study is carried out in PVSyst software on lead-acid batteries, which have a low cycle and a very traditional electrochemical structure. The simulation is realized by scaling Spain’s consumption curve in 2023, taken from the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E), together with lead acid batteries and off-grid photovoltaic (PV) modules. After the off-grid system design is created and consumption data is imported, it is aimed to extend battery life by changing the charge-discharge threshold values of the charge controllers. Threshold values are in two categories, high and low, and seventeen different cases are simulated. According to the results of the simulation, the state of charge (SOC) levels of the batteries decreases significantly due to radiation and cloudiness in the winter months and remain high in the spring and summer months. When charge controllers are set to high thresholds levels, they cause gassing currents that rise to an average of 20 amps, while battery life extends up to 5.3 years. When low threshold values are used, negligible levels of oxygen and hydrogen gasses are formed in the battery, but battery life decreases to 4.1 years.
