Authors: Nanda Priyadarsini , Behera Sharmistha , Behera Sulin Kumar , Naik Madhumita , Sunanda R Sai 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Purpose:
Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome can be fatal if there is delay in diagnosis and discontinuation of causative drug. It is commonly linked with anticonvulsants and antibiotics. Understanding typical ocular manifestations can aid in early diagnosis and treatment. The main aim of this study is to provide an overview of common ocular manifestations of DRESS syndrome along with identifying the medications responsible and determining age and gender predilection.

Methods:
This is a 2-year observational study from June 2018 to June 2020. 37 patients recruited from ophthalmology OPD were thoroughly examined, and diagnosed in consultation with the microbiology and dermatology departments. Data required were collected by systematic examination of medical records. Patients diagnosed with DRESS syndrome having redness, itching, watering of eyes, diminision of vision, lid swelling, discharge, pain, and foreign body sensation were included in the study. Patients with no drug history, immediate drug hypersensitivity reactions, steven- Johnson syndrome were excluded.

Results:
Common ocular manifestations observed were tarsitis (14%), madarosis (12%), ulcerative blepharitis (10%) and conjunctivitis (10%), squamous blepharitis and keratoconjunctivitis (9%) along with other rare findings. Common triggering drugs were anti tubercular treatment (46%), carbamazepine (24%), dapsone (5%), antibiotics (11%). Mean age group affected was 42.05 years with peak between 11-20 years and slight female preponderance of 54%, with males being 46%.

Conclusion:
Knowing common ocular manifestations of DRESS syndrome and the drugs triggering is crucial in preventing serious consequences. Though treatment is supportive and steroids, key is to withdraw the causative drug early.

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Purpose:
Early detection of angioid streaks (ASs) is important as it may lead to the diagnosis of life-threatening conditions such as Pseudoxanthoma elasticum, sickle cell disease, and Paget’s disease. This study aims to analyze multimodal imaging features and frequencies of various fundus findings associated with AS.

Methods:
This was a retrospective, observational, two-center study, in eyes with a diagnosis of AS. Consecutive patients of Angioid streaks were included in the study. Demographic data, best-corrected visual acuity, and various imaging characteristics on fundus photography, fundus fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCT angiography (OCTA) were used for analysis.

Results:
A total of 64 eyes of 32 patients, with a mean age of 50.5 ± 10.9 years, were included. Common fundus findings associated with AS included Peau d’orange appearance (100%), macular neovascularization (MNV) (70%), punched-out chorioretinal atrophy (CRA) patches (56%), and diffuse CRA patch (6%). OCT picked up areas of patchy outer retinal loss (88%), MNV, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) nodularity (56%), and diffuse choroidal/RPE thinning. Eyes with MNV had a thinner choroid than those without MNV. OCTA showed varied degrees of choriocapillaris void areas in all eyes.

Conclusions:
Our study describes various clinical findings associated with AS along with their multimodal imaging features. MNV was found to be a very common complication of AS, which commonly presented with a thinner choroid.

A Study of the August Revolution of 1945 and its Impact on Colonial French and Japanese Rule in Vietnam
Authors: Tran Quynh Anh 
Published: August 2024

The August Revolution of 1945 posed a significant challenge to colonial French and Japanese rule in Vietnam. This paper aims to examine the extent of this challenge and its impact on the dynamics of power in the region. Through an analysis of historical events and primary sources, the paper seeks to shed light on the revolutionary forces at play and their role in shaping the trajectory of Vietnam's struggle for independence. The August Revolution of 1945 challenged French and Japanese colonial rule through long-term planning, internal support, OSS influence, and the establishment of an independent government by the Viet Minh guerrilla troops. The Vietnamese people took advantage of the power vacuum left by the Japanese coup d'état against French officials in Indochina. This, combined with the determination and anticolonial spirit of the Vietnamese people, led to the success of the August Revolution. The Viet Minh further consolidated their power by garnering support from the rural population and receiving military aid and training from the United States OSS.
That is What Most of Us Fail to Remember: Politics as a Neutralizing Game World Designed by Elites
Authors: Breidenstein Solis Kyara Maria , Campos Hernández Eduardo 
Published: August 2024

Concepts such as political framing and elite capture have never been thought of as part of the humanitarian foundation of politics. This is, however, not true of identity politics. Christened in 1977 by the Combahee River Collective, identity politics was originally meant to enable a group, composed mainly of black feminist women, to build their own political agenda. Striving to see the full complexity of their values and priorities leveled with those of other political movements, identity politics was looking to reveal limitations from inside groups and widen the scale and scope of problems tackled. Unity was meant to guide society towards a better world. Nevertheless, presently, identity politics often represents a normalized separation between societies whose identities are defined by past history. No longer meant to strengthen the voices of the unheard, it has become a political tool for those exercising significant impact on the political discourse of the present. Similarly, the integrities of both values and religion have, over time, subsided to power as well. With the basic foundations of the world's politics hijacked, a race against time has begun as society's justifications for climbing over people and exploiting the planet's limited resources have driven it to the verge of a disbalance so grave it might prove impossible to reverse. Thereupon, this text aims to analyze the scope of this twisted use of politics, explore activism as a countereffect, and examine the development of society under what can be defined as a never-ending match between "dark" and "light."
Bias Detection in Media: An NLP-Based Approach using Corpus Statistics and Sentence Embeddings
Authors: Gummalam Neeraj , Greenberg Clayton 
Published: August 2024

In this paper, we implement a Natural Language Processing (NLP) solution for binary classification to categorize a sentence as biased or unbiased. Detecting bias is a challenge in the media today, but can be utilized to help readers identify which sources portray bias. The general approach to classifying a sentence as biased or unbiased involves representing words and sentences using probability or pretrained vectorization models. Our final model only contained probabilistic data about the connection between words, sentences, and each class. We used Pointwise Mutual Information (PMI) and Term Frequency Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) as heuristics for finding the relationship between sentences and the biased and unbiased classes. We also leveraged Google’s Universal Sentence Encodings (USE) to capture the meaning of the sentences. Our results revealed a possible limitation in USE’s training data in terms of bias detection. Through topic analysis, we were able to uncover insights surrounding which topics are characterized by minimal bias. We were able to use these discoveries to contextualize the model’s performance.

Heart disease has many variants, although its intimidating lethality remains prominent throughout. The problem, Heart disease plays a leading role in the U.S death toll. Although some heart diseases are manageable, the role heart diseases play in the annual death toll suggests a call for a cure. This paper will contribute to ongoing research in order to find a cure for heart disease, also known as Cardiovascular Disease. Many people find out they have heart diseases at a later stage, often resulting in more complicated ways for treatment to be implemented. When a patient enters the later stages of Cardiovascular disease chances of survival remain relatively low. In detail, coronary heart disease is incurable but steps can be taken to reduce the effects of symptoms. Although why wait till one has inherited coronary heart disease? The solution, with advancements in technology we can look for evidence of developing symptoms. This evidence can help doctors assign earlier diagnoses. Although one must understand the signs that must be looked for, ex: the buildup of plaque inside arteries, blood circulation levels, and respiratory levels. Since most of these symptoms remain hidden in our body, often causing late diagnoses we can use nanosensors to keep track and report this information. The further focus of this paper is not only to help readers understand the severity of heart disease but also to acknowledge a possible solution known as the nanosensor. Before understanding how nanosensors can help, it's important to understand that nanosensors are a developing technology. Although, the potential to have an earlier diagnosis before the severity of the disease worsens remains unmatched in the world of health care. This paper utilizes the research method, combining articles and research papers alike in an effort to gather evidence to support the idea that Nanosensors can contribute to less deaths caused by heart disease. Nanosensors the focus of this paper is an explored solution, consisting of nanosized sensors that would provide biomarkers to help doctors analyze the likelihood of a patient inheriting cardiovascular disease.
Mental Imagery and Social Phobia: What Form of Mental Imagery – Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is Most Effective?
Authors: Clark Myra 
Published: August 2024

Mental imagery is the internal experience of representing sensory information that is normally perceived through the senses, entirely in the mind. Visual mental imagery, which is the most studied type of imagery, is commonly referred to as “visualization,” or “seeing through the mind’s eye.” One of the defining features of imagery is that it does not require an external stimulus for the creation of a mental image. Imagery can also be either voluntary or involuntary. Involuntary mental imagery is important as it is the essential element of many psychological disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, which is characterized by intrusive “flashbacks” of traumatizing memories in the form of imagery. Mental imagery has general significance in our lives as it is often used as a tool for remembering information, and it is increasingly being used in clinical fields both to study and to help treat mental health disorders. The purpose of this paper is to review literature on the neuroscience of mental imagery, emotion, and its clinical applications. This paper will also discuss different forms of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and their effectiveness in treating anxiety and mental health disorders, specifically social phobia. Additionally, this paper will attempt to fill in the gap in previous studies by providing insight into which form of CBT may be most effective for treating social phobia.
Beyond Picky Eating: Navigating Food Selectivity in Children with Autism Using ABA
Authors: Kucuksucu Amine , Kilincaslan Ayse 
Published: August 2024

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), autism prevalence has increased by 178 percent since 2000, and as of 2023, around 1 in 36 children in the U.S. has been diagnosed with autism. Among those children, more than %70 of them have food selectivity Mayes et al. (2019), which essentially means an extremely restrictive diet.

Food selectivity, characterized by limited food choices, can pose a health risk due to potential nutritional deficiencies. When individuals consistently consume a narrow range of foods, they may miss out on essential nutrients, leading to issues like weakened immune systems Sharp et al. (2018). Treating food selectivity is crucial for not only physical health but also mental health Lepinioti et al. (2021), especially in vulnerable populations like children with autism.

In this research paper, I aim to answer some of the critical questions surrounding food selectivity, explore its connections with oral sensory perception, and propose approaches for addressing this complex issue. Through this paper, I hope to contribute to a better understanding of food selectivity and provide insights that can enhance the well-being of affected individuals and their communities.
Personalized Medicine In Chron's Disease
Authors: Prem Sankar Divyasree , Appavu Rajagopal 
Published: August 2024

Crohn's disease is an autoimmune disease that has no complete cure. Although the disease has no cure, there are many different ways to treat it. The cause of Crohn's disease is not entirely known yet. However, researchers suspect that a mutation in the NOD2 gene causes Crohn's, and they have found many statistics to prove that the Nucleotide Binding Oligomerization DomainCcontaining 2 (NOD2) is the reason for Crohn's. Many other genes contribute to the cause of Crohn’s, but for this research paper, NOD2 is the main focus. NOD2 is a crucial gene in the immune system; because of its vital role, a mutation in this gene can have many effects. This paper will first discuss Crohn's and why NOD2 is essential. A popular and emerging topic in the field of medicine is personalized medicine. Personalized medicine is using or changing an individual's gene to help treat or cure the disease the individual is fighting. This paper will explore the details of personalized medicine and its different types. Personalization transforms the field of healthcare since perspectives are changing. Instead of everyone getting the same medication no matter how their body reacts to it, personalized medicine can provide a unique and personal treatment for the disease. To conclude, the paper will address and analyze the effect of personalized medicine on Crohn's disease and its impact.

Objective: To evaluate the incidence of radial artery loss among patients following coronary angiography.
Methodsology: A prospective cohort study was carried out at Cardiology Department of PIMS from January 2022 to December 2023. Patients aged 18 years old or above, both gender who were undergoing coronary angiography radial route for various indications in cardiac center at PIMS were included. All patients had radial artery cannulation with 6 French sheath. Patient who had only coronary angiography, their sheaths were removed just after completion of the procedure. Patients who had PCI their sheaths were removed after 4 hours of completion of procedure. Patients who had PCI were loaded with antiplatelet medications. Patients were followed in OPD after 2 to 3weeks. All of the information was entered and analyzed using SPSS version 26.
Results: Mean age of the patients was 56.52+10.69 years. Male were 70.3%, and females were 29.7%. Left radial artery was not palpable in 0.2% (1 patient). For the right radial artery, 10.3% had a non-palpable artery. Overall, this data indicates that 10.8% of the patients had a non-palpable right radial artery after the procedure. There was no significant association found of radial artery loss with age, gender, diabetes, hypertension and smoking history (p=>0.05), however its incidence observed significantly higher among patients who underwent PCI (p-0.001).
Conclusion: The incidence of asymptomatic complication of radial artery loss observed to the be 10.8% among patients undergoing coronary angiography via radial route. However, PCI was noted to be a significant predictor.
