Published: August 2024

Subarachnoid block (SAB) is also known as the method of choice of anaesthesia for lower segment caesarean section. The most common complications associated with it include hypotension and bradycardia. Ondansetron, now days is emerging as an effective alternative for the prevention of spinal induced hypotension in elective LSCS patients. Our aim was to analyse & study the effect of Ondansetron 6mg I.V. on hemodynamics in lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) under regional anaesthesia. Study was conducted on a total of 60 parturients divided into 2 groups (Group I & Group II) scheduled for elective lower segment cesarean sections under Subarachnoid block. Comparison of mean heart rate between the Group I and Group II was found to be statistically not significant (p&#62;0.05) at all the time intervals. The difference was found to be statistically significant (p=0.001), showing significantly higher intraoperative fluid requirement in Group II in comparison to Group I. We observed that ondansetron 6mg I.V. given as a premedication 15 minutes before the administration of SAB resulted in a lesser incidence of hypotension following SAB.

Published: August 2024

Normal values of morphometric parameters of frequently fractured bones of the population we live with is important. Radius is one such bone. In this study, less frequently studied features of radius are measured and compared to find a correlation between them. This is of surgical importance in reconstruction of radius and also in designing implants. 105 radius bones from the Anatomy department and students were studied, radial head diameter in two dimensions was measured and averaged. The radial bow length measured from radial tuberosity to proximal end of distal RadioUlnar joint facet. Maximum Bow is measured by the modified method of Schemitsch and Richards. Distal radial metaphysical thickness on either side of the Lister’s tubercle and breadth of the distal end at the level of the distal radioulnar joint was measured using a digital Vernier caliper. Statistical analysis was performed using Minitab® 17.1.0., © 2013 Minitab Inc. All data distribution analysis was checked using the Shapiro-Wilk test. Correlation statistics were used to establish the relationship between two variables such as radial bow length with proximal and distal end parameters. The average diameter of the radial head was 20.11 mm SD 1.860. The mean Radial bow length was 19.52cm SD1.301. Mean maximum bow 9.105 SD 1.956 mm. The thickness of the distal end medially 17.80mm SD 1.593, lateral to Lister’s tubercle was 15.39 SD1.417. The correlation between different parameters is significant. Bow length and maximum bow are in constant relation. Different part of the radius is in proportion and is an important clinical feature to be appreciated.

It has been noted in many studies that there are hormonal imbalances in critically ill patients. We have undertaken this study to clarify whether thyroid profile can independently predict mortality & disease severity in ICU patients and whether there is any correlation between the thyroid profile & SOFAS scores. Current study was cross sectional in nature conducted on 152 critically ill sepsis patients. All patients fulfilling eligibility criteria of our study were included. There were 85 (55.92%) survivors & 67 (44.08%) non-survivors in the study. Mean age of the survivors was 58.33 + 12.56 years vs. 62.46 + 14.22 years among non-survivors. Mean FT3 level was significantly more reduced among non-survivors (1.5 ± 0.77 pmol/l) than the survivors (2.02 ± 0.66 pmol/l). Mean FT4 level though decreased, it did not differ between the two groups. While mean TSH level was significantly raised among non-survivors (5.23 ± 0.96 μIU/l) than the survivors (4.92 ± 0.96 μIU/l). Serum FT3 levels in both the groups were negatively correlated with disease severity i.e. duration of mechanical ventilation, duration of ICU stay & with SOFA scores. FT3 can be used as a proxy indicator of SOFA scores for assessing disease severity & predicting prognosis of critically ill patients in ICU.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most frequent neurodegenerative disease, affecting 1% of the population aged&#62;60 years due to striatal dopamine deficiency. Dopamine replacement with oral levodopa is the gold standard of symptomatic therapy. Longterm therapy with dopamine agonists might lead to decreased benefit and referred to as ‘end of dose deterioration’ or ‘wearing-off. This leads to decrease quality of life of such patients. There might be safety issues due to longterm use of these drugs. There are few studies conducted in India regarding quality of life studies and safety of antiparkinsonian drugs in Parkinson disease patients and none in West-Bengal. Hence this study is taken up in our tertiary care Hospital.To study antiparkinson’s drug-effects on quality of life of parkinson disease patients and their safety and tolerability.This prospective, observational study was conducted in Dept of Clinical & Experimental Pharmacology of School of Tropical Medicine Kolkata in collaboration with Departments of Neuromedicine of Kolkata Medical College and Private Clinics of a Neurologist.

Neonatal infection could be a major reason for death and illness in new borns, significantly in growing countries. To minimize neonatal sepsis-related morbidity and mortality, paediatricians must thoroughly understand the bacterial flora present and their pattern of susceptibility to antibiotics. This study focused to investigate the etiological profile of culture-positive sepsis and antibiotics sensitivity pattern. All neonates hospitalized in the critical care unit of the government general hospital in Srikakulam were included in this prospective study, which was done over the course of a year from January 2021 to December 2021. All infants with a positive blood culture and a medical diagnosis of sepsis were identified. All neonate demographics, clinical information, parental risk factors, bacterial profiles, and patterns of antibiotic sensitivity were noted and analysed. A total of 556 newborns admission to the NICU during the study period out of these 282 cases were diagnosed as neonatal sepsis out of these 282 neonatal sepsis cases 52 cases were culture-positive sepsis. Most bacterial isolates from culture-positive sepsis were gram-negative, predominantly ad and they are having good susceptibility to meropenem, cefotaxime and amikacin. cultures with gram-positive species staphylococci were the most common microorganisms and it was good susceptibility to piperacillin-tazobactam and linezolid. in the present study , and were the more frequently isolated microorganisms, these organisms are very well susceptible to meropenem, cefotaxime and amikacin. So we recommend cefotaxime and amikacin as the first line of treatment in our institution and meropenem and piperacillin-tazobactam as the second line of empirical therapy in our institution.

Published: August 2024

Os Estudos de Recepção têm se mostrado uma área em constante ascensão desde os últimos decênios do século XX. O presente trabalho objetiva analisar uma retomada do texto clássico de Tucídides em pleno século XXI, empreendida pelo professor de Harvard Graham Allison, em seu livro A caminho da guerra: os Estados Unidos e a China conseguirão escapar da Armadilha de Tucídides? [2017](2020). O uso do passado, mesmo pelo viés historiográfico, é também uma espécie de recepção. Allison foi diretor da agência americana CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) e estudante de língua e literatura grega. Como, então, se situaria o pensamento de Graham Allison no uso que faz da obra de Tucídides? Qual tipo de recepção do texto clássico ele empreende em sua obra. São questões sobre as quais se debruça o presente artigo.

Synthesis of Multicopter Stabilizing Control
Authors: Gu Penghao , Lobaty A. A. 
Published: August 2024

The paper is devoted to the problem of analytical synthesis of control that stabilizes the position in space of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) of a multi-rotor type a multicopter. An analysis of UAVs of this class has been carried out, features, place and differences among UAVs of various design schemes have been determined. The type of spatial mathematical model describing the translational and rotational motion of a multicopter is substantiated, which is considered to be a model of a four-rotor UAV – a quadrocopter, since such UAVs are widespread and have the basic properties that are inherent in such aircraft devices. A transition was made to a linear simplified model of UAV movement by linearization and justification of the main assumptions made during the linearization of the mathematical model. The problem of determining stabilizing control is reduced to the classical form of analytical synthesis of control that minimizes a given integral quality functional. A feature of the considered quality functional is the justification of normalization coefficients, which make it possible to reduce the summable integrands of various physical natures to a dimensionless form and take into account the real restrictions imposed by the technological and design features of a particular UAV on its maneuvering characteristics. As a result of the analytical solution of the problem, expressions for optimal control have been obtained, which are changes in time in the rotation speeds of the opposite quadcopter propellers, allowing to stabilize the position of the UAV in space, compensating for external undesirable effects on the UAV in the form of gusts of air flow or other factors. The executed computer simulation has confirmed the efficiency of the developed methodology. The given graphical dependences of the change in time of variables characterizing the control action and movement of the UAV in space clearly show the type of transient processes and allow us to evaluate the maneuver-ring capabilities of the UAV and formulate the basic requirements for its structural elements at the preliminary design stage.
