Authors: K. D. Vishnu , Samuel E. Samson , John P. S. 
Published: April 2024

Background: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important restraint on anterior tibial translation of the knee. Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using hamstring tendon autograft is the most widely accepted surgical procedure for ACL insufficiency. This study is assessing the effect of ACL reconstruction by hamstring tendon autograft on the anteroposterior stability of the knee joint by measuring the side-to-side difference of anterior tibial translation using the Lachmeter. We are also assessing the functional outcome of the same surgery using international knee documentation committee (IKDC) score.
Methods: The study included 30 patients who were admitted for ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft. The side-to-side difference of anterior tibial translation was assessed by using Lachmeter preoperatively and postoperatively at the end of the 1st, 3rd, and 6th months. The IKDC score was assessed preoperatively and postoperatively at the end of 6th month.
Results: The mean Lachmeter value of respondents in the current study was 4.31±0.56 mm during the preoperative period. Lachmeter values were 2.79±0.42 mm, 2.09±0.42 mm, and 1.29±0.39 mm, respectively, at the end of the first, third, and sixth months postoperatively. Mean preoperative and postoperative 6th month IKDC scores were 55.83±7.7 and 89.20±5.3 respectively.
Conclusions: There is significant serial improvement in the side-to-side difference of anterior tibial translation in the 6 months of post operative period following ACL reconstruction using hamstring tendon autograft. The improved IKDC score from preoperative to postoperative level is also indicating a positive functional outcome.

Published: April 2024

Background: Articular cartilage is complex tissue that is able to withstand tremendous amount of force over many cycle but does not have the ability to heal even after minor injury. Treatment recommendation for articular cartilage injury and arthritis includes non-operative and operative management. Mosaicplasty is a reconstructive osteochondral grafting procedure for the treatment of articular defects of the knee. Mosaicplasty entails transplantation of small cylindrical osteochondral grafts from the non-weight bearing area of the femoral condyles and transplanting them in a mosaic like fashion into a prepared defect site on the weight-bearing surfaces of the same knee.
Methods: The present study was carried out in 30 patients in our hospital prospectively to determine the functional outcome results after arthroscopic mosaicplasty for localized osteochondral defects in the knee. We conducted a prospective study on 30 patients of osteochondral defect of knee. Patients were presented with pain and recurrent swelling in the knee after sustaining twisting injury in the knee. Diagnostic arthroscopy was done and the osteochondral defects is localized and treated with mosaicplasty. The graft is harvested arthoscopically from the non-weight bearing part of the femoral condyles using a harvester. Follow up of these patients is done according to Tenger Lysholm knee scoring scale at 03 months, 06 months after surgery.
Results: In our study 93.33% patients showed good to excellent results and 7% patients had fair and poor results.
Conclusions: Advantage of arthroscopic mosaicplasty includes implantation of hyaline cartilage without the need for any suture or adhesive, need for smaller incision minimally invasive and very less complications. Associated injuries like ACL/PCL or meniscal tear can be addressed in the same procedure. To conclude arthroscopic mosaicplasty is excellent procedure to address the focal articular cartilage injuries of knee.

The current research demonstrated the use of simple biomarkers from Oryzias celebensis embryos to detect the effects of pollutants from the Tallo River. The biomarkers used in this research were somite number, egg biometrics, heart rate, survival rate, and hatching time. Pollutants were sampled from three hot spots in the Tallo River (Station 1 (S1), Station 2 (S2) and Station 3 (S3)). Two exposure models were used in this study: in situ and semi-in situ exposure. In situ exposure was carried out by placing ten embryos (stage 17) at each station for six days. Semi-in situ embryos (10 animals) were exposed to polluted water from each station and embryo rearing media (ERM) as a control at stage 17 until hatching in the laboratory. Biomarker data were analyzed using ANOVA (Analysis of variance) to determine the sensitivity of each biomarker used. Almost all the embryos used as model animals in the in situ experiment died, except for two embryos placed in stations 2 and 3. The embryos from station 2 hatched after 18 days. The embryos from station 3 died after 18 days. The semi in situ experiment showed that the number of somites and heart rate showed statistically significant differences between embryos exposed to water from S1 and control embryos (p < 0.05). Other endpoints did not show potential as biomarkers. This study suggested that the number of somites and heart rate of O. celebensis embryos could potentially be used as biomarkers in effect-based monitoring.

Solving the prevention of the formation of traffic jams in pipelines in the transportation of gases by the autoejection process
Authors:   Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University, Gurbanov Abdulaga , Sardarova Ijabika ,   Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University
Published: April 2024

The article presents the application of autoejection process to ensure efficient operation of pipeline systems and gas separation installations when it is impossible to remove and utilize the condensate from the pipelines. Thus, in the suggested ejector, a single common stream is separated into two streams, i.e., an active and a passive stream, as opposed to two separate independent streams in existing ejection devices. As a result, we refer to such an ejection process as autoejection, or a self-ejection process. Such a procedure is run in the pipeline with the goal of blowing and dusting the liquid phase through the central high-velocity nozzle in circumstances of mass blocking and coating rather than expelling the liquid from the pipes. On the cross-sectional area of the belts, the velocity profiles of flows in laminar and turbulent regimes are known to differ greatly from one another. The adhesion forces acting from the tube's central axis outwards, towards its walls cause the flow rate to decrease. There is a cross-sectional interaction of flows in this mode, according to experimental studies of turbulent flows. As a result, compared to the laminar domain, the flow velocities in this regime are more equally distributed across the cross-section of the flow, and their values are roughly equal to the flow's average value. In this case, based on the dependences of the flow ∆p = f(W), it is known from the calculations and the table that at such velocity limits of the flows, the “braking” pressure (p0) of the liquid coating on the pipe walls corresponds to the maximum velocity of the central gas flow. The autoejection process can occur due to the difference between the static pressures. Unsaturated absorbent coatings can be blasted off the tube absorber's walls using this technique and blended back into the main gas stream. Gas-liquid autoejectors installed along the pipe absorber's length make it possible to use this method. The purpose and principles of autoejectors’ operation are considered and a perspective of their application in tube absorbers is noted.
Appraisal Theory: Can It Be Applied to Visual Images in Isolation to the Text?
Authors: AlZahrani Bashayir , Alhuthali Mohammed 
Published: April 2024

The role of women in Saudi society is evolving; however, the process of reform is subject to multiple interpretations. This makes the role of resemiosis when interpreting visual media particularly important, perhaps more than a direct focus on the semiotic modes adopted. Data was collected from a variety of on-line media covering the recent changes. Appraisal Theory was used to capture the judgement process in terms of emotions experienced by the reader/viewer and how the wider context such as the full news article, or even just the headline, forms a part of this process. This posits that in contested situations, resemiosis is a critical part of the process and sometimes the apparent interpretation of a single image (intersemiosis) can be different to the interpretation of the whole. In such instances, different semiotic modes convey different meanings but a focus on one in isolation can be misleading as to the overall intent.
Integrating Reproductive Justice Approaches in the Human Rights Framework: A Comparative Analysis of the U.S.A., India, and Indonesia
Authors: Tripathi Neha , Kumar Anubhav 
Published: April 2024

Sexual health and reproductive rights have become instrumental in defining the constitutional horizons and constitutionalism thereof of a country. In this context, Roe v. Wade emerged as an authority on the issue of abortion, bodily integrity, and sexual health which traveled in various jurisdictions. The paper purports to explore the underlying complexities and challenges in asserting reproductive rights by undertaking a comparative study of the constitutional and legal framework in the U.S.A., India, and Indonesia. The research work carried out is socio-legal, the social realities to elaborate social phenomena about existing legal facts, and the author assessed and analyzed the status of reproductive rights in the U.S.A, India, and Indonesia through a comprehensive analysis of case laws decided by constitutional courts of these countries. The global debate on women's reproductive rights, championed by feminists, emphasizes the urgent need to eradicate gender stereotypes for true equality. Despite progress, many countries still face challenges due to religious, cultural, and socio-economic biases. Access to contraceptives, abortion rights, and information remains limited. Promoting equal parenting and raising awareness are crucial. Legal mechanisms, like Roe v. Wade, have advanced reproductive rights, but regressive rulings like Dobbs pose threats. The demands of diverse communities, including same-sex couples, require revisiting legal frameworks. Constitutionalizing these rights and allocating funds for awareness and healthcare are vital steps. Governments must address child marriage and provide inclusive sex education, prioritizing reproductive health as a fundamental human right.

Published: April 2024

<strong>Background:</strong>Colorectal cancer is a type of malignant neoplasm that is often found with the third highest mortality rate in the world after breast cancer and lung cancer. Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of colorectal cancer which cause pain to the patient. The pain from this disease was described as chronic pain. Chronic pain can result from ongoing nerve inflammation and central sensitization. Inflammation begins with a mechanical injury which then turns into chronic inflammation. This situation changes the responsiveness of neurons to pain in the sympathetic ganglion. Sympathetic ganglia block is more effective in controlling visceral pain. This impar ganglion is the only sympathetic nervous system ganglion that is not attached to the sacrococcygeal. In this case report, the transsacrococcygeal joint approach was used to locate the ganglion accurately by injecting contrast and viewing the vertical dispersion called inverted commas along the ganglion laterally.<p><strong>Case Illustration:</strong> A 60-year-old female patient was admitted with complaints of pain around the anus. The patient has been diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma recti two years ago. Pain is felt like being stabbed and persists in the anal area. Pain intensity increases on sitting and defecation. The patient has undergone chemotherapy 12 times and is taking pain relievers that have been prescribed regularly. The patient's Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score is 6-7, which is categorized as severe pain. This patient underwent ganglion impar block using the trans sacrococcygeal joint approach with the help of fluoroscopy to relieve the severe pain.</p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Ganglion Impar Block (GIB) can be performed with significant results in reducing opioid use and reducing pain in patients with Adenocarcinoma recti. The technique of administering neurolysis agents with the help of fluoroscopy can be an option because it is very effective and simple

Published: April 2024

Abstract

Indian music is very rich in emotional content and technicalities. It is also contrasting having multiple genres which may be broadly classified as Classical (Hindustani or Carnatic) music, Semi-classical music (including Ghazals) and Light (including folk) music. The so called “rasa” or emotional content in Indian music is of much significance, e.g. selection of the right kind of music for therapeutic intervention by the music therapist who might be an expert in western art music (WAM) but could be new to Indian music. This paper presents a novel classification technique based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD), applied for the first time in Indian music. In this work, two genres of Indian music, Classical and Semi-classical, are considered. Highest classification accuracy of 98.68% is reported in the paper using SVM binary classifier after extraction of relevant features such as time domain features, frequency domain features, MFCC and Chroma vector.

Abstract

The faces we see in daily life exist on a continuum of familiarity, ranging from personally familiar to famous to unfamiliar faces. Thus, when assessing face recognition abilities, adequate evaluation measures should be employed to discriminate between each of these processes and their relative impairments. We here developed the Italian Famous Face Test (IT-FFT), a novel assessment tool for famous face recognition in typical and clinical populations. Normative data on a large sample (N = 436) of Italian neurotypical individuals (NT) were collected, assessing both familiarity (d-prime) and recognition accuracy. Next, we investigated the IT-FFA’s validity on a neurodevelopmental condition, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), often associated with face recognition deficits. Results showed ASDs’ difficulties in face recognition and in their ability to discriminate between famous and non-famous faces. Furthermore, this study explored whether both NTs and ASDs possess insights into their overall face recognition skills by correlating the Prosopagnosia Index-20 (PI-20) with the IT-FFT; a negative correlation between these measures in both groups suggests that even ASDs have insight into their (weaker) face recognition skills. Overall, our study provides the first online-based Italian test for famous faces (IT-FFT), demonstrates its sensitivity in detecting face difficulties in ASDs, and suggests spared face-related metacognitive skills in ASD.
