Authors: Borad Abhilasha , Deianni Ellie , Burjonrappa Sathyaprasad 
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT

Purpose:
Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a rare malignancy associated with mutations in the DICER1 gene. Early-stage disease (PPB type I) mimics cystic lung malformations and develops in infants <1 year of age, and PPB type II and III arises in older children. The objective of this study was to analyze predictive factors of mortality in pediatric patients aged 0–19 years diagnosed with PPB between 2000 and 2019 in the USA.

Methods:
A retrospective analysis of pediatric patients (0–19 years) in the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database was conducted from 2000 to 2019 with a diagnosis of PPB using International Classification of Disease for Oncology, third edition code 8973/3 and rare tumor code 45. Demographics, incidence, staging, treatment, and mortality were extracted. A mortality risk predictive equation was developed using logistic regression. Statistical analysis was conducted through Microsoft Excel Analysis ToolPak and Solver.

Results:
There were a total of 71 new cases of PPB during the study period, with 16 (22%) deaths. The demographic analysis demonstrated that 40/71 (56.3%) patients were female, 57/71 (80.3%) were White, and 64/71 (90.1%) resided in metropolitan areas. Regression analysis demonstrated a statistically significant correlation between mortality and stage (P = 0.029), need for chemotherapy (P = 0.047), and female sex (P = 0.019). There was no significant correlation between mortality and need for radiation, race, or age at diagnosis. Multiple logistic regression analysis generated a predictive equation of mortality dependent on the stage of PPB, need for chemotherapy, and sex. This equation has an 82% accuracy, 81% sensitivity, and an 18% false positive rate.

Conclusion:
PPB is a rare disease. Distinguishing PPB from benign cystic lung malformations in infancy is important to avoid progression to Type II and III PPB. Advanced stages of PPB have a greater need for systemic chemotherapy and radiation with a poor prognosis.

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT

Aims:
To study the safety and feasibility of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol in pediatric colostomy closure.

Materials and Methods:
Retrospective observational study of children who underwent colostomy closure. Data were collected from the electronic medical records and telephonic follow-up calls of patients from October 2013 to October 2023, in the Department of Pediatric Surgery of a Tertiary level Medical College. The parameters obtained were age, gender, type of stoma, primary diagnosis, discrepancy in luminal diameters, time to reach full feeds, postoperative hospital stay, and complications. The protocol followed for colostomy closure included the following-no bowel preparation or nasogastric tube, no overnight fasting, single dose of antibiotic prophylaxis, avoiding opioids, packing proximal stoma till mobilization and starting early oral feeds postoperatively. The continuous parameters were expressed as mean ± standard deviation or median (range) while the descriptive parameters were expressed as number and percentage.

Results:
A total of 90 patients were included in the study. Most of the patients had colostomy for anorectal malformation. Five of them had significant luminal discrepancy of 4 or more times. Full feeds were reached within 2 days in 79 patients. Postoperative hospital stay was 2–3 days in 62 patients. Six patients stayed for more than 5 days, due to complications requiring further management. We noted surgical site infection in 6 patients all of whom were managed with regular wound dressings and fecal fistula in 4 cases, two of which resolved spontaneously.

Conclusion:
ERAS protocol in colostomy closure reduces the hospital stay and is cost effective, with early recovery and no added complications.

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Pediatric laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) has become the standard approach at many centers. We developed a minimal access surgery (MAS) training curriculum to enhance the delivery of MAS for pediatric patients in a resource-limited setting. We reviewed our 10-year experience in implementing and performing LNF at our institution.

Methods:
We described the challenges of implementing MAS training for LNF and how we addressed them. Beneficial technical considerations were described. A retrospective review was performed on all pediatric LNFs performed.

Results:
We performed 268 LNFs. Specialists or trainees under supervision performed all LNFs. The trainee group performed 43 LNFs (16%). The median operative time for the specialists was 94 min (interquartile range [IQR] 50), and the trainee group was 140 min (IQR 62.5). The median number of cases performed until we improved operative time amongst the trainees was nine (IQR 3). There were seven repeat LNFs, and 11 cases were converted to open. The overall complication rate was 8.9%. A reduction in complications among specialists occurred over the years. The 30-day mortality post-LNF was 0.7%.

Conclusion:
LNF can be successfully introduced at a tertiary training centre in South Africa with good outcomes. A comprehensive quality improvement program, including MAS training, supported this.

Published: May 2024

Purpose: The objective of the study was to determine how the interaction between the volume of online sports betting and the demographic factors affects how student-athletes perceive the repercussions on their mental health.
Methodology: Cross-sectional survey research was used for this study. Thirty-eight universities both public and private were sampled. Self-reporting questionnaires, key interview schedules and an observation plan were all used by the researcher. With the help of the SPSS version 25 programme, the data were coded and examined. Testing the impact of demographic factors on the connection between dependent and independent variables involved regression analysis with an interaction effect. The link between the independent variables was investigated using correlation analysis. Data was presented in form of tables and figures.
Findings: The findings demonstrate a substantial and positive correlation between the level of gambling and mental health (r = 0.411, P>0.0001). The findings of the regression of coefficients showed a positive and significant relationship between the severity of gambling and students' mental wellness (r = 0.576, P>0.0001). The R1 Squared value was greater than 0.169 (without interaction) at 010.731 (with demographic factors interaction). The interaction impact of the demographic parameters was significant (p-value = 0.012).
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: This suggests that the association between the intensity of gambling and mental wellness is significantly influenced by the combination of demographic factors. According to study, regular bettors are more likely to attempt or commit suicide because they are more prone to feel anger, rage, and guilt after suffering significant losses. Particularly when students are under stress, this is true. Online sports betting has also been linked to high levels of addiction, just like alcohol, drugs, and items related to smoking.

Authors: Bhatt Akanksha 
Published: May 2024

Marma sharira is known as the science of traumatological anatomy. Injuries to various structures of the body such as arteries, muscles, nerves, bones, and visceral organs may result in fatal injuries and death. Marmas in Ayurvedic classics are illustrated as the vital points in human body injury of which leads to termination of life. Acharya Sushruta has presented five types of marmas on structural basis, that is, Mansa-marma, Sira-marma, Snayu-marma, Asthi-marma, and Sandhi marma. Whereas according to acharya Vaghbhatt, there are six types of marmas. He has enumerated a sixth group of marma known as Dhamani Marma. Under the Dhamani Marmas which are nine in number he has presented Vidhur marma. The injury to which leads to deafness. The possible cause of deafness may be due to injury of an arterial structure that is Dhamani or snayu, that is, nerves. This article focuses on co-relating various anatomical structures such as arteries and nerves with Dhamani Marma explained by acharya Vagbhatt with special reference to Vidhur marma injury.

Authors: Solanki Priyanka , Krishnan Ajith 
Published: May 2024

It is considered that Ojas is a constituent that embodies the ultimate essence of each and every one of the body's Dhatus, or tissue elements. It is one of the Pranayatanas, or the "seat of life." Ojas is also regarded as the live, luminous energy that resides within the human body. Every bodily component needs it to function efficiently. Both physiological and psychological elements have an impact on it. The classical Ayurveda text describes Ojakshaya as one of the Ojavikara which may be prevalent in various diseases. Referring to our ancient text, Pandu Roga is a disorder brought on by Oja kshaya in the body. Clinical evaluations of Pandu patients can reveal the presence of Oja kshaya; if this information is kept in mind during treatment, it may prevent the disease from progressing further and leading to problems. The relationship between Oja kshaya and Pandu is discussed in old Ayurvedic texts. The findings indicate that Oja kshaya may be more common in Pandu patients. The goal of this review article is to comprehend Oja and Oja kshaya and how they relate to Pandu..

Published: May 2024

Seating in sports venues is a type of seating where rows are much more frequent than in other types of auditorium seating. Traditional seating looks to maximize capacity over fan experience. The stadium experience can be enhanced by recommending appropriate seating by viewer’s preferences and past behavior. Group customers would want to sit together when they go to a sports arena, but sometimes there are not enough seats available together. This study's methodology for improving viewing experience by optimizing seating arrangement using game type, historical ticket sales and opponent team is offered in this study as a way to get around this drawback. The data are collected from Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena seating dataset. Afterward, the data are fed to pre-processing. In pre-processing segment, the noise is removed and data is enhanced using Adaptive Robust Cubature Kalman Filter (ARCKF). The outcome from the pre-processing data is transferred to the Recurrent Graph Neural Network (RecGNN).The reserved seating, bowl seating and stadium seating are successfully classified by using RecGNN. RecGNN's weight parameter is optimized by the Lotus Effect Optimization Algorithm (LEA). On the Python working platform, the proposed RecGNN-LEA is implemented. The proposed strategy is analyzed using performance measures including recall, f1-score, accuracy, precision, and computation time.
