Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a very complex syndrome, with typical hormonal and metabolic features. In adolescent girls, this condition shows particular characteristics which are in common with adult signs and symptoms, often making the diagnosis difficult. to evaluate the efficacy of informative educational approach on knowledge regarding polycystic ovarian syndrome, among Adolescent Girls at selected college students. Used for this study was pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design. : It was carried out with 110 samples selected by using Non-randomized purposive sampling technique. A self-administered knowledge questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge about PCOS, its impact and preventive strategies. The collected data was analysed and interpreted based on descriptive and inferential statistics. Result shows that the Pre-test knowledge score, 83.6% (92) of the adolescent girls were having average level of knowledge on PCOS and its prevention and remaining 16.3% (18) were having poor level of knowledge whereas the Post-test knowledge score, 83.6% (92) of the students were in the Good level of knowledge on PCOS and its preventive strategies remaining 16.3% (18) were having average level of knowledge. The Mean score before manipulation was ± 9.1 and the standard deviation was ± 1.88 whereas after intervention Mean score was ±17.6 and SD was ± 1.15. The mean difference was ± 8.5. The calculated ‘t’ value ± 44.34 which is a greater value compared to the critical value i.e., ± 1.98 which depicts that significance at the 0.05 level. Therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected and the research hypothesis was accepted. The association between the selected sociodemographic variables such as age, studying year in PUC, Branch in the PUC, Dietary pattern, Physical activity in the daily life, habit of eating junk food, age of menarche, type of menstrual flow, awareness of PCOS, and sources of information on PCOS and Mean Pre-test knowledge score found to be non-significant at 0.05 level since each calculated value of demographic variables were lesser than critical value. This result showed that null hypothesis was accepted and research hypothesis was rejected. Whereas BMI and regularity of menstrual cycle found to be significant at 0.05 level since calculated chi-square value was 7.90 and 16.93 with p value of 0.019 and 0.00005 respectively which is significantly greater than the critical value hence result showed that null hypothesis was rejected and research hypothesis was accepted. From the findings of the study, it can be concluded that informative educational programme was effective in improving the knowledge regarding PCOS, its impact and prevention among college students.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a cocktail regimen for the treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL).A prospective observational study.Tertiary care hospital.Thirty-five patients diagnosed with SSNHL who met the inclusion criteria.The cocktail regimen included intratympanic steroid injections, oral steroids, valacyclovir, and pentoxifylline.The primary outcome was the change in Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) from pre-treatment to 3 months post-treatment, analyzed by Modified Siegel’s criteria.Of the 35 patients, 26 (74.2%) showed hearing improvement (including complete and partial recovery) at the 3-month follow-up. The mean improvement in PTA was 22.56 dB (SD = 18.4). However, the calculated odds ratios (OR) for treatment efficacy and hearing recovery comparisons were 1.0, with wide confidence intervals, indicating no statistically significant differences between improved and not improved groups.The cocktail regimen showed potential benefits for hearing recovery in SSNHL patients, particularly in cases with less severe initial hearing loss. Nevertheless, the absence of a statistically significant difference in the comparative analyses underscores the need for larger, randomized controlled trials to substantiate these findings.
Comparative evaluation of oxygenating agent “blue m gel” and traditional periodontal dressing “Coe-Pak” on patient preference parameters (Pain and wound healing) after surgical depigmentation – A split mouth study
Authors: Kaur Navneet , Garg Umesh , Kaur Gurpreet 
Published: May 2024

Individuals with high lip line and gummy smile when accompanied withdark colored gingiva have an esthetic concern while smiling. For the management of gingival hyperpigmentation surgical technique with scalpel is still considered the gold standard, although healing may occur by secondary intension and oxygen is one of the essential nutrients for cellular metabolism and production of energy through ATP. It is also involved in collagen synthesis, oxygenative killing of bacteria and angiogenesis. To clinically evaluate and compare the effectiveness of oxygenating agent (Blue M Gel) and traditional periodontal dressing COE-PAK on patient preference parameters (pain and wound healing) after surgical depigmentation. This split-mouth randomized clinical trial was conducted on 5 non-smoking individuals aged 20–40 years irrespective of gender with maxillary or mandibular physiologic gingival pigmentation class (III) and (IV) according to the Dummett–Gupta Oral Pigmentation Index (10 treated sites) who had requested an esthetic treatment for gingival hyperpigmentation of the maxillary or mandibular gingiva. The maxilla or the mandible was randomly divided into two symmetrical parts i.e. from the right second premolar to the midline and from the midline to the left second premolar—to receive either Blue M gel or Coe-Pak as a periodontal dressing after surgical depigmentation with a scalpel. Patient preference parameters such as pain was assessed after 24 hours and 7 days of intervention and re-epithelisation index with toluidine blue was assessed after 1 week and 1 month of intervention. The result of the study demonstrated that pain score and re-epithelisation score was less in Test group (Blue M Gel) as compared to control group (COE-PAK) and was found to be statistically significant. :It can be concluded that Blue M gel can also be a better alternative as a periodontal dressing compared to COE-PAK due to its properties of better healing and decreasing post-operative pain.

Authors: Fagundes Camila , Schreiber Dusan 
Published: May 2024

In spite of the efforts of the footwear and textile industries to understand their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and develop reduction strategies, knowledge on the subject is still incipient. Given this scenario, this paper aims to identify, quantify, and present the main sources of GHG in this economic sector, followed by proposing solutions aimed at more efficient management. A qualitative and quantitative study was conducted with four companies in southern Brazil to achieve this purpose. Among the main sources of emissions are fuel and energy consumption. The main reduction alternatives include searching for alternative fuels and considering energy generation through clean sources. It is clear that implementing initiatives aimed at reducing emissions is not a simple task. However, the research highlighted the technical feasibility of new forms of production with a reduced environmental impact.

Authors: Bedard Nicholas A. , Dugdale Evan M. , Couch Cory C. , Lewallen David G. , Sierra Rafael J. , Berry Daniel J. , Abdel Matthew P. 
Published: May 2024

Background:
Metaphyseal cones with cemented stems can be successfully utilized in most revision total knee arthroplasties (TKAs). However, if the diaphysis has been previously violated, fixation of the cemented stem, which is important for cone ingrowth and construct survival, can be compromised. The initial results of our novel technique combining diaphyseal impaction bone-grafting with a metaphyseal cone were promising but required additional study. The purpose of the present study was to assess results of this technique in a larger cohort.

Methods:
A metaphyseal cone combined with diaphyseal impaction grafting and a cemented stem was utilized in 88 revision TKAs at our institution, including 35 from our prior study. The mean age at the time of revision was 67 years, and 67% of patients were male. Patients had had a mean of 4 prior knee arthroplasty procedures. The 2 most common reasons for revision were aseptic loosening (78%) and 2-stage reimplantation for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) (19%). The mean follow-up was 4 years.

Results:
At the time of the latest follow-up, no cone-impaction grafting constructs required re-revision for aseptic loosening. Five-year survivorship free from any revision of the cone-impaction grafting construct and free from any reoperation was 95% and 65%, respectively. A total of 25 knees (28%) underwent reoperation, with the 2 most common indications being PJI and periprosthetic fracture. All cones were osseointegrated, and all bone graft appeared stable or incorporated. One patient had radiographic evidence of tibial component loosening despite a well-fixed cone; however, this patient was asymptomatic and had not undergone revision at 9 years.

Conclusions:
When presented with a sclerotic, polished diaphyseal canal with deficient cancellous bone and concomitant metaphyseal bone loss, our technique of combining diaphyseal impaction grafting with a metaphyseal cone proved extremely durable in this larger series of patients. No cone-impaction grafting constructs required re-revision for aseptic loosening.

Los inicios del Ismailismo Nizarí: Traducción comentada de la obra Reconocimiento a Dios del Ḫwāǧah Qāsim Tuštarī
Authors: Virani Shafique , Martos Armenteros Virginia 
Published: May 2024

La obra de Ḫwāǧah Qāsim Tuštarī Reconocimiento a Dios (Maʿrifat-i Ḫudāy taʿālā), recientemente descubierta, es uno de los únicos textos que se conservan del primer periodo alamūtí de la historia musulmana ismailí. Esta obra conserva pruebas de la « nueva convocatoria » (daʿwat-i ǧadīd) a la fe ismailí que, según al-Šahrastānī (fallecido en 548/1153), fue inaugurada por el Imām fatimí al-Mustanṣir billāh (fallecido en 487/1094) y defendida por Ḥasan-i Ṣabbāḥ (fallecido en 518/1124). El texto subraya que el fin último de la existencia humana es conocer a Dios, y que el camino hacia este conocimiento pasa por el Imām del Tiempo. El texto, compuesto probablemente entre 525/1131 y 533/1139, contiene referencias casi contemporáneas a Sanāʾī Ġaznawī (fallecido hacia 525/1131) y apunta al desarrollo muy temprano de la poesía homilética, devocional y piadosa persa, así como del « metro maṯnawī » en el entorno ismailí. Más tarde, Farīd al-Dīn ʿAṭṭār (fallecido hacia 618/1221) y Ǧalāl al-Dīn Rūmī (fallecido en 672/1273) utilizaron célebremente este metro en sus composiciones místicas. El artículo incluye una introducción y una traducción comentada de Reconocimiento a Dios, de Qāsim Tuštarī.

Digital Twin Approach Integrates Existing Facilities, Proposed Developments
Authors: Carpenter Chris 
Published: May 2024

_
This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 215074, “Digital Twin for Development and Subsurface Integration: A Window Into the Future,” by Thomas K.G. Gan, Elizabeth Sumadh, and Bhaminie Sagram, Shell. The paper has not been peer reviewed.

_
The digital twin (DT) approach provides a virtual and digital representation of existing assets, spanning everything from onshore facilities to offshore platforms, pipelines, and subsurface data, all in one location. It has been used for the operator’s flagship Manatee project to develop three stacked reservoirs offshore Trinidad and Tobago. The DT was used to identify design modifications required at this onshore site and visualize proposed offshore assets. It integrates existing facilities and new design data, including site survey, subsurface, and well data to optimize well planning.

Introduction
The Manatee field lies within the East Coast Marine Area of Trinidad in approximately 92 m of water and consists of stacked reservoirs of clean and thin-bed unconsolidated sands. Production from these wells is expected to be processed through a new offshore platform and transported by the new pipeline to the Beachfield onshore facility. For a feasibility study and concept-selection stages, the DT platform played a crucial factor in visualizing and contextualizing development options and allowed front-end engineering contractors and operator teams to collaborate across multiple countries and inspect the location virtually. All engineering drawings, maps, design documents, and 3D models were powered by the DT platform.

Key Challenges
Traditionally, digital collaboration is performed through data and model export from different technical applications and results presented in slides and reporting documents. For oil and gas capital projects, typically 3–6 years elapse from feasibility stage to execution, deepening the issues caused by faulty corporate memory retention, staff movement, and project handover from different internal organizations.
Manatee project teams were based in various locations in Trinidad, the US, the UK, the Netherlands, and India, thereby increasing the likelihood of error by using multiple sources of data. Furthermore, effective collaboration without a single source of truth of data can be an obstacle. Given that multiple software was used for model building, development-well planning, and satellite imagery, an inability exists to view 2D and 3D imagery of onshore and offshore facilities with the subsea and subsurface in one place. Furthermore, between 2020 and 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic led to imposed restrictions and limitations placed on site visits. In such scenarios, drone images and video data can prove useful to access facilities remotely. These challenges needed to be addressed by access to a centralized platform that collected, stored, and provided virtual representations to ensure continuous monitoring and efficient decision-making.
Technology Focus: Extended-Reach and Complex Wells (May 2024)
Authors: Ullah Syed Zahoor 
Published: May 2024

With ever-growing energy demand, drilling professionals are continually challenged to extend cost-effective drilling frontiers. This situation is further aggravated by the need to access the ends of reservoirs, using enhanced hydrocarbon recovery, without affecting environmental footprint. This requires drilling several long laterals. Drilling long laterals—mostly extended reach and, lately, ultra-extended-reach and super laterals—requires cutting-edge technologies to navigate the complex drilling environment.
A combination of advanced tools with embedded artificial intelligence enabled an operator in the Middle East to drill an ultra-extended-reach well to 50,000 ft measured depth in 2023, while other operators in South America drilled super laterals with lateral lengths in excess of 5 km. Completing and casing of the laterals for efficient recovery has required an altogether different technological innovation. Operators in Australia constructed Technology Advancement of Multilaterals Level 5 smart junctions, building on the experience gained in the North Sea while further optimizing them through several operational iterations.
The process of pushing the boundaries of what is possible in extended drilling and completions required significant feats of engineering ingenuity. These included establishing an extremely delicate balance of wellbore stability while minimizing friction and drag, using state-of-the-art drilling assemblies for smoother wellbores, predicting formation properties, and using surface well-control equipment and practices. Autonomous drilling, advanced materials, real-time data analytics, and operational best practices were some of the main ingredients in the recipe of this excellence.
As technology continue to evolve and reservoirs become more challenging to access, the drilling industry is further improving its efficiency and derisking operations through the use of artificial intelligence, lighter and stronger pipes, and sophisticated data analytics.

AI as a Medical Device Adverse Event Reporting in Regulatory Databases: Protocol for a Systematic Review
Authors: Kale Aditya U , Dattani Riya , Tabansi Ashley , Hogg Henry David Jeffry , Pearson Russell , Glocker Ben , Golder Su , Waring Justin , Liu Xiaoxuan , Moore David J , Denniston Alastair K 
Published: May 2024

Background
The reporting of adverse events (AEs) relating to medical devices is a long-standing area of concern, with suboptimal reporting due to a range of factors including a failure to recognize the association of AEs with medical devices, lack of knowledge of how to report AEs, and a general culture of nonreporting. The introduction of artificial intelligence as a medical device (AIaMD) requires a robust safety monitoring environment that recognizes both generic risks of a medical device and some of the increasingly recognized risks of AIaMD (such as algorithmic bias). There is an urgent need to understand the limitations of current AE reporting systems and explore potential mechanisms for how AEs could be detected, attributed, and reported with a view to improving the early detection of safety signals.

Objective
The systematic review outlined in this protocol aims to yield insights into the frequency and severity of AEs while characterizing the events using existing regulatory guidance.

Methods
Publicly accessible AE databases will be searched to identify AE reports for AIaMD. Scoping searches have identified 3 regulatory territories for which public access to AE reports is provided: the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. AEs will be included for analysis if an artificial intelligence (AI) medical device is involved. Software as a medical device without AI is not within the scope of this review. Data extraction will be conducted using a data extraction tool designed for this review and will be done independently by AUK and a second reviewer. Descriptive analysis will be conducted to identify the types of AEs being reported, and their frequency, for different types of AIaMD. AEs will be analyzed and characterized according to existing regulatory guidance.

Results
Scoping searches are being conducted with screening to begin in April 2024. Data extraction and synthesis will commence in May 2024, with planned completion by August 2024. The review will highlight the types of AEs being reported for different types of AI medical devices and where the gaps are. It is anticipated that there will be particularly low rates of reporting for indirect harms associated with AIaMD.

Conclusions
To our knowledge, this will be the first systematic review of 3 different regulatory sources reporting AEs associated with AIaMD. The review will focus on real-world evidence, which brings certain limitations, compounded by the opacity of regulatory databases generally. The review will outline the characteristics and frequency of AEs reported for AIaMD and help regulators and policy makers to continue developing robust safety monitoring processes.
