Role of visual evoked potential (VEP) in indirect traumatic optic nerve (ITON) injuries and assessment of the visual outcome
Authors: P Saravanasankar , Sangeetha D , Sangeetha S 
Published: December 2023

To demonstrate the critical function of Visually Evoked Potential (VEP) in the prompt detection of indirect optic neuropathy. 60 patients suspected of having traumatic optic nerve injury underwent VEP testing in &#60; eight hours of traumatic experience. Baseline visual acuity was revealed to be the most imperative prognosticator of eventual visual outcome. The VEP was instrumental in the primary detection as well as validation of ITON. Additionally, VEP aided in predicting prognosis and follow-up for patients with IITON. Visual recovery is impossible in the absence of recordable VEP waves. The manifestation of orbital fractures wasn't associated with a preliminary or ultimate visual perception decrease. Patients who present &#60; 8 hours following ITON with normal initial visual acuity, VEP alterations, and lower RAPD grades may have a greater chance of recovering final visual perception when treated with an instantaneous high steroid dosage. The above-mentioned prognostic markers in patients with ITON may be beneficial in predicting visual prognosis and determining the need for surgical therapy in patients who experience vision loss following head trauma.

Published: December 2023

Complete spectrum of covid 19 infection in children as well as its sequaele is still unknown to the world even after two years of ongoing pandemic. Many manifestations of covid 19 have been missed and are yet to be identified. In this study, we aim to hypothesize hepatitis as a probable late manifestation of COVID-19 infection in children. It was a descriptive retrospective study, in which we have included twenty patients who presented with hepatitis in the pediatric department of a secondary level care centre in Sagar from May to July 2021. And we investigated them further to find out the cause of Hepatitis. Among the 20 patients with HEPATITIS, 15 were tested for covid antibody levels, out of them 14 had raised level of SARS-CoV-2 antibody titre. Pediatricians should recognize that the clinical spectrum of COVID-19 in children can be wider than previously described, often with hepatitis as late manifestation of COVID-19 in children, apart from MIS-C.

Published: December 2023

Oxidative stress, hypoxia, and ischemia are considered prime factors in the pathogenesis of epilepsy. Hyperuricemia (HU) is a common incidental finding in epileptic patients, but the importance of HU as a risk factor in epilepsy is debated. Many hypothetical mechanisms that link HU to increased oxidative stress in epilepsy have been put forward. This research aimed to evaluate the role of serum Ischemia Modified Albumin (IMA) level and serum uric acid (UA) level as a preliminary biomarker in the diagnosis of epilepsy.: The present cross-sectional research was conducted on 25 individuals having epilepsy and 25 healthy individuals. Serum uric acid level had estimated by the uricase method. Serum IMA was evaluated by albumin cobalt binding assay to assess oxidative stress, hypoxia, and ischemia. Mean Serum UA and IMA level were found significantly high (p&#60;0.001) in epileptic group. In the epileptic group, 76 % (19/25) individuals had HU. Mean serum IMA was higher in epileptic individuals with HU compared to epileptic individuals with normal serum UA levels. Correlation between serum UA level and serum IMA level was found positive among the study population. Serum UA showed a significant odd ratio to predict epilepsy on binary logistic analysis.: The present study revealed that serum UA levels and IMA levels escalated in epileptic patients. Thus, serum UA levels and IMA levels can be deemed as preliminary biomarkers for the diagnosis of epilepsy.

Authors: Jaiswal Sarita , K Ramana 
Published: December 2023

In spite of availability of procedures which are less invasive for hysterectomy, some prefer abdominal approach for the hysterectomy (TAH). Laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) is useful for the patients, as they recover fast and the convalescence period is reduced.To compare and evaluate three different methods of hysterectomy for benign gynecological disorders with regard to time for recovery, outcome after surgery, cost-effectiveness and complications due to surgery.Prospective study conducted on 90 patients who underwent hysterectomy for benign gynecological conditions. Patients were assigned to either TAH (n=30), TLH (n=30) or Vaginal hysterectomy (VH) (n=30), with or without salpingo-oophorectomy. All patients presenting in the gynecology OPD with indications for hysterectomy with or without salpingo-oophorectomy were included. Pre-operative parameters like age, basal metabolic index, intra-operative and post-operative parameters like reduction in hemoglobin etc. were compared in three groups.The mean blood loss, Time from surgery to tolerance of normal diet (days), Time from surgery to unassisted ambulation (days), post-operative pain score on day 3, mean reduction in hemoglobin and duration of hospital stay (days) were significantly (p&#60;0.05) higher in patients who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy compared to total laparoscopic or vaginal hysterectomy. In terms of intra-operative and post-operative complications, operative time, hospital bill and satisfaction score the differences were not significant statistically (p&#62;0.05). Total laparoscopic hysterectomy and vaginal hysterectomy are safe and less invasive alternative, compared to abdominal hysterectomy, and show significantly better post-operative reconstitution

Published: December 2023

Standard precautions are the backbone of any efficient infection control program. Compliance with standard precautions has been a major challenge for health care workers, especially in developing countries. To access the impact of the training program on health care workers (HCW) knowledge, attitude, and practice towards standard precautions. We conducted an interventional Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) study among 150 HCW (50 Doctors, 50 Nurses, and 50 Technicians) in a tertiary care hospital from June 2019 to December 2019. We carried out educational interventions through training sessions with pre- and post-test questionnaires. We compared pre and post questionnaire mean scores to access the impact of short educational videos and seminars on HCWs using unpaired t-tests.HCWs have poor KAP on important aspects of standard precautions. Pre-intervention KAP mean scores were highest among doctors, followed by lab technicians and nurses. After training intervention, improvement in knowledge, attitude, and practice among all 3 types of HCWs were statistically significant (P-value &#60;0.005, unpaired t-test). Low pre-intervention knowledge and attitude practice scores regarding standard precautions among doctors, nurses, and lab technicians were improved after training significantly. Hence, we recommend training programs regarding standard precautions should be regularly conducted in health-care facilities to promote good infection control practices and mitigate the risk of hospital-acquired infection. This has future implications in terms of reduced morbidity and mortality in resource limited settings.

Published: December 2023

The study covered the leaves of 25 varieties of highbush blueberry Vaccinium corymbosum L. Determinations were performed for phenolic acid (chlorogenic, neochlorogenic, cryptochlorogenic, 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic and 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acids), flavonoid (catechin, rutin, isoquercetin), arbutin and hydroquinone content. The content of phenolic acids and flavonoids in the test material suggests that highbush blueberry leaves can be a potentially good material for dietary supplement production, although the relatively high arbutin content (exceeding 4% in the case of the Bonus, Chantiklee and Herbert varieties) limits this possibility to herbal medicinal products applied in case of health issues for a limited time, similar to other over-the-counter arbutin products (bearberry Arctostaphylos uva-ursi and lingonberry Vaccinium vitis-idaea leaves).

Published: December 2023

Abstract
The processing of anatase ores by sulfuric acid digestion is well known for its low titanium dissolution yields, which makes the process economically and technically unfeasible. Generally, to enhance the dissolution of titanium from anatase, thermal processes along with acid and/or alkaline leaching are necessary. Few existing works report yields of direct digestion of anatase with sulfuric acid &lt;48%. This study investigated the sulfuric digestion of anatase and yields around 80% were obtained at relatively mild conditions such as temperature at 220°C, sulfuric acid/concentrate ratio of 1:2 and 3 hours of reaction. A comprehensive characterization of anatase ore was also presented.

Published: December 2023

It is shown that sulfur dioxide is one of the most common components of harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
It is presented that a large amount of SO2 is emitted into the atmosphere in the production of sulfuric acid, during the combustion of fuel in thermal power plants, in modern production of surfactants.
Sulfur dioxide has been shown to be responsible for the formation of acid rain, which is one of the most common forms of pollution worldwide.
The transport of sulfur compounds over long distances leads to the deposition of sulfur dioxide in soils and waterways.
It is known that all known methods of waste gas purification are divided into three main groups: ammonia methods, SO2 neutralization methods, catalytic methods.
In the general case, absorption methods are divided into open and circulating cleaning schemes.
It is shown that ammonia-acid methods are economical, but require the cost of a scarce product – ammonia.
The ammonia-sulfuric acid method consists in the treatment of ammonium bisulfite with sulfuric acid.
When using the ammonia-phosphorus-acid method, phosphorus methods and sulfuric acid are formed.
The soda method is based on the absorption of sulfur dioxide by a suspension of CaO.
The lime method is based on the absorption of sulfur dioxide by a suspension of CaO.
It is shown that when using a sodium hydroxide solution as an absorbent, both open-loop and circulating cleaning schemes are used.
Open circuits are characterized by simple hardware design, as well as low energy for cleaning.
It has been shown that catalytic methods for cleaning exhaust gases do not require the use of an absorbent. However, it is necessary to use an expensive catalyst. More often, this method is used at the first stage of cleaning, and at the second – the above methods of cleaning.
A table with comparative technical and economic indicators is given.
It is shown that for the production of surfactants it is better to use open-loop purification schemes.
It is suggested that sodium hydroxide solution can be chosen as the absorbent. With the content of small amounts of sodium sulfite in a solution of sodium hydroxide, it can be used as a neutralizing agent in the neutralization of sulfation products.
