Implantable Collamer Lens in Management of Unilateral High Myopia After Pseudophakia for Traumatic Cataract: Piggybacking With Two Lenses in the Sulcus
Authors: Arora Ritu , Hariani Avani , Jain Parul , Gupta Isha 
Published: October 2023

Purpose:
To describe the management of unilateral high myopia after pseudophakia for traumatic cataract by piggybacking an Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) (V4C ICL; STAAR Surgical) along with a primary intraocular lens (IOL) in the sulcus.

Methods:
A 24-year-old woman underwent lens aspiration with non-foldable IOL implantation in the sulcus at 5 years of age for post-traumatic cataract. She had regular follow-up for 21 years and developed unilateral high myopia. She was using contact lenses and wanted laser vision correction. An Implantable Collamer Lens in the sulcus was used to manage the unilateral high myopia in this pseudophakic patient with a rigid IOL in the sulcus.

Results:
Her corneal thickness was less than 500 µm. Except for raised intraocular pressure in the immediate postoperative period, she had uneventful postoperative recovery. Her uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) at 4 weeks improved to 6/9. The patient was followed up for 7 months and had a UDVA of 6/9, intraocular pressure on Goldmann applanation tonometry of 14 mm Hg, adequate vault height (1.057 mm), good anterior chamber depth (1.739 mm), and no deposits on either of the lenses.

Conclusions:
An ICL can be used over a primary IOL in the sulcus for the correction of ametropia, although additional cases need to be evaluated for the proper sizing and results in similar patients.

Morphometric Analysis of Dry Human Patella – A Cross-Sectional Observational Study from Kashmir, North India
Authors: Jan Shah Sumaya , Syed Mubashir Yousuf , Saleem Sheikh Mohd 
Published: October 2023

Background:
The kneecap, also called the patella, is located in front of the knee joint and protects it from injury. It is the most prominent sesamoid bone of the body and is embedded in the quadriceps tendon. The purpose of this study is to perform a detailed morphometric examination of the patella and compare it to specimens from the right and left sides of the patella.

Methods:
In this cross-sectional observational study, 40 dried patellae were collected from the Department of Anatomy, Government Medical College, Srinagar, of which 21 were right-sided and 19 were left-sided specimens. Height, width, and thickness of the patella; length and width of the articular facets on the medial and lateral sides; and length of the central ridge were among the parameters examined in the study.

Results:
The mean height, width, and thickness of the patella specimens were 4.10 cm, 2.01 cm, and 4.10 cm, respectively, according to morphometric analysis. The dimensions of the articular facet on the lateral side were found to be statistically different from the dimensions of the articular facet on the medial side, with P = 0.05 considered statistically significant. According to Koyunco's classification, 87.5% of the patella specimens belonged to type B.

Conclusion:
The morphometric analysis of the patella in this study may help to design implants for reconstruction and guide orthopedic surgeons in reconstructive and fixation surgery of the patella.

Authors: Sevdi MS , Erkalp K , Ozalp A , Ozcan FG , Demirgan S , Akyol O , Guneyli HC , Tunali MC , Selcan A 
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:
Convalescent plasma (CP) therapy can be defined as a passive immunity transfer approach involving the administration of plasma for therapeutic purposes to inpatients hospitalized due to an active virus infection. Passive immunity antibodies can reduce target organ damage and directly neutralize the responsible pathogens. A limited number of studies on the use of CP have reported that critically ill patients can benefit from CP therapy.

Aim:
We aimed in this study as the outcomes of CP therapy in critically ill coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients in intensive care unit (ICU) and determine the differences between the recovery and mortality groups.

Patients and Methods:
This retrospective design study involved critically ill patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia or who were suspected of having COVID-19 in the ICU between April 1, 2020, and June 1, 2020. Comorbidity of patients, respiratory findings, hemodynamic data, laboratory data, and poor prognostic measures were compared between mortality and recovery group.

Results:
Convalescent plasma (CP) therapy was supplied for 41 (13.58%) patients in total of 302 COVID-19 patients. Twenty-nine patients were died in total of 41 COVID-19 patients who supplied CP therapy. The mortality rate is 70.73% in CP therapy. There was a significantly higher incidence (P < 0.021) of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and significantly lower mean arterial pressure (MAP) values in mortality group (P < 0.05). There were significantly higher NLR values (P < 0.05), lower platelet count (P < 0.05), lower of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) level (P < 0.05), higher creatinine values (P < 0.05), higher lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels (P < 0.05), higher D-dimer levels (P < 0.05), higher level of pro-brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) (P = 0.000), rate of fever (P = 0.031), arrythmia (P = 0.024), and transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO) (P = 0.008) were more often in mortality group.

Conclusion:
Convalescent plasma therapy seems not useful in critically ill COVID-19 patients.
Design and analysis of highly selective ultrawide stopband lowpass filter using lumped and distributed equivalent circuit models
Authors: Tomar Pankaj Singh , Parihar Manoj Singh 
Published: October 2023

AbstractAn ultrawide stopband lowpass filter is reported using three stepped impedance resonators with high selectivity. The filter extends the stopband frequency range and attenuation, and two quarter‐wave open stubs and three circular ground slots are introduced. The lumped and distributed equivalent models are derived and analyzed. The corresponding results are validated experimentally in a fabricated prototype. The prototype lowpass filter has a 3 dB cutoff frequency (fc) of 2.9 GHz, and the stopband is extended up to 35 GHz (12.07fc), with an attenuation level better than 20 dB throughout. The passband‐to‐stopband transition (3 dB–20 dB) bandwidth is 0.18 GHz, and the roll‐off factor is 135 dB/GHz at 30 dB. The insertion loss is 0.3 dB at 1.6 GHz. The normalized circuit size of the proposed filter with respect to the guided wavelength is 0.04.
The Need for Reform towards Comprehensive Legislation on Court Annexed ADR in Ethiopia
Authors: Samuel Ephrem  
Published: October 2023

In spite of various legal reform measures in Ethiopia, delay in the judicial process, predictability and access are still challenges of utmost concern. This article examines whether court annexed ADR can serve as an effective reform measure to lessen these judicial problems. Compared with litigation and private ADR, court annexed ADR‘s institutional merits and procedural advantages –in resolving certain civil suits within reasonable time, less cost and improved fairness– are examined. I argue that settlement of civil disputes through court annexed ADR reduces courts’ caseloads. Such reduction of case load in courts can significantly improve litigation processes and enables courts to resolve other civil suits within reduced time, cost and quality. Moreover, the referral to ADR by courts enables disputants to choose and access dispute resolution methods. However, lack of comprehensive national regulation, inadequate awareness, ineffective administration and execution, are among the potential challenges in the optimal utilization of this dispute resolution tool. It is argued that there is the need for a comprehensive law on court annexed ADR. And subsequently, courts can carefully implement court annexed ADR with the requisite level of competence and diligence to minimize the challenges.

Assessing the importance of hypsometry for catchment soil erosion: A case study of the Yanze watershed, Rwanda
Authors: Gashakamba Faustin , Wali Umaru Garba , Byizigiro Vaillant Rutazuyaza 
Published: October 2023

Implementing a watershed erosion control programme requires resource-intensive and time-consuming preliminary studies to prioritize such interventions and to focus on those sub-catchments where they are most likely to yield the most effective results.
In this study, we explore and document the effectiveness of using hypsometric analysis as a method to prioritize erosion control measures and apply it to the Yanze watershed located in central Rwanda.
Based on a 30m-resolution DEM of the watershed and using ArcGIS and R software, we made estimates of hypsometric integral values and calculated soil loss estimates through RUSLE modelling and by using data from different sources, namely the Rwanda Meteorological Agency (rainfall data), ISRIC (soil data), and Sentinel-2 images (land cover maps).
The hypsometric integral values of the Yanze sub-catchments were high, ranging from 0.5 to 0.936. This, combined with the overall convex upward hypsometric curves, indicates that the Yanze watershed is still at a youthful stage in its erosional cycle.
The results of the RUSLE model showed that the average potential soil loss in the Yanze watershed is 55.63 tonnes.ha-1.year-1, which is comparable to the national average estimated at 62 tonnes.ha-1.year-1.
The correlation analysis that we conducted between the hypsometric integral values of the Yanze sub-catchments and their respective mean soil loss values revealed no correlation between the two variables. From the results of this study, we conclude that in watersheds where lithology affects soil erosion significantly, morphology can indeed indicate the potential for erosion. However, we further concluded that future studies to characterize erosion potential using morphometry should employ additional morphometric parameters in the regression model.

Published: October 2023

Background and Objective. Neuroanatomy is both terrifying to learn and problematic to teach, and the different methods of neuroanatomical education have their own strengths and weaknesses. In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated the perception of undergraduate medical students towards the combined use of plastinated and formalinpreserved brain specimen in their neuroanatomy course.Methods. A bridging program was designed for students whose medical education was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in order to reinforce the knowledge and understanding of anatomy that they acquired in a virtual environment. A total of 175 first year medical students participated in this learning activity, which included seven stations in neuroanatomy spread across two hours, and covered the anatomy of the circle of Willis, brainstem, cranial nerves, spinal cord, internal cerebrum, and external cerebrum. To evaluate short-term learning, the students were asked to take a quiz containing 10 multiple-choice questions before and after the learning activity. In addition, the students also answered a survey containing 11 Likert-type questions asking about their perception of the learningactivity.
Results. Following the learning activity, mean test scores increased from 4.73 (SD 1.74) to 5.32 (SD 1.52; mean difference 0.59, p = 0.008). Majority of the students (mean 81%, range 43-93%) had a neutral or positive perception of plastinated brain specimen, and on factor analysis, plastinated brain specimen were found to be both practical and useful for learning neuroanatomy. However, the participants perceived plastinated brain specimen alone to be insufficient for learning neuroanatomy, and a multimodal approach to learning neuroanatomy is ideal.
Conclusion. Plastinated brain specimens were found to be an effective complement to formalin-preservedbrain, and these should be used by medical schools when designing neuroanatomy learning activities fortheir students.

В статье представлены двухлетние результаты исследований по выявлению, в условиях сухой степи Северного Казахстана, оптимальных сроков посева, норм высева льна масличного Кустанайский янтарь на двух фонах питания Р0 и Р90. Элементы продуктивности растения льна масличного Кустанайский янтарь (число коробочек, масса семян растения, число семян срастения, масса 1000 семян), на удобренном фоне формировались при относительно равномерном соотношении, незначительное преобладание проявлялось в развитии такого элемента структуры урожая как: масса 1000 семян (М1000 - 24.8-29,8% от всей продуктивности растения) и массы семян с растения (Мс - 21,7-26,3%). На неудобренном фоне в продуктивности растения доминировала масса 1000 семян (32,5- 37,9%). Формула продуктивности растения на контрольном варианте (без удобрений) представлена элементами – М1000, Чк (число коробочек с растения), Чс (число семян с растения), Мс (масса семян с растения), на удобренном фоне формула продуктивности выглядела - М1000, Мс,Чк,Чс. На неудобренном фоне уровень урожайности был значительно ниже и в среднем за два года составлял 11,0 ц/га, - на фоне Р90 -17,2ц/га. В засушливом 2021году наивысшая продуктивность льна масличного проявилась на удобренном (15,9 ц/га) и неудобренном (11,8ц/га) фонах при посеве 20.05 с нормой высева 5,0 млн в.с. на га. В более благоприятном по увлажнению 2022 году наибольшая продуктивность льна масличного (18,6ц/га) складывалась на посевах срока 15.05 с нормой 6,0 млн в.с. на га. Та же закономерность отмечалась на неудобренном фоне на таком же варианте с урожайностью 10,3 ц/га.
