Published: October 2023

Objective: To identify the risk factors predisposing to the Morbidly Adherent Placenta and to evaluate maternal outcomes in those patients.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Combined Military Hospital, Lahore Pakistan, from Jan to Dec 2021.
Methodology: A total of 18 females with a clinical diagnosis of the morbidly adherent placenta, irrespective of age and several previous scars, having singleton foetuses with more than 26 weeks gestational age, were included in the study. Patients’ particulars including demographic data, gestational age, number of previous uterine scars, type of placenta, treatment option and the outcome, were collected.
Results: The frequency of morbidly adherent placenta was 4.06 per 1000 deliveries. The mean age of patients was 31.06±2.48 years, whereas the mean gestational age was 35.5±1.15 weeks. The mean parity was 3.5±0.71. Out of 18 patients with morbidly adherent placenta, 3(16.7%) had four caesarean scars, 8(44.4%) had three previous caesarean scars, and 7(38.9%) had two previous caesarean scars. Associated placenta previa was present in 14(77.8%) patients. Hysterectomy was done in 15(83.3%) patients, while in 3(16.6%) patients uterus was preserved. The bladder was repaired in 12(66.6%) patients with post-op catheterisation for three weeks. There was no maternal mortality.
Conclusion: Previous caesarean scar and placenta previa are major risk factors for the morbidly adherent placenta. Wellestablished antenatal diagnosis with timely surgical intervention can prevent long-term complications.Keywords: Caesarean section, Placenta previa, Placenta accreta, Placenta increta, Placenta percreta.

Objective: To compare the conservative management of pancreatic pseudocyst with active surgical intervention.Study Design: Case series study.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of General Surgery Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from Jan 2020 to Apr 2021.
Methodology: A total of 40 patients with pancreatic pseudocysts were included. The size of the pseudocysts, patients’ age,gender, lifestyle risk factors and possible aetiology were recorded. Conservative management was offered initially. The nonregressing and complicated pseudocysts were treated surgically via radiology-assisted external drainage or surgical drainage. Relevant data via close follow-up was recorded.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 61±8.89 years. The pseudocyst size ranged from 4-17cm (median 10cm). Conservative treatment was efficacious in 15(37.5%) with shorter hospital stays (p-value<0.001). All remained pain-free during the one-year follow-up. Surgical intervention was required in 25(62.5%). Radiology-assisted external drainage employed in 15(60%), proved advantageous in 14(93.4%) patients. Recurrence was seen in one patient (6.6%). Other complications included abscess and sepsis. Surgical drainage was used in 10(40%) individuals. Complications included sepsis, abscess and intractable pain. Cumulative intervention-related complications were far higher than conservative management (14,56%, p-value 0.01).The thirty-day mortality in the study patients was 5%, all following surgical intervention.
Conclusion: Conservative management can be successfully employed to avoid the adverse sequelae associated with active interventions.Keywords: Complications, Conservative management, Pancreatic pseudocyst, Radiological intervention, Surgical intervention

Abstract
Interpreting the book of Revelation requires careful exegesis on its own, but exegetical issues multiply when one attempts to draw out its pneumatology. Through theological interpretation and pro-Nicene categories, this article will demonstrate one way to understand the book of Revelation’s contribution to an articulation of the Holy Spirit’s eternal procession.
La mayor resiliencia de la economía española frente al área del euro en 2023: el papel de la composición sectorial
Authors: Fernández Cerezo Alejandro , Kataryniuk Iván , Rodríguez Francisco José 
Published: October 2023

Motivación
En un contexto de mayor debilidad de la actividad global y del área del euro, en el tiempo transcurrido de 2023 la economía española ha mostrado una resiliencia notable en comparación con otras economías europeas. El objetivo de este artículo es ilustrar algunos de los factores que explican esta mayor fortaleza.
Ideas principales
•Las diferencias entre la composición sectorial de la economía española y la del área del euro justificarían una parte del mayor dinamismo reciente de la actividad en nuestro país.
•La exposición comercial de España a China —cuya desaceleración reciente es uno de los principales factores de la ralentización económica global— es menor que la de otras economías del área del euro.
•El mantenimiento de un mejor comportamiento de la economía española en relación con la del área del euro en los próximos trimestres dependerá, entre otros factores, de cómo se traslade el menor crecimiento esperado de las manufacturas a los servicios o de si se materializa una pérdida de dinamismo del turismo.

Published: October 2023

To compare isobaric levobupivacaine versus hyperbaric bupivacaine for pregnant women who have undergone cesarean sections. In this randomized controlled trial, 70 patients with ASA physical status I-II, scheduled i.e for elective lower segment cesarean section (LSCS), were divided into two equal-sized groups (n = 35 each). Group A was treated with 2.5 ml of isobaric levobupivacaine, while Group B was treated with 2.5 ml of hyperbaric bupivacaine. Both groups' sensory and motor block features were evaluated using the pinprick test and the Bromage scale. Additionally, any instances of hypotension and potential side effects were meticulously recorded. Subsequently, the collected data underwent statistical analysis employing appropriate tests. The initiation of sensory blockage was observed to be slower, and the regression duration for two segments was extended while using isobaric levobupivacaine (p < 0.001). Nevertheless, it generated sufficient surgical anesthetic with a reduced duration of motor blocking and fewer side effects compared to hyperbaric bupivacaine. This study concludes that single-shot spinal anesthesia with different local anesthetics is effective for prompt surgical anesthesia induction in elective cesarean section procedures. Among these options, levobupivacaine is a superior choice due to its smaller duration of motor block, reduced side effects, and lower risk of hypotension, making it particularly well-suited for such procedures.

Published: October 2023

In the present study, we have constructed a frequency of occurrence of rainfall over each sub-catchment of the Godavari river catchment using the synoptic analogue method for the years 2012-2019. Using the Frequency of the Areal average precipitations the model is verified for the AAP of the synoptic situations for the years 2020. The model has observed the 62% percentage of correct for the monsoon season 2020 and it gives the 90% correct to 50-100 and >100 AAP events. Using the frequency of the AAP events w have constructed the percentage of probability of the AAP of the synoptic events which occur over the Sub-basin. This model is generally accurate for the generation of QPF before the 24hr provided the synoptic conditions over the Region which will be very helpful to facilitate the 48hrs forecast to the flood forecasters and end-users like the central Water commission and Disaster management authorities.

Published: October 2023

The present study encompasses the performance of Land Surface Model (LSM) physics on simulation of Tropical Cyclones (TCs) key characteristics - track, mean sea level pressure (MSLP), maximum sustained wind (MSW) and rainfall. The impact of four LSM schemes - Thermal Diffusion, Noah, RUC and Noah-MP, is evaluated for the simulation of Severe Cyclonic Storm (SCS) ‘Vardah’ that crossed Tamil Nadu coast, near Chennai on 12 December, 2016 and Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storms (ESCS) ‘Fani’ that crossed Odisha coast, close to Puri on 03 May, 2019.
For this purpose, the Advanced Weather Research and Forecasting (ARW) model, configured with a single domain of 9 km horizontal resolution covering the Bay of Bengalis considered. The initial and lateral boundary conditions to the model integration are taken from National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Final Analysis (FNL). The model simulated track is verified with India Meteorological Department (IMD) observed track for both the cases. The model simulated MSW and MSLP at the landfall location is validated with IMD best estimation along with fifth generation European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Re-analysis (ERA5) products. The rainfall associated with both the cyclones are compared with ERA5 and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) rainfall for its validation.

The track of TCs Vardah and Fani are well simulated with all the four land surface schemes with reasonable accuracy in landfall position and time of landfall of the systems. The Along Track Error (ATE) and Cross Track Error (CTE) are minimal for the unified Noah LSM scheme. The landfall position error (about 2 km only) is significantly improved with the unified Noah scheme. In case of rainfall forecast, LSMs tend to overestimate the rainfall during landfall of both systems. It is also noticed that overestimation is more towards inland than on the coast. Out of all four LSMs, rainfall estimation from the RUC is closest to the GPM and ERA5 rainfall estimates during landfall. In addition to this, RUC scheme intensifies the cyclones in terms of MSLP and MSW during the landfall of the system as compared to the other parameterization schemes.

Industrial Process and Modern Technical Adaptations for Nylon 6 Monomer Caprolactam: A Mini Review
Authors: HUANG Jing , LIU Qimin , WU Wangcheng , MA Yuehong , HUANG Jianhui 
Published: October 2023

Caprolactam is in high demand in the new materials industry as a monomer for nylon and polyamides. Although the schemes of traditional processes such as hydroxylamine production (hydroxylamine sulphate oxime process, hydroxylamine phosphate oxime process, nitric oxide reduction process) and cyclohexanone production were still involved in the caprolactam production industry, the modern technical adaptations achieved higher atomic utilisation and higher selectivity. In this review, the basic traditional schemes for the production of caprolactam are for the first time presented. The modern technical adaptation, the rectification dehydrogenation of the by-product cyclohexane in cyclohexanone production, was highlighted to achieve an increase in atomic utilisation from 78 % to 98 %. The higher selectivity achieved with membrane separation resulted in a conversion of cyclohexanone of > 99.6 % and a selectivity of cyclohexanone oxime of > 99.5 %. In addition, the progress of the catalysts used in the modern technical adaptation was briefly discussed. This review highlights the modern process with atom economy and high selectivity.
