Authors: Vallinayagam Muthu K. , Deepikadevi S.N. , Sainath Dipika , Balla Shravya C. 
Published: March 2023

PURPOSE:
The purpose of this study was to determine the demographic and clinical patterns of optic neuritis (ON) in patients presenting to a tertiary health-care institute and to study the incidence of multiple sclerosis (MS), magnetic resonance imaging features in varied ON, treatment outcome, and prognosis.

METHODS:
A retrospective analysis of patients with first episode of ON presenting to a tertiary care center during the period from March 2013 to March 2021 was done. Details of ocular examination were retrieved from medical records and statistically analyzed.

RESULTS:
Three hundred and fifty-four participants with ON were included in this study. The mean age was 40.25 ± 12.2 years. The male: female ratio was 1:1.35. 48.1% had visual acuity of <3/60. Based on clinical presentation, papillitis was seen in 31.5% of subjects, neuroretinitis in 24.1%, and retrobulbar neuritis in 44.4%. Based on etiology, 79.6% were idiopathic, 1.8% presented with infectious ON, and 9.26% were associated with demyelinating disease (MS).

CONCLUSION:
Females were predominantly affected. Idiopathic ON formed the major subset etiologically. Sixty-six percent had visual recovery of 6/18 or better following corticosteroid therapy. 9.2% revealed multiple intracranial lesions on neuroimaging, suggesting high association with MS. Therefore, early diagnosis, vigilant monitoring of steroid therapy, and regular follow-up screening for MS remain the mainstay of management in ON.

Authors: Abu-Ain Mohammad S. , Watts Patrick 
Published: March 2023

PURPOSE:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness and assess the risks associated with occlusive contact lenses (OCLs) use to treat refractory amblyopia in children who failed the conventional amblyopia treatment with patching and atropine penalization.

METHODS:
This was a retrospective case series of all children treated with an OCL in the sound eye over an 8-year period. Data were collected on the age, gender, and type of amblyopia, previous treatment received, and its duration. The compliance, tolerance, and adverse effects of OCL were recorded.

RESULTS:
There were 12 patients of which 10 were male. The mean age at the time of OCL use was 47.3 months (range 26–86 months). Anisometropic amblyopia was present in 1, combined anisometropia and strabismus in 3, strabismic amblyopia in 5, and stimulus deprivation amblyopia in 3. All patients had conventional patching for a mean period of 14 months, followed by atropine penalization in nine patients for a mean period of 4 months. The mean duration of OCL use ranged from 2 weeks to 6 months. There were nine patients with visual improvement (75%). The mean improvement seen was 0.4 log of the minimum angle of resolution. There was no occlusion amblyopia. Four patients had conjunctivitis; one had a peripheral corneal abrasion.

CONCLUSION:
The OCL is a useful adjunct in the treatment of amblyopia that is refractory to conventional treatment. The side effect profile is acceptable, but patients require close monitoring.

Authors: Gopalakrishnan Sarika , Negiloni Kalpa , Suganthan R Vivek , Velu Saranya , Raman Rajiv 
Published: March 2023

PURPOSE:
The objective of this study on patients with albinism in different age groups was to compare their level of visual impairment with the low-vision intervention (LVI) and its benefit.

METHODS:
The medical records of 72 patients with low vision secondary to albinism who were referred to the low vision care clinic from 2015 to 2017 were analyzed. This included the demographic profile such as age, gender, occupation, ocular history, visual acuity status, and type of low-vision device (LVD) preferred. The LVDs prescribed and its subsequent improvement was compared.

RESULTS:
In this data, 70 (97.2%) people had oculocutaneous albinism and 2 (2.8%) had ocular albinism. Majority of the patients had hyperopic astigmatism 42 (58.3%) and with-the-rule astigmatism 58 (93.5%). Presenting mean visual acuity for distance was noted to be 0.88 logMAR which improved to 0.83 logMAR with the help of spectacle correction. The most commonly prescribed LVD was a dome magnifier for 15 (34.9%) patients. In all the patients, there was statistically significant improvement (P < 0.05) in near vision with the help of LVDs.

CONCLUSION:
The study highlights the importance of appropriate LVI for each subdivided age group. Patients with albinism who have received medical and surgical treatment have no or a limited role in restoring useful vision.
Energy‐efficient semi‐supervised learning framework for subchannel allocation in non‐orthogonal multiple access systems
Authors: Devipriya S. , Martin Leo Manickam J. , Victoria Jancee B. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractNon‐orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is considered a key candidate technology for next‐generation wireless communication systems due to its high spectral efficiency and massive connectivity. Incorporating the concepts of multiple‐input‐multiple‐output (MIMO) into NOMA can further improve the system efficiency, but the hardware complexity increases. This study develops an energy‐efficient (EE) subchannel assignment framework for MIMO‐NOMA systems under the quality‐of‐service and interference constraints. This framework handles an energy‐efficient co‐training‐based semi‐supervised learning (EE‐CSL) algorithm, which utilizes a small portion of existing labeled data generated by numerical iterative algorithms for training. To improve the learning performance of the proposed EE‐CSL, initial assignment is performed by a many‐to‐one matching (MOM) algorithm. The MOM algorithm helps achieve a low complex solution. Simulation results illustrate that a lower computational complexity of the EE‐CSL algorithm helps significantly minimize the energy consumption in a network. Furthermore, the sum rate of NOMA outperforms conventional orthogonal multiple access.

Authors: Pragati Saxena  , Anuradha Roy  , Binay Sen  
Published: March 2023

Cervical erosion is caused by the replacement of the stratified squamous epithelium of the ectocervix with the endocervical columnar epithelium. In Ayurvedic classics, it can be co-related to garbhashayagrivagatavrana. Its management mainly includes destruction of overgrown epithelium by different techniques has its own limitations and side effects. Further observing its prevalence there is a requirement for a treatment modality which is more efficient and cost-effective. Kshara which possesses lekhana (scrapping), vrana-shodhana (wound cleansing), and ropana (wound healing) properties as described in Ayurveda, provides a scientific background of the therapeutic application in the management. Different review works revealed the potential use of kshara on wound healing due to its alkalinity which maintain the body pH within the normal range and thus maintains different cellular and extracellular function. Therefore, kshara is found to be an important preparation that has been investigated for its gynecological uses by different scholars.

Published: March 2023

The role of B cells in skin inflammation highlights the versatility of B cells in their response to diverse immune stimuli perceived as external threats to the host. B cells play a vital role in the immune system’s ability to effectively respond to offenses to the healthy skin microenvironment, such as wounds, malignant tumors, vector (tick)-borne pathogens, and the development of red meat allergies after a tick bite. Select examples from the literature that illustrate the role of B cells in these disrupted states reviewed individually below, and highlight little overlap in the role B cells play in the different diseases. Future studies will need to continue to research the relatively newfound role of B cells in maintaining healthy skin.

Authors: Machuca-Aguado Jesús , Carrero-García Belén , Rodríguez-Zarco Enrique 
Published: March 2023

Descripción del caso: Varón de 68 años con un cuadro de síndrome constitucional secundario a un absceso en el psoas, que en el TAC se le diagnosticó incidentalmente una posible lesión neoplásica. En la cistoscopia se identifica una neoformación polipoide que se extirpa en su totalidad mediante resección transuretral, siendo diagnosticada de tumor de células granulares de vejiga.

Relevancia: El tumor de células granulares es una neoplasia poco frecuente, con tan solo 27 casos en vejiga descritos. Estas lesiones son mayoritariamente benignas, aunque han sido descritos casos de naturaleza maligna. Debido a su presentación de forma asintomática, existe un infradiagnóstico de estas lesiones, que se traduce en la falta de información clínica y terapéutica, sin la existencia de guías para su manejo.

Implicaciones clínicas: Es importante conocer las características clínicas e histológicas de esta patología porque su clínica puede ser similar a la de algunas neoplasias de la vejiga; también es importante conocer la entidad para llevar a cabo un correcto tratamiento, teniendo en cuenta su característica tendencia a la recurrencia.

Conclusión: A pesar de ser lesiones infrecuentes, debido a su tendencia a la recurrencia y a su posible naturaleza maligna es importante tenerlas en cuenta.
INTEGRATION OF SPATIAL DATA REPRESENTING BUILDINGS BY DETERMINING THE DEGREE OF SIMILARITY
Authors: Ďuračiová Renata , Igondová Magdaléna 
Published: March 2023

Spatial data integration is the process of combining heterogeneous data to make them compatible, maintain data accuracy and actuality, minimize redundancy, and avoid data conflicts. Identification of spatial objects is one of the most important tasks in spatial data integration. In this paper, we propose to use determination of the similarity measures for assessment of spatial object identification. The result is an implementation of the proposed procedure into the geographic information system. In the case study we update the ZBGIS® database by the data from the real estate cadastre system. The innovation of the presented method is that the proposed process and the new implemented software tools are based on determination of the similarity measures such as the Dice similarity index and the Jaccard similarity coefficient with its modification as the Tanimoto similarity coefficient.

Authors: Dani Sasmoko  , Reni Veliyanti  , Rozi Azwar Pradana  
Published: March 2023

IoT technology is useful for chicken farming to control the condition of the farm concerning some problems such as odour, temperature fluctuations and feeding time system. This study used MQ135 to detect ammonia odour level, DHT11 to check room temperature, and RTC3231 to regulate feeding time. The data obtained from the sensor was sent by wemos to the fire base and MySQL to be read on android so that it can be monitored directly by the breeder. When the ammonia level is above normal it will turn on the odour fan. If DHT11 reaches the value above 300C, it will turn on the cooling fan, and turn on the heating light when the temperature is below 250C. As RTC3231 sets the time at 07.00 and 14.00, the chicken feeder will automatically open to feed the chickens according to the time set. Table 1 and 2 show that the experiment obtained a value of 100% working well. This study succeeded in monitoring environmental conditions through Android and executing automatic feeding at the predetermined time. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of IoT technology for monitoring and feeding system automation in chicken farms is highly recommended.

Abstract:
When the Quran was reveled upon the Holy Prophet (S.A.W), the companion of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) focused to serve it from various aspects. Some of them were known for expertise of its words while other was for its meanings and interpretation. This method was carried out for two hundred years, and every aspect of the sciences of the Holy Quran formed to be a separate science. One of them was Tafseer i.e. interpretation of the Holy Quran. A lot of scholars were known as “Mufassireen” i.e. the interpreters. One of them was Ibn-i-abi-Hathim who born in 240 AH and got knowledge from the shining scholars of his era and also known for his several well-known expertise and contributions toward Islamic Sciences. He written down a book named as Tafseer Ibn-i-Abi-Hathim. Wherein, he collected the narrative style of interpretation of the Holy Quran and so on his book occupied a great status amongst the interpretations with chain of narrators i.e. تفسیر بالماثور. As it is clear that a scholar at that time was to be known by a huge number and authenticity of his teachers he learned from. He has many teachers of Tafseer, from whom he got the knowledge of tafseer and narrated it in his tafseer. This number is very huge, but we have chosen some selected scholars from whom Ibn-i-Abi-Hathim narrated in his tafseer, to make them introduce to the readers. Furthermore, as it is a case study of a specific area amongst his all teachers, that is why, we’ve acquired descriptive method of research in this article. First we discussed their names in alphabetical order strengthened by their narrations from his tafseer. And at the end the conclusions of the research have been given. This will help the new scholars in sorting out such areas, and will make them know elaborate such kind of questionable areas.

Pennsylvanian brachiopods and biostratigraphy in southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains, New Mexico
Authors: Sutherland P. K. , Harlow F. H. 
Published: March 2023

Pennsylvanian marine strata are exposed extensively in the southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains of north-central New Mexico. The area studied extends from Santa Fe and Lamy in the south to Taos in the north. The Pennsylvanian strata show marked lateral changes in thickness and lithology from a thin, predominantly carbonate shelf facies in the south to a thick, predominantly terrigenous trough facies in the north. The combined thickness of the La Pasada and Alamitos Formation is 2,200 feet in the south; the Flechado and Alamitos Formations are greater than 6,500 feet in the north. The Morrow, Atoka, and Des Moines Series are particularly well represented.Analysis of the regional Pennsylvanian stratigraphy of the area would have been impossible without a detailed study of the brachiopod faunas that form the most common element in the megafaunas of the Pennsylvanian System. Correlations in the middle and upper parts of the Pennsylvanian (upper Atokan to Virgilian) were aided by detailed information provided by the fusulinids, where they occur, and in the lower part of the section (Morrowan) by the conodonts.This study provides a better understanding of the evolutionary relationships of the brachiopod faunas in the lower parts of the Pennsylvanian System. It documents for the first time the marked evolutionary changes that occur in many brachiopod groups between the Morrow and lower Des Moines Series, and to some extent between the Morrowan and Atokan. In contrast, rates of change are comparatively slow in most brachiopod groups higher in the Pennsylvanian, in the Des Moines, Missouri, and Virgil Series.Ninety-four species belonging to 42 genera of brachiopods are described. Three new generic names are proposed, Sandia, Tesuquea and Zia. Twenty-nine new species and subspecies are described: "Orbiculoidea" youngi, Rhipidomella trapezoida, Derbyia bonita, Neochonetes henryi, Neochonetes whitei, Mesolobus profundus, Kozlowskia montgomeryi, Desmoinesia nambeensis, Sandia brevis, Sandia santafeensis, Pulchratia? pustulosa, Pulchratia? picuris, Buxtonia grandis, Tesuquea formosa, Horridonia? daltonensis, Linoproductus devargasi, Linoproductus pumilus, Zia novamexicana, Composita umbonata, Cleiothyridina milleri, Neospirifer tewaensis, Anthracospirifer curvilateralis tanoensis, Anthracospirifer curvilateralis chavezae, Anthracospirifer mcalesteri, Spiriferellina ceres, Punctospirifer morrowensis, Beecheria daltonensis, Beecheria stehlii, and Beecheria gerberi.
Geology and mineral technology of the Grants uranium region 1979
Authors: Rautman Christopher A. 
Published: March 2023

The continued expansion of national energy programs has resulted in new growth and exploration in the Grants uranium region. This volume includes 45 papers and expanded papers plus four abstracts, all given at the 1979 Grants Uranium Symposium, Albuquerque, New Mexico.The first "Symposium on the Geology of the Grants Uranium Region" was held as a field conference sponsored by the Society of Economic Geologists in 1961. One of the Lasting results of this conference was the 1963 publication of New Mexico Bureau of Mines and Mineral Resources Memoir 15. Through the years since 1963, this volume has remained an authoritative reference to the geology of this prolific mineral belt in northwestern New Mexico. Despite the continuing usefulness of Memoir 15, the tremendous development of the Grants mineral belt since 1963 has resulted in an expansion both of ore reserves and of our knowledge of the deposits. By the mid-1970s, many people working in the area felt that a revision of Memoir 15 was needed. Late in 1977, a decision was made to convene a new conference and to solicit papers from geologists working in the area.The response to the call for papers was extremely gratifying. Geologists from across the country rose to the occasion, and, despite full-time duties elsewhere, submitted literally dozens of papers. Contributing authors represented all facets of geologic endeavor: industry, government, academic institutions, and private individuals. The symposium attracted over 800 geologists and other scientists, including representatives from six foreign countries. Forty-six papers were presented at the 1979 symposium. The present volume comprises these papers plus an additional three. The papers cover the broad spectrum of Grants region geology, including discussions of exploration history and methods, individual deposits and regional phenomena, and petrographic investigations and field studies. More peripheral but vitally related topics such as severance taxes, ground-water hydrology, and experimental studies also are included. Although no attempt has been made to compile a total synthesis of knowledge in the Grants uranium region, the hope is that this memoir may serve as a reference work to the region for many years to come.
