Published: May 2023

Background:
Even though excess mortality in patients with severe mental disorders (SMD) has been established in many high-income countries, literature on this from the low- and middle-income countries including India is rather scant. Our study seeks to estimate the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) of patients with SMD from a rural community in Tamil Nadu for the years 2011–2015.

Materials and Methods:
We included patients with SMD from four taluks of Pudukkottai district, Tamil Nadu, during the years 2011–2015. We collected information on a total number of patients with SMD registered, their sociodemographic details, alive/dead status, and cause of death from the clinic registers and patient case records. We used the crude death rates for rural Tamil Nadu for the years 2011–2015 for the calculation of SMR, which is calculated by the formula observed deaths/expected deaths.

Results:
The SMR of patients with SMD was 3.33, 2.76, 2.11, 1.91, and 1.89 in the years 2011–2015. Of the 74 total deaths in these 5 years, 62 (83.7%) were due to natural causes, while 12.2% died by suicide. Statistically significant differences were observed in age, education, and marital status between patients with SMD who were alive and dead.

Conclusion:
We observed nearly two-times higher mortality among patients with SMD in rural Tamil Nadu. Further research is needed to examine the reasons for increased mortality among patients with SMD and interventions to reduce this excess mortality.

Authors: Elmorsy Eman H. , Alsawy Eman S. Ali Gawdat , Elsronbawy Basma S.A. , Taha Alsayeda A.A. 
Published: May 2023

Background
Psoriasis is a noninfectious, inflammatory, and hyperproliferative skin disorder. Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) is a serine-threonine protein kinase that plays a role in the transition of G1/S, the initiation of DNA synthesis, and the regulation of the S phase exit in the cell cycle. CDK2 is uniformly expressed in healthy human epidermis being located mainly in the cytoplasm and nuclei of basal keratinocytes.

Objective
To compare the CDK2 density by immunohistochemistry in lesional versus nonlesional psoriatic skin and normal control and to correlate its expression with disease severity.

Patients and methods
This study was conducted on 30 patients with plaque psoriasis and 20 age-matched and sex-matched controls. Biopsies were obtained from the active plaque (lesional) and nonlesional skin of the patients and normal controls. CDK2 density was assessed by counting immunohistochemically positive nuclei in 1000 suprabasal keratinocytes at ×400 power fields.

Results
CDK2 was negative in normal control skin (no positive nuclear staining was seen in suprabasal keratinocytes). Meanwhile, the psoriatic group showed diffuse nuclear positivity in suprabasal cells. The density was significantly higher in lesional versus nonlesional skin. CDK2 density in lesional and nonlesional skin showed a statistically significant correlation with Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score (r=0.820 and 0.683, P<0.001 and <0.001, respectively).

Conclusion
CDK2 density is high in plaque psoriatic epidermis more than in nonlesional and control skin, and this was positively correlated with disease severity. It indicates that it may play a role in the development of psoriasis and may be a potential therapeutic target.

Published: May 2023

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:
To derive a new horizontal plane which can be a suitable alternative to Frankfurt horizontal plane (FH plane).

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
200 pre-treatment lateral roentogenic cephalograms from patient records in the department of orthodontics and dentofacial orthopaedics were traced. The landmarks were identified and marked and the measurements were carried out. Patients with all skeletal relationships were included in the study. The angle formed between the lines connecting anatomic porion, orbitale and machine porion was measured and tabulated. Dimorphism between the genders if any was also evaluated.

RESULTS:
The mean angulation between the planes from the anatomic porion to orbitale to machine porion (PoA-Or-PoM) in our sample is 3.14 ± 2.17°. PoA to Or to PoM angulation for males is 2.57° and for females is 3.4°.

CONCLUSIONS:
SIDS plane also called as derived FH plane given here is a reliable and easily reproducible alternative to the FH plane.
The Function of Forward Planned Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy Technique in Radiotherapy of the Intact Breast Dose Distribution Optimization
Authors: Rather Sajad Ahmad , Khan Aijaz Ahmad , Banday Muddasir Sharief , Tali Tavseef Ahmad , Baba Misba Hamid 
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT

Objective:
The recommended course of treatment for early-stage breast cancer is breast-conserving surgery followed by adjuvant whole-breast radiation. It is challenging to obtain homogeneous dose distribution using standard procedures because of breast irregularities. Currently, it is possible to use different breast irradiation techniques such as a field in field (FIF) which produces a more homogenous distribution of doses within the target volumes while sparing the organs at risk, leading to a better treatment outcome.

Materials and Methods:
The present study aimed to compare the conformal and the FIF techniques dosimetrically. In this retrospective dosimetric study, we evaluate 20 patients with early-stage breast cancer who underwent computed tomography. For each patient, two different treatment plans were created, three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy and a FIF plan. A dose of 50 Gy in 25 fractions was prescribed to the planning target volume (PTV).

Results:
The plans were compared with each other on volume coverage (conformity and homogeneity) and OAR sparing. The dosimetric parameters and monitor components were compared with paired sample t-test. The FIF technique obtained a significantly lower dose homogeneity index, lower maximum doses, and higher median doses in PTV (P < 0.05). In ipsilateral lungs, FIF significantly reduced the maximum and mean doses (P < 0.05). In patients with left-sided breast cancer, minimum and maximum doses and V40 of the heart were significantly decreased in FIF plans (P < 0.05). Doses to the contralateral lung differ to a little degree as well.

Conclusion:
The use of forward intensity-modulated radiation therapy (RT) technique for RT of high-risk node-positive breast cancer patients provides an efficient and reliable method for achieving superior dose uniformity, conformity, and homogeneity in the breast chest wall volume with minimal doses to the OAR. Monitor units were less in FIF, with less time on the machine and less machine consumption.

What Leads to "Serial Killer" Behavior?
Authors: Kasireddy Rishikrit 
Published: May 2023

The paper is a hypothesis/inestigative paper that dives into the causes for "serial killer" behavior. The main claim is that the amygdala is one of the main causes of vioent behavior. Examples such as Ted Bundy and Ed Gein are desrcibed and analyzed to find a connection between their actions and their dyfunctional amygdalas. The crimes of Ted Bundy and his remorseless killings reveals his psychopathic behavior that is most likely caused by the problems with his amygdala. Ed Gein's childhood trauama and unhealthy attachment to his mother lead to schizophrenic behavior after her death, which may have caused problems in his amygdala, which in turn leads to crime.

Late Recurrences in Soft Tissue Sarcomas - A Review
Authors: Athipatla Vivek , Sanders Carrie 
Published: May 2023

Sarcomas are malignant tumors that arise from the connective tissue. Soft tissue is part of connective tissue and includes fat, muscle, nerves, tendons, and blood and lymph vessels. Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) account for 1 percent of all adult cancers in the U.S. Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a type of STS that grows in smooth muscles. LMS accounts for 7-11% of all cases of STS. Generally, STS are treated with wide margin surgical resection and some patients are offered radiation and/or chemotherapy to decrease recurrence. Recurrences generally happen in the first two years and late recurrence is defined as appearance of original cancer after 5 years following initial treatment and being disease free. Late recurrences can be in the local area of the initial site or at a distant location. A patient with LMS in the left upper arm was treated with a curative intent with radiation and surgery in Kentucky in 2016. He relocated to Fort Worth, TX recently and was found to have the same LMS in the stomach in 2022, more than 5 years after his initial curative treatment. This prompted us to do literature review of late recurrences in STS. We found that late recurrences happen in 6-15% of patients with STS even if they survived 5 years without cancer following original cancer treatment. LMS accounts for 12% of all late recurrences. Only 27-36% of all STS patients are expected to be alive at 5 years from diagnosis of late distant recurrences.
Effects of Nanomaterials on Enhancing the Performance of Energy Storage Devices in Germany
Authors: Muller Hans 
Published: May 2023

Purpose: This study investigates the effects of nanomaterials on enhancing the performance of energy storage devices in Germany.
Materials and Methods: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low-cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Results: The literature review and experimental findings reveal that nanomaterials can significantly improve the performance of energy storage devices in terms of energy density, power density, cycling stability, and safety. Nanomaterials offer unique properties, such as high surface area, improved charge transport, and enhanced electrochemical activity, which can positively impact the performance of energy storage devices. However, the effects of nanomaterials are highly dependent on their composition, morphology, size, and surface properties, as well as the design and fabrication of the energy storage devices. The research highlights the potential of nanomaterials as promising candidates for advanced energy storage technologies.
Recommendations: This study contributes to the understanding of the effects of nanomaterials on enhancing the performance of energy storage devices, specifically in the context of Germany. The research provides valuable insights into the fundamental principles, mechanisms, and applications of nanomaterials for energy storage, which can be beneficial for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in the field of materials science, electrochemistry, and energy storage technologies. The findings of this study have implications for the design, optimization, and commercialization of advanced energy storage devices with improved performance, durability, and sustainability.
A Style and Its Origins
Authors: Barker Howard , Houth Eduardo 
Published: May 2023

Howard Barker's alter-ego Eduardo Houth first materialised as the photographer of publicity images for Barker's theatre company The Wrestling School, one of many fictional identities assumed by the playwright to screen a range of his activities, including set and costume design.
Writing of himself in the third person and in the historic tense, Barker/Houth achieves a fluency and an uncommon measure of objectivity, though objectivity is scarcely the sole intention. The result is a unique exercise in self-description, partisan but without the shrill self-justification so common in a mere autobiography. Barker/Houth's A Style and its Origins is very much a literary creation; it is also a totally original document and a rich history of the dramatist and his aesthetic.

IntroductionPhysical activity is a proposed factor int the development of hip pathologies in male and female. The main objectives of this study were to investigate the influence of gender on isometric hip muscle strength, hip range of motion and gluteus medius thickness at rest, during contraction and onset activation.Material and methodsA cross-sectional study was carried out. Hip range of motion, hip muscle strength and gluteus medius thickness at rest, (B-Mode) and onset activation (M-Mode) were measured in thirty asymptomatic university athletes without history hip pain.ResultsA total of fifteen males (30 hips) and fifteen females (30 hips) with a mean age of 22 ± 6.5 and 20 ± 2.75 years old were recruited. Females demonstrated greater hip range of motion in flexion, abduction and internal rotation in dominant and non-dominant legs (p < .05) but no differences were found extension, adduction and external rotation (p > .05). Furthermore, females showed less isometric hip muscle strength in hip flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal and external rotation (p < .05) but not in strength ratios (p > .05). In addition, female exhibited less gluteus medius thickness at muscle contraction, less differences in rest-contaction thickness, but no differences were observed for rest thickness or contraction velocity.ConclusionsThis study found that asymptomatic female athletes demonstrated greater hip flexion, abduction and internal rotation ROM, less isometric hip muscle strength and different gluteus medius thickness and onset activation compared with asymptomatic male athletes.
