Published: December 2022

Groundwater in Central Punjab is declining at an alarming rate of one meter annually in last two decades and likely to be exhausted up to 300 meter depth in next 2-3 decades as per recent report published in 2018 based upon exhaustive analysis done till 2017 by the relevant agencies (Anonymous, 2018). All the blocks in this zone are over exploited. Rainfall and temperature are predominant meteorological parameters which influence irrigation demand which in turn influences ground water withdrawal; which ultimately influence groundwater depth in the region. Area under rice is increasing due to high returns. So, the trend analysis of these parameters is of paramount importance for sustainability of agriculture in this region. The aim of the present investigation was to study annual trend of precipitation, maximum and minimum temperature and rainfall for 10 locations in Central Punjab during 1998–2019. The effect of rainfall and rice area on groundwater depth has been also studied. To achieve this non-parametric Mann-Kendall and Sen's applied to the data series of annual rainfalls, annual maximum and minimum temperature of the ten selected stations. The nonparametric statistical tests applied to series of annual Tmax revealed an increasing trend in all of the locations of the study area. According to results by Sen’s slope estimator, the increasing trend in annual precipitation series was detected at the Tarantaran, Kapurthala,Ludhiana, Moga, Barnala and Jalandhar, while other stations had negative or no trends.

Published: December 2022

Rainfall is a function of space and time and highly variable in space and time. It is important to study these changes for planning purpose and for improvement in operational weather forecasting. It is therefore necessary to make a planning and proper management of total rainfall amount for the welfare of common men. Accordingly, in this paper, the daily rainfall during June-September (JJAS) of Uttar Pradesh (U. P.) during last two decades (2001-2020) is analyzed.
Analysis shows that, east U. P. experienced negative departure during 2001 to 2020 except 2003 (20%), 2008 (17%) and 2019 (02%) and highest negative percentage departure (-47%) in the year 2015 and West U.P. also experienced negative departure 2001 to 2020 except 2003 (32%), 2008 (03%), 2010 (0%) and 2018 (01%) and highest negative percentage departure (-56%) in the year 2014. As regards, whole U.P., it received negative percentage departure from the normal for years 2001 to 2020 except during 2003 (24%), 2008 (12%) and highest negative percentage departure (-47%) in the year 2014. Hence, it may be concluded that during most of the years, Uttar Pradesh witnessed negative percentage departures during last two decades excluding only couple of years as mentioned above.
The rainfall variability in respect of west U.P., east U.P. and state as whole for the months of July and August is least and for the months for June and September is highest. Overall, for the whole season, rainfall variability is less than 30 percent. Rainy days during southwest Monsoon over U.P. are around 59-68 days and average intensity of rainfall is about 10mm per day.

Introduction:
Perioperative cefazolin administration for total joint arthroplasty is a first-line antibiotic recommended by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) guidelines for the prevention of periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs). We aim to analyze the clinical viability of giving patients with a documented penicillin allergy (PA) a perioperative full-strength cefazolin “test dose” under anesthesia.

Methods:
This is a retrospective chart review of 2,451 total joint arthroplasties from a high-volume arthroplasty orthopaedic surgeon over a 5-year period from January 2013 through December 2017. This surgeon routinely gave patients with a documented PA a full-strength cefazolin test dose while under anesthesia instead of administrating a second-line antibiotic. The primary outcomes examined were allergic reaction and postoperative infection.

Results:
Cefazolin was given to 87.1% of all patients (1,990) and 46.0% of patients with a PA (143). The total rate of allergic reactions among all patients was 0.5% (11). Only one patient with a documented PA who received cefazolin had an allergic reaction. The reaction was not severe and did not require any additional treatment. In patients who had no reported allergies and received cefazolin, 0.3% (6) had an allergic reaction. There was no statistically significant difference in the rate of allergic reaction when comparing patients with and without a PA (P = 0.95). Patients receiving cefazolin had an overall PJI rate of 2.9% (57) versus those patients receiving antibiotics other than cefazolin who sustained a 5.5% PJI rate (16), which was statistically significant (P = 0.02).

Conclusion:
This study found that utilization of a full-strength test dose of cefazolin in patients with a documented PA is a feasible, safe, and effective way of increasing the rate of cefazolin administration and thus mitigating the risk of PJIs.

Published: December 2022

Background:
Computer assistance can help surgeons achieve mechanical accurate alignment, but the clinical effect of this technology in different arthroplasty types remains controversial because of conflicting functional outcomes, revision rates, and complication rates. The goal of this study was to compare 90-day medical complications and 1 and 2-year revision surgeries after computer-assisted patellofemoral arthroplasty, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (CA-UKA), bicompartmental knee arthroplasty (CA-BKA), and total knee arthroplasty (CA-TKA) with non-computer-assisted procedures.

Methods:
A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted using the Mariner data set of the PearlDiver Patient Records Database from 2010 to 2018. Current Procedural Terminology codes were used to identify patients who underwent patellofemoral arthroplasty, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, bicompartmental knee arthroplasty, and total knee arthroplasty with or without computer assistance for osteoarthritis. All included patients were followed up for 2 years. Univariate and multivariable analyses were conducted.

Results:
On multivariable analysis, revision within 1 year was decreased in patients who underwent computer-assisted patellofemoral arthroplasty (odds ratio [OR]: 0.541, P = 0.031), CA-UKA (OR: 0.798, P = 0.019), and computer-assisted bicompartmental knee arthroplasty (OR: 0.186, P = 0.025) compared with the same surgeries without technology assistance. CA-TKA had decreased odds of revision for aseptic loosening at 2 years (OR: 0.789, P < 0.001). CA-UKA and CA-TKA had decreased risk of overall 90-day medical complications (OR: 0.838, P < 0.001; OR: 0.903, P < 0.001, respectively) and major complications (OR: 0.750, P = 0.004; OR: 0.822, P < 0.001, respectively).

Discussion:
Complication rates and revision surgeries for all arthroplasty types were equivalent or more favorable when computer assistance was used during surgery. Our results quantify some early benefits to using computer assistance in total and partial knee arthroplasties.

Euclidean distance degree of zero-set of two polynomials
Authors: Pham Thu-Thuy 
Published: December 2022

In this note, we recall the study of the Euclidean distance degree of an algebraic set X which is the zero-point set of a polynomial (see [BSW]). Specifically, consider a hypersurface defined by a general polynomial f with its support and contains the origin i.e 0 support of f. In the paper [BSW], the authors study about the Euclidean distance degree (EDD) and found that the EDD of this hypersurface is approximately by the mixed volume (MV) of some Newton polytopes.
The main purpose of this note is to study the case that the manifold is defined by two polynomials . We show that the Euclidean distance degree is equal to the solution of the Lagrange multiplier equation. Furthermore, we also find out that the EDD of this variety is not greater than the mixed volume of Newton polytopes of the associated Lagrange multiplier equations.

Early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer in TB patients remains a challenge. The presence of active TB or post-TB changes is a factor, which impedes timely detection of lung cancer. Differential diagnosis estimates the history of pulmonary TB or surgical interventions as TB/post-TB changes in the lungs and underestimates the possibility of tumor development. This may result in delayed diagnosis of lung cancer and worsen treatment prognosis. The article represents clinical observations of the development of lung cancer after successful treatment of advanced pulmonary TB. According to our experience, the emergence of new infiltrative changes in the operated lung without bacterioexcretion and atypical clinical course of the disease should alert and make continue diagnostic search. In such cases, resection samples should be obtained for histological, cytological, and microbiological studies to allow rapid differential diagnosis between TB and lung cancer in the operated lung.

Authors: El-Shelik Ola Mustafa , Emran Ali Mahmoud , Younes Rasha Lotfy , El-Badry Amr Mohamed 
Published: December 2022

Background: The best imaging technique for post-operative knee assessment is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The challenge of using MRI to diagnose problems in the knee is made more challenging by surgical alterations. Therefore, reliable MRI assessment depends on the ability to distinguish between the normal post-operative MRI image of the knee elements and their anomalies. The purpose of this research was to compare the clinical result with the use of MRI to identify predicted morphological changes in the knee menisci during the first two years after arthroscopic operation.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 30 patients with previously undergone meniscal repaired or meniscectomy and reported having ongoing or frequent knee discomfort. All patients had extensive clinical examinations and detailed history collection, radiographical imaging and MRI.
Results: MRI examination of the knee post operatively showed that the time needed for beginning of meniscus healing after surgery ranged from 3-6months. 27 patients (90%) had a meniscus tear in the posterior 1/3. Degenerative tears 11 (36.4%) was the most prevalent meniscal tears pattern diagnosed by MRI. No effusion occurred in 25 (83.3%) patients. Thirty cases were treated; seventeen received arthroscopic repair, and thirteen underwent resection. 11 patients (36.6%) had symptoms ranging from joint swelling or pain, restricted motion, instability/giving away, and catching/locking, whereas 19 (63.4%) were asymptomatic.
Conclusions: Within the first two years after arthroscopic operations, MRI plays a useful role in detecting anticipated morphological alterations of the knee menisci.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is one of the most well-liked new innovative and promising manufacturing techniques, which has demonstrated tremendous potential for the creation of biostructures in tissue engineering, particularly for bones, orthopaedic tissues, and related organs. 3D printing for the medical industry was considered a lofty pipe dream. Time and money, though, made it a reality. Today's 3D printing technology has a significant possibility to assist pharmaceutical and medical corporations in developing more specialised pharmaceuticals, enabling the quick creation of medical implants, and transforming how doctors and surgeons approach surgical planning. In today's practise of precision medicine and for individualised therapies, patient-specific anatomical models that are 3D printed are becoming increasingly helpful tools. In contrast to the conventional use of 3D printing to create cell-free scaffolds, 3D bioprinting requires various technical methods, such as biomimicry, autonomous self-assembly, and mini-tissue building blocks, to create 3D structures with mechanical and biological properties suitable for the deposition of living cells and the restoration of tissue and organ function. Cells, bioinks, and bioprinters are all necessary components of the bioprinting process, and each one of them has biological, technological, ethical, and cost- and clinically-effectiveness-related issues. As a result, there are several difficulties in integrating 3D bioprinting into widespread clinical practise. Currently, there are multiple applications for 3D bioprinting such as in surgery, cardiovascular system, musculoskeletal and even in drug screening. All of which will be discussed in this review.
