Published: February 2023

Background: Various therapies have been used to restore blood flow and stabilize renal function in patients with pregnancy related acute kidney injury (AKI-P). There are favorable effects of electrical stimulation on muscle metabolism, microcirculation and possibly renal function; therefore, this study suggests for the first time that neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has a positive effect on renal functions of women with AKI-P.
Methods: This randomized controlled design study evaluated the effect of NMES on renal blood flow and hemodynamics for women with AKI-P. Patients were randomized into two groups; NMES group (Group ES) versus Control group (Group C). Group ES received routine care and NMES while Group C received routine care only, data was collected from obstetric ICU. Improvement of renal functions was considered the primary outcome and secondary outcome was improvement of hemodynamics.
Results: NMES application had caused no a statistical significant change in serum creatinine in Group ES than Group C on mid period and last day of the study (230.13 ± 83.69 in Group ES versus 258.3 ± 115.77 in Group C) and (180.21 ± 63.65 in Group ES versus 201.32 ± 84.78 in Group C) (P = 0.285 & P = 0.297) respectively.
Conclusion: Application of NMES had no effect on their renal functions but there are improvements on hemodynamics.

Impact of femoral nerve block versus fascia iliaca block on postoperative pain control after hip arthroscopy: a prospective randomized trial
Authors: Alansary Amin Mohammed , Elgouhary Mohamed O , Rashed Mohamed Mohsen , Ali Mohamed Mourad 
Published: February 2023

Background & Objectives: Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive technique that has been widely used to treat a variety of hip joint diseases. However, severe postoperative pain usually follows these surgeries, necessitating the use of multimodal pain control strategies. Regional blocks like femoral nerve block (FNB) and fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) allow for better postoperative analgesia while using less parenteral opioids. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of ultrasound guided FNB versus ultrasound guided FICB for postoperative analgesia.
Methodology: A total of 60 patients, planned for hip arthroscopy, aged 21−65 y, of either sex and ASA I−II were randomly divided into two groups: Group FICB (n= 30), in which FICB with 40 mL levobupivacaine 0.25% was done after induction of general anesthesia (GA) and Group FNB (n = 30) in which FNB with 20 mL levobupivacaine 0.25% was done after induction of GA. Time to the first analgesic use was the primary outcome, whereas total pethidine consumption as rescue analgesic in the first 24 h postoperatively, VAS scores, and the assessment of postoperative early ambulation were the secondary outcomes.
Results: Patients in the Group FICB experienced a significantly shorter time to ambulation compared to Group FNB; 17.2 ± 2.1 vs. 19.8 ± 2.1 h respectively (P < 0.001). There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding time to first analgesic requirement (pethidine), total pethidine consumption, and the VAS scores. No cases of drug allergy were reported in both groups.
Conclusion: Both fascia iliaca compartment block and femoral nerve block were effective in reducing postoperative pain; however, fascia iliaca compartment block was superior regarding early ambulation.

Dexmedetomidine vs dexamethasone as adjuvants to levobupivacaine in ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block for patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy: a randomized double-blind study
Authors: Ahmed Heba Ismail , Ali Ashgan Raouf , Emam Norhan Hisham El , Magdy Mohamed , Gamal Reham Mohamed 
Published: February 2023

Background & Objective: Erector Spinae Plane block (ESPB) is used in patients subjected to modified radical mastectomy (MRM) as a part of balanced anesthesia technique, and to offer prolonged postoperative analgesia. Local anesthetic agents are usually combined with various adjuvants to augment the effect. We compared dexmedetomidine (Dex) versus dexamethasone as adjuvants to ESPB in patients undergoing MRM.
Methodology: This randomized controlled study involved 90 patients subjected to MRM under general anesthesia with preoperative ESPB using 30 ml levobupivacaine 0.25%. They were randomly assigned into three equal groups according to the adjuvants used. Dex Group (n = 30) received 1 µg/kg dexmedetomidine, Dexa Group (n = 30) received 10 mg dexamethasone, and ESPB Group (n = 30) received no adjuvants. Patients were monitored for pain using VAS scores and vital signs. The primary outcome measure was total morphine consumption. The secondary outcomes were intraoperative fentanyl consumption, pain intensity, and analgesia duration.
Results: The postoperative analgesia duration was significantly longer in the Dex group compared with the ESPB group (P = 0.029) but not in the dexamethasone group. Intraoperative fentanyl and postoperative morphine consumption were significantly lower in the Dex group than in the ESPB group. VAS scores were significantly lower in the Dex group than in the ESPB group at rest and movement. VAS scores of the Dexamethasone group were similar to that of the ESPB group at rest and movement.
Conclusion: As an adjuvant to levobupivacaine in erector spinae plane block, dexmedetomidine reduces pain at rest and with movement, reduces intraoperative fentanyl and postoperative morphine consumption, and prolongs the analgesia duration. It is superior to dexamethasone in pain reduction and duration of analgesia.

Published: February 2023

In health sector, the academics require the faculty members to publish their scientific or scholarly work to contribute to the ever-evolving knowledge and understanding. It also develops connections with people of same field to promote learning and knowledge as a part of continuing education. Due to lack of formal coaching and instruction at the undergraduate level, regarding research methodology, including hypothesis development, sample size calculation, data collection and ethical approvals, the poorly constructed articles are often rejected by the reviewers. Thorough understanding of manuscript writing makes it potentially strong to be accepted by the editorial team. A quality article is a positive addition to the vast field of scientific research. Thus, to ensure the accuracy of scientific knowledge, the manuscripts have to be evaluated intricately. By addressing the issues responsible for rejections, one can maximize the rate at acceptance.

<p> Deep brain stimulation (DBS) delivers electrical stimulation directly to brain tissue to treat neurological movement disorders such as Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Adaptive DBS (aDBS) is an advancement on DBS that uses symptom-related biomarkers to adjust therapeutic stimulation parameters in real time to improve clinical outcomes and reduce side-effects. A significant challenge for the field of aDBS is developing automated methods to optimize stimulation parameters using remote assessments of symptom severity. To address this challenge, we designed a prototype at-home data collection platform that can remotely update aDBS algorithms and explore objective assessments of motor symptom severity. Our platform collects neural, inertial, and video data, and supports clinician validation of automated symptom assessments. We deployed the system to the home of an individual with PD and collected pilot data across six days. We evaluated motor symptom severity by recording data with stimulation amplitudes set to varying levels during self-guided clinical tasks and free behavior. We assessed movement features including frequency, speed, and peak angular velocity from video-derived pose estimates and inertial data during three clinical tasks. All features showed a reduction during periods of under-stimulation and were significantly correlated with video-based clinical scores of symptom severity (Spearman rank test, <em>p </em>< 0.006). These results demonstrate that our prototype is capable of remote multimodal data collection and that these data can enhance aDBS research outside the clinic. </p>

During the taxonomic and ethnomedicinal survey for the Flora of the Dudwa Tiger Reserve on Nov 24, 2006 along with M.Sc. Botany students the authors were introduced by their guide Sri Baddal Ram Rana, a local Tharu tribe, to a miraculous ethnomedicinal plant, locally named as Van Sanai. The author were told by Mr. Rana that the leaf juice of the plant has a miraculous effect in case of snake bite. If a tea spoonful of leaf juice is anyhow administered to the patient through mouth, the effect of snake bite is neutralized within a very short time. Mr. Rana is resident of village Muen Nuchani (a tharu villege) P.O. Parsia, P.S. Chandan Chauki, Distt. Kheri Lakhimpur. His statement was later confirmed by Mr. Kewal Singh Rana resident of the same vi llage and al so workin g as gui de ove r there, Mr. Mi hi Lal Dangaura, a wi tch ery (an elderl y Jadu Tona specialist) resident of village Balera P.O. Dhuskiya, Distt. K heri Lakhimpur and Mr. Rahul Kumar Singh residnt of Village & Post Semra Hardoo Distt. Kushinagar (U.P.). Van Sanai was found in very few number in sporadic manner at Kharighat bank of Suheli River in Sonaripur range of Dudwa National Park. Accordi ng to Sri Y.P.
