Published: August 2023

Objectives:
Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) are one of the most important congenital anomalies in children which have high-risk for neurodevelopment delay. This study was conducted to determine the proportion of developmental delay in children with CHD and comparison of delay between acyanotic and cyanotic heart diseases in children.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted on children admitted in pediatric ward of rural hospital from 6 month to 6 years of age who are diagnosed with CHD by 2D ECHO and further classified into acyanotic congenital heart disease (ACHD) and cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD). Neurodevelopmental assessment was done using Trivandrum development screening chart (TDSC).

Results:
Out of total 50 children in study population, 24 children had TDSC delay, distribution as 11 (22%) ACHD and 13 (26%) CCHD. Out of 24 children in the age group of 0–3 years, 13 (54.2%) were ACHD and 11 (45.8%) were CCHD. Out of 26 children in the age group of 3–6 years, 15 (57.7%) were ACHD and 11 (42.3%) were CCHD. Among different ACHD included in the study population (0–3 years) children with ventricular septal defect (VSD) were maximum (n = 5) next in the decreasing order was atrial septal defect (ASD) (n = 3). ACHD included in the study population (3–6 years) children with VSD was maximum (n = 6) next in the order was ASD (n = 4). Proportion of delay in children with ACHD was 22% as compared to 26% in children with CCHD.

Conclusion:
There is a high proportion of neurodevelopmental delay in children with CHD which can be detected using TDSC which is a simple screening tool and can be used by any health-care professional without training for the assessment of neurodevelopmental outcome in these children. Delay was more in children with CCHD than ACHD.

Published: August 2023

Objectives:
The objective of this study was to compare the sensitivity and specificity of serial ASPECTS for predicting IHM and unfavorable outcome defined by a modified Rankin Scale score ≥3 at the time of discharge from the hospital in thrombolyzed AACIS patients.

Materials and Methods:
This retrospective study examined thrombolyzed AACIS patients admitted at Saraburi Hospital, a regional health-care facility in Thailand. The study was conducted between January 2015 and July 2022. The comparative predictive performance of the baseline ASPECTS, 24-h ASPECTS, and change in ASPECTS for IHM and unfavorable outcome was examined using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The optimal cutoff values were identified based on Youden’s index and the nonparametric method to compare the area under the ROC curve (AuROC) among the three scales. The potential confounders adjusted by multivariable logistic regression were reported odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).

Results:
Three hundred and forty-five patients with thrombolyzed AACIS were analyzed; the median age was 61.8 ± 15.2 years. 53.0% were male, and the median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was 11 points (interquartile range: 8–17). The AuROC for predicting IHM was 0.823 for the baseline ASPECTS, 0.955 for 24-h ASPECTS, and 0.920 for the change in ASPECTS. For predicting unfavorable outcome, the AuROC was 0.744 for the baseline ASPECTS, 0.853 for 24-h ASPECTS, and 0.800 for the change in ASPECTS. After adjusting for other factors, the OR for predicting IHM was 14.38 (95% CI: 1.69–122.57) for 24-h ASPECTS and 16.7 (95% CI: 4.36–64.01) for the change in ASPECTS. Regarding unfavorable outcome, the adjusted OR was 5.58 (95% CI: 1.83–17.01) for 24-h ASPECTS and 4.85 (95% CI: 2.45–9.60) for the change in ASPECTS.

Conclusion:
The 24-h ASPECTS and change in ASPECTS could be more precise predictors for predicting IHM and unfavorable outcome in patients with thrombolyzed AACIS.

Authors: Vijayalakshmi Sundaram , Rajagopal Kaipangala , Govindan Radhakrishnan , Ganjekar Sundarnag , Prathyusha P. V. , Chacko Leena Kunnath 
Published: August 2023

Objectives:
Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is a vital concern among women with mental illness (WMI) due to the increased risk for unplanned pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and poor obstetric outcomes. Objective of the study was to explore the current use of family planning (FP) methods, symptoms of STIs and sexual dysfunction among WMI.

Materials and Methods:
This descriptive study involved 404 WMI of reproductive age (18-49 years) attending tertiary care psychiatric outpatient clinics in India. During face-to-face interviews, centers for disease control and prevention (CDC)-reproductive health assessment toolkit-FP questionnaire, STI questionnaire and Female sexual function index (FSFI) were used to collect the data.

Results:
Of 404 WMI, 261(64.6%) were users, and 137 (33.9%) were non-users of FP methods. About 6(1.5%) WMI did not respond FP methods question. Female sterilization was the highest among the users, 244(93%). Among non-users, 100 (73%) were unaware of choosing the effective method of FP. Most of the WMI, 377(93.3%), were unaware of STIs. The symptoms of STI reported include unusual genital discharge 62(15.3%) and genital ulcers/ sores 58(14.4 %). Most of them, 76(63.3%), were not on any treatment. The most common reason for not taking treatment was feeling ashamed 70(92.1%). Female sexual dysfunction was reported in 176(43.6%). Most of the WMI had difficulties in the arousal domain 288(71.3%), followed by low desire 233(57.7%) and dissatisfaction 186(46%).

Conclusion:
Most WMI underwent sterilization. Non-users of FP methods were not aware of choosing the effective method. Awareness about STIs was poor, and feeling ashamed was the primary reason for not availing of medical help. Nearly half of the WMI reported sexual dysfunction, among which arousal difficulties, low desire and dissatisfaction were common. Health professionals need to increase awareness about FP methods and symptoms of STIs among WMIs. Women require appropriate counselling regarding SRH and treatment for sexual dysfunction.

Published: August 2023

Purpose: This work aims to analyze and compare the performance between the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method executed in Minitab (v. 17) and the genetic programming performed in Eureqa Formulize (v. 1.24.0).

Theoretical reference: Obtaining a model that mathematically describes the relationship between the independent variable and the response variable is essential to optimizing the process. The model can be described as an approximate representation of the real system or process, while the modeling process is a balance between simplicity and accuracy (X. Chen et al., 2018; Gomes et al., 2019; Sampaio et al., 2022; A. R. S. Silva et al., 2021).

Method: An Evaluation of the best method for constructing mathematical models was performed using the Adjusted Coefficient of Determination (Radj2) and Akaike's Information Criterion

Results and conclusion: The comparison between the use of the methods showed the superiority of genetic programming over OLS in the construction of mathematical models.

Originality/Value: Genetic Programming produces mathematical models that are sometimes differentiated when several replicates are performed, but always with similar explanatory power and with biased characteristic that does not affect in any way the quality of prediction of the dependent variable being studied.

Published: August 2023

The desiccant air conditioning system consists of two processes, namely cooling and dehumidification, in which the air temperature and humidity are controlled in order to provide comfortable thermal conditions. A typical system includes a dehumidifier, indirect evaporative cooler, and regenerator. The desiccant is selected depending on its ability to absorb water vapor present in the air. In this study, calcium chloride solution was used as a desiccant for the desiccant solution regeneration process, and a flat plate solar collector was employed. Different variables, such as the primary air flow rate, desiccant flow rate, and the concentration of the desiccant solution, were changed during the experiments. The impact of these variables on the performance parameters of the desiccant system such as moisture removal rate, moisture efficiency, enthalpy efficiency, sensible heat ratio, and the mass transfer coefficient was studied. The obtained results revealed that as the solution concentration and the flow rate of primary air increase, the moisture removal rate, sensible heat ratio, and mass transfer coefficient increase. A particular value of inlet primary air flow rate (0.18Kg/s), an increase in the inlet concentration of calcium chloride solution from 0.85 to 0.95 leads to a rise in moisture removal rate, sensible heat ratio, and mass transfer coefficient of (1.1 _1.65) g/s, (0.18-0.25), and (0.01075-0.0123) m/s respectively. While at a certain inlet concentration of a desiccant solution (0.95), increasing the inlet primary air flow rate from 0.1Kg/s to 0.18Kg/s leads to an increase in the moisture removal rate, sensible heat ratio, and mass transfer coefficient o (0.94-1.26) g/s, (0.24-0.26), and(0.0038 -0.011) m/s respectively.

OBJECTIVE
Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations in both high- and low-grade gliomas are associated with an increase in survival compared with IDH–wild-type (IDHwt) tumors. A rare and understudied population is elderly individuals, ≥ 65 years of age, who have IDH1-R132H–mutant (IDHmt) gliomas. The objective of this paper was to characterize the institutions’ experience with IDHmt gliomas in a patient population ≥ 65 years of age over the last 10 years.

METHODS
A retrospective study of individuals ≥ 65 years of age with IDHmt gliomas treated between 2010 and 2020 at Memorial Sloan Kettering was performed.

RESULTS
Twenty-five patients ≥ 65 years of age underwent resection or biopsy with a diagnosis of IDHmt glioma (52% WHO grade II, 32% WHO grade III, and 16% WHO grade IV). The most common presenting symptoms were seizure (28%) and motor or sensory deficits (24%). On preoperative MRI, 56% of tumors demonstrated contrast enhancement and 44% had no enhancement. Most patients underwent craniotomy for resection (n = 23, 92%), with subtotal resection achieved in the majority (16/23, 69.6%). Postoperative discharge location included home (64%), acute rehabilitation (16%), subacute rehabilitation (8%), and unknown (12%). Most patients received postoperative chemotherapy (72%) and radiation therapy (68%). The 2- and 5-year survival rates for the overall cohort were 83.1% (95% CI 69.3%–99.7%) and 69.7% (95% CI 53.2%–91.3%), respectively, with gross-total resection or near-total resection, contrast enhancement, and WHO grade significantly associated with survival. From the clinical sequencing data, no significant differences were identified between younger and older IDHmt cohorts.

CONCLUSIONS
While IDH mutation in elderly patients may be rare, these patients have favorable survival relative to their IDHwt counterparts. Age at diagnosis should not be used in isolation to suggest a molecular IDHwt status or poor prognosis when guiding patient treatment decisions.
