Can LISA Resolve Black Hole Binaries in the M87 Globular Clusters?
Authors: Evans Donavon , Kremer Kyle 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
As stellar black holes (BHs) interact with one another in globular clusters, BH binaries form, inspiral, and merge via gravitational wave emission. These dynamically formed BH binaries may account for a fraction of the sources observed by LIGO/Virgo and, earlier in their inspirals, may be detected at millihertz frequencies by LISA in nearby galaxies. M87, known to contain over 104 globular clusters, is a promising candidate for such millihertz sources. Utilizing N-body cluster simulations, we investigate the binary BH population in M87 clusters. Although thousands of sources in LISA’s frequency range (10−5–1 Hz) are expected in M87's clusters, we predict none are resolvable with sufficiently high signal-to-noise ratios. We predict the nearest globular clusters in the Milky Way and clusters found in distant galaxies (d ≳ 100 Mpc) near LISA’s detection horizon for stellar BH binaries are more promising hosts of resolvable LISA sources.
Improved Redshifts for DESI EDR Quasars
Authors: Wu Qiaoya , Shen Yue 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey will provide optical spectra for ∼3 million quasars. Accurate redshifts for these quasars will facilitate a broad range of science applications. Here we provide improved systemic redshift estimates for the ∼95k quasars included in the DESI Early Data Release (EDR), based on emission-line fits to the quasar spectra. The majority of the DESI pipeline redshifts are reliable. However, ∼19% of the EDR quasars have pipeline redshifts that deviate from our new redshifts by >500 km s−1. We use composite quasar spectra to demonstrate the improvement of our redshift estimates, particularly at z > 1. These new redshifts are available on Zenodo:10.5281/zenodo.8302310

Published: September 2023

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic affected physicians’ practices of prescribing antibiotics for Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (URTIs).
Aim: This study aims to explore the perceptions of resident physicians in a teaching hospital towards antibiotic prescribing for Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (URTIs) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: This was a qualitative study based on conducting in-depth face-to-face interviews with resident physicians. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim in Arabic, translated to English, anonymised, and analysed thematically.
Results: Data analysis produced five broad themes: determinants of prescribing antibiotics for URTIs before and after the pandemic, uncertainty in differentiating between COVID-19 cases and other URTIs, the shift in antibiotic prescribing for URTIs following the pandemic, the place of azithromycin in the treatment of COVID-19, and patients’ expectations of antibiotic prescribing.
Conclusion: The study demonstrated that the COVID-19 pandemic added to the complexity of controlling the use of antibiotics in a country that is already striving against inappropriate antibiotics utilization.

Cet article s’intéresse aux carrières féminines en Suisse romande dans le domaine de la protection de l’enfance, dans la seconde moitié du xx e siècle. S’appuyant sur des entretiens biographiques réalisés avec des professionnelles qui ont été actives sur ce terrain (éducatrices sociales, travailleuses sociales, juges des mineur·es, directrices de foyers), nous questionnons leur place dans ce domaine d’intervention et interrogeons la spécificité des parcours féminins en regard de ceux de leurs collègues masculins, en abordant successivement plusieurs thématiques présentes dans leurs témoignages : origine sociale et familiale, formation, postes occupés, réformes rêvées ou accomplies, déroulement de carrière et promotion. Si des points communs avec leurs confrères masculins sont observables, pointant vers une homogénéisation progressive dans le déroulé des carrières à la fin du xx e siècle, l’article évoque quelques-unes des spécificités qui traversent ces parcours féminins au cours de la période considérée : possibilités de promotion grâce aux opportunités offertes par le secteur privé, rôle des réseaux d’interconnaissance féminins dans la construction des carrières, intérêt pour les problématiques des mineures, spécificité du lien personnel et affectif avec les publics.

Published: September 2023

Purpose: Corn fodder is often used for fattening beef cattle, which compete for feeding other livestock. However, Sorghum fodder has a nutritional value equivalent to corn fodder. This study aims to determine the effect of substituting of corn fodder with sorghum fodder on the body weight gain of cattle and also the digestibility of nutrients.Research method: Nine local beef cattle with weights ranging from 139-239 kg were allocated in a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments given were: R0 = basal ration (30% corn fodder + 70% concentrate); R1 =15% corn fodder +15% sorghum fodder +70% concentrate; and R2 = 30% sorghum fodder + 70% concentrate. The data were analyzed using covariance analysis. Body weight gain; digestibility of dry matter, digestibility of organic matter, digestibility of crude protein, and digestibility of crude fibre were measured.Findings: Based on the analysis of covariance, the study showed that there was no significant difference (P>0.05) between substituted sorghum fodder and ration consumption, body weight gain, ration conversion, and digestibility of feed substances (dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, and crude fibre) in beef cattle. The results showed that body weight gain ranged from 0.63-1.18 kg/head/day, feed conversion ratio ranged from 5.12-9.66, and digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, and crude fibre, 76.29%-79.10%; 79.16%-82.16%; 72.47%-76.13%; and 45.46%-46.70% respectively. This study revealed that Tebon corn can be completely (100%) substituted by fodder sorghum in beef cattle rations.Research limitations: This research was conducted at the farmer level, which causes the diversity of cattle used as experimental material to be quite high. Therefore, in analyzing the data, we used covariance analysis.Originality/Value: This research informs that the use of forage sorghum can replace corn fodder up to a limit of 100%.

Authors: Deshpande Vinuta Ritesh , Metgud Deepa 
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Early childhood development is a fundamentally important phase and is influenced by stimulus and nurturing. Environment influences, particularly the home environment, is considered the critical factor for optimal growth and development. Objectives: To determine the impact of home environment on motor development in South Indian infants. Method: 164 infants aged 1-11 months residing in Belagavi City, India, were recruited in a community-based cross-sectional study based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Structured questionnaire was used to assess the home environment followed by motor development assessment using Peabody developmental Motor Scale-2 (PDMS-2). Results: Gestational age was positively associated, while duration of breast feeding, hospitalization and weight of the infant (-1.17, p= 0.03) had negative association with the fine and total motor quotient of PDMS-2. Father’s education, occupation and income had significant positive effect on total and fine motor quotients. Outside space to play had positive association with fine motor quotient (2.28, p= 0.0154). Non availability of play material like pop up toys and child never exposed to play with floating toys, cups and socks also showed lower total quotient scores. Conclusions: Gestational age, father’s education, occupation and income had a positive effect on the motor development of South Indian infants participating in the study.

Published: September 2023

Introduction: ‘Good touch’ and ‘bad touch’ is a sensitive topic whose relevance is very high in the present-day scenario. Children in India are not aware about the topic and thus become more susceptible to child sexual abuse (CSA), a rising evil in society. Objectives: To assess the awareness of ‘good touch’ and ‘bad touch’ amongst school children. Method: An observational, questionnaire‐based cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 children studying in Class III to Class VI in two schools of a metropolis in North India. A structured pre-validated questionnaire was used to assess the awareness and knowledge of study participants on ‘good touch’ and ‘bad touch’. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 23.0. Results: Of the 200 children 61% said that they have some previous knowledge about ‘good touch’ and ‘bad touch’, while 39% were totally unaware about it. Excellent scores were obtained by 20% students, good scores by 63% students and average scores by 17% students. There was no significant association of awareness of ‘good touch’ and ‘bad touch’ with any of the socio-demographic variables. Conclusions: Excellent scores were obtained by 20% students, good scores by 63% students and average scores by 17% students regarding awareness of ‘good touch’ and ‘bad touch’.

Abstract
Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC) is a type of salivary gland carcinoma which is a low grade epithelial tumor and follows an indolent course. The main modality of treatment is surgical excision with or without adjuvant radiotherapy. A 33-year-old female patient presented to us with dysphagia, change in voice, and right ear ache. Clinical examination revealed an 8 cm × 6 cm submucosal growth over the right side base of the tongue crossing midline and also extending to anterior two-third of the tongue. Magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography scan revealed tumor involving bilateral base of the tongue as well as anterior tongue. Biopsy from the lesion revealed HCCC with Ewing sarcoma breakpoint region 1 gene arrangement. Upfront tracheostomy followed by intraoral surgery was performed and the specimen was removed in toto and wound closed primarily. Postoperatively, she was decannulated within a week and started full oral diet within 10 days. The final histopathology report indicated HCCC. The patient underwent 30 fractions of adjuvant RT and is on regular monthly follow-up with no signs of residual disease. HCCC is a low-grade epithelial tumor with an indolent course and rarely seen in the head-and-neck region. The ideal treatment modality is excision of the lesion with adequate margins with or without adjuvant treatment.

Published: September 2023

Abstract

Background:
One of the most feared complications in parotid surgery is facial nerve palsy which is known to affect the patient’s quality of life severely. Many instrument systems are already available commercially for electrophysiologic facial nerve monitoring.

Objectives:
The present study aims toward exploring the role of electrophysiologic facial nerve monitoring in the identification, dissection, and protection of facial nerve during parotid surgery.

Materials and Methods:
Forty confirmed cases of parotid tumors were recruited into the control and experimental groups. Intraoperative facial nerve monitoring was performed in the experimental group whereas no facial nerve monitoring was performed in the control group. The feasibility of locating the facial nerve, surgical time for locating facial nerve, and postoperative facial nerve function was compared in the control and experimental groups.

Results:
We have found that the electrophysiological monitoring of the facial nerve can reduce the occurrence of facial nerve palsy and can reduce the surgical time by early localization of the facial nerve.

Conclusion:
Facial nerve monitoring can help the surgeon in preventing facial nerve damage. It is strongly recommended that intraoperative facial nerve monitoring should be adopted during primary as well as revision parotid surgery.

Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT
Rogers syndrome is an extremely rare autosomal recessive syndrome of which only 100 cases are known worldwide. It is characterized by thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anaemia, diabetes mellitus and sensorineural deafness. It results from the deficiency of a thiamine transporter protein. We herein report a 16-year-old Indian male referred to our centre with complaints of refractory anaemia, deafness, diabetes pulmonary arterial hypertension and tricuspid regurgitation. Based on the clinical features and haematologic picture and dramatic response of anaemia to thiamine therapy the possibility of a TRMA was considered. Sequencing analysis for TRMA revealed a homozygous c.242dup (p.Tyr81Ter) mutation of the SLC19A2 gene.

Published: September 2023

Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to analyze age for prescription of presbyopic glasses and factors influencing the frequency of their change.

Materials and Methods:
This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study conducted on patients presenting to the outpatient department of ophthalmology of a tertiary care center from January 2022 to June 2022. Informed written consent was taken. History regarding near work was obtained and detailed examination was done.

Results:
Males 293 (58.6%) had more preponderance than females 207 (41.4%). Occupations such as tailors, teachers, drivers, engineers, and welders required early (<40–49 years) need of presbyopic correction and frequent (2–3 times in the span of 10 years) change of glasses. Individuals with short height, lower upper segment: lower segment (US: LS) ratio, and hypermetropia were in need of early presbyopic correction and frequent change of glasses.

Conclusion:
Factors contributing to early need of presbyopic correction in age ranging from <40 to 49 years were occupations needing near work, short height, lower US: LS ratio, and hypermetropia. Factors contributing to increased frequency of change of glasses were occupations needing near work, normal to taller height, lower US: LS ratio, hypermetropia, and the usage of visual display units.

Authors: DCunha Aureen Ruby , Rai Sandeep B. , Rao Swathi Sunil , D'Souza Neevan 
Published: September 2023

Aims:
Childhood constipation is presenting with increasing frequency at pediatric surgical clinics. The caregiver's role in prevention and management is pivotal. This study aimed at determining mothers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices with regard to childhood constipation and the association of these with demographic variables.

Materials and Methods:
This was a survey-based descriptive study conducted at a tertiary care hospital in South India. Randomly selected mothers of children aged 1–10 years consulting for any problem other than constipation were included in the study. Data collection was done by means of a pretested and prevalidated questionnaire.

Results:
There were 169 mothers with a median age of 30 years. Over half were homemakers and of a rural background. Urban mothers scored better than their rural counterparts in the attitude section (P = 0.034). Mothers with greater knowledge had better attitude (P = 0.001) and practice (P = 0.020) scores. Those with higher attitude scores also fared better in the practice section (P = 0.04).

Conclusions:
Knowledge, attitude and practice concerning childhood constipation are connected to each other. South Indian mothers are sufficiently aware of the nuances surrounding childhood constipation, but focused large-scale outreach programs and health education are necessary to bridge the gaps.
Assessment of Antenatal and Postnatal Prognostic Indicators in the Outcome of Neonatal Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT

Context:
Despite advances in neonatal intensive care, surgical methods, and anesthesia, congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is still associated with significant mortality. Predicting which babies will have poorer outcomes is essential to identify the high-risk babies and to give targeted care and accurate prognosis to the parents, especially in a resource crunch set-up.

Aims:
The aim of this study is to evaluate the antenatal and postnatal prognostic factors in neonatal CDH that can be used to predict the outcome.

Settings and Design:
This was a prospective observational study in a tertiary care center.

Subjects and Methods:
Neonates presented with CDH within 28 days of life were included in the study. Bilateral disease, recurrent diseases, and babies operated outside were excluded from the study. The data were collected prospectively, and babies were followed until discharge or death.

Statistical Analysis Used:
Data were expressed in mean with standard deviation or median with range based on normality. All the data were analyzed using the SPSS software version 25.

Results:
Thirty babies with neonatal CDH were studied. There were three right-sided cases. The male-to-female ratio was 2.3:1, and 93% of babies were antenatally diagnosed. Seventeen out of the 30 babies underwent surgery. Nine (52.9%) underwent laparotomy, and 8 (47%) underwent thoracoscopic repair. Overall mortality was 53.3%, and operative mortality was 17.6%. Demographic characteristics were comparable between expired versus survived babies. The significant predictors of outcome identified were – Persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN), mesh repair, high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV), use of inotropes, 5-min APGAR, ventilator index (VI), and HCO3 levels.

Conclusions:
We conclude that the prognostic indicators associated with poor prognosis are low 5-min APGAR, high VI, low HCO3 levels in venous blood gas analysis, mesh repair, HFOV, inotropes usage, and PPHN. None of the antenatal factors studied showed any statistical significance. Further prospective studies with a larger sample size are recommended to confirm the findings.
