Authors: Pendam Meghana , Madke Bhushan 
Published: March 2022

Background: Chronic spontaneous urticaria is thought to occur due to the patient's predilection to produce self-reactions. Urticaria contributes to loss of sleep, anxiety, depression, lack of motivation and social isolation, which may contribute to a substantial decrease in the patient's quality of life. Chronic spontaneous urticaria is unpredictable and can impair the patient's usual everyday activities. Autoimmune thyroid disorders are as a consequence of immune system dysregulation, that results in a thyroid invasion. A relationship between Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria and Autoimmune Thyroid Disorders is related to the duration and severity of the disease. Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria is associated with the presence of antithyroid antibodies. This study aims to analyze the changes in Patients detected with T3, T4, TSH and anti-TPO of chronic spontaneous urticaria, in contrast to normal healthy individuals and patients with other skin diseases which do not have abnormal thyroid etiopathogenesis.
Materials and Methods: This will be a Case Control study conducted at Department of Dermatology, AVBRH, Sawangi, Wardha. Patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria will be subjected to a thorough clinical review and will be scored based on urticaria severity scoring. To test for autoimmune thyroid disease, the levels of T3, T4, TSH and anti-TPO antibodies will be traced. Data will be collected and analysed with appropriate statistical tests.
Expected Results: Statistical correlation between chronic spontaneous urticaria and autoimmune thyroid disorders which can aid in the early detection and arrest of progression of autoimmune thyroid disorders in chronic spontaneous urticaria.
Conclusion: Preventive steps toward patient management can be taken with this analysis in chronic spontaneous urticaria, in patients with deranged parameters for the T3, T4, TSH and ANTI – TPO.

Published: March 2022

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate crestal bone loss around immediate loading compression screw implants.
Study Design: A Randomized controlled clinical trial.
Method: In this randomized study, 15 subjects with 30 edentulous sites in the maxillary and mandibular anterior regions (incisors and canines) willing for replacement were taken into consideration. A total of 14 implants were placed in healed sites and 16 implants were placed in freshly extracted sockets and immediately loaded in both groups. Provisional restoration was delivered on the same day of implant placement. Crestal bone loss was evaluated at baseline (immediately after implant placement), 1 month, and 4 months. The final prosthetic restoration was delivered after 4 months following implant placement.
Results: No statistically significant difference for crestal bone loss was observed between delayed and immediate implant placement at 4 months interval.
Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, immediate placement of one-piece implant produced crestal bone loss comparable to delayed placement. The unique design of a one-piece implants eliminates the fixture abutment interface (microgap) and resembles the natural tooth with a seamless transition of the radicular unit to the coronal unit. Therefore, in the maxillary and mandibular anterior regions, one-piece implants with immediate loading can be considered as a viable solution for the replacement of missing teeth with better esthetics.

Published: March 2022

Aims and Objectives: To compare the duration of post operative analgesia of nalbuphine 0.3 mg/kg IV and butorphanol 0.04 mg/kg IV in patients posted for short surgical procedures under TIVA. Also to observe the sedation score as well as the side effects like nausea, emesis, pruritis, hypotension, respiratory depression.
Materials and Methods: By closed envelope technique, sixty female patients of ASA Class I and II aged 20-60 years, who were posted for short gynaecological surgeries under TIVA were randomly allocated into two groups: Group N (nalbuphine) and Group B (butorphanol). Just prior to surgery, Group N patients got IV Nalbuphine 0.3 mg/kg, while Group B patients received IV Butorphanol 0.04 mg/kg. Patients were asked to rate their pain intensity on a VAS scale in the course of the postoperative period, and the duration of postoperative analgesia was compared between the two groups. The Modified Ramsay sedation scale was exercised to assess sedation at the time of pain complaint, and patients were additionally monitored for 24 hours post the surgery for any adverse or side effects.
Results: In group N, 63.33% of patients had duration of pain relief ranging 31-50 minutes, with mean duration of analgesia being 46.333 ± 2.061. In group B, 60% of patients had duration of pain relief ranging from 11-30 minutes, with mean duration being 19.167± 1.68 minutes. In group N, 63.33% of patients had score for sedation as 3 and rest (36.67%) had a score for sedation as 2. In group B, 80% of patients had a score for sedation as 2 and rest (20%) had a score for sedation as 1.
Conclusion: When compared to IV Butorphanol, intravenous Nalbuphine delivers a more effective post-operative analgesia with better sedation. IV Nalbuphine is recommended for post operative analgesia in patients undergoing short surgical procedures. Both the drugs did not cause any side effects.

AbstractIntroductionBehavioural dysfunction is a key feature of genetic frontotemporal dementia (FTD) but validated clinical scales measuring behaviour are lacking at present.MethodsWe assessed behaviour using the revised version of the Cambridge Behavioural Inventory (CBI‐R) in 733 participants from the Genetic FTD Initiative study: 466 mutation carriers (195 C9orf72, 76 MAPT, 195 GRN) and 267 non‐mutation carriers (controls). All mutation carriers were stratified according to their global CDR plus NACC FTLD score into three groups: asymptomatic (CDR = 0), prodromal (CDR = 0.5) and symptomatic (CDR = 1+). Mixed‐effects models adjusted for age, education, sex and family clustering were used to compare between the groups. Neuroanatomical correlates of the individual domains were assessed within each genetic group.ResultsCBI‐R total scores were significantly higher in all CDR 1+ mutation carrier groups compared with controls [C9orf72 mean 70.5 (standard deviation 27.8), GRN 56.2 (33.5), MAPT 62.1 (36.9)] as well as their respective CDR 0.5 groups [C9orf72 13.5 (14.4), GRN 13.3 (13.5), MAPT 9.4 (10.4)] and CDR 0 groups [C9orf72 6.0 (7.9), GRN 3.6 (6.0), MAPT 8.5 (13.3)]. The C9orf72 and GRN 0.5 groups scored significantly higher than the controls. The greatest impairment was seen in the Motivation domain for the C9orf72 and GRN symptomatic groups, whilst in the symptomatic MAPTgroup, the highest‐scoring domains were Stereotypic and Motor Behaviours and Memory and Orientation. Neural correlates of each CBI‐R domain largely overlapped across the different mutation carrier groups.ConclusionsThe CBI‐R detects early behavioural change in genetic FTD, suggesting that it could be a useful measure within future clinical trials.
Adaptive tracking control of time‐varying delay switched nonstrict‐feedback nonlinear systems with unknown backlash‐like hysteresis
Authors: Xu Ning , Chen Yun , Xue Anke , Zong Guangdeng , Zhao Xudong 
Published: March 2022

SummaryIn this article, the adaptive tracking control issue is addressed for uncertain switched nonstrict‐feedback nonlinear systems with unknown time‐varying delay and backlash‐like hysteresis under neural networks (NNs) estimation framework. In contrast to most existing results of nonlinear systems with time‐delay, the time‐varying delay we consider depends entirely on the number of switching subsystems. Based on the inherent properties of radial basis function NNs, the nonstrict‐feedback structure is effectively compensated. Meanwhile, with the help of the combination of Razumikhin function method, adaptive backstepping scheme, and dynamic surface control approach, the quadratic common Lyapunov function is established for all subsystems, and then an adaptive common control strategy is developed. For arbitrary switching signals, it is shown that all the signals in the closed‐loop system can be remained bounded and the system output can follow a desired signal under the designed controller. Finally, the validity of the presented strategy is verified via two simulation examples.

Published: March 2022

AbstractAlthough Si and graphite (Si/C) composite materials are among the most promising alternative to graphite anode in commercial batteries because of high capacity, the issue of the poor structural and interfacial stability of the composite electrode is extremely challenging. Herein, an interface‐adaptive triblock polymer binder that can interact Si and graphite particles to improve the particle affinity and binder spreadability via the supramolecular interactions of π∙∙∙π stacking and hydrogen bonding is presented. The strategy of enhancing the interfacial interactions can further effectively stabilize the electrode interface and minimize the electrode/electrolyte side reactions. Benefiting from this proposed binder, the Si/C anode retains a high reversible capacity (82.1%) after 400 cycles and delivers improved cycling stability even at high areal capacity (4 mAh cm−2, 0.067% capacity loss/cycle) and in Si/C|LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 full cell (0.22% capacity loss/cycle). This design strategy for the binder provides a novel path toward high‐energy, long‐cycling Si/C anodes.

Authors: Zhang Fangli , Zhang Wenchao , Wexler David , Guo Zaiping 
Published: March 2022

AbstractAqueous monovalent‐ion batteries have been rapidly developed recently as promising energy storage devices in large‐scale energy storage systems owing to their fast charging capability and high power densities. In recent years, Prussian blue analogues, polyanion‐type compounds, and layered oxides have been widely developed as cathodes for aqueous monovalent‐ion batteries because of their low cost and high theoretical capacity. Furthermore, many design strategies have been proposed to expand their electrochemical stability window by reducing the amount of free water molecules and introducing an electrolyte addictive. This review highlights the advantages and drawbacks of cathode and anode materials, and summarizes the correlations between the various strategies and the electrochemical performance in terms of structural engineering, morphology control, elemental compositions, and interfacial design. Finally, this review can offer rational principles and potential future directions in the design of aqueous monovalent‐ion batteries.

Published: March 2022

AbstractThe discovery of 2D van der Waals (vdW) magnetic materials is of great significance to explore intriguing 2D magnetic physics and develop innovative spintronic devices. In this work, a new quasi‐1D vdW layered compound CrZr4Te14 is successfully synthesized. Owing to the existence of 1D [CrTe2] and [ZrTe3] chains along the b‐axis, CrZr4Te14 crystals show strong anisotropy of phonon vibrations, electrical transport, and magnetism. Density functional theory calculations reveal the ferromagnetic (FM) coupling within the [CrTe2] chain, while the interchain and interlayer couplings are both weakly antiferromagnetic (AF). Notably, a large intrinsic negative magnetoresistance (nMR) of −56% is achieved at 2 K under 9 T, and the in‐plane anisotropic factor of nMR can reach up to 8.2 in the CrZr4Te14 device. The 1D FM chains and anisotropic nMR effect make CrZr4Te14 an interesting platform for exploring novel polarization‐sensitive spintronics.
Effective Approaches for Designing Stable M–Nx/C Oxygen‐Reduction Catalysts for Proton‐Exchange‐Membrane Fuel Cells

Published: March 2022

AbstractThe large‐scale commercialization of proton‐exchange‐membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) is extremely limited by their costly platinum‐group metals (PGMs) catalysts, which are used for catalyzing the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics at the cathode. Among the reported PGM‐free catalysts so far, metal–nitrogen–carbon (M–Nx/C) catalysts hold a great potential to replace PGMs catalysts for the ORR due to their excellent initial activity and low cost. However, despite tremendous progress in this field in the past decade, their further applications are restricted by fast degradation under practical conditions. Herein, the theoretical fundamentals of the stability of the M–Nx/C catalysts are first introduced in terms of thermodynamics and kinetics. The primary degradation mechanisms of M–Nx/C catalysts and the corresponding mitigating strategies are discussed in detail. Finally, the current challenges and the prospects for designing highly stable M–Nx/C catalysts are outlined.
